Guys he's having a better season than, but I want them over Cousins in 2016:

Bortles

Winston

Mariota

Tannehill

He's roughly equivalent to Ryan Fitzpatrick to me.

There's a debate over on ES, where people are trying to say Cousins is a no doubter top 10 guy not only this year, but going forward. I don't buy it. He's played really well this year, but there's no way he's in any non-Skins fan's top 10 list. Top half of the league? Sure. But not top 10.

I have him somewhere in the 13-20 range. He's an average starting QB in the NFL.

This is not to knock him. He can be wildly successful (and garner a massive contract) by being an average starting QB.

Agreed. Even as an "average" NFL QB, he's been better than I thought he would be this season.

 
Re: Cousins being top 10 or not...

It's an interesting debate bu I don't even know how to wrap my head around it. I sometimes think QBs get too much credit and too much blame. Would Philip Rivers had won multiple Super Bowls if he had been on the Patriots, not Brady? Yet how will both men be judged. I just really hate comparing QBs who are playing on different teams with different circumstances, etc.

Redskins had Brad Johnson as QB and dumped him as not good enough. Then Johnson won a SB with the Bucs.

That said, it may not really be that important to our decision regarding what to do with him moving forward. The question should be, not....is he top 10, but, is he a guy we can build a team around and consistently win with -- and ultimately win a championship with. Maybe not compare him to Brady but instead perhaps someone like Flacco or Brad Johnson. Can he be that competant?

You don't have to be the number 1 rated quarterback to win a championship. That's the question we need to answer with Cousins.

I don't know if we know the answer to that yet but he's shown enough to at least try to take it the next step. I hope they find a way to sign him for a reasonable amount for 2-3 years, which will give them time to see.. If after that time, he looks like a franchise guy, then no one will begrudge him the monster money deal. Right now, he's warranted an average starters contract or if they can't lock him down the Franchise tag. Either way, it looks like we'll have at least one more year to see what he can do....

If you go back and look, I was as down on him as anyone through the preseason and beginning of the regular season. I'm absolutely floored that he seems to have figured it out.

There are a lot of ways to slice and dice opinions of QBs.

And the lists mix them all together.

If you want right now, Romo can't be on the list. Neither can Dalton or Luck. I would say Cousins is outplaying Rodgers and possibly Brees right now. So I am saying he is top 10 right now.

Going forward (building your franchise around), you have to discount older QBs, especially if they have been missing time due to injuries. So I would take Cousins over Brees, Romo, and P. Manning in a heartbeat. Brady and Palmer are both very good, but they are really getting up there in years. The toughest part to judge is where to rank the really young QBs since their value is based on potential, not what they have done. But I would think Cousins is near top 10 in long term prospects as well.

Going forward is not the same as building your franchise around.

My list was taking into account actual NFL expextstions for 2016.

 
E. J. Biggers got snubbed for the Pro Bowl. He'll be pissed and taking it out on Redskin receivers Saturday, if he finds them.

 
Three tight ends — Niles Paul, Logan Paulsen and Derek Carrier — have suffered season-ending injuries since the start of training camp.
Who would have ever believed before the season began that, if you were reading the above statement after week 15, Reed is the one name that WOULDN'T have been on there?

 
Back to the "old guy" topic, the reason I began rooting for the skins was that they were the first team I ever saw play as a kid. It is my earliest memory of the NFL. The helmets the team I was watching wore looked like this:

http://bidami.com/pics/76169_01_lg.jpg

And some guy named Sonny Jurgensen was wearing one while QB'ing the team. It was the mid-60s.

 
The Federal Circuit just ruled in favor of The Slants on their First Amendment argument against Section 2 of the Lanham Act (the "disparaging marks" section). SCOTUS will likely take it up, which will essentially decide the Redskins' trademark case (unless SCOTUS wusses out by finding that "The Slants" isn't a disparaging mark and therefore declines to reach the First Amendment issue).

Can any Skins homers provide info on Matt Jones? Ive gone through the beat writers twitter feeds and I see nothing about him. I noticed he was out second half last week with hip pointer? How serious? What are the expectations for him this week? I need a RB and my opponent in final just dropped him. I have Ivory, Buck, Cmike, Payne, Ajayi......thought maybe Jones would be sufficient in a PPR. But cant find anything on his injury. Thank you....

