Chris Thompson: Kirk Cousins sent 'mixed messages'

he was just about the money


"I knew it would be hard given that we want to win, but if you pay a guy [$30 million] a year, it's going to sacrifice some other things as well, as far as helping our defense out, maybe getting some more receivers, or running backs and all those type of things. It's kind of hard to say. I think everybody got a different feel about it, but I know Kirk enjoyed being with me and I enjoyed being with him, so I wanted him to be here and I think part of him wanted to be here, but at the end of the day, you gotta do whatever you think is best for you and your family."

Unfortunately it says exactly what Country wants it to say. That Cousins leaving is all his fault. Never mind the 5 years of jerking him around by the FO that made him want to leave...

I agree...but that is how Country wants it to read. That is why he posted it.

Here I got to disagree with you. If they fix the line, Thompson is going to be one of Smiths go to guys for sure. Also one of the reasons I think they will resign Pryor on the cheap. If they twerk the offense to Smiths skillset, and massively improve the defense... this team might actually improve.

but country will still bitch

Here is my call... Country, Dean and a few others will defend Smith as if he were their daughters virtue.

If the team is struggling in any way shape or form, Gruden becomes the next head they would like to see roll.

The collateral damage phase is not quite over yet.

I won’t cry over losing a Gruden TBH. I am just not a fan.

IF losing a Gruden means bringing in the next Zorn... you will be livid Im sure.

You don’t know Zorn is Zorn until he is here. As you very well know, I was a Kyle Shanahan guy. Doug Pederson was considered by some pundits as the worst hire in football.

As you well know, I think Bruce could screw up making a grilled cheese sandwich. So him picking a coach with no adult supervision is probably a bad idea. I think we got lucky Gruden didnt turn out to be a complete flake. This off season should be interesting. And while I think we should be getting one of the NTs in the first round.. .deep down I expect Bruce to take a WR or Edge Rusher. In that order.

I think it will be a very interesting. I expect more high paid FAs and a poor building plan. I fully expect us to make a run at Calvin Ridley who I find very unimpressive. I expect a total fiasco.
