Amen. He’s a great guy and a great QB when the conditions are good in the pocket, but he doesn’t have that “it” factor. He’ll be missed but it’s time to find our future.
As far as his Achilles tendon injury remember Marino had a less than ideal repair of his Achilles and still played for six more years. The surgery is definitely better now, recovery times are less and Cousins, like Marino is a pocket passer so he doesn’t need to be able to run well
His playoff stats are good in the playoffs, the defenses can't stop other offenses in the playoffs. The Vikings defense gave up over 30 points a game easily in the last playoff losses. That's Kirks fault though using Purple Daily logic
Everything is connected, the more you pay Kirk the less you can pay for defence to stop these teams in the playoffs. In that case Kirk and co. have to score more points to make up the difference. Btw, Giants fan here, I've nothing against Cousins.
@@karma99 I understand that as well, which is why my biggest concerns are the interior offensive line and the entire defensive line. I know we need to have a solid quarterback as well, but if the team can't do anything then the quarterback really won't matter. There is only one Mahomes, so every other franchise needs to build a team, including the Vikings. I am of the belief, that Kirk can see that the Vikings will be one of his best opportunities to win a Lombardi trophy, so I think that he is waiting to just see other offers, because we live in a capitalist society, and as well as the union expects players to make as much as they can because it's better for the entire league, but I feel Kirk is going to just see what the offers would be so that he can come back to Minnesota and say I could have gotten this, and the team should arguably pay me this, but if I take less with some guarantee, then the team can be built, and maybe we can have a shot at whipping Mahomes in a Super Bowl. But I've been wrong before, lol
@@FriendsofTaz Sure, I've no complaints with that. It boils down to what you think you can achieve with him. If you think he can win a SB for you as you are then you back him all the way. If you think he needs help then you need to look at how much you have available to bring that help in. The question is can you get him the help he needs, with the amount of money you have left after paying him? I don't know the Vikings situation, so you'll have to work that out without me :)
Quarterbacks can't win games by themselves. This was the first year that Cousins has had the same offensive coordinator two years in a row and the defense wasn't in the bottom half of the league----this is the only year that has happened his entire career. Mahomes and Brady never won a Super Bowl with a bad defense. Just saying....
In my experience, injuries happen when you're upping your game. Kirk was responding to pressure & pushing himself. Why aren't there more performance based contracts? Couldn't you pay say $28 & load it with incentive bonuses based on staying healthy etc? Wouldn't that give you room to bring in a rookie too?
Correction Jeremiah - the Vikes won't save any 2024 cap space by moving on from Kirk. There are future implications of an extension, but the choice in 2024 is cut Kirk and take a $28.5m dead cap hit in 2024, or extend Kirk for about a $28.5m 2024 cap hit. Both scenarios cost the same this season, but in one you have a starting QB, and in the other you don't. The real issue is how do you get out from Kirk in 2025 if your rookie QB is ready to start then? Hence Kwesi not wanting to guarantee 2025.
For those of you who want to get rid of Kirk better hope the rookie QB is better than Bryce Young and can play oline dline CB and RB. We are going to have to give away the next two or three years of draft picks.
I know this video is about Cousins and its great but, how about at 12:24 Joe Barry going from a 1 high to what looks like an inverted Tampa 2. Cousins does a great job coming back and hitting the DIG or BASIC on the backside. Very cool play on both sides of the ball.
3:59 "If you don't get pressure on Kirk, he can dice you up." Udoh gets melted, Kirk fires a dart and picks up 20 yards while being hit. Can't make it up, watch for yourself.
PAY DARRISAW! In all seriousness, we need Kirk back - we have the best WR in the league saying that he wants Kirk, he doesnt need to say that. JJ knows Kirk is the best option for us to win. Let's beef up our D to make stops finally. In Kirk's prime, he hasn't had a great D to help us!
A question for your "Dumb football questions" segment. When you guys played were the ENDs aligning up in those wide 9 techs and if so, did you find that to be an advantage to your pass pro or was it harder? Did you find it easier or harder in the more traditional 5 or 6 tech to pass block?
