And now this coach is trying to fight back

for his job and needs to stay employed, then he's going to want to pull that fire alarm pretty early to get the rookie quarterback out there to save his job.

So that to me is, you know, that's the challenge of it.

This is the perfect scenario.

You got the first year head coach coming in there.

He's got the, you know, one of your owners who happens to be the greatest quarterback of all time who firmly believes this is the right way to go.

You've got offensive staff there.

You've got Cousins, who not only is a veteran and can play right now, but by all accounts is an unbelievable teammate and is going to be willing to help Fernando out as well.

So I like the way they're doing that thing.

Yeah, no question.

I don't know how Kirk could ever come close to spending that money.

He's a very simple guy.

So look, hats off to him.

That all started, if you remember, was the double franchise tags.

Washington franchised them.

And then it would have been easy for him to accept the next deal, not wanting to be franchise tagged again, you know, taking some risk on a one-year deal.

But he was able to do that twice and get to the market.

And once he got to the open market, if you're a top 10 quarterback, you don't have to be the number one or even top five.

If you're number eight or number 10 in the league and you get to the free market in your prime, you're going to make a lot of money.

And there's a reason why very few teams allow that to happen.
