<![CDATA[Kirk Cousins and the Draft]]>It's being reported that the Redskins are shutting down RGIII and that they are going to start Kirk Cousins for the rest of the year. Everyone knows that Shanahan will be gone at the end of this year but I also think that Cousins might be on his way out too. Rumors flew around a couple of weeks ago that RGIII feared losing his starting job to Cousins. RGIII and the Redskins owner Snyder have a close relationship so I see it within the realm of possibility that RGIII convinces Snyder to get rid of Cousins. Cousins played well against us last year and will be interesting to see how he plays for the rest of this year.

Here is my "What if"....

-Kirk Cousins tears it up for the final 3 games of the season but is shopped or let go because RGIII is insecure about himself.

-The Browns trade one of their 3rd picks to get Cousins.

-Don't draft a QB this year but instead focus on strengthening the OL and getting a WR.

How would everyone feel about this?

Personally I don't think this will happen but I like looking at every possibility. No way we don't draft a QB this year.

Of the skins last 3 opponents only NYG have a decent defense. Atl is 27th in yards given up, and Dallas is the worst defense in the league

Cousins should put up big numbers in these 3 games and that's EXACTLY what Wash wants. I bet he throws 50+ passes in each game

What if Washington decides to get rid of RG3 instead?

Interesting twist on the topic... Don't see it happening, but interesting...

@koalabazooka said:

More like horse's ass...

Feels like Shanahan has been trying to prove himself ever since Elway retired. He's always gotten great credit for developing RBs; seems like he wants the same for QBs.

He stayed out of Elway's head... wise move since he was a Mile-High God. But...

- He fucked with Cutler...

- He fucked with McNabb...

- He fucked with RG3...

Looks like Cousins is his last chance.

If they have to give up the extra 1st rounder to move up, it will be stupid. IMO . There is no Andrew Luck in this draft, and RG3 was not worth what the Skins gave up for him.

i don't care who the freakin guy is (and i keep saying this) it's all a crapshoot.

i'd rather bolster the OL and then finish the defense, then get our RB and WR.

i'd trade acouple of late picks and a second rounder next year for mallet than take a chance on any of these guys coming out............unless someone can completely convince me otherwise.

carr and hundley are starting to intrigue me.

whoever the QB is has got to be protected so..............

Wouldnt be too upset if we used some later round picks to move up from Indys pick to nab someone though.

Don't just look at #1 overalls... almost 50% of Super Bowl Winning QBs were drafted in the top 12, and more than 60% were drafted in the top 32, or what would be the first round now...

Sure, but my point was that a fair portion of SB winning QBs were "retreads", i.e. began their career elsewhere than where they won....about 26% of them. That includes some of those very high picks. Plunkett was on his third stop when he won and was a #1.

I agree though....we should be looking at drafting our franchise QB very high.....but who is that guy to be? Is he in this draft?

OR should we consider the "retread" route?

If so, who? Cousins?

Anyone else?

Maybe, maybe not. Statistically Griffin isn't that bad this year- but the Redskins suck. The Rams thank you for your suckage, and yet another high first rond pick.

I don't dislike the guy, but I do dislike the hype. Nice to see the ESPN frontrunners get off his schlong now that he isn't winning.

Yeah,And will likely be the reason,or part of the reason Shanny gets axed.

Quarterback is a first round proposition, mostly top 12. After pick 37 it really goes to shit.

I think Wilson and Foles are doubling the number of quarterbacks succeeding for their original team who were picked after round 2. The others are Romo and Brady.
