LANDOVER, Maryland -- The referendum arrives after every game, sometime with each pass. Pay Kirk Cousins! Don’t pay him! He’s worth a bundle. He’s not worth much of anything.
But the truth with Cousins has been this: He’s capable of struggling but also of producing huge nights. That’s why those who made up their minds on Cousins a while ago haven’t really changed. Each side can offer proof as to why they think the way they do.
However, if Cousins strings together more nights like Sunday, a lot of mind would be forced to change. He played one of the best games of his career, leading the Redskins to a 27-10 win over the Oakland Raiders.