Believe he is practicing today. As far as production on Saturday night goes? Who knows. The RB situation here has been muddled all season. Could Jones have a good game? Sure. Will he? Who knows.

He's got room to grow.

If the whole league was re-drafted, he isn't a top 10 QB pick. Top 15? Probably.

That's far better than we've had in a while.

Oh I agree. I'd say right now, he's probably somewhere in the top 15 or so QBs. I don't think he's quite top 10 though. Which isn't a slight to him in the least. I don't think any of us thought back in late August we would be talking about Cousins being a potential top 10 QB this season.

 
As an outsider, been blown away by Cousins performance, but personally I cannot put him in the top 10 or in any discussion of the top 10 with his ''Jekyll and Hyde' home v road splits. This is not a knock on him whatsoever. He's been real good, and getting better. That being said, you guys have any thoughts or explanations on his 2015 home/road splits? Is this on the QB, the coaching/playcalling, execution, all of the above? You know, for non-betting purposes... looking at a few lines and parlays for the weekend. :P

2015

Home: 6-2, 75% completion, 16 TD, 2 INT, 8.4 YPA, 117.0 rating

Road: 1-5, 64% completion, 6 TD, 9 INT, 6.4 YPA, 74.6 rating

Career

Home: 9-7, 68.26% completion, 24 TD, 10 INT, 7.97 YPA, 100.7 rating

Road: 2-10, 61.42% completion, 16 TD, 20 INT, 7.01 YPA, 75.8 rating

 
I hate saying things like "Top 10" because it groups the elite with the average. Give the top guys the top tier. Then quibble about where in the middle everyone else is. Such an arbitrary number too. Nice and round and commonly used. Otherwise, worthless. Some years there are 10 great QBs, some years there are 6 or 3.

While I haven't done a comprehensive study of this, I think it's interesting. However, my sense is actually that there are some co-incidental factors involved -- and not just that somehow Cousins can't throw the football outside of Fed Ex field. One thing I wonder about is the Home - Away schedule this year. Consider: Redskins have played 8 home games this year and 6 away games. In comparison, I am going to take out the in division games -- because they have those both home and away -- and just compare the non-divisional games home vs. away.

Home

Miami Dolphins

St. Louis Rams

Tampa Bay Bucs

New Orleans Saints

Buffalo Bills

Away

New York Jets

Atlanta Flacons

New England Patriots

Carolina Panthers

Chicago Bears

When I look at this, one thing that pops out to me is: Patriots, Panthers, and Jets away -- 3 great defenses.

Similarly, you get teams like the Bucs and Saints at home, and even the Bills, whose defense has just looked really bad this year.

I'm not saying home-away doesn't matter. Obviously, home team does have an edge, but I don't think Cousins is that dramatically different. Now against the Giants, the team obviously played better home than away, but I'd be willing to bet that the team will also play better away vs. the Cowboys than they did at home -- but we'll have to wait and see about that.

The other thing with Cousins is that he has evolved this year. He wasn't getting starters reps in the offseason or preseason and he struggled a lot more early. Through the last 8 games, he's had something like 16 TDs vs. 3 INTs. So there is also a problem in looking at Cousins' season long stats because for a guy with so little experience, those early struggles have to be put in somewhat of a context I believe.

I also don't feel Cousins is like a top 10 world beater, by the way...don't think he is this great elite guy that has it figured out. It's entirely possible he goes to Philly and lays an egg. But I think that you just have to watch how you evaluate all these stats as all. The book won't really be clear on Cousins til maybe part through next season I believe...

 
Happy Holidays, fellow Redskins fans! Win, lose or draw against Philly it's been a really great season. What a Christmas gift to at least be able to watch meaningful games over the Holidays, instead of talking about who will be fired and who will be drafted! At least we have hope...

For Philly fans lurking in this thread due to upcoming game, Happy Holidays to you guys too. Just go easy on the old snowballs off of Saint Nick's bean this year, eh? Just kidding guys, Merry Christmas... :D

 
Is this true...Jordan Reed was not selected for the pro bowl?

