I am talking about his presser

Re: Thank You Kirk Cousins Thread
 

It's time to turn the page on Cousins. But I'll say this. He got his guaranteed $. Now the pressure is really on to perform. The bar is NFC Championship for the Vikings. We'll see if Cousins is up for that challenge, and if he'll be able to handle things if he starts slowly.

Re: Thank You Kirk Cousins Thread
 

i watched the entire conference. Yes Kirk could have said more praise to his old team, but people have to remember that he was doing his first press conference as a Viking, so anyone expecting him to go on for a few minutes about how great we (The redskins) are, that's just silly. I do think he was classy with his goodbye tweet about his time in Washington, and thanked the organization.

I thought most of Cousins' answers were handled very well, and he was very politically correct.

One thing i took away that I find noteworthy; Kirk was asked directly to describe what it was like "getting here" (In Minnesota), and he said directly; "It's been a 2 1/2 year process for my agent and I". Whether he means it took 2 1/2 years for him to sign his first LTD as a starter, or if he meant it too 2 1/2 years to get out of Washington, we may never know.

I believe that it was the latter, i think this confirms the theory that some had here that he wanted out following the 2015 season when he was lowballed initially...

Move on Matty. Nobody cares.

Re: Thank You Kirk Cousins Thread
 

People say they don’t care, but they do. Especially the ones that wanted to see him crash and burn, or chase the money to NY.

Re: Thank You Kirk Cousins Thread
 

He still chased money as he can get 30 million a year in Minnesota provided they win the Superbowl each year.

He gets a 2 million dollar bonus every year they do.

When I heard the Skins had acquired Smith I moved on from Kurt😉 . Now with Kc in minn anything less than super bowl is deemed unacceptable I have to think back when all the skins had to do was beat the frickin Giants ....hmmm my bet is with the bar set that high in Vikings land I’m not sure they got the right guy for the job.. In fact I can’t believe that they let Case go ..think of the outrage if the redskins went 13 -3 got to championship game and then cut that Qb! I believe that all of this could be a big mess for Minnesota..in fact Keemun in Denver might be a great move and I love Smith here in DC ! Going to be fun to watch this all play out! Rest assured whether this thread gets closed or not Cousins in minny will be a topic of fans for a long time might as well embrace it !

He would have got that from the Jets without winning it all, and nowhere near the pressure to win.

Yes because as we all know Vinny built a Super Bowl contending roster here.

Re: Thank You Kirk Cousins Thread
 

Another stat I just heard but haven't had a chance to look it up is Kirk has had the 3rd most INT's on 3rd down over the last 3 years. Per NFL RADIO on Sirius XM.. They were discussing Case vs Kirk, which IMO there is no doubt KC is the better QB but yes he has had his share of crucial INT's on big downs as we have all seen. Also has 22 Int's in the 4th QTR in that span.

Re: Thank You Kirk Cousins Thread
 

Wow. Let it go. I would have been happy if KC had stayed. B/c I like Smith, I am not crushed that he is gone.

In hindsight - Did he go diva? Sure. Was he a solid QB? Yup. Did BA f*** by not locking him up long term two years ago? Yup. Did that screw-up cost us a good young player in Fuller? Yup. Is Alex Smith a better QB? IMHO, Yup.

I am just glad the drama is over and we can get move forward. Cousins is gone and there is lots of blame to go around.

Right now, the Skins are making good moves (and non-moves) in the off-season and have a QB who wants to be here and who fits the scheme in place.

Just. Move. On.

For the last 3 years his INTs have climbed his QB rating has declined and the Skins have not won a playoff game.

He got fair offers for what he brought to the team, heck the 53 million guaranteed money offered was pretty generous in my opinion.

I find it hard to believe that Cousins will play any better than Keenum did last year. In most cases the grass isn't greener on the other side.

Re: Thank You Kirk Cousins Thread
 

I respond a lot in this thread. That's cuz sometimes you see a post and impulse control goes OUT THE WINDOW :)

Lets PLEASE lock this thread, to help us help ourselves. then when we meet Cousins in the NFC Championship next year we can open a new one.

I doubt anything will happen in the offseason that will prompt ANYONE to make a new KC thread (might be a bannable offense) but since it's the offseason, if there is a thread like this it will never die ...

I agree, it’s beyond ridiculous at this point, I’ll do my part and bow out... haters you win, Kirk is basically no better than McCown or Keenum, the Vikings are like a Vinny Ceratto clown show, Kirk is clearly all about the money by taking less than NY would have paid, did I miss anything?

Now I’m done

In all seriousness, Kirk was great for us. We should build a statue of him outside of the stadium (maybe one of him and Ryan "The Legend" Grant).

Bruce Allen's subtle wisdom in player personnel moves is beyond brilliant. Dumping Kurt the bestest of all moves made in free agency ever.

He will suck so bad in Minnesota that they will have the first pick in next year's draft and bring the whole team crashing down.

Oh, I'm crazy alright. Crazy mad the Skins have let the reincarnation of Sammy Baugh walk out the door.

Your hating is just proof that you are an inept at everything QB related. If you are criticizing Capt. Kirk, it's because you know nothing and cannot recognize greatness when it plays out before you.

You're a fool who knows nothing about QB play in the NFL. Your fawning fan-boy love for Kurt is disgusting and kind of creepy.

Maybe they should put the statue in your bedroom so that you can have some "alone time" with your man-crush.

I agree with everything except the tidbit about Alex being better. Less mistakes? Definitely. Less total td's? Also yeah, unless you think he's going to keep improving over last year as he advances in his 30's. I don't expect Smith to take us deep in the playoffs, I'm just hoping he's a solid bridge qb until we get our next young developer.
