ANALYSIS/OPINION:
We all heard Redskins personnel boss Doug “Don’t answer your phone” Williams declare that Kirk Cousins was old news.
“We’re not looking in the rearview mirror,” Williams told reporters the day they introduced new quarterback Alex Smith to the media. “We’re going forward, and that’s where we are today. So everything today is moving forward, not behind, and we’re going to treat it that way today.”
San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch apparently wasn’t paying attention.
In an ESPN interview last week, Lynch made it clear that his coach, Kyle Shanahan, desperately wanted Cousins, and that the quarterback they traded for this season, Jimmy Garappolo, was obviously his second choice.
