Move On?

Casserly says he doesn't consider Cousins a top-10 QB. He didn't sound real convinced. Sounded like he was very well aware this clip could come back to haunt him.

One way of thinking is if we can't make a long term deal this year, why franchise him? Since he won't be around next, cuz financial numbers. In that case, "move on." 

Move on...to what? Seriously - move on to what? There's nothing there. An old Tony Romo? How is that better than KC? You going to sign him long term? he's going to get less injury prone, demand less salary, be around in 2-3 years?

Move on translates into start another rebuilding projected based around a gaping hole at the most important position. How does that make any sense? Any drafted QB will take years to mature. That's the rule. Dak Prescott was the exception, but what all these people are forgetting is that now the league grasps his ability, has the video on him, can plot to stop him more effectively. He will not play as well in year two as in year one, you can bet on that. So which QB used or untested are the Skins going to bring in to do better than Cousins? There isn't one. To get rid of Cousins means to go backwards, no matter who they bring in. Even if you truly don't want to pay KC, it makes sense to tag him for this year for reduced-frictional reasons alone. 

If the Redskins were to get rid of Cousins, then the whole Allen-McCloughan project falls apart. Instead of having a great offense in place, they have a big hole in the center, and their weak defense with new coaches will be under much more pressure. 

At this point, one realizes a lot of people, even pros, truly have bought the hype that Cousins is a plug in, that his success is due to those around him more than himself. He promotes this view with his words, but that's him being a leader - distributing credit, not taking it for himself. It's the outsiders, the analysts, who should be saying that he is the #1 reason for the Redskins success. Because that is the fact. But they won't do this, because that would mean crediting a white rather than a bunch of blacks, and the media are jews or those paid by them, and they hate whites. That may mean open raw racial hatred, as the Washington Post jews exhibit toward the new president. Or it may mean begrudging a white Christian QB the full measure of respect his production deserves. This deliberately fostered or honestly held misconception about his true value appears to have the Skins on the verge of a very serious mistake.

I will repeat: it is absolutely insane to do anything but sign Cousins to a long-term (5-year) contract, and it will be seen so within days of their not doing it. You don't want to settle for KC? You can do better? Who? Where? Are you out of your mind? Yes. You are out of your mind, if you believe that.
