That's a sucker's choice argument DP. The choices aren't limited to 'Pay him whatever it takes to get a LTD' or 'He should take whatever the benevolent team offers'.
I love Kirk and want him to be the QB. But you can also argue he hasn't shown he can win the big game. He totally flopped in a home playoff game against an imminently beatable Packers team. He was unable to step up against several below average teams late last year and at least helped ensure we would not be a playoff participant.
Again - I'm fine with whatever decision he made. But don't go on record with Joe Theissmann and a hundred other media folks telling us all how badly you want to be here, then refuse to even negotiate in good faith with the team who gave you your opportunity and made you a rich man. Sack up and admit you either don't want to be here, or that you want the max deal you can get regardless of whether it's with the Skins or somewhere else.
The Skins Front Office aren't the only players here, so lets stop pretending that's the case.
Bottom line - I'm not going to argue with fellow fans about it. Sad thing is, we're really the only ones who truly care and end up getting butt-****ed year after year. The Redskins will get richer, Kirk Cousins will get richer, and Skins fans will suffer through another 8 QBs and 5 coaches and maybe get a playoff game once every decade or so to keep us hopeful.
