skins4ever28 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 So many of you here hated on Cousins and thought it was crazy to pay him such an enormous amount of money. Well, its been 1.5 seasons, do you regret letting him go? I loved him, I thought he was the best qb we had in 20 years and even made a pathetic phone call to the Redskins office begging them to do whatever they could to keep Kirk. Of course, Bruce (as usual) screwed it up. But so many of you on here were happy to rid yourselves of Cousins, where are you now in the decision? I don't ask this to be a smart alec, Im generally curious. Those of you who hated him, didn't think he was worth the money, etc, are you happy hes gone? Do you regret the move? I always felt like letting him go and getting Alex Smith, who was just a worst version of Kirk and much older, was the dumbest move in Bruces career.

nonniey Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Absolutely always did. Just another example of the ineptitude of Bruce Allen (Also regret letting DJax go). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Hard to regret something I didn’t do, but Brucie messed up by not trading him. Not upset he’s gone, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyst Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Letting Kirk Cousins go without getting anything in return is a failure that has no justification. There were three options available. You sign him, you trade him or you lose him for nothing. The Redskins took the option that made zero sense. This is how dumb the organization is.

He'll show his real self when he has to make plays for the Vikings to get into the playoffs or in the first round of the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Nope. We lost with him and we can lose without him. Don't really miss the glory days of 8-7-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Not a fair question in context. Would I have given him a contract after his first full year as a starter instead of seeing if he can do it again? Yes. Would I have given him the fully guaranteed contract Vikings did to keep him here? No. I have no regrets on how it played out because the biggest problem wasnt letting him go, it was not replacing him. I regretted letting Djax go, put he hasnt played a game since he lite us up week 1. Wed be in a different situation if we didnt trade for Alex Smith and extended him. Kirk is making more then hes worth in the right situation. Hed jus be another overpaid QB here, we can do better if the going rate is overpaying QBs, even the great ones.

ExoDus84 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Why you blaming me? I didn't fail to re-sign him. He was the best QB we've had in a long time. He's certainly better than the trash we have on the roster now. That being said, I never felt like he was the type of QB to lead us to a ring. Too many failures in clutch moments. Too many turnovers. Too often showed up small when we needed him most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariusVT Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Only that they didn't get a deal done when the number was in the teens. For what he got from Minny no thanks, even with him being the first legit starter we've had since Brad Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazedSkinsfan Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 He had value in the eyes of other teams no matter what our opinion was of him. Letting him walk without even a measly mid round draft pick was another huge screw job by the FO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could go back in time and see why didnt even entertain the idea of trading him. Oh, that's right, Scott wanted to and it cost him his job.

Redd Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Redskins were treading water with Kirk Cousins. You don't max a guy for treading water. Redskins only mistakes with Kirk was passing on an affordable contract early and Franchise tagging him twice just to tread water. At least tag and trade but that would've made sense.

COWBOY-KILLA- Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Not. At. All. I was SO over KC by the time it ended. I dislike Kirk very very much. He is disingenuous and craps the bed when you really really need him. Good riddance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 No, but we should have either gotten a deal done before his price sky rocketed or traded him for more assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
