Look guys, Kirk is good, but it's not like he is a true franchise guy(he is the best we have had, but who have we had?) Yeah yeah, he broke a lot of records but any good modern day QB will break records in this pass-happy league(they call PI on every other play).

I like Kirk but he has some issues that I believe will hurt him. He needs to grow up a little and not be so thin skinned(no pun). It seems his ego gets bruised really easily. Remember when he would throw a pick and go in the tank. He did improve on that, but he is showing the same traits in this whole contract deal. It's like he's saying, "I don't want to play for you guys because you did me wrong by paying me 44 million dollars." Remember, he was passed over by a lot of teams in the draft, and had he gone to the wrong team things could have been much worse for him. He seems ungrateful to me. We need a LEADER LONG TERM at the QB position, not somebody showcasing for another team... so unless he is on board and agrees to a contract that is fair, say 100-120 million over 5 years with incentives, we need to trade him ASAP for the most we can get.

Also think about this: IF he truly thinks he is all that then why with a huge shortage of QB's in the league are there not a lot of teams wanting him? Bears, Jets, 49ers, Browns, Texans, Bills, and Broncos all need help, but the 49ers are the only team showing real interest. You would think the Texans or Broncos would be calling but it seems they would rather have Tony Romo than Cousins. I'm telling you guys, Cousins aint all that and smart folks around the league know this. The lack of interest in those teams going after him is very telling.

I charge hourly, expect a bill shortly
