What are your thoughts on Alex Smith being traded?
Skins are dumb. The cb the chiefs got was a big need. Washington is a dumpster fire
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED it's great for KC... lol
They just reported that Denver tried to trade a 2nd and Taleb. I guess Elway knows what Gruden knows about Smith.
Skins are smart for this trade they got the same Qb they already had just for cheaper
Elite_ P Cousins wasn't going to sign a deal with Washington! They had to make this deal.
But here’s the thaaaang skiiiiiup
Skeieeepepe
😂😂🤣🤣
LeGod Larriors Destroyer and
My grandma all ways said Sean lee was great but here is the thang skip u can't do that to do man I know his great
Charles Ward- Shay’s frequent lines 😂. There’s also “Stop it Skiuup” and “don’t wooorry about that Skiuup”
Football is Shannon's world. I think Skip has a point that Alex Smith has done well the past few years and isn't given enough credit by a lot of people, but Sharpe is right. When Smith has done well, he's had a good amount of talent around him
Joseph Rogers We can say the same about Cousins. When we had Jackson and Garçon our offense was putting up decent numbers.
If it was all about the QB being great an no other assets, Dan Marino would have won tons of Super Bowls. It takes the team, and complimentary players to get to the SB and win it.
Brian Agnew you saying that because kc had a defense. Redskins never did. Cousins never had a running game
donnell brown Alfred Morris? Chris Thompson?
Gram man none of them got over 1k yard with him as the qb. Morris last year only had 700 yards the other guy is a bum. An never got over 500 yards. His whole career he has 800. That is bad. So like I said he never had a elite r good running back. An remember Morris yards has been going done every year since his rookie year
Joy wasn't there today because I forgot to drop her off at work this morning. But don't worry, she'll be back tomorrow.
Lol
777 Nah, She said they don't reach far enough
joy is getting derailed by an old black dude.
777 i used to think that too, but her bf is black
Hale Yeah she goes out with earl Watson former head coach for the Phoenix suns
They were both right. Alex was a lateral move and Kirk is an under achiever
What they totally overlooked was the QB KC kept They barely mentioned him
Kc got the best QB of this deal
Alex, thank you for your time in KC. It’s Patrick time.
Brees does have a fantastic running game.
thats exactly what I thought at first..but maybe hes talking about previous years/seasons
ttime 513 yea makes sense. I was like ummmm two pro bowl running backs. On the same team. But previous years it was only Reggie bush it seems.
+John Schow lol yeah and bush was nowhere near the usc bush AT ALL when he came into the league
Then you gotta think about the years when they didn't have bush or Ingram and kamara
Ever since they let Sproles go, they've had a void in their game plan. Kamara finally filled that role.
Joy stayed at Sean lee house last night his greatness made her take the day off
Charles Ward She banging Stormy Daniels 😂😂😂😂
Skips right about Kirk he’s not the guy. But neither is Alex smith
Idk man Kirk is good but Washington doesn’t have the talent around to help him! Alex gunna struggle with that receiving core.. Kirk to Denver would be interesting bro
Joey Morini I turns out that RG3 was a cornball brother after all.
Alex Morin or Cleveland
Alex Morin man we had him from 2012 , we had desean jackson, garcon, and jordn Reid. Went 8-8 with only 1 playoff appearance cause rg3 had one in 2012 kirk run was 2015. Plus we have trent Williams and got brandon in the draft to help the o line. Passing over 4k each year . Sorry not sorry he just ain't get it done
Joey Morini Alex Smith is the guy he haven't thrown double ints ever since 2010.
Alex smith is one of the most underrated qbs in the league straight up
Chad supernugget Hogue naH
Facts!
he's trash
+J Garcia He's far from that.
