Provided, of course, he's surrounded by the right personnel.
I don't disagree, I think if you threw Kirk Cousins on the 00 Ravens he *might* be able to win a SB.
Of course, the angle here is that Shanahan wants another job, and he wants KC to be his starting QB. Didn't realize Cousins was a FA after this season.
I have to remember to send Dan Snyder a thank-you note one of these days. Through the years, even when the Giants manage to disappoint ole Danny Boy is consistently bringing the laughs.

Can he himself win a Super Bowl? As in, his team is down late in the 4th quarter and he needs a TD to win? I freakin doubt it.
On another team he's just another QB who will have his ups and downs.
Pretty similar to the whole Heath Shuler vs Gus Freerot thing the Deadskins had going on 20 years ago.
I think it's meant to rub the RG3 mess in Snyder's face.
I don't know. We all saw what that 89 Rams offense did in overtime -_-
I think it's meant to rub the RG3 mess in Snyder's face.
I'm sure it's just a nice bonus that he gets to poke at RG3 and Snyder while he's doing it, but I really think Shanahan's the type that figures his system can turn average QBs into above average performers.
Problem is, I don't think Kirk Cousins is even in average territory. Anyone he's lobbying for a job would need to believe that he can either turn around an existing underperforming QB or be able to bring in a QB cheaply/easily enough and start moving forward on day 1, and what better way to do it than to take the Redskins QB in FA (imagine being a fan of that team).
I agree whole-heartedly.
Many a decent QB has been ruined in Washington.
