>>>Interesting you would say that Synder is a “football guy”. I saw no evidence of that when I lived in NoVa. Another rich guy with a “shiny new toy” is all I saw.>>>

Well, I guess I’m just comparing him to Ziggy Wilf. I don’t know much about Snyder except he chose not to pay Cousins 84 million like the Vikings did. So at least he knows more then the Wilf fool.

The funny part with the whole Cousins- Redskins situation is the Skins didn’t have to pay him that much. Cousins wanted a long term deal, he didn’t really want big fat cash, he wanted 5 years with a lot of it guaranteed. Skins wouldn’t give it to him, so they franchise tagged him, which means giving him big fat cash for 1 season. After that they STILL wouldn’t give him the long term deal (again, per year he wasn’t looking for much) so they tagged him AGAIN, and if you tag a player 2 years in a row you have to pay him even MORE. Then after that they they still wouldn’t give him the long term deal, so they let him walk. The reality is that in those two tag years they paid Cousins almost as much as he wanted over 5 seasons, and as mediocre as he is they haven’t found anybody nearly as good since.

So really nobody has done a good job with Cousins.