UnexpectedWonder name a play off game he’s won. I’ll wait
It's a bad move for Washington.. It's not cause they got Alex Smith (I think they overpaid him) but it's what they gave up. Kendall Fuller was their second best DB and the best slot DB in the NFL tbh. So you gave him up and a 3rd round pick for just a semi-upgrade at QB. I think Kirk Cousins is going to Denver and maybe just maybe go to the Superbowl
Honestly... idk if they’re bad at negotiating or they’re just crazy. The Chiefs didn’t want Smith. I bet they would’ve taken just a second round pick
And I honestly think you could have got a 4th or 5th round pick for him and not have away Fuller. But hey as a cowboys fan that's a good move purge your defense
He got what the market says he deserves.
But what has Kirk done to say he deserves that type of money.. You can fill the stats all you want but when it comes to it, playoff wins and appearances and a superbowl is what matters.. But to each its own
you need a team to get playoffs wins
I didn’t want to go... why did you do me dirty Bruce
Kendall Fuller you’ll be missed Kendall. Sad to see you go.
Kendall Fuller lol
Kendall Fuller YOU WILL BE MISSED
HTTR
On a more serious note i cant wait to get to Kansas City! Im excited to be a Chief!!
What’s your bro Kyles number??
In 2012 the Chiefs went 2-14. Then they acquired Alex Smith and went 11-5. He turned my team around and sent them in the right direction. Thanks for stopping by. I think WAS is hoping to get results like that.
This aged so poorly 😂
@@TDR-0484 I mean his first year we were 6-2 before he broke his leg so he was well on his way 😂
he said drew brees didn't have a strong running game? im gonna assume he meant previous years/seasons..?
ttime 513 yes
ttime 513 it's not like his backs had 3000 yards or anything
+A Man exactly
Yes, previous years before Kamara and Ingram's better days. He was still throwing for 4000s
Duh
Alex is better than Cousins.
Alex is moble... he has more pocket presence and escape ability.
Marcus Witt are you confusing the NFL with College?? Smith can't throw 40 times in a game. He is inaccurate. Cousins has thrown 3/4 4000 yard seasons! That's one of the best averages in the league! If you think Cousins did it because he had good weapons, well then this last season proved that that is not true.
Marcus Witt and cousins isn't afraid to be mobile either.
Cousins is mobile, have you watched any tape? NO? Oh man, I'm so surprised....
Zach Geiser Cousins is the fumble master. Go ahead and let him run in the Twin City. See what happens lol.
Shannon bodied Skip on this one.
MicDubTV he always does
SBelle84 facts
Shannon talking nonsense, 1st he said Drew Brees doesn't have a running back, he has Alvin Kamara, and Mark Ingram, not to mention, he had Reggie Bush his Superbowl season and Reggie had a very good season that year. Running backs help, but they don't define qbs, Alex is better than Kirk, it's close, but Alex is better.
that.guy.jsnake the one runningbacks point was off, but I don't think Alex is better than Kirk. Kirk has done more with less. Even the defense around Kirk is terrible too. 28th, 28th again, and 20th the last three seasons.
Romain Defense has something to do with team record, but nothing to do with qb play. But qbr matters, completion percentage matters, and td/int ratio matters. All three Alex Smith has.
Dan Snyder overpayed for an over the hill aging player? Say it isn't so!
I can't believe it! Isn't that a great way to run a team?! I mean, only if he's done it before! Because this is a genius move!
*I'm being sarcastic btw*
IDK Alex Smith did have a prime jamal Charles, prime gore and then hunt! I'm a eagles fan, but I know cousins is a better qb by miles than Alex Smith
YoDa Black Facts Alex Smith has had better weapons than Cousins
Ryan M that's my point.
Drake Budasz coming from a hater. Lol Redskins winning with no WRs???? Good luck! #FlyEaglesFly
I agree he had more throwing yards and all that with a much worse receiving core
Naw jamall charles was in his prime under matt cassell
Alex Smith is and has been underrated in my opinion
bkameka69 he is not great and hebhos not bad he is just slightly above the middle tier QBs
jason goodwin I can agree with that
Watch his 4th quaters , you'll see why no one takes him serious
jason goodwin yeah slightly above middle tier qbs but has the best passer rating. You right.
Andrew White passer rating is overrated
Kansas City made the playoffs right? Did Washington? Have they recently? Why pay cousins 100m to not make the playoffs? I'd rather have Smith than Cousins
Bryan Bellamy FACTS
Bryan Bellamy that's what happens when you have kareem hunt and tyreek hill..
