Reaper Skins Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Oh look, here's Bruce's patented "It's everybody's fault but mine" press statement. Right on time. I'm just shocked this whole "Kirk being the bad guy" wasn't "anonymously leaked" to the press like every other PR disaster during his time here.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit. Bruce surely comes off as a self-entitled, selfish ****. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Kirk decided he wouldn't sign here long term if Bruce is still employed.

Hooper Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 After today, Cousins balling out and Skins franchising him for 34.5 million is the best case scenario. Cuz there's no way Kirk signs a LTD after that statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is going to happen until at least the end of the season and we need a respite from the constant circular discussions. The respite is to just not come in the thread. Leave it open for the people who want to engage in circular discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatteredFanSyndrome Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Bruce is notorious for doing things to make him look good and save his own ass, to the point to where even if what he relayed was the entire truth, it still makes him look bad because he just can't help but have to try and save his own ass in every single circumstance, even if its to the detriment of the team.

Didn't know he would take it in such a public and immediate way. That statement is brutal. I mean, Bruce just went to war with our starting QB! Yes, and what I see is the morons never matched the Carr deal and are stupid enough to admit that publicly in what they think is a defense.

Hooper Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 What is the point in trashing Kirk in public this way? It's beyond idiotic. He's your starting QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordranger76 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Management gets blamed for no contract the first year. Try to offer a great contract second time again. Player and agent apparently bulk (if this is true) and fans still want management hung. This fan base drives me insane. They want to pay him. He did not take it. What else do you want them to do? Sometimes it is just the player. He never wanted to be here the day he drafted. For some of you to excuse Cousins with no blame it is down right laughable. Let him go choke for some other team. Tired of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz there's no way Kirk signs a LTD after that statement. So then what do you do after you franchise him again? Playing a lame duck QB without the heir apparent waiting in the wings is about as bad as this could play out. On a team where the rest of the other 52 is trending upward.

LightningBuggs Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I thought "deadlines drive deals"? This was NEVER going to happen. Kirk is gone after '17. So Skins roll with a lame duck qb this season. Yeah, that will work out great. 5-11....here we come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsailand Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Less than 18 hours until Kirk goes on the radio to give his side of the story. After that press release, I can't imagine that he'll hold anything back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSO Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Kirk Cousins who has had to earn every little thing that's been given to him, never handed a starting spot, never given the most reps or a fair competition even after his HC stated so after the 2014 season was over, has practiced hard, never missed a meeting, studies film like crazy, is a consummate professional on and off the field, whom his coaches all praise effusively and never clashed with, etc... That guy is such a greedy, selfish, ahole who is unappreciative of this team and wrongfully doesn't want to be here! The villain!!! Woe unto him! Woe! Save us from his evil Bruce! Like you did with Mike and Scot! Thank you Dan for hiring our hero and providing this organization with competence all around and an environment for everyone to thrive in!
