welcome to another offseason of this

He's gone, this was the final straw.He basically said Kirk killed us in some games.

“When you’re 7-9, you know it’s hard to say, ‘Wow, this guy really was outstanding,’” Gruden said. “Kirk had his flashes where he was really good. From a consistent standpoint, over the course of 16 games, you know, we’re 7-9. He did some great things, threw for over 4,000 yards and 29 touchdowns. So I think he’s a very, very good quarterback without a doubt, but as far as getting us over the hump from 7-9 to winning a division with all the injuries that we had, I think he competed and did some good things.”


Yeah he's done in DC.

If he can't handle an honest assessment, then he should be done in DC.

Nothing Gruden said was incorrect. Cousins was overall good this year. But that Giants game on Sunday was terrible. Any honest, comprehensive assessment of his year has to mention that.

He had ups, he had downs. He was not great. He was good.

Gruden's right on the mark and if Cousins can't handle that then don't let the door hit ya.

But he can handle it. And he'd probably tell you the same thing.

He's right to a point,but the "we're 7-9" quote is weak IMO... So you are basically saying the QB is the main reason for 7-9, when the whole team was injured and the guy had nobody to throw too... If I'm KC I'd want out, all of the reports over the years of him not feeling wanted appear to be true now. Maybe Jay and Bruce both want a new QB next yr.

Yeah, that's not at all what he's saying. You're reading into his comments and not hearing what he actually said.

Maybe so, I didn't watch the video

I did watch the video. He wasn't saying that.

He said Kirk is a very very good quarterback. Passed for 4000 yards and 29 TDs, so he's done some very good things.

But he mentioned consistency and facing some adversity.

Basically 100% right on, accurate, and honest while being careful to make just enough excuses (injuries around him) to avoid appearing like he was killing Cousins in the media.

I don't know, maybe we should go the Alex Smith route since it seems like he's on his way out of KC.
