The Franchise Player
Either sign him or trade him to get something in return. I am about over all this nonsense. I have no control over what the team does, so everyone should make up their mind and let us move on.
Reports suggest that the Redskins have offered $65M gtd and the agent is seeking $95M gtd.
Wide gap - you can do the math.
Twitter is exploding over this one. We'll see what happens. Nine days to go.
$95M? Oh hell nah!!!!!
If true I'm with Ax, greedy ****er can go to the bay area
If Joe Gibbs was here, he'd say Seeya Kirk, because Gibbs would say, "I can win a Super Bowl, with a 4th different QB. Yep, I can win a Suds Bowl."
Guaranteed 95 million? So what! We're not paying him.
I remember discussing the Robert Griffin trade prior to the trade taking place. The constant theme round these parts at the time, was that you pay whatever it takes for a franchise QB...the price then was 3 first round picks and a 2nd.
Now here we sit suggesting we do not pay a franchise QB top dollar, no draft picks...simply like money this time.
Guaranteed 95 million? So what! We're not paying him. Sign the deal and move on. We won't find a better QB in DC in the next 5 years. This guy has shown enough, get him inked...and this is from a guy who questions his melt downs in the 2 key, season ending games over the past 2 years.
We are, with higher hot dog and beer prices !
You zeroed in on the key. Except that griffin wasn't franchise, we didn't know at the time. Point being, you don't bet on the come, pay the guy as if he is franchise quality, then find out it was a waste of money and time. So we get a one year trial period. win win for player and team imho. The league got wise when they stopped with overpaying rookies and put in a rookie cap. Wise then to proceed with caution for captain kirk.
OK, not sure how many games you've attended the last few years, so I wonder how much you've actually paid for a hot dog and a beer, but I get my hot dogs and water free in the dream seats and I don't drink beer. I get your point, but the reality is the market bears any rise in prices, not Kirk's contract. As long as people spend 10 bucks a beer, they will continue to sell $10 beers.
But how much more money are you paying for those dream seats ?
My point was simple economics, and not just hot dogs and beer. As long as salaries keep going up, who is really paying those increases ? We, the fans are. The revenue to pay those salaries comes from fans. And sponsors too. But sponsors only pay because the fans are watching and paying money to watch, so essentially all revenue is derived from the fans.
The only person whose Cousins' opinion I care about is Jay Gruden. Jay dismissed RGIII as franchise guy right off the bat. I still don't know for sure how he feels about Kirk but I see that he is frustrated with him at times. This year he is calling the plays for Kirk, he is designing the offensive scheme for Kirk to excel. He's building his offense on what Kirk brings to the table, and he has worked with him enough to know his strengths. Whether Kirk can live up to that is my question, and how long can Gruden go if Kirk is not living up to jay's standard. Its going to be fun to watch their relationship develop.
You haven't joined any rooms.