@@dereklawless9915 and let's be real now. Kirk blows
@@dakotadeal8970 because Alex had tyreek and Kareem his whole career
Looks like Alex is in that group.
One of the best back and forths you guys have done. Insightful!
No one has a worse run game than Matthew Stafford
Johnny Perlitz facts and the man is still a stud
Facts and the Lions should have been in the playoffs they were robbed vs the Falcons early in the season
No Joy = No Like
Nikelas Williamson- Joy has gastroenteritis (from what Skip revealed on the show). Probably watchin the show from the🚽 as she probably has vomiting 🤮 and/or diarrhea. Not fun. Hope she gets well soon.
She traded for Molly
Lol Matt Stafford hasn’t had an 100 yard rusher in years and he still puts up monstrous numbers
Alex Zoltowski How many signature wins does he have.
The last four games of the 2016 season Stafford lost to the Giants, Cowboys, Packers & Seattle...to go from 9-4 to 9-8.
Shaaya Ellis you’re missing the point. Without him the team goes 4-12
Shaaya Ellis take Dak Prescott last year or Blake Bortles this year, Blake Bortles has a playoff win because he has the best running game in all of football and all the pressure isn’t on him to only throw the football like it was before Fournette came (same thing for Zeke and the cowboys). Now you look at Stafford who has ZERO running game and a below average offensive line and incompetent coaching and was still winning games
I thought the trade was crazy. WOW
Alex Smith on the jags would have been scary
Zach Spuds and scarier if they get cousins
A Man I hope they get Lamar
Jose Galvan if jags get Lamar it’s a dynasty in the making
Kirk Cousins on the Jags would be scary
LeGod Larriors Destroyer Lamar jackson isn't good. If you've ever seen him play, his accuracy isn't good, his arm is weak, and he only runs the ball. He's a running back.
Alex Smith had way more success in his career than Kirk Cousins.
But here's the thang skiiiuuuuppp
We get it
He says skiuu
People needed.to move
TheIndoSmith But skiiiuuuppp , skiiiuuppp , , Skiiuuupp you not looking at the bigger picture Skiiuupp.😂😂😂😂😂
The only bad move Washington made was giving up their 2nd best DB Kendall Fuller. Dude is just 22 yrs old playing next to a 29-30 yr old Josh Norman. Breeland is a free agent. Dunbar is a free agent. Moreau is still raw. Chiefs finessed the 'Skins.
As a redskins fan what Skip said a 7:01- 7:53 was spot on
I know I just said what Skip said was spot on
Alex Smith to me is a bigger upgrade from Cousins but hey i don't know how redskins fans feel about it we will just have to see how he does with them next season i hope he gives redskins fans something to be happy about just like he did in KC
I love the chiefs and Alex Smith but the redskins to me are stupid cousins is much younger and he has put up better numbers plus they gave up one of their best corners
Thomars Carter Smith is not that guy to take you to the superbowl
Vault Entertainment Corp true
But it is evident that neither side was overwhelmed with each other, so better to divorce and move on.
Thomars Carter he ain’t a upgrade lol. Smith had the best te in the nfl. An one of the top running backs. Cousins never had none of them
Stop looking at Kirk stats. Most if those yards came in garbage time when they're down two scores with under a minute left.
Drizzy Dre right these fools only talk about his stats
If that was tru then that means they would had lost more then half of there games
Exactly. Empty stats from a QB everyone knows will only go 8-8. I just don't understand why ppl like Kirk so much. He throws a pick or fumbles in every crucial game. That 9-7 playoff season was fool's gold. Great stats don't equal wins
Carl McPherson lol a lot of qbs does that. But was he giving a winning team no. Is his coach great no. So what are you talking about
Drizzy Dre Thank u finally someone actually watch the redskins games
I’m a Dallas fan and I disagree with skip. Kirk cousins is more threatening than Alex Smith. Come on skiiiiiip 😂
How do it feel to have Sean lee on ur team cowboy fan I have tb12 on my so happy end u have the great Sean lee on urs that man is great even Shannons grandad knows that that Sean lee could he be the billy goat if bill end tom are the goat
Charles Ward you good bro ?
