Burgold Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 2 minutes ago, SkinsGuy said: I wish they would STOP talking about Cousins, and stick to the point of the thread, which is supposed to be about training camp. Take the Cousins talk to the 'Around the NFL' board, where it belongs. or at least stick it in the Alex Smith thread. There, head to head comparisons and projection might make sense. A slight diversion here or there is okay as we're still figuring out what we got in comparison to what we lost, but the hate/love stuff is tiresome.

Point well taken. I'm just in offseason mode and need to get my "fix". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatteredFanSyndrome Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Nobody talks about Kirk Cousins more than the folks that are raving about Alex Smith. Example: Alex does this great, Kirk didn't/doesn't/wouldn't/can't. Like every single freaking day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the media BFS, look at all the training camp articles being written, tons of stuff about what Alex does better than Kirk or vice versa, they're gonna push that narrative because it gets clicks.

Injuries are never good, but fortunately, toes aren't as important to DL as they are to say a WR, a RB, or a DB. I read a tweet earlier in the thread that said it didn't seem the toe issue was bothering Ioannidis, as he was practicing normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be rested for a little bit. Don't have him continue to practice for a couple of weeks so he is ready for Day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look on twitter and this site and see who more often than not prompts the Cousins discussion. Not just the last few days, for months. I’ve seen numerous people say they want to move on from Cousins discussion only to continue it. Let’s move on from the Cousins talk but before we do (insert more negative Cousins material).

Some of you have invested way too much energy into this and are seeing boogeymen where there aren't or are forcing the issue so that a compliment in Alex's favor must be viewed as an insult towards Kirk. With all due respect, you're working too hard. Stop tilting at windmills. He's gone and he's not coming back. And I never hated him, lol....Just pointing out why I think Alex may have an edge over him, even though stats are so damn close overall. I just don't get it either, I can't hope and root for Alex, without that stating I am an anti-kirker, lol.. whatever the **** that is. I have stated, I think the change could be good for both of them. Minny is a really good team and maybe Kirk needs that, that said, I won't be rooting for him after his remarks a few weeks ago, the whoa is me deal. But I certainly won't be wishing him ill will or be pissed if He plays well. 10 minutes ago, BatteredFanSyndrome said: Look on twitter and this site and see who more often than not prompts the Cousins discussion.

He is a good QB, probably was the best QB We had for quite some time, that said I am glad the Skins didn't break the bank on him. Glad to have Alex, sad to lose Fuller, still how I feel.

In some ways, epitomizes Kirk for me. Too cerebral and panicked in high pressure situations. I won't miss the dear-in-the-headlights look we saw too often in big games. that's all I will say on the matter. I wish him well though. Good guy.

Yeah a bunch of camp hype on Harris, guessing he makes the roster. But who many receivers are they going to keep? Wasn't it 5 last time? Crowder, Richardson, Doctson. Then Quinn, Davis, Quick, Harris vying for the last 2 spots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 just looked it up they had 6 receivers last time. If so guessing Davis and Quinn are the odd men out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
