lol holy gently caress imagine trading a 2nd round pick (or more) for a 34 year-old Alex Smith while simultaneously tossing away your 29 year-old QB with a higher career passer rating

Isn't Alex Smith just a poor man's Kirk Cousins? Hell they probably could have gotten Super Bowl QB Nick Foles for a 2nd, and he's 4 years younger than Smith.

Sorry to interrupt this discussion about the Redskins' new franchise QB, but I came here to post this somewhat interesting anecdote from The Athletic's weekly Q&A with Joe Banner about drafting Nick Foles:quote:Banks: Your final draft with the Eagles was in 2012, the year they picked Nick Foles in the third round. That day did you think you were taking a guy who could one day start a Super Bowl for Philadelphia?

Alex Smith is pretty good and maybe unlike Cousins he won't make the mistake of rejecting Dan Snyder's drunk advances at the Christmas party

Andy Reid teams have never traded a QB that went on to sustained success on another team, so it's due to work out this time.

Why have a slightly above average 29-year-old QB when you can lose a draft pick and have a slightly above average 34-year-old QB! Dear god.

He's definitely not someone who's so good that you trade away a promising young CB for. Washington hosed themselves with the Cousins thing, and Reid just hosed them some more.

Kinda sad when I woke up this morning and read the thread and the final deal ended up being a 3rd and a player instead of a 2nd. And not even for some inter-divisional rivalry bullshit. Smith would have been the second age 33 (34 during the season) quarterback on an Andy Reid team that was traded to Washington for a 2nd round pick. It would have been perfect.

Before you answer, note that the Redskins were able to trade McNabb for the 6th round pick they used to acquire Alfred Morris. And what did the Eagles end up with that time? quote:When all was said and done and the picks were used and/or traded, the Eagles got safety Nate Allen, linebacker Casey Matthews, linebacker DeMeco Ryans and quarterback Nick Foles in exchange for McNabb.

I don't think it's going to matter. Clearly Reid sees a player on the decline who can be replaced by youth, meanwhile the Redskins are sacrificing that youth in order to get someone milquetoast at best.

CyberPingu posted:Only one of which is still on the team...and only by odd chance Yeah, well that trade was around 8 years ago. Foles, who was drafted a year or two later is 29 years old now. But yeah, I was pointing that out more as an interesting trivia/coincidence thing, not as an argument that the Eagles' current success can be attributed to that trade. Another kind of interesting thing relating to the Joe Banner story above, when the Eagles were scrambling with their QB index cards after Russell Wilson was taken, one of the other names on those cards was surely Kirk Cousins who was the next QB taken after Nick Foles in that draft.

I try to avoid hearing about this team at all and Cousins' contract was loving that up. A boring QB will put them in the cellar and I don't have to worry about them taking up too many night games.

This is a pretty good article breaking down how the Alex Smith trade changes things. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/22271779/winners-losers-alex-smith-trade-kansas-city-chiefs-washington-redskins-2018-nfl-offseason quote:Cousins is about to become the highest-paid player in the history of the NFL, and the numbers are going to be staggering. This kind of opportunity -- the ability to acquire a franchise quarterback in his prime without having to give up a draft pick -- comes around once in a generation. The last guy who really came close was Drew Brees in 2006, and even then he was coming off of a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder (which famously led the Dolphins to pass on Brees, pushing him to the Saints). Peyton Manning was 36 and coming off of multiple neck surgeries in 2012. Cousins isn't a Hall of Famer, but he's healthier than both those guys were. This simply does not happen.

I guess in retrospect, the Redskins should have traded Cousins to the Rams for Sam Bradford.

TheChirurgeon posted:Mike Tanier had a good point today--Washington drafted 2 QBs in 2012, went to the playoffs with both, and in 2018 will be starting neither of them During the Snyder era Washington has had three rookie QBs that started for three or more years. Those QBs are Jason Campbell (45 starts, 2007-2009), Robert Griffin III (35 starts, 2012-2014), and Kirk Cousins (57 starts, 2012-2017). The Redskins put more time and effort into developing Cousins than they have any other quarterback, they started him more than any other QB in the Snyder era, and now he's going to walk.
