True that. I'm going to have to break out the neosporin.

And do you see a stud in this draft? I don't. But yes one or two might be "decent". This class has some better than decent defenders. That's what we need more than a "decent" QB draft pick.

You could make a case for Cardale Jones, I think. Especially if we could get him in the mid rounds. He has great potential, but will obviously need some work.

Being tagged, so we can put that conversation to bed for another year at least.

Good. He can blow me right after Colin Kaepernick gets done.

There is depth in defenders and not in QBs. Outside off Goff and Wentz, it drops off. Goff looks the part.

Right with you... right up til the end...

No proof of this, but I drove my Sports Bar compadre's crazy with how we needed to trade DA while his value was high... Edwards', too.

And yet I'd probably have rather kept d.a. over anyone we've started since him.

That's quite the endorsement.

Yeah that's about as far as I go.

I hate the idea of most of what's rumored to be "available", just not Cousins I guess.

I hate the idea less.

@miktoxic said:

ok. then either draft you're fuckin franchise QB and shut up about bosa or make a deal for some serviceable guy that can go a season without getting broken in half.

what's YOUR choice?

Is this even a debate Jackson already said we are drafting a qb. As we should. I've never mentioned Bosa ever. Don't know what would make you bring that up. We should try at free agent qbs. Cousins is not one of them.ive always liked Cousins over rg3... so I'm glad redskins finally pulled their heads outta there ass.

@mr.-make-believe said:

I kind of like Cousins. I kinda would be okay with him being targeted.

That's quite the endorsement.

@gftchris said:

Yep....20 mil for one year is probably a smart move.....but 15-20 mil for 4 years??, no way....tag is the way to go....

@gftchris said:

I totally agree. The only, and I mean ONLY problem with that tag option is the price. That's why I made up the tiny 5% chance he doesn't stay, LOL. But like I said...what's it worth to not have to worry about your QB issue? Hell, we'd gladly pay $20 million to not have to talk about the QB for a year or two! Washington is yet another example of how valuable the WR truly is. Cousins started really playing well after about week 6 I think, and that's pretty close to when Desean Jackson came back healthy (I believe Jackson came back later, but whatever). The point is, Desean Jackson came back healthy and it opened up the deep ball for the Redskins, which opened up other things. Hell, it seemed like just about every week for the last 7 weeks Desean had a long bomb for a TD. The big play WR is so important, and here's to hoping we have ours back...healthy...sober...and ready to work.

Jiggles - I have a feeling this ends with a franchise tag, and a 'lets see if you can do that again' season for Cousins in washington. Both parties are happy with that I think.

However...if my concocted percentages are correct, and obviously I just made them up (LOL), that leaves a 5% chance he goes elsewhere. Should that happen, he would obviously be the most coveted QB in the market, and there are several teams that would make silly offers to him because QB's are just too damn precious in the NFL. Many teams have to draft a guy, deal with his learning pains, and take the "wait and see" approach. Other lucky teams get guys like Carson Palmer, Drew Brees, and Alex Smith. The talented free agent QB is the unicorn of the league, and they are as valuable as they are rare. These guys can choose from a variety of locations, and let's just say that Cleveland isn't generally number one on their list.

Regardless of how you feel about Cousins, the Skins would be fools for not doing everything they can to keep the guy. Is Cousins worth $20 million a year? Of course not, but $20 million IS worth knowing you won't have to be searching for your QB (if that makes sense). Think about it...what would our team pay to FINALLY have the QB conundrum solved?

What REALLY hurts is that multiple sources reported the Redskins were shopping Cousins for a while, and they were asking for a second rounder (I don't remember the specific details, but I'm pretty sure I'm right). I believe the Browns were interested, but obviously didn't pull the trigger. This was obviously before Cousins' recent success, so I can see why we didn't, but it just goes to show you how inept we are at identifying talent. Sure, Cousins was a turnover machine, but was there a way to look past that and see what the guy could do? I don't know, but hopefully we have the right guys in our town to finally get it right.

Well if they had other good years they're not one year wonders. So this is kind of a self-answering question.
