Only in a Jets fans mind would the Vikings (or anyone, frankly) prefer the maybe of the rookie over the actual of the elite starting QB. I bet we have fans who think the Vikings would trade, today, Cousins for Darnold, lol. As to the money side, I'd only care about that if A. I was paying for it, and B. WE (the Jets) had actually spent that money on someone else last year (we didn't). This is stupid. U cant compare a 30 year old veteran with a rookie qb who we all know needs time to develop. Kirk Cousins is at his ceiling. Darnold is just beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't going to make or break the team... We're pretty much right back to where we were in needing a pass rusher, so nothing should really change strategy wise. I don't think Cousins ever led on the Jets to think they had a deal in place. Obviously Barr did just that. This is a scum-bag move. They had a deal in principle. The Jets and Cousins never did. Just an open offer from the Jets. Very different. Barr is a dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaJet Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Have fun getting misused and lost in Zimmer's defense.

Cousins is 8 years older. The Vikings couldn't draft their QB of the future because they were drafting so late that year. They went with the next best thing: A proven commodity at QB. That doesn't mean they prefer Cousins to Sam Darnold (or a young QB of their choice). And I didn't even have to mention the part about Darnold being on a rookie deal and Cousins getting $30 million per. The previous paragraph would be enough to say you're dead wrong on this one.

Jet Nut Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Nothing like the way some of these guys have no regard to agreements and the value of their word. They're not idiots. They know the implications of signing with a team that's limited in what they can spend by a cap and who's available and then pulling out after giving your word. So when a poster gives me shlt about players getting screwed by MGT all the time ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mosley pickup only made any sense if we had Barr. I can get behind trying to build a "supergroup" of LB's. We no longer have that. I would have been fine to roll into next season with Barr, Avery Williamson, Jenkins and Darron Lee. But this end result is really not good.

Talented rookie QB's are worth a lot more than a 30-year old veteran who only beats up on bad teams. Just look at how many 1st rounders teams will give up to move up in a draft just for the SHOT at a young franchise QB. Three 1sts or two 1sts plus some just to move up a few spots. Three 2nd rounders for us to move up 3 spots, not even knowing which QB would be there. Come on man. Your worship of Kirk Cousins is pretty gross.