Tight Ends

Tyler Eifert, Bengals

Rob Gronkowski, Patriots

Travis Kelce, Chiefs

Greg Olsen, Panthers

http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/192952/2016-nfl-pro-bowl-selections

I admit I'm a Redskins homer but that is garbage...and that's nothing against the guys on the list. But Reed is toe to toe with any of them except maybe Gronk...
He is - so is Barnidge and Walker. Tough crowd at TE this year for pro bowl selections - you can make a case for any of about 7-8 guys.

 
This is a fun watch. Kept expecting Kirk do throw in a bunch of goosh darn its and golly gees. Finally saw his run for the first time after knowing it was a blown shovel pass play. Nice awareness on his part to keep it. Bills blew that up. Crazy Cousins was able to pinball into the end zone.
Interesting bit about "keeping the foot on the gas" and staying aggressive. I have noted that the team plays better when they do that as well.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. Makes some sense that there are multiple variables at play. My biggest takeaway here is that Cousins/Washington will have played only 3 out of 16 games against teams that ended up with a winning record this year. All on the road, and all losses. I really hadn't noticed that the schedule was so forgiving (outside of the 3 losses).

Something to think about during extension talks, to be sure. Are we seeing a window into what the QB can be, or is it a very good two months mostly at home against bad teams? Going to cost a big chunk of cap to find out.

For my purposes, thinking I am staying clear of this game in my parlay. :outlook unclear:

Keep in mind regarding record of opponents being weak that's due to the overall craptasticness of the NFC East. As far as parlay bets I always avoid NFC East games they can e so topsy turvy and are typically pretty competitive.

As an afterthought this week will be a good one to judge Cousins on. Philadelphia's secondary is banged up and he should have a pretty good game.

 
This is a fun watch. Kept expecting Kirk do throw in a bunch of goosh darn its and golly gees. Finally saw his run for the first time after knowing it was a blown shovel pass play. Nice awareness on his part to keep it. Bills blew that up. Crazy Cousins was able to pinball into the end zone.

Yep. I like what he said about not wanting to put it all on him early in the season because he was new, but now that's what gives them the best chance.
 
And I see we got our usual one token pro bowler.
Predictably Trent Williams...but no Jordan Reed? :no:
I believe Reed would have made it under the old NFC/AFC voting scheme. Now with there not being conference designations, it's a little bit tougher. I think there's definitely a case for him over Kelce and maybe even Eifert.
Walker had more catches and more yards then Reed and didn't make it. Reed has had an amazing season, but don't think he's even next in line to get in.

Top 15 NFL qb or fantasy qb? He's looking great but no way he's better then 17 starting NFL qbs.

He will be interesting to follow for sure, especially after teams have an offseason to study and game plan him. I believe the past offseason it was still thought RG could be the guy?

As you well know 2 years ago Foles was breaking NFL records. He was more surprise than substance. Merry Christmas boys.

 
Happy Holidays, fellow Redskins fans! Win, lose or draw against Philly it's been a really great season. What a Christmas gift to at least be able to watch meaningful games over the Holidays, instead of talking about who will be fired and who will be drafted! At least we have hope...

For Philly fans lurking in this thread due to upcoming game, Happy Holidays to you guys too. Just go easy on the old snowballs off of Saint Nick's bean this year, eh? Just kidding guys, Merry Christmas... :D
We have no snow to hide batteries in. So we're just going to throw the batteries.

On passes that have traveled 20 yards or longer in the air, Cousins has completed nine-of-14 throws to Jackson -- and eight-of-37 to everyone else.

Since we've been talking about who they might keep at WR and who they might let go, that information is relevant. A player on the field who can regularly move the team 20 yards or more at a pop is a hell of a weapon, both in changing game flow and in opening up underneath parts of the offense. Alfred Morris has run better since Jackson's been back, for example.

 
Gotta be honest, pulling for the Skins. Cannot root for Eagles in any scenario. Just blitz Bradford and you'll be fine.

Good luck...

 
Its quiet in here tonight. I think we will learn alot about our team tonight. I think we will lose as i don't think we are the better team and the eagles seem to be getting in sync. But maybe they surprise me. Who knows. I am very interested in seeing how Kirk handles a high pressure game.

Should hopefully be a good game either way. Cracking a Habenero Sculpin and going to enjoy the show. Or trainwreck. We will see.

 
Jones not playing tonight...hoping Morris can go for 80+ with a TD (or two?)

Go Skins! How can my son be an Iggles fan???
