Around the NFL: Pre-Super Bowl

49ers might be making a play for Kirk Cousins, not surprised. https://heavy.com/sports/minnesota-v...RpFyRk7IYEnC_g

From the article:

Quote:

Shanahan, who was the offensive coordinator in Washington with Cousins in 2012 and 2013, admitted he didn’t evaluate the 2017 quarterback draft class with Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson as thoroughly as he should, given he knew Cousins would be available the next season.

“I felt very confident that [Cousins] wasn’t going to stay [in Washington],” Shanahan said last month. When you go into a season knowing that a franchise quarterback is going to be available the next year, it made me a lot more picky with what we were looking at.”

I just find that hilarious

It is hard to believe that he would admit that. Talk about NOT doing your due diligence.

Why is it so hard to believe? I actually think it speaks volumes of Kyle's character and I respect him even more now. Yes Kyle messed up on this big time but he isn't the first and won't be the last coach to whiff on something like this.

I don't see why a) the Vikings would part with Cousins at this point and b) the 49ers would part with picks for him AND swallow that contract. Seems like yet another 'I'm bored I'll start a rumour' thing:

Wishful off-season dreaming by Vikings fans

Chief X_Phackter · 02-02-2021, 09:07 AM

Honestly, I'll bet what actually happened is he did evaluate Watson and Mahomes, and he doesn't want to admit that he didn't think they were anything special.

MTK · 02-02-2021, 11:37 AM

Plenty of teams whiffed on Mahomes and Watson. I don't think Kyle was the only one that year that didn't do enough homework on them.

Sad news

Former NFL head coach Marty Schottenheimer moved to hospice facility, family says

skinsfaninok · 02-03-2021, 10:05 PM

Marty was a damn good football coach. Sad to hear

SB field is painted. End zone colors look great, glad KC used yellow.

Also, anyone else think it's odd that the Bucs, the FIRST team ever to play the Super Bowl in their home stadium, chose to wear their ROAD uniforms for this game? They have a better record in white this year though for what it's worth, and Brady has won more SBs in white instead of colored jerseys.

Someone really needs to Photoshop this and change it to the Chefs.

And Tyreke Hill suggested he and Scotty Miller race at halftime. That would be awesome. Won't happen though, but it would beat a crappy concert.
