    The Vikings had a 13 - 3 record in 2017 and in 2018 Kirk Cousins turned them into an 8 - 7 - 1 team. In 2018 the Vikings signed Kirk to be their QB. In 2018 Kirk's QBR was 59.5, ranking him 14th the NFL, slightly above average. In 2018 the Viking offense ranked 19th in the NFL in scoring points/game, BELOW the AVERAGE NFL team. Kirk failed. In 2017 the Viking offense ranked 10th in scoring, well above average. In 2018 the offense became less productive with the addition of Kirk. The huge money he received left less money to pay other players, hurting the roster quality. In 2017 Viking QB Case Keenum ranked 2nd in QBR. In Kirk's six Vikings seasons his average QBR ranking was 15th in the NFL.

      @@ronaldshiffman9171 lmfao because he was the first player ever to receive a fully guaranteed contract, Cousins is now set to pass Tom Brady on the NFL's list for highest career earnings. Since his rookie year in 2012, Cousins has raked in a total of $281.5 million in contract money, which includes the $50 million signing bonus that he'll be getting from the Falcons.Mar 14, 2024 along with an additional 50 million being guaranteed after that and if he plays out his contract, he’ll have made $411,669,486. I promise this is no disrespect, but if you don’t think that he’s a good businessman, you more than likely need to go and figure out exactly what the word business means because you’re probably screwing yourself over at this point. It’s either that or you’re just one of the greediest people to have ever lived on 🌎. And that’s not me having a harsh opinion, that’s virtually going off your own words alone.

      @@chiefgangmusic We are talking NFL. In my opinion, the salaries don't make sense, but that is the way the players' association wanted it. I looked at Cousins' stats for the past 10 years. He is pretty consistently ranked about #10. I don't know why, but many commentators dismiss his achievements. Atlanta could have bid for Jackson last year, but they passed. This year, Atlanta decided to target Cousins, who was not the only QB on the market. Minnesota did not release Cousins. They would have resigned him for a lesser amount of money had Atlanta not made their offer. Atlanta's desire for Cousins and their belief that he would improve their team resulted in the big contract. Has Cousins been fortunate in his business dealings? Yes. Has he earned the money he' made? If Atlanta makes the playoffs and wins at least their first game, I would say 'yes'. Cousins will have earned his contract.

      @@ronaldshiffman9171 I totally agree with everything you said. I don’t like cousins at all. I think Atl should’ve went after Lamar as well but first I think they should’ve been prioritizing drafting a highly rated qb since Matt Ryan left. They’ve only been spinning the tires at the Qb position ever since and Cousins will only continue that trend while up taking up a considerable amount of the salary cap. HeII they could’ve gave the Bears a 5th rd pick for the hometown kid Justin Fields just for marketing and ticket sales. There’s no doubt that he would’ve had the City more hype than Cousins. Oh and also before I forget I wanted to let you know that you were right. I shouldn’t have made that statement but instead I should’ve said something like Kirk is a hellava agent picker since it was the work of his agent that has been the great business. I’m man enough to admit my mistakes so my bad on that.

    Kirk is a better fit. He just came from a zone run, west coast offense. The Falcons new OC from the Rams, Zac Robinson, comes from the Sean McVay zone run, west coast offense.
    Russel Wilson's best strength is throwing the ball deep outisde the numbers and improvising. Arthur Smith's offense is a 2 tight end, heavy set, "exotic smashmouth" offense that uses a lot of play action and targets of the middle of the field often- which is something we all saw russel struggle with in Denver.

    - They have Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren as a RB duo
    - They have Pickens, Friermuth, Darnell Wahsington, Calvin Austin III already.
    - There drfense finsished Top-5 & Top-10 with there Top-3 players Minkah, TJ, & Cameron Heyward only playing 13 Quarters together last season.l and they just acquired Patrick Queen from the Ravens and have Alex Highsmith as well. Along with being on the field longer than any offense in the Top-5 in Time of Possession back to back years. Russell Wilson with those weapons in Pittsburgh will sure fix that.
