This team walks away with the division this year if we kept Cousins.

Not if cousins breaks his leg like all your other QBs have.

Perhaps but far from likely. For starters - as alluded to above - Cousins also could likely have been injured w/ this year's team even w/ his stellar injury track record. Beyond that - I just feel that even if Cousins was more productive that this D would find a way to fuck things up. The offense has had issues but in recent games I put a lot more of the burden on the D - especially since they are relatively injury free.

Above all of this you just can't beat yourself up over what could have been - it is in the past. We just have to hope & pray that they realize that something has to give w/ their current FO and coaching staff even if it means it will take a few years to get it right. Wishful thinking I realize. Oh well - hockey season is in full swing. Go Caps.

I agree its in the past but I truly think he would have willed this team to a divsion win.

Our QB play even with Smith has been atrocious.
Now we are fucked going forward. This team better pick a QB with their 1st pick

The OL is better this season than last and he made it.

With Cousins, without Cousins, With Lombardi, without Lombardi, with this or without that, there's a very bad vibe that comes with this franchise. It's an aura tied directly to mediocrity oftentimes worse.

I think he would have hit the ground running and while he would have needed to develop chemistry with the new WR, he would not have been trying to do that while also adjusting to the playbook and play calling. We might not have walked away with the division, but I also dont think this team would be seriously looking 6-10 in the face. And yes I think its quite possible they dont win another game.

Possible?? I think its quite probable. AP will not last the remainder of the season as we will be running him like a rented mule. What choice do we have? Once he is gone, we got nothing.

This franchise in the last 20 years is where guys go to see their careers die. And that tradition holds true for AS and AP.

no way to know that.

No...but it is a good bet.

 

[skinsdad62]

an extremely good bet

 

[Stymietee]

No...but it is a good bet.

This is our team guys, something unfortunate would have happened even if Kirk was still here. Now while I don't disagree with either of you that it would have been a good bet, extreme or otherwise, the best possible bet is that some other disaster would have engulfed our team.

Not buying

Well look at the facts, two years running, one with Kirk the other without, and in both instances disaster.

And this year's disaster started before it ever got started. Go figure!

cousins puts up numbers and performs. But jsut to play devils advocate. Cousins is like 4-22 against winning teams, thats not a small sample size. He beats up badly on bad competition. Not so good against the better ones.
