If you’ve been “scouting these drafts since 1979″, then I can safely assume that you’re in your 40′s, at least, and yet, you gave the grammar of a twittering 15 year old, or Jim Irsay. How about you scount an English class for a few years.

When teams line up and come asking for Cousins, we will see. I don’t see the big deal. The Skins have no need for starters other than at QB. They filled their O-line depth needs and ILB depth needs and CB depth needs. They could afford this to ensure a quality backup. They’ve drafted 21 players in the last two drafts. Losing two future picks in 2013 and 2014 is nothing. Shanahan has shown he knows how to trade back and accumulate picks. I would not be surprised if the Skins have 8 or 9 more picks next year. They already have New England’s 5th rounder next year.

KC will have plenty practice time late in the 4th quarter when the
Redskins are up 4 td’s.

@ kir an ckl. exibitsman has the right to express his views I call it as I see it . I guarantee that RG3 is sitting on the bench in his second season and out of the league by his 5 th year it happens all the time with athletic QBs there body’s can’t take the pounding that’s my veiw on it. I have been scouting these drafts since 1979. 32years experience .

I’m surprised Cousins lasted til the 4th round. This kid is as good as any QB in the draft. I know no one will agree with me, but people might discover this in 4 seasons.

I saw Michigan State’s bowl game and Cousin’s 2nd half performance and was amazed and not how he just how he kept driving down for scores, but I was amazed at his poise, strength, and accuracy when he threw the ball. Furthermore, he doesn’t seem to have a nervous bone in his body.

I think the scouts got it wrong on him. It’s a shame he will have to back up RG3.

Smart move. RGIII has bust written all over him. They need a backup plan, and this is just being proactive.

By: discosucs2005

discosucs2005 — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 19:55:20 +0000

This makes no sense on any level.

Why put any pressure on your rookie QB?
Why waste a pick on a guy who, in your best case scenario, will be a lifetime backup?

I don’t think it’s one of those “well if RG doesn’t pan out…” any more than it’s a self fulfilling prophecy.

Only Shannahan can f*ck this up. Every other NFL coach would have a solid citizen type backup for RJ to lean on. Shannahan loves to play his mind games. I hate the guy.

What will Skin fans do if Griffin shows up looking like Heath Shuler and Cousins becomes the next Gus Frerotte?

Just saying Skin fans, Shuler was a “can’t miss” boom or bust type of player coming out, too. Actually, he had a lot more of a track record from Tennessee to think he’d succeed.

Dumb move unless it’s just for trade bait. A second pick (trading way multiple picks) and then take another QB at 102. They have many other needs. They’re going to pay RG3 $20 million to set behind a fourth rounder makes NO sense.

No reason whatsoever for Dilfer to revise prediction.

If Cousins develops the way Dilfer thinks he will, and Griffin is as good as expected, the Skins will flip Cousins to some QB needy team in two years for a second round pick.

Couldn’t have drafted two different types of QBs. If Cousins has to go in, do they install a new offense? Odd.

chocopoppy — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 19:07:39 +0000

Fools. Unless you are coming off a Super Bowl and have a perfect roster, your team has NO business spening a 4th on another QB unless his name is Manning. What is Shanahan thinking?

By: arnoldziffel

arnoldziffel — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 19:02:49 +0000

Really? … Another quarterback?

After giving up a ton of draft choices to move up to the second spot to grab RGIII?

They won’t have a full compliment of draft choices for at least two more years – and they waste one on a clipboard holder? What is the logic in this?

And I’m sure Cousins is elated to begin his pro career as a designated career backup.

This makes no sense.

They should not allow liquor in the Redskins draft room.

The only positive I can think of from past history is Aikman and Walsh. Jimmy J didn’t. care about entitlement to #1 pick Aikman. A year later, the Saints jumped in with, I think, a 1 and 3 for Walsh. Hopefully, this works out as well. Griffin will have the needed sense of urgency and lose the celebrity status pretty quickly if he had it.

Typical dick move by Shanahan. He just couldn’t help himself. Now that he’s made his mark by screwing the Redskins for the next decade, maybe he’ll get the hell out of the league for good.

Beck and Grossman should be bagging groceries at the Publix.

They don’t have Publix supermarkets in the DC area.

Now sign McNabb as your 3rd string QB and the skins will be all set for years to come.

show him off for 2 years and when somebody gets hurt and a team needs a qb you trade him for a 2. skins are doing what the eagles like to do

Even the rat knows that RGLeaf will get hurt, and hurt often in this league. But the skins needs so many more positions filled before drafting another QB, even at Best Player Available. What happens on the next pick if the Best Player Available is another QB?

Lot of knee-jerk reactions here. This could work out very well as trade bait down the road for the skins… and provide an insurance policy if RG3 is injured. Either way, it is way better than having Grossman and Beck as the only options at backup QB… can’t argue with that.
