Kirk Cousins Mega Thread. Post all your thoughts under this thread.

just got an update saying Cousins narrows it down between Vikes and Jets

 

Me too. Don't trust Matt Miller all that much but hey, it's nice to be considered. He's basically gonna have to choose money over immediate winning if we are gonna land him.

 

yea, not a fan of Miller, but its SOME news (if its true)

I have mixed feelings on it but i guess we'll see

 

Scheme and coaches will matter too.
We know Bates is a good fit. What does Shurmur run?

 

My pessimistic voice tells me he is using Jets to drive up price to the Vikings.....if FO gets
that feeling...let him go......

 

I will sign Keenum (but Denver will beat us), then best QB available at #6

 

shurmur is HC of the Giants now, not sure who the OC is at MIN now

 

I'd actually prefer McCown over Keenum as an interim veteran option.

 

Dunno... but I don't think the Giants are in play for Cousins

Bates could be our key. The familiarity plus money might make him a little more comfortable longterm. But if he's looking to only sign a 3-year deal so that he can cash out again, we're screwed.

 

oh that's right lol. what a terrible HC decision by the Giants.

Defillipo is now the Vikings OC. shit, he's good too...

 

I posted earlier in this thread

IDK about all that. cousins is singing a LTD likely 5-6 years. in NFL years that's a lifetime.

lets look at the "win now"

both the jets and broncos won 5 games in 2017 while none suffered major injuries. both did it with not so good QBs
Both defenses allowed the same points per game (23.9) despite the jets defense having an extra 100 plays run on it.
Denver will also lose talib if they sign cousins which is a big blow to their secondary.
on offense they have thomas and sanders at WR. not much depth behind them and no good TE. sure both are capable 1000 yard WRs but so are enunwa and anderson. plus we have kearse and likely ASJ as well. at the RB position anderson is just decent. i'd take powell and maguire over anderson and booker any day. I'd say the jets have more weapons on offense then denver overall. they do have a better o-line though but we can fix that if we land cousins. If denver lands cousins they can't do much to improve. we can still sign o-line and a WR for him. a landry or robinson maybe. and have an extra 2nd round pick

now for the future
sanders and thomas will be 31/30 at the start of the season. the age where WRs decline. not much left in the tank. for us enunwa, anderson and kearse are all young. enunwa and anderson could both be here the next 5+ years with cousins. that creates chemisry and consistency. We are one of the youngest teams in the NFL. denver is not. a lot of their players are on the wrong side of 30

So one could easily argue that not only are we a better "win now" option then denver, we are also a better option for the length of the contract

now as far as arizona goes i'll make it easy, they have less money then and aren't as good as minn so makes no sense to cousins to go to a place that can't pay him nor are they better then the vikes. Money wise the jets and browns have the most to offer, denver can pony up some cash too but as i said jets are better then both of those. if he wants to win now bets bet is less money in Minnesota. If he wants money out of the 3 options the best is the jets. The cards can't offer either. He doens't seem like he wants to play of Cleveland. Denver still has an outside chance. so i see his landing spots as jets/vikes with denver having an outside shot. I can't see any other team having a legit shot at signing him

 

I think their choice of GM was much worse then their choice of coach. I like shurmer. not sure if he can be a HC but he did wonders with the minn offense. gettleman is a terrible GM though

 

The thing about Keenum is, if he has a good season, there is a possibility of him being our future,
McCown could have an MVP year and is still 39.....offer Case 3yr...50mill..(20 guaranteed) ...

 

Just got the notification. If he does pick us, the draft will be very interesting. All we've thought about so far is which qb we'll get, and I haven't heard much on TGG about other players in play at 6.

 

If we get Cousins, I'm looking for Barkley or Nelson hands down.
That's a big part of the benefit in signing Cousins.

 

I could easily be wrong, but I don't think either will be there at 6, but with how many teams wanting one of the main qbs, you never know.

 

I think there is a good chance Nelson will be there.
If both are gone I'd try like heck to trade back for a team looking for a QB. Worst case Chubb would probably be there.

 

Is looking like is going to be Jets vs Vikings for Cousins.

Just because it's being said it's down to 2 now, I don't think that's a sure thing by any stretch. I smell a bit of speculating.

 

JLC basically says that if Jets put up $50mil in year 1 hes not gonna say no..
So put up $50mil in year 1.. fine by me
