Maybe we should just keep losing now this season in order to try and get a higher draft pick to nab a QB.
Maybe we should just keep losing now this season in order to try and get a higher draft pick to nab a QB.Pryor was drafted as a QB and moved to WR after a few years of very little action so he can throw the ball, we wont see him starting under centre for Washington.
The 2018 draft class looks littered with QB options Sam Darnold, Mason Rudolph, Baker Mayfield & Lamar Jackson all stand outs and expected to go early.
Unfortunately there are a lot of teams going to be in the market for a QB next year, Pittsburgh, Giants, Saints and the Chargers will all feel their QB is on his way out in the next couple of years, Jags seem to be out on Bortles and Miami will be in the market also.
There are two or three really nice RBs coming out aswell, I think we will eventually settle on cousins and pick up one of those, look for a WR or two in FA and maybe take a QB further down the draft.
It all comes down to wether you believe Kirk is up to it or you want to put the effort in to go out and get a QB. If it was me I'd be trading like crazy like the Rams did last season to get one of the top picks then stick with the guy for a few years no matter what. Quarterback is the most important player on the pitch and we can't be umming and ahhing about if he's good enough, if he wa the debate wouldn't be there.We do seriously need to sort out the QB situation. Found an article (albeit from 2015) which states that Washington have had 16 starting QB's in 16 years.
You look at the stability of other teams, Flacco, Roethlisberger, Eli Manning, Brady, Rivers, Russell Wilson, Rodgers, Brees. All except Rivers, Superbowl winners and all with longevity at their teams.
I don't think Cousins is a bad QB by a long chalk, but I do debate as to whether he is a true winner or not. For the most part he is steady and reliable, but I don't think he puts any fear into defences' hearts and minds and I am sure defences' would rather go up against a Cousins rather than a Wendtz, or Rodgers, or Newton, or Wilson.It all comes down to wether you believe Kirk is up to it or you want to put the effort in to go out and get a QB.

Goff is 23, Wentz 24. Those 2 top picks from last year mean the Rams and Eagles have no need to find a QB for a decade at least. Kirk is 29, will be 30 before next season starts, even if we do spend the big money on him we'll be looking again in a few years so we may as well go through the pain of developing someone now.
Just getting by with decent players each year, especially older ones on big money, is no way to build a Super Bowl winning team.
I agree with you. If I weren't a Redskins fan I'd probably be asking what is wrong with us, some team would kill for a QB like Kirk (hi Browns) but when its your team you want them to develop into winners and I don't see us going too far with him. He would never drive the team on to win game single handedly like the ones you've mentioned.I don't think Cousins is a bad QB by a long chalk, but I do debate as to whether he is a true winner or not.

I just think all those above players you can have sacked and yet they somehow slip through your fingers and make the pass. When Cousins is 'sacked' he stays sacked.I agree with you.

Who wouldn'tThing with cousins tho if you gave him bell, beckham and brown would he knock up same numbers as the top QBs in the nfl and had a different coach

Yeah, they were defensively strong last season, but entirely four.had a feeling the bills would fuck up against the jets.
now watson out for the season torn acl texans screwed only shining light they had this season
Broncos @ Eagles - I'm going Denver in this one, Eagles can't win forever plus Broncos owe us after losing to the Giants.
Rams @ Giants - I think this will be tighter than expected, still Rams to shade it.
Cheifs @ Cowboys - Cowboys now that Zeke's got his ban suspended again.
Redskins @ Seahawks - Seahawks are going to smash us, it makes it worse that the smug Australian git I work with is a hawks fan and will not shut up about it.
All you've done there is pick the team with the best record to win in each game. This season is nothing if not outside of the box.Just entering the thread for the first time this year, and agree with the Seahawks and Rams prediction, but cant see the Eagles slipping up as they are playing with such confidence especially Wentz, and think the Chiefs will beat the Cowboys. Cowboys are too hit and miss at the moment and Zeke is too unpredictable, I just think the Chiefs will have too much.
Obviously when I am completely wrong I will leave the thread with my tail between my legs, knowing my rational was completely flawed (shite)

Someone needs to get right in his face.177 yards and 3 TDs in one half for Wentz.
I feel like he'ill struggle once the playoffs come but he's still a very good shout for MVP at this stage.Someone needs to get right in his face.
His protection is very good and he does move well in the pocket, but I think teams need to all out blitz him more. Give him time and he just picks his spot and fires it in.
Yeah, just behind Cousins.I feel like he'ill struggle once the playoffs come but he's still a very good shout for MVP at this stage.
My cousins moaning will most likely begin in just under an hourYeah, just behind Cousins.
They have changed their offensive coach haven't they? Sure I heard that they changed the coach and instead of him sticking to what was clearly working, he brought his own schemes in and they have failed to gel.What is going on with Atlanta this year, absolutely shocking. Don’t believe in the Super Bowl hangover thing, they are just playing so damn bad!
Have they met anyone good yet though? Redskins were poor against them and so too the Giants, who are poor anyway. Arizona, Miami and San Francisco were also poor.Philly about to go 8 -1
looking very strong
Yeah Shanahan left to HC the 49ers, and we are missing his scheming. Sarkisian has come in with college ball plays which don’t seem to be working. However their overall attitude just seems to stink, they aren’t fighting for each other like last year. Once they lose momentum they just fall apart.They have changed their offensive coach haven't they?

Doesn’t help when officiating is so poor! They have missed soo many calls today on both sides.Yeah, does seem to be the case. They were made of sterner stuff last season.
Glad to see you're hyped to see some Russell Wilson!Go Skins. Best QB in the league is gonna shine tonight.
I've got my stream on the tv and my Chinese replica jersey, tonight is the night.
