But realistically, Cousins needs a sports psychologist - or a hypnotist. It is very distressing to watch our Starting Quarterback operating with the mental toughness of an institutionalized lunatic. Nah, Jackson is a spread offense QB and we been there and done that. Also, the kid won't be draft eligible until 2018. Hail Em Up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Cousins has thrown the ball damn near 70 times in the first two games, for what, almost 700 yards? "Rust" should not be an acceptable reason/excuse as to his deep ball inaccuracy. I have to wonder if the whole contract situation is affecting him more than he is letting on. He has to have it in his head that every time he goes out there a good/bad performance is going to directly affect his value at the end of the season. He obviously overplayed his hand in the offseason by not accepting whatever the offer was, and now so far in 2016, while he has thrown for a ton of yards, he hasn't really been efficient or effective on some of the bigger easy throws that would have equaled points.

Skinarchy Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I'm not down on capt. Kirk The minor probem Is his misses the major problem, is the other team knows we WON'T commit to the run game...even if the rb.

aREDSKIN Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Obviously kirk just doesn't have it being the big dog. It's as clear as day. He has just sucked both games thus far. cost us the dallas game and arguably the Pitt game. As the $20 million man we need those type of resources to be invested in a competent set of players that actually perform when it counts and the pressure is on to perform. Cousin's and his agent bent us over and this is what we receive as effort and performance. Pretty abysmal and he won't be here next year if this pathetic performance continues. As many are I too am just really tired of these "players" signing big contracts to play as pee wee league 2nd stringers. We need a refund of his 1,250,000.00 game check. Vastly overpaid.

88Comrade2000 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I want to know why the Redskins have a hard time find a competent QB? The last we had a decent QB that at least gave us a few years was Mark Rypien. It is going to make me sick if Dak Prescott ends up being for real and the Cowboys find their next QB after Romo.

DiscoBob Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 We need a running game, then Kirk may look better. Problem is, our online sucks at run blocking.

drtdrums Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Kirk left a minimum of 24 points on the field by himself. We'd be killing Djax or Crowder if they dropped 3 TDs or Matt Jones if he fumbled on the goal line. Kirk missed at least 3 wide open TDs AND threw a pick in the endzone that would have been a FG to go up 6. Good players have bad games, but not THAT bad.

USS Redskins Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Well back in familiar territory... 0-2. Facing 0-3.... D is just plain bad but gave them a chance to win.

NoCalMike Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 980 just reported Kirk and Gruden had a closed door meeting after the game. Ruh-Roh.

I think the overriding point being made is that when it comes to his accuracy, having Cousins throw more in the preseason doesn't trump having Cousins throwing more now. There's something else at play behind Cousins' inaccuracy than those missing 15 extra pass attempts he would have had in game 2 of the preseason.

evmiii Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 We will live or die this season with Cousins, he's not getting yanked if he's healthy. It's been two very ugly games, but there are 14 more to go and the team needs to make a long term decision on his status. We've seen pretty good Cousins last year and really bad Cousins this year, we need to know what he is. I don't know if it's mental or physical, but this season will make it pretty clear if he's the man. It certainly appears to me the staff had some concerns coming into the season. Their hand was forced with RG3, they had to franchise tag him but not locking him in past this season spoke volumes. It's not about the money, starting QB money has been determined by the market and the QB will get paid, it's about trust and confidence. Not sure they have it or if he deserves today. if he's a bust, the future might look a lot different for the Redskins. HTTR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And early season "rust" should usually last a drive or two to start out the season. Remember Big Ben on those first couple of drives? A little erratic. Cousins has now played 2 full games, throwing the ball a ton. I don't think the primary factor at play is "rust" or lack of preaseason snaps.

Yeah, I'm not reading much into that, other than maybe it being a confirmation that what we fans are seeing isn't exactly a mirage lol...I doubt Gruden is changing his tune about Cousins one iota, and I for one hope and prays he doesn't. At the same time, this was a baaaaad game if a close door meeting is needed afterwards lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 The run game today was plenty fine.....besides the fact that they didn't run the ball enough.

Or changing it up and underthrowing a wide open WR for a sure TD, maybe? Or throwing some pretty putrid fades in the end zone...or throwing an INT in the end zone when points are desperately needed? Take your pick. the int was after what 4 calls of a fade at the goal line over 2 possessions? I mean give it to the running back now and then.
