Welcome to the Redskins Kirk Cousins QB Michigan State

[darrelgreenie]

"reach out of need instead of taking BPA"

that is what you're advocating and what has gotten this team in so much trouble over the few years when we have draft picks.

Actually that's not what I'm advocating, its just your assumption.
And the Cousins pick is actually a need pick, albiet a future need.

you're just mincing words now.

but i've had some time to read back on this thread and i recommend that all of us stop arguing the pick and welcome him to the team.

that's what this thread is about.

Hey, not to try to stop a party, but at this point it's kind of moot. He's a Redskin now and a fine prospect. He certainly has the potential to help down the road (saving money if we don't need a vet back up in a year or two if nothing else).

I think it is time to swallow some of this woulda, coulda, shoulda, and welcome a second rounder who we got in the fourth round. Welcome Kirk.

(I mean three days of whining should be enough, shouldn't it?)

Kirk is interviewing with the Junkies on 106.7 right now

Yep. Should be,but rarely is. Now I start these threads so that there's a specific place where folks can welcome and discuss the pick,however since the time I started this,another thread,(started much earlier than this one),that specifically talked about this scenario popped up. Hence why there's been a "suggestion" that all debates about the pick of young Kirk should be directed there. Apparently,that was missed by many. So with that in mind,what say,(again and for the last time),we welcome the young man here and direct all future debating and/or whining to that thread.

For those participating in that,feel free to copy and paste some of what you posted here in to that thread,(in the interest of saving time among other things) Oh. Cheese and crackers will be made available as well.

While I'm another non-fan of the pick, he's a Redskin now so I'll support him and wish him the best of luck. If we gotta carry 3 QB's on the roster this year, so be it. I just hope he's a quick study!

I look forward to having Kirk on the 'Skins. Never hurts to have another guy who is dedicated, hard working, and a winner!!!! WELCOME KIRK!

Reminds me a lot of Chad Pennington hopefully minus the career ending shoulder issues. "Super-smart" ultra competitive. Again, I am stoked to have him on the team.

Thanks for the movement on those posts guys. You're awesome and it's appreciated.

Skip Bayliss just implied that the Redskins season holders, at least many of them, are racists. You are pathetic, Bayliss.

I didn't read all of the replies, but did anyone actually look at the board when the Redskins took Cousins? He was sliding down the draft and we actually stole him. I don't think drafting him was even on our team's radar until he came around. He was, by leaps and bounds, the best player on the board.

I agree. There's no guarantee with RG3 and we kinda hedged our bet. Kirk will be learning from the sidelines as a young rookie and develop more slowly ala Aaron Rogers. It could work out or he could be awful, but he's young and has great potential... The more I think about it... the more I like it...

For the record, and I posted this in the draft thread-

Gil Bryant had Cousins as his 39th ranked player overall. 1 below Brandon Weeden

If we had Cousins similarly ranked, getting a 2nd round QB in the 4th round is incredible value. A move we had to make, and solidifies the most important position on the team long-term

Mayock and a bunch of other draftniks had him rated as a 2nd round to 3rd round pick and compared him with Andy Dalton in terms of his build, smarts and intangibles. The fact that we got him in the 4th round, IMO, is great value. We have some type of insurance in case anything happens to Griffin injury wise, and we also have a guy we could parlay into higher draft picks in the future if he plays well.

I was scratching my head at first blush, but the more I thought about it, the more the move made sense to me.

just read the mind training article on him. pretty cool stuff. iirc RGIII did a study with gatorade to help his nutrition.

the amount of tools these guys have to gain an edge in training is just preposterous.
