Could Kirk Cousins Follow Kyle Shanahan to the Browns?

I understand you've grown fond of Johnny football (and I'm happy to admit I know more about beer then football)
but all I can do is read and listen to the guys that write this shit for a living. I'm not hearing any of the big boys singing the praises of any of these four guys.
Is there a chance that one of them might turn out to be a superstar? Sure. But just from what be pregnant caters: have to say the best chance is billed water and he's not near the class of Elway or Luck.
Heck maybe Po G will be the guy that guesses right?

I actually like Bridgewater better than Johnny. And lager better than IPA.

Well, I know it's a chance, but I'd really take that chance that it might be fool's gold, rather than trading for Kurt cousins to be the starter and just being an outright fool.
The guy went in the 4th round and hasn't done anything to tell us he's any better than that.
I'd take one of the guys on our roster, Hoyer, over him ... and we don't have to trade anything for him.
But in the end, I take a shot at Bridgewater (or Johhny Walker or Bortles & James ... whoever it is that they love the most ... roll the dice again until we get it right.)

Well we can't tank 2-3 years and hope a Luck comes along, this is the draft we have gotta make the best of it.
Bridgewater is the best QB in this draft though, and the only one I'd spend a top 5 pick on. book it

the dude is a twig.
unless he is playing behind denver's OL then get ready for snap, crackle and pop.

I don't know what the speculation is here Hoyer will be under center with a 3500 yard season

I would argue our O Line is better than Denvers...the dude is a twig.

personnel wise they match up. Peyton Manning makes those guys look great. Pretty sure they lost two of their top lineman in training camp, including the center, and never missed a beat...ahahaha, +1 for an awesome troll!!

I could see something as high as of one of our thirds and a conditional 2015 pick for Cousins, but that's it. He flashed magic in 2012 (101.6 rating), but not so much in 2013 (58.4 rating). I think that in part the sharp decline in 2013 was due to the team quitting on Daddy Shanahan late in the season after he "shut down" RG3. This versus 2012 when the 'Skins were in the proverbial hunt.
But I have a feeling that Kubiak may like Cousins quite a bit. Cousins seems like a more polished TJ Yates, who Kub's really liked in Houston.
As for Grossman... no... He's had a career full of teams that thought they could wring good play out of him. Now he's a 3rd stringer. Who needs a veteran, journeyman third stringer? That's a young pup slot... a project kinda guy...

We should take one look at RG3 busted leg and leave this Shanahan/Manziel idea well alone
You mean like Hoyer? RG3 busted leg is a function of him not sliding. Manziel isnt a running QB, I am not advocating for Manziel its just a bogus comparison in my opinion. And remember RG3 was playing when he shouldnt have been, thats on the HC.

If he isn't a running QB I would love to know who is? He's also a weasel that gets injured by college guys let alone NFL players.

Shanahan reportedly likes Grossman and Grossman reportedly knows Shanahan's system and will serve as a playing coach. You may have mistaken me, for someone who is pimping Grossman or Kirk Cousins. I'm not. All I was saying is that neither I nor any of the analysts I have read see a blue ship quarterback in this draft. Could be that Lombardi and Banner are a lot smarter than they seem to have been given credit for here and will pull a rabbit out of their collective hats.
But if the rumors are true that Kyle Shanahan was at odds with rg3 then it would stand to reason that there will be problems between him and Johnny Manziel. Maybe Johnny isn't the guy at the front office really wants and it's just a smoke screen.

Kirk Cousins hasn't done anything... why not just draft a 3rd or 4th round guy instead of trading a pick...

Seriously...? He started 1 game in 2012, and it happened to be against the no pass-rush, no secondary Cleveland Browns who, like always, made him look like an All-pro. Last year, he only had 1 decent game which was against a struggling ATL... a game he threw 2 INTs in, and his team lost...
No thanks. I'd keep the picks and draft a late-round QB if I want another backup that badly...

We have enough draft picks to get Andrew Luck out of Indianapolis? Cuz there aint a franchise quarterback in this batch...Zombo said:
I'm not sure why we would go that route. We are looking for a franchise QB and we have enough draft picks to take a stab at one. There is nothing I have seen from Cousins that tells me he's going to be any better than Hoyer will be. Hoyer plus a pick seems to be the ticket to me.
Z
Also doesn't it seem like Johnny Manziel and Kyle Shanahan would butt heads??? And as far as that goes the guys on the radio are suggesting Rex Grossman comes to Cleveland.

Em Diggy thinks Bridgewater may be every bit the QB that Luck is, no?

Not sure why those two would butt heads any more than any other pair of new QB/OC.
Grossman....ah.....NO

"Grossman" and "coach" just don't go together in my brain...
Totally agree on "our" QB draft analysis.
Seriously...? He started 1 game in 2012, and it happened to be against the no pass-rush, no secondary Cleveland Browns who, like always, made him look like an All-pro. Last year, he only had 1 decent game which was against a struggling ATL... a game he threw 2 INTs in, and his team lost...
Yes, seriously... He did look good against us in 2012, but he also stepped into two other games when RG3 got dinged and did well.
The 2013 ATL game was the first of the RG3 shutdown games. While you're correct that he threw 2 INTs, he also completed 64% of his passes for 381 yards and 3 TDs. I saw the game. Cousins fought hard in a game where many of his teammates looked like they were mailing it in.
I think he's worth what I proposed.

Cousins has a career passer rating of 69. Weeden's is 72.
yet cousins is 1-0 against weeden. What's ur fucking point?? Because cousins struggled when the Redskins had already phoned it in. If that's ur sample size then fuck Hoyer!!Cousins has a career passer rating of 69. Weeden's is 72.

I'm going to say I doubt he follows Shanahan here because it looks like Shanahan's interview went very poorly.

better question is what is YOUR fucking point. You think that one game actually is indicative of how Cousins can play as opposed to the larger data set of 5 games in 2013?? I think not. That game was in 2012 as well where our defense stunk even worse.

one of my best friends son's best friend was in the same dorm as grossman was and the kid says he toked up more than gordon, little and bess combined.
yeah, let's bring him in.
talk about the cardiac kids...how about the cardiac arrest kids?

so a Redskins team that was way worse offensively in 2013 than in2012 is proof. By those standards Washington Should be looking for new qb this yearbetter question is what is YOUR fucking point. You think that one game actually is indicative of how Cousins can play as opposed to the larger data set of 5 games in 2013?? I think not.
