Redskins evidently also desperate

They want Barksdale for Cousins.

No, one sports writer for the Washington Post wants Barksdale for Cousins.

I have doubts Cousins is a starting caliber QB. We know Barksdale is a starting RT, although he's a free agent after this season, Cousins after next.

I'd say no - Cousins isn't good enough to leave the Rams OL in far worse shape. Let the Redskins suffer.

Yes, I understood that since it was a newspaper article and not a press release. I should have been more clear and said "Washington Post's Bernie M is also desperate."

Before Keenum was signed maybe.
After, no.

Seems like a bad trade for the Rams. Cousins would need until the bye to learn the offense at minimum and we'd lose an important starter for a QB who looked pretty bad last year when called into action.

Is Cousins even better than Keenum? Unlike Cousins, Keenum has actually thrown for more TDs than Ints, has a higher YPA, around the same CMP%, and actually had the highest deep ball completion percentage in the league last year according to PFF.

I think I'll take the guy we already have, tyvm.

Considering it's highly unlikely we succeed this year in any meaningful way, if we can get a young experienced starter-level qb in exchange for a journeyman tackle, I'd say do the trade before the Redskins change their minds...

 

[Rams and Gators]

Kirk Cousins the most overrated player in the league.

Is that what Cousins is and is that what Barksdale is? I don't think so on both accounts.

Barks might be our best lineman. Not only is he good, he plays every down.

Three out of five of our lineman have issues staying on the field and the fourth(Dahl) didn't impress week one.

Dahl is still here?

Dear lord I will never understand the Kirk Cousins love on this site. It is like he has a fan club here. That trade would make me vomit.

If you have to ask...

It's not just here, the talking heads love that guy. I don't get it either

I can't see how cousins is better alternative than keenum. Even if it was a toss up in ability, keenum 2 week head start in the system is enough for me.

 

[blue4]

Maybe Cousins and a 3rd or 4th round. Maybe.

That team would be better off trading RGme for a limeman.

Don't know that he is ,and considering what we gave for him and he's a week into learning the playbook unless the coaches are rolling their eyes about his inabilities we aren't about to weaken an oline that's trying to jell for a flavor of the month QB. I completely understand the hype, there hasn't been a terrible drop for Washington when Cousins is in for them because he will stick with the progressions longer and deliver passes when RG has given up and started to run.

I'd trade them this guy

for RGme and a 6th rounder.

EDIT: That's the new NFL approved concussion proof helmet BTW.
