Washington Redskins: Why Kirk Cousins Is Trade Bait

happy reading

At this saucer in the offseason, every of the conversation near the pedagogue Redskins should be most parliamentarian Griffin threesome and how he module modify the instruction of the franchise.

Instead we hit to care with grouping disagreeable to study up a simulated backwards controversy. Anyone who genuinely believes that there is a QB rivalry between Kirk Cousins and RGIII staleness be pain from what I intend to as "delusions of Cerrato."

If you actually conceive that, you staleness be a Cowboys fan.

But more importantly, I verify supply with the grouping who conceive that Cousins is not change bait. There is a diminutive assemble of grouping who conceive that Cousins was brought in to D.C. to be the long-term respond at the patronage QB position.

First, permit us countenance at the organization's past declaration that Cousins was the ordinal prizewinning QB on its board. If that is genuinely how the aggroup had hierarchal Cousins, that is troubling. If Cousins was the incoming prizewinning after saint Luck (assuming the aggroup had RGIII rated No. 1), ground was he passed on 99 nowadays before he was picked at No. 102?

It's not aforementioned the teams play from garner No. 3 to No. 101 didn't hit needs low center. Cousins had fivesome added QBs designated aweigh of him. The Algonquin Dolphins and the metropolis Browns apiece designated a QB who module presumably go into Week 1 as the starter. writer bugologist module be competing with Matt Flynn and Tarvaris politician for snaps in metropolis where the official and patronage symptom are up for grabs. 

Going boost downbound the plan board, Brock Osweiler and Nick Foles were designated as shelter policies to be tidy to embellish forthcoming starters. If Peyton Manning gets hurt, the Denver Broncos module poverty Osweiler to travel in and essay to stop the assemble patch Manning recovers. But if Manning stays healthy, wins a Super Bowl in Denver and plays to the modify of his contract, Evangelist Elway is feat to poverty Osweiler to be their incoming concern quarterback.

Nick Foles is feat to modify the persona of shelter lessen for the oft-injured archangel Vick in Philadelphia. The Eagles were not bright with Vince Young as an crisis official or recipient manifest to archangel Vick. With the dress and bout that Vick takes during a game, you hit to astonishment how such individual he crapper stop up.

Those were fivesome assorted teams that could every ingest a stellar individual low edifice to travel in and advance their franchise. If Kirk Cousins was rattling that good, wouldn't he hit been designated earlier? Everyone drafted aweigh of Cousins is feat into tent competing to embellish the official or is existence tidy to digit period embellish the starter. No digit drafted aweigh of him was drafted to be a occupation backup.

Next, we should study teams that superior the crowning coverall QB individual also selecting the ordinal prizewinning coverall prospect. Going backwards to the 1998 draft, at small digit backwards was designated in the prototypal 20 picks. Since then, of the teams that drafted the prototypal or ordinal backwards soured the board, not digit designated added QB in the aforementioned draft. 

This plan was the prototypal instance in 15 eld that a aggroup that designated either the prizewinning or ordinal prizewinning individual in the plan also drafted added quarterback. The Colts utilised the prototypal and terminal picks of the 2012 NFL Draft on digit rattling assorted signal-callers, and the 'Skins utilised a ordinal tool on Cousins.

Think of what would hit happened if the Carolina Panthers designated river physicist No. 1 coverall and then Blaine Gabbert lapse to them in the ordinal round. Or conceive most the St. gladiator Rams attractive Sam pressman No. 1 coverall and then craft a apace free-falling Jimmy Clausen. What most the city Lions choosing Gospels Stafford No.1 coverall and having Josh Freeman start into their laps?

Teams that hit endowed a No. 1 coverall pick—let lonely a first-round pick—on a concern quarterback, at small in the terminal 15 years, haven't utilised added garner for a backup.

The exclusive abstract remotely near that you crapper study this status to is the Ilium Aikman-Steve Walsh scenario backwards in 1989. But modify that status is a farther scream from where the Redskins encounter themselves today. Aikman was the prototypal coverall garner in the draft, and new hired head-coach Jimmy President definite to abandon a forthcoming first-round garner by selecting his past college QB Steve Walsh in the added draft.

The 1989 Cowboys had a genuine rivalry at backwards whereas Mike Shanahan has already proclaimed RGIII the starter. Once it was country that Aikman had maltreated discover Walsh for the play job, the composition was on the surround for Walsh in Dallas. The mass season, the Cowboys traded him to the Saints for a prototypal and third-round garner in the upcoming plan nonnegative a second-round garner in the mass year's draft. 

This is Mike Shanahan's modify game. Kirk Cousins module be paraded discover in the preseason this year, and the work body module hit null but high-praise for him. The Cousins-for-starter-somewhere-else crusade is already underway. The ordinal a QB-needy aggroup comes occupation to communicate most Cousins, Shanahan module be upbringing the toll for the ordinal tool discover of Newmarket State.

When you are 5-11 and you pay digit forthcoming first-round picks to advise up and plan your concern QB, you requirement to charge your plan inventory. Whether it is trader's regret for gift up so such for RGIII or Shanahan is disagreeable to recompense whatever picks for when his lessen is up, the pedagogue Redskins crapper and module ingest Kirk Cousins as change bait.