Matthew Ward Agreed didn't the boys just beat kc 28-17? Washington doesn't even have the same talent as kc.
Kirk and Alex ain't beating nobody, your boy Dak ain't winning either. Eli and Wentz is who y'all better start trembling over
Alex is better than dak tho lol
2012 chiefs : 2-14
2013 chiefs: 11-5
Difference??? ALEX SMITH WAS TRADED I rest my case
True but Andy Reid probably had something to do with that also
Shannon was right lol
Older QBs pick up systems way faster and are more efficient
UB cousins is a vet now. Almost 30. He is younger, and has played better then Smith on a far worse team.
Zach Geiser Cousins can’t win big games Alex can that’s where it all lies down. Alex beat cousins this last season. Alex beat Patriots and Eagles this last season.
Joshua Spano Football is a team sport, if you think Cousins is at fault for losing big games, you don't understand that Smith had a talented offense, and good coaching staff (and the Chiefs chocked against a team that shouldn't have made it to the playoffs) Cousins had one of the worst supporting cast around him, no talent, horrible play calling and coaching... Mark my words... Smith won't be a starter in Washington in 2 years. Cousins will be a starter.
UB. They retire and get hurt faster too.
What about Tom Brady and Payton manning drew Breeze Phillip rivers Alex smith
lmao he said what did i keep telling you? i need five more years of kirk cousins, i need 10 more games against kirk cousin. Dallas was getting free wins
People talk like Alex Smith is a bust. He’s not going to anyone’s hall of Fame but he’s a solid starting QB
I think the folly of this deal is the Kendall Fuller trade. Alex Smith and Kirk Cousins have similar production and the change may not be that noticeable (only time will tell). But Kendall Fuller was up and coming in Washington's defense. We might have just lost some nice depth.
Alex Smith had frank gore, jamaal Charles, and Kareem hunt. Who Kirk cousins have at running back
Jamari Riddick yup. In their prime.
Jamari Riddick Alfred Morris?
Kirk got garcon, jackson, crowder and reed
Alex best WR was crabtree
Even in KC his only "weapon" was dwayne bowe and kelce
He has a pro bowl RB now and it still trash.
Yeah, & his W/L record reflects that. It’s not like he failed w/ them.
Comparing pro bowls between the two doesn't make a lotta sense to me. The NFC is way more loaded.
AFC QBs with pro-bowl talent:
1. Tom Brady
2. Ben Roethlisberger
3. Philip Rivers
4. Derek Carr and MAYBE Andrew Luck, Deshaun Watson, or Marcus Mariota in a full season.
NFC QBs with pro-bowl talent:
1. Drew Brees
2. Aaron Rodgers
3. Drew Brees
4. Matt Ryan
5. Cam Newton
6: Russell Wilson
7. Matt Stafford
8. MAYBE (because we haven't seen more than a full good season) Carson Wentz, Jared Goff, and Jimmy Garoppolo
If Cousins goes to the Broncos or another AFC team, I'm sure he's more likely to be in the 2019 Pro Bowl than Alex Smith.
Charmer Pratt Maybe Andrew Luck? He wins at least 10 games when he is fully healthy with no defense and running game.
Charmer Pratt drew brees twice???
Question: can the Skins transition Cousins with no intention of matching the other teams offer just so they will receive compensation a draft pick from the team who signs him??? it would be messed up but pretty sure that's how it would work if the Skins still go ahead and transition tag Cousins they should get a draft pick from the team who ends up signing him if they dont match the offer given to Cousins...
Shannon dropping knowledge and truth on Skippy as always.
Trading away alex smith is so dumb. Who is this mahomes kid anyways? I highly doubt a big 12 quarterback can have ANY success in the NFL!
Lmaooooooooooo
And without joy is was odd af.. Cari champion should've stepped in.
Jay Lee How? She works for an entirely different company.
and when's the last time kirk cousins had a 70 yard rush
I like Shannon but I don't like Skip.
