Do not get me wrong, I liked Kirk as a QB.
I think he was on the right track to be a good QB.
I like what he offered (mostly because of the complete void of decent QBs in WAS) and was excited to have a capable QB to build a team around.
However….that last statement is key.
“Build a team around” wasnt going to happen at 27+ Million a year.
I was perfectly happy with the reasonable offer the Redskins made to him.

I am not cool with one player holding the team hostage.
Kirk is not the elite piece of the puzzle.
He is a good QB, no doubt.
He is DEFINITELY not Aaron Rodgers.
He is not Drew Brees.
He is not Tom Brady.
He is not even Andrew Luck.

And this guy:
I know…those are 2 years old, but Really?
This guy had 18 turnovers that were solely on him last year.
He regularly cracks in PrimeTime or “clutch” games.
The Redskins needed to win 1 game in 2016 season to make the playoffs. The way was paved for them.
What does Cousins do against a group of 3rd string Giants:

Well he blows the game of course.
Good luck Vikings. I don’t think I am wrong telling you that prepare to buy more alcohol next season.
