Cousins fleeced every team he played on. One playoff win in 13 years. Teams kept falling for it. He is a mid qb. Not in the top group not in the bottom group. Laughing all the way to the bank.
In the playoffs people get a fixed rate besides contract incentives but the base salary is the same across the board I called it every time we made the playoffs he'd play like he didn't give a dam
@@karenhardie1132 I remember the 2019 playoffs at the 9ers, The all 22 were showing Wr coming open in the second window by that time, Charlie check down had gotten rid of the ball.
That’s my problem with JJ McCarthy. I only saw one throw like that within anticipation in college, and to be honest on that throw, it was versus Ohio State, he didn’t see the underneath defender, who, for whatever reason, turned around instead of just jumping up and picking the ball off. You don’t see those kind of throws on tape with JJ McCarthy, but it was everywhere with guys like Drake, Penix, and Nix. McCarthy can learn to throw with anticipation, which is about spatial awareness, not necessarily something you can coach into a person, then he will be very good.
Thank god Kork cousins listened to his wife and went to Atlanta😂 he was holding back the team zimmer knew it the team took a nose dive with his contract
Yeah the big contract was bad but he literally dragged those teams to wins after Zimmer's defense took a nose-dive. Do you honestly think Case Keenum would've done better without the elite 2017 level defense? Cousins did exactly what he was paid to do. He outdueled Drew Brees in a playoff game, it's not his fault Dalvin Cook rarely showed up in the playoffs when it mattered and Zimmer's once great defense got completely outshined by The 49ers. Even Aaron Rodgers lost to that defense. You can blame Kirk for The Giants loss if you want but to act like all of the playoff losses are his fault is ignorant.
I called this the day they signed Sam 😂. If you looked at the team the coaching staff and then Sam's capabilities through analysis... It stood a high likelihood of success. Much like the Lions did what is the season prior
Same. Sam was a lot better at Carolina than many folks believe. Sam went 8-9 there with a moderate HC, one playmaker and a struggling O Line. All others since have gone 10-40, including Baker at 1-5. If that's not elevating a team, what is?
@@robe2504the Jets are historically horrible with quarterbacks. Look what they did to Aaron Rodgers in like four plays 😂. The kid is special. I only would have taken Josh Allen over him in that draft. As a Buffalo Bills fan I have no complaints
I’m not a fan nor a hater of Kirk Cousins. Financially, he took advantage of being a near-ish top 10 QB. There are always teams that will overpay to try to fill a gap to improve their odds of competing for a championship. Rarely does that actually work out though. The Vikings are a different team though with Darnold. I think it’s more than just Darnold but this team has rallied around him like no team ever has done for Kirk.
That is so funny that you pointed that out! About the local beat writer asking him that question! Which to me is an absolutely ridiculous question at this moment in time. Anybody with any kind of sense would’ve known that the answer was going to be exactly what he said. Lol. It’s the last thing on anybody’s mind in that locker room!
He’s talking about the regular season. September-January. Offseason and preseason you can slack a little. But you should buckle down during the season.
Kirk deserves some respect for squeezing absolutely everything out of his talent, as mediocre as it is. Bucky Brooks said it best, QBs are either trucks or trailers. Cousins is definitely the latter.
😳 when even Sims is dropping the "oligarchy" term it just proves that Luigi's message has broken through. Everyone realizes we're living in the New Gilded Age where everything & everyone is controlled by billionaires... we're having a full "mask off" moment in America & I'm here for it
Mike, are you finished with Kirk Cousins, The NFL fans were waiting for him to show up as the average QB that’s doesn’t work on Tuesday’s. Is he worth his contract? Thx Mike
I wonder if koc will ever tell us his true feelings about Kirk curious if he honestly even wanted him back or if he's the one who told ownership it was time to move on maybe he wanted a true pro who's locked in instead of taking days off
So weird that they aren’t saying why he takes a day off. He’s a Christian and he believes in keeping the sabbath. They know that. Isn’t it odd that they pretend to not know?
Isn't the sabbath - Sunday? So, you're saying he puts money before faith? Not exactly up to speed with Jesus kicking the money lenders out of the temple is he?
Those who wonder why kirk cousins is a failure, it is because he is paid too much for what he brings to a team. Always had a capped ceiling and the vikings kept falling for it. Kirk Cousins is not a good NFL quarterback.
It'a predictable that you would take the ultimate enjoyment at bashing Cousins for taking Tuesdays off. He works 6 days a week during the season and finds that it is best for him to spend 1 day a week with his family. Being the type of father and husband that he is in all probability not spending a day with his family would negatively affect his play. Also how much better do you expect Cousins to play. His numbers in 2023 were better than Sam Darnold's numbers this year. Even without that great defense at his back. Last year the Vikings would have been 8-0 with Cousins as a starter if the Vikings were not leading the league by a mile in both drops and fumbles with wins over the Chiefs, 49ers, Eagles, Packers and Bucs. 5 playoffs teams and both Super Bowl participants. He had MVP numbers and still you criticize. Also let's not forget that O'Connell tried extremely hard to get Cousins to stay because unlike you he knew what he had.
The Kirk hate is ridiculous. He’s still one of the best QBs in franchise history. His work ethic was never questioned. Obviously Vikings made the right choice letting him go, but why don’t Vikings fan hate Danielle Hunter too? He actually had contract disputes and left for more money.
Hunter doesn’t fit Flores system. He’s a pass rusher and excels at it. Vikings also drafted Hunter instead of giving him the first fully guaranteed contract
Wow, I had no idea Kirk was a slacker, because his strengths were always his accuracy & his business approach/work ethic to his preparation and now we find out he wasn’t working on Tuesday’s and of course he didn’t do anything on Monday’s. Kind of reminds me of Joe Biden who spent 40% of his time on vacation, as he took 570 days off! I was advocating for the past 3 years that the team get rid of KC who was a single dimensional QB with no ability/willingness to use his feet to extend plays probably to preserve his health because he knew that is how you continue to get paid. The team kept dumping more assets into the offense at the expense of a perennial top 10 defense under Zimmer to try to get more out of KC. In the end the Vikings paid KC 200 million for one playoff victory in 6 years!
Sam Darnold shouldn't sign any lowballing contract. Let the free agency market determine his worth and force Minnesota to sign him to a long-term contract or franchise tag him.
The process occurs in the opposite sequence. The tag occurs before he gets to FA - so if Kwesi want's him, Sam never gets to test the market. That's why he won't get top dollar - it's discount or tag at $41m, and maybe even trade to another dumpster fire team. Sam loves it at the Vikes, and they love him. They'll work something out after the season and SB celebrations. Now is not the time.
If Sam really wants the large payday, use the non/inclusive tag on him. That tag allows the Vikes to match any offer if they choose not to match then that would receive 2 first round picks for Sam.
@@jeffreyolive8375 I thought it was two 2nds, but I think Sam will have a much higher trade value than that in 2026 or 2027 with another good season on his resume. A 2-3 extension makes the most sense because of the cap flexibility, a natural transition to JJ, and the much bigger trade window for Sam. The franchise tags are inferior in every way.
The dude who takes a day to prioritize his wife and still makes hundreds of millions of dollars is definitely winning at life. I majorly doubt having Tuesdays off has hurt his quarterbacking ability. Sam Darnold is just a better quarterback. It's about as simple as that.
Could the Tuesday thing have been a religious thing? like he can't have a Sabbath on Saturday or Sunday so he does Tuesday? That could maybe explain seeing it as a badge of honor.
The hating on Kirk for spending one day a week with his wife and kids has got to be the most garbage take Florio has ever muttered. Then they bring up Brady. How's that guy's marriage going?
If im paying you 50 million a year to work 4 months, I better not find out you so much as took a fucking nap. You better be working every moment of the week
Good for Kirk. He has every right to do that. But If you are the organization trying to win a Super Bowl, and have a huge investment in a QB. You would want your QB to have that workaholic mentality. In a perfect world, you would want your QB to have that Tom Brady or Kobe Bryant work mentality.
If KO said that, it is a direct dig at Cousins
it was a casual throw in. KOC didn't intend it. (even if he should've)
Cousins fleeced every team he played on. One playoff win in 13 years. Teams kept falling for it. He is a mid qb. Not in the top group not in the bottom group. Laughing all the way to the bank.
His last 22 starts he is 11-11

