Thread: Foles or Cousins?

Which would you rather be under center next year in Denver?

Foles has stronger arm........

Cousins, easy. He is a known commodity who has performed over multiple years. Foles was likely a product of Doug Pedersen's offense.

Foles is gonna be way too damn expensive compared to what he has actually accomplished.

VJ destroys both.


Hire Eagles offensive coordinator as head coach.

Draft Draft Draft please.

I find it highly unlikely we draft a first round QB. I see Barkley or Fitzpatrick going at pick #5.

Honestly, Foles was cold as ice last night. BUT, while I would love to see him here, he's going to cost 3 arms and 4 legs to get to Denver. Let someone else pay the high stock of draft picks for him.

Cousins may not happen either as Adam Schefter is reporting that the Redskins still plan on franchise tagging Cousins despite trading for Alex Smith because they want to force teams to trade for Cousins.

Cousins for that reason.

Exactly. The only chance we have with this staff is to bring in an accomplished QB they hopefully can't ruin.

Then I hope we draft a QB and sign a journeyman. I have no faith in this HC ever being competent so I'm taking the long view of looking past next season. Just let VJ flail in the first 4 or 5 games like he is bound to do then move on in 2019 to a staff with an actual NFL calibur HC at the helm with a talented young QB to build around.

Biggest gamble in history if they do. If no team bites, It will ruin the Redskins as they’ll have 1 QB making 23 mil and the other making 34 mil. They’ll have to completely blow up their roster to get under the cap. At that point, the only team I see being in position for Cousins is Buffalo. They have 2 1st round picks (in the 20’s) and may be willing to pull the trigger. Huge risk for Washington, though.

This is playing chicken with a guy who has called their bluff 2 straight seasons. If they do this, Cousins does NOT have to play along and negotiate a long term deal with whatever team the Redskins want to trade him to. He can just sit back and collect his $34.6m.

And if he won't negotiate a long term deal because he wants to become a FA and choose his own team, then no team will trade with the Redskins, because they would only be acquiring Cousins for 1 season for $34.6m.

So, if any deal gets done, it will be ONLY because Cousins decided to stop fighting with the Redskins and let them trade him to a team he will pre-select and pre-negotiate a deal with. And then that team will have to acquire his rights by trade with the Redskins.

But, right now he has ZERO incentive to do any of that. He can force their hand if he wants to. And they have no power to force him to do anything. So, the price they get for him from some other team cannot be anything like what they are hoping and angling for - a second round pick or higher.

Can you imagine John Elway offering a high round draft pick for Cousins under this scenario? Me either. He might not be willing to offer any kind of pick at all.

Cousins or bust.

Foles has flashed and has talent but has 0 consistency. Pass.

While this is a what have you done for me lately league, let us not forget in 7 regular season games Foles has a 56% completion for a 79 rating.

Would we be getting the super bowl Foles or the Foles that has been a mixture of fantastic and mediocre his entire career? My guess...the latter. Solid back up and bridge starter, nothing more.
