The 5 O’Clock Club: Farewell to Kirk Cousins
If this is so, my only question is why not trade him last season

This is my problem as well from a management perspective. If you were never going to pay him the market value, why didn’t you trade him?
i agreeExactly. Not only did Allen/Snyder fuck off the opportunity to acquire value for Kirk. They let the situation become as such where they had to give up value themselves just to get Kirk's replacement.
How in the fuck anyone sees that as some pimp move by Allen is a fuckin idiot.

If there is a ranking for Front Office I give ours 17
There were certainly some windows there when Kirk could have...should have been traded. However... during the time periods he was under the tag (which was most of the time in the last couple years), he didn’t have to accept a trade from anyone...am I correct in saying that? Dude was very quick to sign the tag every time. Do you not think it is debatable as to whether played us like a fiddle as well??
The FO did what they had to do to acquire an above average starting QB. Take a look at what Cleveland gave up for TT, SF gave up for Grap, and it’s quite obvious to me that Washington did not give up much more for Smith than many other teams would have. Not necessarily a pimp move, but a necessary move if we want to have any chance of staying relevant over the next few years. Anyone that doesn’t realize that is a fucking idiot.
This fanboy article is spot on. It’s what many, not all, folks..media, fans, players have been echoing all along... that Kirk Cousins is not without fault here. Sure, BA and the FO have to take some of the blame too.
Writer also made some great points about what this front office has done wrt FA signings in the last several years. That not everyone in the entire building is stupid. Hey, No one is perfect, but that article shows proof that our FO has been pretty damned good with FA signings and drafting players. Not perfect, but plenty good.
Funny, I don’t see any of the Doom Crew disputing any of those facts. Just still crying about KC being gone...

the error is they didnt HAVE to make the trade . you can sign a FA qb and then draft one . that is the whole point and has been since this went down
i can finish in 3rd place with TB , CK or SB same as smith
and arent we forgetting that the only reason CDC came here was because of 71 mil guaranteed ? none of the teams , including the browns , wanted anything to do with that
Maybe...maybe not Skinsdad we don’t know what any other team may or may not have offered the Chiefs for Alex Smith.
I don’t doubt the Browns or possibly some other suitors (Jets) may have not offered that. They are in a good position to draft one of these young QBs. Washington might be lucky if one of the Top 4 are there when they are on the clock @13. Once again, The FO made the safe play in locking Smith up for the next few years while they draft and develop a QB.
Let’s all see how FA works out and what kinda numbers these QBs get. Keenum already looks to be going to Denver. Bridgewater, Bradford, MCarron... maaaybe Foles. Who else will be left? I think we will come out looking pretty good once all is said and done.
yes we do know what was offered and what was not if you have been keeping up and they have been posted here on occasion
now somebody going somewhere else now has changed since we are out of the market now doesnt it ?
if coming out looking good is 3rd place in the NFC east then i guess we did . my standard isnt that when giving up valuable resources but maybe your standard is that low
and the cap hit that 71 mil guaranteed hurts future acquisitions. add to it since when does giving up a 10 starter and a 3rd round pick make it good on a 2 yr rental ? looks shortsighted to me and again a panic moveI stand corrected. Still, looks like Smith made the choice between us, Cleveland and Denver. Similar capital, longer term deal (as you all stated). A 1-2 year deal vs a 3-4 year deal, not a huge difference as far as we are concerned. We can cut bait with him after 2 or 3
I'd just like to point out that it's important to remember that the redskin suffered from a TON of injuries last year - more than average - and that counting them to be in 3rd place because of last year's record is short sighted.
Here's one list, from November, just to refresh everybody's memory:
Redskins' injured reserve list contains impactful players
For those keeping score at home, that's:
the starting rb
the starting 3rd down rb
the #1 wr
the #1 DT
the starting MLB
the #1 backup MLB
the starting center
the starting K
the starting OLB
the #1 DT backup
the starting FS
the #1 backup 3rd down rb