Let's go Pat Mahomes
Cole S Mahomes Era Has Begun!!!!!!!!!!
I’m all aboard the Mahomes canoe
If it tips, then you will too
Do you love Mahomes like I do?
All aboard the Mahomes canoe!
Patrick could soar, Patrick could fall
Patrick could wind up in Canton Hall
But give him your faith, it’s the least we could do
For the captain of the Mahomes canoe
mibs56 this aged nicely 😂
@@HealwaysRemembers. I think Mahomes is playing fairly well
Cole S fairly?? 😂
This is a great trade by the Redskins. Kirk cousins always throws bad int in the 4th quarter. Then Alex Smith have been the most consist quarterback in the league Alex Smith have thrown a double digit ints since 2010. Man I'm excited for next year but boy the Redskins should not have traded Kendall Fuller he was becoming a great cornerback for the Redskins but now he got an opportunity to play against really good wide receivers now in KC but Alex Smith fits our offense scheme. He an underrated runner and he's very smart with the football Kirk be throwing stupid passes at the bad time. What a trade for the Redskins!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean haven't
Snyder saves money. That's all he cares about
Adrian Hill I don't know about you, but I would prefer a QB that always threw for 4000 yards in a season and threw a pick in the 4th quarter every game rather then a QB who is afraid to throw 10+ yards down field unless it's Tyreek Hill. The Redskins are shooting themselves in the foot......
In other words grass is green.
I'm a Browns fan. They are both pretty good lol.
I think it’s a lateral move and was made because Washington didn’t think cousins was the guy, so they didn’t want to pay him long-term. With Alex Smith, you’ll get similar stats, but with a built-in excuse to look towards the future and eventually draft another qb.
You know what is the worst part about this trade? We traded away the 7th best corner of last season, as well as a 3rd round. Dumbest trade I've seen in a bit
The show just feels empty without Joy. She is like the cherry on a cake and the cake itself.
Turns out it was Alex that got the short end of that stick.
Drew brees don't have a running back game to help? He has one of the best back duos there is.
The disrespect of kendall fuller
He's going to a better place.RIP
@@GL-ys8je now he backkkkkk
Daniel Snyder is the problem
4 years age difference is alot in sports. Reminds me of P.K. Subban Shea Subban trade in the NHL. I've always been a huge Shea Weber trade but the Preds won getting a 4 year younger Subban. If Cousins signs with Denver this will be interesting.
I have a fairly fresh cadillac that has issues(some major) but they can be fixed. However I don’t wanna go to the mechanic to fix it so i buy another cheaper cadillac. This cadillac works much better for the most part but since its old idk how much longer its gonna maintain its condition. That is basically the kirk cousins alex smith trade in a nutshell.
Looking back on this is funny. Shannon's like yah but Alex smith is throwing to hill and kelce. Let's now use that logic on home boy
Home boy actually made the team so much better and elevates the talent around him. Plus he lost Hill and is still back in the Super Bowl.
Gore was balling when Alex Smith was bad. What are you talking about Shannon?
Brandon Purdy he also had Davis and Crabtree
When Skip says he fears somebody, he really means he dont fear them and hes glad the guy isnt a threat to his favorite team
People keep saying redskins had no weapons.Thompson an explosive catching RBJordan reed a top ten TE when healthy Crowder is a top slot receiver Pryor was a 1000 yard WR last yearDoctson a former first round pick And we also have Vernon Davis
Soooo I'm confused ?those players are talented . We have had our former GM and headcoach call out cousins . Smith had hill kelce and hunt that is all
And all the other years Charles was injured . Again stop it they both played on a different system . Kirk had a pass happy offense and smith had an conservative offense .
Alex Smith going take the redskins to the playoffs something kirk cousins couldn't do
Lor Dj 2015 bud
Lor Dj he will mark my words Alex took a 2-14 Chiefs team to the playoffs. Alex can use whatever he has around him. I am Chiefs fan been watching Alex last 4 years he can do some amazing things.
