Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Feb. 17 (UPI) -- "The best free agent quarterback available allegedly does not want to play for the Washington Redskins. ESPN's Jason Reid reported Thursday that Kirk Cousins "doesn't want to be in Ashburn." He also said Cousins wants the franchise tag for 2017." http://www.upi.com/Sports_News/NFL/2017/02/17/Report-Kirk-Cousins-wants-out-of-Washington/3991487352109/?ref=yfp
BarleyNY Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Washington could get quite a lot if they do have to trade him. What a weird scenario. They trade a ransom for RG3 and then take Cousins in the 4th round of the same draft. Then inauspiciously release RG3 after such disappointment, turmoil and controversy - all while Cousins blossomed into a FQB. Now they might be forced to trade Cousins and, if so, they'll likely get a bunch of picks back for him. You couldn't make that up. Edited February 18, 2017 by BarleyNY
aristocrat Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 i'm sure a nice longterm contract would fix that situation. that said...send 2 firsts and call it a day.
H2o Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Cousins wants to follow Shanahan to San Fran, not come to Buffalo. Sorry everyone who will fill this thread with the responses of "we need to sign this guy."
Andrew Son Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I like cousins but have questions about his personality and leadership
BuffaloFan68 Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I'd rather draft Mahomes or Watson Go Bills!!!!!
Kirby Jackson Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I like Cousins. He's a tier up from TT, Bradford, Dalton, Tannehill, Smith and Flacco for me. He's below guy's like Stafford though. I guess in terms of impact, Eli is the guy that he most reminds me of. He is a guy that makes a lot of plays and can get hot. He has some times where he looks lost too. If I were SF, I would give up the 2nd pick in a heartbeat for him.
NWPABillsfan Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I liked Cousins coming out of Collage. But with that said I am not sure if he would be the one for us at this time. I guess we will be sitting here waiting to see what the FO does this off season with FA and the draft. I have always been a wait and see kind of guy. So at this time all I can say is GO BILLS. We do have an undefeated record so far.

Kirby Jackson Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I'm surprised to see Flacco on your list. He really has been a pretty average QB for most of his career. He has been good in the playoffs but hasn't elevated his teams very often.
Andrew Son Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 He really has been a pretty average QB for most of his career. He has been good in the playoffs but hasn't elevated his teams very often. While true, he's above the tier you grouped him with
4merper4mer Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 This guy is different but no better than TT. He is not better than DaltonSmith, etc. he is a slightly better And younger Fitz. For $20m per. No thanks.
Kirby Jackson Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) While true, he's above the tier you grouped him withHe's not though. He's just done it longer. If you stack his numbers side by side vs. those guys it's not different. If anything, he is behind most of them on a per game basis. Flacco 61.5% completion, 241.7 yards a game (includes rushing) and 197 TDs (includes rushing) and 117 INTs. 1.68 TDs to INT Ryan Tannehill 62.7% completion, 253.5 yards a game (includes rushing) and 112 TDs (includes rushing) and 66 INTs. 1.70 TDs to INT I didn't use TT because this thread would get derailed but he has a higher completion percentage, more total yards a game and roughly a 4:1 TD/INT ratio. Flacco belongs in the tier with those guys. Edited February 18, 2017 by Kirby Jackson
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I like cousins but have questions about his personality and leadership He's a douche. Just say it. I'm sure you all saw they way he shoved that "volunteer referee" during the flag football game at the pro-bowl. No denying his talent. Better than Tyrod, certainly, but not up there with the top 5 QB's. I'd rather him not be associated with this franchise. We have enough to be embarrassed about.
Big Gun Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Note to Terry: SIGN COUSINS Yup He's a douche. Just say it. I'm sure you all saw they way he shoved that "volunteer referee" during the flag football game at the pro-bowl. No denying his talent. Better than Tyrod, certainly, but not up there with the top 5 QB's. I'd rather him not be associated with this franchise. We have enough to be embarrassed about. Jimbo was a huge doosh at first, just sayin'
Kirby Jackson Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Cousins is a good QB. He's not going coming here but if available, he'd be the best QB available (draft, trade and FA).
Bangarang Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 This guy is different but no better than TT. He is not better than DaltonSmith, etc. he is a slightly better And younger Fitz. For $20m per. No thanks. He's a lot better than Tyrod.
