Kirk Cousins

[jethreauxdawg]

Why does he never stick with a team? What franchise has improved at the QB position after sending him down the road?

The Falcons replaced him with Penix and you see how good that worked out.

Well, he was with Washington and Minnesota for 6 years each before going to Atlanta. Alex Smith replaced him in Washington and Sam Darnold in Minnesota. As with most things, and I haven't looked this up, it probably came down to money.

I'm not feeling sorry for him. In his career he's made over $340 million with 99% of that guaranteed.

He left the Vikings in free agency and the Commanders didn't resign him. He has had a great career. Lots of money

I’d say most of it isn’t his choice. But he’s a good QB. Maybe one of these stupid teams should have committed to him.

I guess it’s because he’s not MuH dUaL tHrEaT!!!111

Darnold was pretty good before he broke his butthole

That happens in Minnesota

There’s only a handful of dual threat QBs in the NFL. That has very little to do with it.

Couldn’t come to an agreement with Washington and signed with Minnesota for a lot of money. Had great seasons until he tore his Achilles. Signed with Atlanta and pretty much sucked. Threw a ton of interceptions. Now he’s playing as a mentor for Mendoza for less money.

Kirk Cousins isn’t ever going to be in Canton, but he’s a LEGEND down at the bank

He stuck with 2 different teams for awhile.

Both moved on when the sample size became sufficient enough to suggest he’d never lead either of them to a SB without a hell of a lot of help and luck, so he essentially couldn’t keep his performance up to par with the ever increasing price tag of QB’s in the NFL.

Washington drafted Kirk Cousins with the 7th pick of the fourth round after drafting RGIII #2 overall (Andrew Luck was #1). Cousins is still playing at a high level an RGIII retired in 2021 & Luck retired after the 2018 season. Chatgpt says Kirk Cousins has made $341 million playing in the NFL. He has had a very good career.

This makes me laugh. Not your comment, but that teams that have a good nfl qb, but are convinced it’s easier to win by rolling the dice on the hardest position in the league to replace. I don’t think any team that parted ways with him has done better replacing him. Maybe they did better financially by getting a cheap rookie QB, I don’t know.

I added Lot of respect for him after watching that Netflix series. Seems like a good dude and works hard at his craft. Just not as talented as some

It will be an upgrade. Penix was great last week, even though it was the Packers. Cousins played his way out of the Atlanta job.

Cousins what's he really done that Dak hasn't? What could Dak have done with different options of teams over the last few years? Dak may sink with the good ship Jerry, but he should have opportunity to win in the playoffs. That's because the Jones's don't keep up with themselves. Us fans may have to realize Dak is making cash and the rest is a plus if he makes it.
I for one wanna see him win the conference but more importantly the Super Bowl. Unfortunately don't think either will happen in Dallas.

I think the Vikings have certainly upgraded. Darnold was pretty good for them when McCarthey went down. Last year proved that McCarthey sucked so they went and got Murray.

Washington took a long time but eventually found their guy in Daniels.

Cousins just had too many WTF games for a supposedly good QB. Particularly in big games, prime time games, etc. General lack of consistency that didn’t always show up when looking at composite raw stats, but was there regardless. That hurt his stock with both fanbases.

I think Daniels is on his way to washing out of the league in a couple more years. He had one solid year but injury bug seems to be one he's probably not gonna overcome.

Agree. My concern for K1 (and Daniels who has a more slight build) is that they'll end up like RGIII who as a rookie in 2012 was spectacular to the tune of 3,200 passing yards, 20 TDs against only 5 interceptions, plus 815 rushing yards and 7 rushing TDs. Washington built an offense around read option concepts that forced defenses to account for him as a runner. But knee injuries, especially the ACL/LCL damage, changed his career trajectory dramatically.

I think a better approach in the NFL for mobile QBs is what Dak is doing. He polished he passing game and his pre snap defensive reads, and then runs 2 or 3 times a game for short yardage when the sticks are close.
