Thank You Kirk Cousins Thread

Did you forget that RG3 was the 2nd overall pick, and that he (with the Shanahans) led the team to it's first division win in 13 years?

The old qb either had a thin skin, or was in desparate need of outside approval (see his twitter post asking fans to help him decide where to go).

Note, he still hasn't actually signed with Minnesota, and insisted on being wined and dined last night like a diva.

Call me old fashioned but I don’t see what’s wrong with actually meeting your new employer and seeing where you’ll be working the next 3 years before you sign. Same for the Vikings actually getting to sit down with a guy they’re going to pay $84m to.

Granted it’s all a formality more than anything, but some would argue the Texans wish they had met with Osweiler before they signed him, they may have went in a different direction if they had.

I get that, and I don't think it's particularly egregious in fact we did it with Norman, and probably DJax. It counts towards being "wanted".

By the same token, you can't hammer - imo - the FO for not wining and dining a 4th round pick who eventually won the job because the vaunted draft pick became a bust.

Research what happened to Alex Smith in San Francisco if you don't know all the details. Alex Smith had about as bad a time as any highly drafted QB could have had, yet never uttered an unkind word and was the perfect teammate and team player. Alex Smith has very thick skin and is the exception to the rule. Unlike Alex I believe Kirk is either normal or a little thin skinned. I admire Alex, but hold no grudge against Kirk.

You kind of make my point. The NFL is a business, AS has every reason to feel slighted by his previous teams' FO, and didn't hold either hostage or play dumb about how the split ups went down. The old qb, not so much.

I heard a bit. It sounded like he was given a softball question to praise the OL and didn't. Seems like at the least he could have mentioned Trent Williams. C'est la guerre.