Joshua Spano that 2-14 team got so many good players during free agent and the draft
ybk lamar he did win
Quit hating Alex, Shannon
Alex played great this year
And has ever improved each year since the harbaugh era
Improvement? He is not a rookie. He hasn't done anything since the NFC championship. Hasn't done anything in KC. Average smith
Erik Martinez hes 34 and they offer him 75million guaranteed wow..
mike richards
Hate the Chefs and that fanbase, but it’s stupid to disagree that Smith has been solid at his time at KC, and played at MVP - caliber level last season.
The guy threw a grand total of 5 picks in the entire season.
Smith > Cousins at this point, but Cousins will get much better in the next 3-4 seasons.
the lie about Kaep is still happening. let's not forget Alex wen't on a six game winning streak before he got hurt, and then Kaep led them the rest of the way. also the following year the defense carried that team, and players were complaining about the way the team was playing because scoring went down under kaep.
as 9er fan i was disappointed with the decision they made on Alex, i hope Alex just wins 1 super bowl or 2 to validate his career.
He said "I'm devastated they didn't keep him" 😂😂. Disrespectful haha
Would've been a good place in Arizona.... SMH
Chiefs got a really good cb too ya forget that
TDreacts that dude is a stud too, uprising cb star imo
Marcus peters is litt
J.R Go Krazy it was Fuller
hey skip b,( the cowboys fan) from 7:00- 7:26 are you talking about kirk cousins or tony romo?
Drew brees wins more games with a good running back so does Big Ben. Kirk throws more ints and fumbles way more than Alex Smith. With Alex speed he will do well in Jays offense
Bruh y’all keep doubting alex smith making him have a chip on his shoulder. He isn’t great but he’s good and Ik he’s gonna be 34 but stop doubting him😕
TheWhiteWhale he played well against the titans. Very well actually.
Good move for both, redskins save money and kirk gets paid to play for another team. Chief have mahomes too so everybody wins!
This aged well
That opening night in New England, Alex Smith and Kareem Hunt combined gave me like 95 points
They seem to forget about Redskins running back Chris Thompson, him and Alex smith with Crowder, Doctson, and Pryor as the wide outs skins gonna be something serious. Also with a healthy O-Line they will be easily a 10 win team. Shannon Sharpe gonna be eating those words with Louisiana hotsauce by December 2018. Good move skins #HTTR
Blacc Kings Network please y'all can't even beat Dallas 8-8
Well Shannon did mention “if they can stay healthy” (especially Jordan Reed)
Cass Money Truth be told Dallas is no better than Washington, maybe you should listen to skip, he's a diehard cowboys fan that actually fears the skins now and rightfully so.
Pryor will be gone, no way they re-sign him. A healthy Reed, more touches for Doctson, use Thompson the same, sign a decent RB to help carry the ball. Crowder is a big play slot WR. Oline idk, way too many injuries but was solid before.
Keep Def Coordinator and resign ZACH BROWN @ MLB. Add pieces here and there, D should be decent.
Redskins need a new owner..
Who’s here in 2021 😂😂👌
Michael Halpern im here in 2020? How are you already in 2021???
As much as I hate to admit it, I agree with Skip. As a Redskins fan, I'm finally happy that the QB drama is over. Alex Smith is a good QB, and I think he will fit in well with the Gruden Offense. I'm excited to see next season.
This was truly a BAFFLING move. Why would they give up all that they gave up for a QB who is older and WORSE than the one they already had? Plus, they HAD the leverage in this deal...we all knew Smith wasn't staying in KC.
Talked about this on my channel today.
Kirk Cousins is a stat stuffer
not neccesarily in the jay cutler stat stuffing mode, but i see what you're trying to say.
But if you put Kirk Cousins on the Jaguars or Texans, they're a lock for the superbowl.
Cris Mike Texans already have Watson
You mean Drew Brees
Cris Mike 🤣🤣😂😂😂
Alex smith is a beast bro.. deal with it
Skip is always right! Best sports mind on TV!!
