LAD_Brooklyn Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 4 years - $180M. Good job by the Falcons when you factor in not having to surrender 2nd rounders like the Jets.

Prodigal Syndicate Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 If Cousins is ever gonna shake the regular season qb who folds in big games label, it's now. That team is loaded with talent on both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maynard13 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 So what does Cousins to Atlanta do to our pick in the draft. Altanta was one of those teams looking for a QB either through FA, trade or draft. They more than likely go WR with Nabers or Odunze. Tackle not in play for them. But now Vikings will probaly trade up somewhere in top 10 that could affect the top 10 players taken. So if NE trades back or passes over Daniels, I could see Vikes tradeing up somewhere in top 10. Ive done several mock drafts and ALL have NE passing (excuse the pun) on taking a QB at 3. Of course the top 3 are Caleb, Naye and Daniels. I just dont see how NE can pass on Maye or Daniels. They just cut ties with Mac the Wack and their backup aint a starter either. They could trade back and take McCarthy or Nix lor Penix later on. If Vikes trade with Giants/Atl/Titans/Chargers that increases our chances of getting Alt. Trading with NE would cost the Vikes a fortune. This signing definately changes the landscape of the draft. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what? For folding like a cheap suit in every prime time and post season game he has ever played in. Don't confuse a guy who puts up good fantasy numbers with good quarterback play. Mahomes Allen Burrow Hurts Jackson Stroud Lawrence Herbert Tagovailoa Prescott Goff Purdy Rodgers Kirk Cousins is at best the 14th best QB in the league. At this point, I would take both Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield ahead of him as well. He is mediocre and will be playing for the league's most mediocre franchise.

This is set instone. Fields is a goner. 2 Wash Daniels - Bigger upside than Maye Set in stone. 3 NE Maye - Perfect fot for NE and they're DESPERATE for a QB. They just dumped MAc Jones. No way they trade back and give up a chance to draft Daniels or Maye. Set in stone. 4 Ari Marvin Best WR since Calvin Johnson - Murray is there for awhile and Marvin is ELECTRIC. Set in stone. 5 Chargers First draft pick in round 1 that will shake things up. Bowers, Nabers or Odunze. I could see them taking Alt but Harbaugh likes weapons and he can get a blue WR or blue chip TE for Herbert. Too good to pass that up. 6 Giants - QB's GONE. They could go Nabers/Odunze , Alt or trade back. But if all 3 top QB's are gone, no one is trading up to 6. So lets say Giants take either Nabers/Odunze. 7 Titans at will take Alt. Ughhh 8 Falcons will take either Nabers or Odunze if either are there. 9 Bears take edge Turner or trade - they like making trades and someone could swoop in and take Fuaga or Fashanu right out under our feet. 10 Jets - Left with Fashanu or Fuaga or Latham. Dont think JD has any other choice, in his mind, than to take either of therse guys, Trading back could backfire but there are a lot of very good options in round 1 for a tackle: Mims, Guyton, Latham Ughhh. I dont think JD messes with this and takes Fuaga or Fashanu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geno and Baker Mayfield? You are complaining about Cousins lack of big play wins, but are going to tout Jackson, Herbert, Lawrence, Stroud, Hurts and Tagovailoa?

JoeNamathsFurCoat Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Cousins is the poster child for stats over success He’s never won a thing, never had any modicum of playoff success, but still breaks the bank at every turn Even at age 35 coming off a torn Achilles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 4 minutes ago, JoeNamathsFurCoat said: Cousins is the poster child for stats over success He’s never won a thing, never had any modicum of playoff success, but still breaks the bank at every turn He spent six years in dysfunctional D.C., the only team in the NFL worse-run than the Jets. And spent six years in Minn. on a team that generally failed to play Defense for most of that time (29th, 24th, 28th in 2020-2022). Cousins does what a QB should do, produce passing yardage and scores. In that regard he's unquestionably a top 10 NFL QB. What Cousins doesn't do is rise up to the occasion, to make the team and his own play rise up a notch or two when big things are on the line. He blows it in prime time games, and he doesn't elevate his game in the postseason or with postseason on the line, generally. I'd still take him 1,000 times over the Zach, Geno, Darnold, Sanchez types we've had, for much the same reason I supposed Fitzpatrick in 2015: producing passing generally means winning seasons and chances at the postseason, as opposed to our guys near-constant dead-last passing production the past decade+. With that said, if I had one game that we must 100% absolutely win with everything on the line, Cousins might be one of the last guys I'd want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