@@stewbabe69yes but Marino played for six more years and had a less than ideal repair according to him. The surgery has markedly improved and more players are returning from this injury in shorter amounts of time
He might be "ELITE" in the pocket, but we don't have much of a pocket, and he SUCKS under pressure. Winning teams have QB's that are good under PRESSURE!
I think The Kirkster is a dying breed of QB in the NFL. Pocket Passer Type. The guys are right about the NFL is Blitz happy. That calls for QB's who can move out of the Pocket and make plays. Cousins covers up that deficiency well; he's a Top End Pocket Passer QB. And Father Time is catching up to The Kirkster. It does to every player.
I’m supportive of the Vikings moving on from Kirk. I agree that it’s not the right move to pay him high market value. However, these clips made me sad to see him go. He can pass with the best of them.
I love how we have ONE game a year where he looks "elite" when the 8 games before he was a deer in head lights who manages to hit a schemed wide open Jefferson a few times all the while being responsible for 8 turn overs in those 8 games. He is the living definition of QB fools Gold. If he played like he did in the 49ers game EVERY game and cost a bit less, sure, keep him, but we have a decade + of evidence that tells us he either cant or wont.
Ok, most of these highlights were of Addison. Not Jefferson. Having a scheme that works is a good thing not a bad thing. Kirk was not responsible for the fumbles, dropped passes, and interceptions that occurred because the ball bounced off the receivers' hands. He also wasn't on the IOL that couldn't produce a run game to ease the pressure. But blame Kirk, it's the Purple Daily mantra after all
@@Lee-uz6dj I never said I wanted him back. If he came back at like 25 million a year for 2 years, I’d take it. That isn’t going to happen. I’m sure Kirk will be gone. That’s absolutely fine. Realistically probably SHOULD BE gone. I’m just sick of all the idiot fucking morons saying “HE ONLY WON ONE PLAYOFF GAME”. It’s fucking stupid. How many playoff wins does Harry or Jefferson have? Better not pay Jefferson, he can’t win the big game. Trade him…… (see how stupid it is to say THIS PLAYER only has X playoff wins)
@@RaoulDuk3 “kirk takes 20% of the cap so no other player can ever be held responsible.”---- Got it…… 🤡 I swear, it’s like Kirk kicked some of ya’lls dogs or something….
All I keep seeing are excuses to deflect from something Cousins did during a moment in the game with EVERYTHING on the line, where he chose to make the play he did. Sure all those moments made an impact, but why can’t people address that play without spouting off other parts of the game? 🤔
Just gotta chime in here so i teach tennis at one of America's boggest clubs boliteri in Florida and its literally the closest you get before pros my tennis kid is going on 20 parents filthy rich and he snapped his Achilles last year just got back after rehab and medically cleared and he cant plant pivot or push off the same oh ya i forgot to tell the best part he got his surgery done by the same eude Aron Rodgers had and im sure its the same a kirk my boy will be lucky to make it in the pros let qlone last longevity wise so i believe its best to let kirk walk now we wont have the same guy under center its crazy that people think were getting pre injury kirk
The amount of times they said "while the conditions are perfect" while showing the OL falling down is hilarious lol
A team is definitely going to pay Kirk what he wants…I just hope it isn’t the Vikings.
And congratulations you are the new commanders
No team is gonna pay cousins 40 million he will be lucky to get 30 million
Daniel Jones got 55, dumbass @@imalwaysrite123

Oh no, it's risky to move off of Kirk. We might not be able to win 8-10 games and lose in the 1st round of the playoffs. What will we do
I was gonna ask this on the podcast... But I forgot, are the guys coming to the draft party as well?
Two older star QBs both pop their Achilles with non-contact injuries this season. That has to worry GMs.
Vikings are doing a "competitive" rebuild. Whatever the fuck that is, but i like it. 😂

Dan Marino but he was younger, early 30's.

Thank you. He's a 4th and 13 8 yard pass choker fumbler career loser who compiles stats between the 30s.
Exactly, why their are so many kirk cousins worshipping crazys i don't know he's average at best.
He's gotten better under pressure since KOC took over as coach, but he's still not very good most of the times he's under pressure.