Alex Smith is an upgrade, but what are you building for? They aren't a Super Bowl team yet, and getting a veteran like Alex Smith isn't the right move. The Redskins forfeited too much for Smith when they could have addressed the QB in a depth-heavy free agency or in a star heavy draft.
Shannon is SOOOOOOO right, as usual.
Skip was dead right for the first time. Kirk cousins had Pierre Garcon, desean jackson, jordan reed, and crowder in the slot and still barely got in the playoffs and went silent against a horrible GB defense in the wild card round. he chokes constantly in 2 min situations, just like accidentally taking a knee into halftime in that same game.
Finally someone is talking interception ratio here, Skip gets it
One of the few times Skip's perspective is on point, at least about Cousins. It's possible he could flourish elsewhere but Washington had one of the best receiving cores last year and the year before, that's why his personal numbers are so good. Alot of the big plays this year came off screens to Thompson before he got hurt and Vernon Davis. I've watched nearly every game Cousins has played as a starter and the biggest problem I have with him (besides the pick 6's and endzone interceptions) is that he is late on throws alot of the time. It's noticeable when you watch him and then watch the upper tier quarterbacks.
How many Redskins recorded 1000+ receiving yards in 2017? After Thompson got hurt midseason, the receiving core was awful. One of the worst in the league.
Master Pizza Crowder and Doctson= One of the best?????? No. If you are talking about 2016, and 2015, then you are right, those WRs were good.... so was Kirk. 3 4000 yard seasons in 4 seasons is probably one of the best averages in the league.
I was talking about the previous two seasons, not this last season. Jackson, Garcon and Reed.
Master Pizza but they didn't bail him out. This year proved that.
I think all this year proved is that they had no choice but to throw the ball because the running game was non existent. Plus its easier to get yardage throwing the ball when the other teams are playing prevent defense because they have a lead. That Seattle game was only impressive because of the Seahawks reputation. Seattle did not play well and the Redskins defense actually showed up that game.
This is a TERRIBLE move for Washington, but it's what they do. Good for Smith for getting paid. 'Skins fan get ready for 5 years of high hopes followed by crushing late season and late game defeats.
Skip is right about Alex Smith he's a good QB cousins pees himself under pressure it's going to be tough going twice a year
1:08 oh damn SKIIEUP just got checked
I agree with Skip
Bad move for DEADSKINS 💀💀💀
Aisian ThreeQUISIANS Foreskins
Aisian ThreeQUISIANS 😂😂😂😂😂
Drake Budasz with the redskin personnel at best they will go 8-8.
good one shannon
I love Andy Reid but as a Eagles fan I've seen him do this before and it end badly. Anyone remember Kevin Kolb?
Kirk Cousins might be a better fit for the chiefs because he has a stronger arm and takes more chances downfield than Smith does. Unfortunately this isnt a qb for qb trade. Also the redskins are dumb af. They shouldve just gave cousins a deal instead of franchising him every year. As a cowboys fan id gladly take cousins over any nfc east qb cept maybe wentz. But then again wentzs great year could be a fluke. Who knows.
Condor_l Gaming I liked Kirk too. They're gonna regret getting rid of him.
23beautifularies no doubt
I think Wentz is the real deal, but coming off a torn acl and lcl who knows if he will even be ready next year.
Skip used to get beat up every day all throughout jr high and high school
Cedrick Carson word on the street is skip used to throw them hands end I put that on Sean lee career
Well he did really well for them when he was healthy obviously that didn’t last long but he did super well for that short time
Alex Smlth had a nice career in KC. Is a true leader. Good Luck in Wash. That seems to be an impossible place to play.
Im a redskins fan.... alex Smith with weapons = playoffs ... kirk cousins with weapons = lose to giants to enter playoffs.
I know a lot of Raiders fans that would rather have Alex Smith than Derek Carr
Ish B no....
I don't think any 1 is that dumb wtf...
That's a damn lie!
Never!
lies all lies
Skip and Shannon both missed the fact that Cousins had several seasons working with Sean McVay. His importance to the Redskins offense was incredibly influential. Cousin's numbers were not as good without him.
I find it interesting that Shannon always uses that used car analogy.