He's always hunting deep. And KOC is cool with it. I do hope he finds Hock more this game. He needs a TD against his old team!

Zimmer hated Case Keenum all the way to the NFC championship. Tf are you talking about "Zimmer knew it?" lol give me a fkn break.
Tuesday’s are usually a public service/Charity day for Vikings players. I guess I thought that was true throughout the league.
I had the same reaction
I guess Cousins and HHH both have something in common about working on Tuesdays.
Look, JBL was a wrestling GOD ok?

You can be sure that Giff worked Tuesday, even though he had that long flight back early Tuesday morning.
Kirk cousins being who he is and refusing to work on Tuesdays is so funny he's been fleecing teams for years now
Where’s the clip of KOC saying this 😂
Yesterday s clip
Cant wait for kirk cousins to buy out some company with his career earnings. Best agent ever for a below average career player
To be fair he was a fourth round pick wasn’t he? I would say he exceeded the expectations of his draft stock at the very least.
He bought a golf course when he played in mn still
4 months? August thru February sounds like 7 months, plus mini camp about 8 months not 4 LMFAO

imagine what happens when you actually care about doin your job when you need to
He's preparing for the last game of the regular season, with huge playoff implications on the line, and you think his week is "fairly busy"?
Kirk, might get a job next year for a needy team. He will probably be out of the league shortly after that.
Simms needs to learn what an Oligarch actually is.
Well the NFL owners can certainly be considered an Oligarchy. And that's what he starts with, saying that Florio is like an "Oligarch owner".
