Kirk Cousins = DC version of Andy Dalton
Same **** with a different coat of paint
No one will argue that...but I'll take it.
I'm not quite there...yet. However, Kirk Cousins has ALMOST made a believer out of me. He's got to continue to play well over the final 7 games, but he's going to earn himself an extension from the team. I'm fine with it. We let Kirk go and draft a QB, it's rinse/repeat because you're going to have to wait a good 3-4 years for that drafted QB to make his mark. Final 7 games will be telling. This week vs. the Panthers will be a HUGE test b/c they have a great defense. If the Skins can pull off the upset and Kirk plays well, then I'm that much closer to being fine with him being QB for this team over the next few years.
To me, he is what he is. If he can get the ball out quickly and the run game is working, he can play efficiently and move the offense. He's never going to be the guy that free lances and makes good off schedule plays, or makes other players better. But if he's in a good situation and doesn't have to win the game for you he can get the ball to playmakers.
When he hasn't had a running game or has been put in spots where he tries to do too much, you see him pressing and throwing picks. (Except the Bucs game, but that was the Bucs ).
He's not a franchise QB but he's fine for where we are in our rebuild right now.
Bingo.
We're not going to do much better with a free agent and the draft is a total crapshoot. I'm fine w/ Andy Dalton lite, aka Turnt Cousins, for now.
