I think in all that is going on, some of us don't realize that KC is/was that same drafted QB. We for the first time in a long while drafted & developed a legit starting QB. What assurance do we have that the FO doesn't make the same mistake with whoever they drafted? Can we really say "Oh they learned from the Cousins mistake"? Has this franchise consistently proved that we have learned from any mistakes made??

Good points.

One thing though: I think the root of this messing up Kirk's contract situation is that the FO didn't draft him thinking of him as a franchise QB.

Yeah they drafted him but they didn't view him as the guy.

One can hope they'd handle the QB situation better with somebody they drafted to be the guy.

I say that still hoping they sign him long term, even in the high 20s M.

But yeah, marry or break up, don't make us live another year under the tag.
