Smart but F the Falcons
WHO DAT ⚜️
Thanks Kirk for the W. Get your money #KeepPounding
Let's start Kirko and win games. I like this idea some continuity
Dont restucture him as a Qb1 restructure as a Qb2 if we keep kirk ..we will be in the same boat…Need a running Qb
Funny they like to say Deshaun was the biggest bust and waste of money ….. lol anyways , seems like the owner was already int talks with Cousins about his contract and they already decided on moving on from the head coach no matter how strong they ended the season . So with that said , I believe they will end up going with a new QB and having Pinex sit in the bench . Sadly the only thing that was going to save the coaches job was a playoff appearance and maybe 1 win . As for the WB Pinex will be criticized for not being great and they will critique the trade for cousins but people forget that cousins was hurt and he didn’t play well and that’s why they moved on from him even with that big contract .
Kirk Cousins is the GOAT at getting PAID
This shows you that terry fontenot wasnt making all the contract decisions on the team.
He wants out lol come back to the Vikings
Matt Ryan is the new President Of the Falcons.
Malik Willis
Let Kirk go man
Kirk will get you to the playoffs(maybe) that’s about it.
Yeah, I don’t know what’s gonna happen to Kirk cousins because basically end up Falcons do cut him then I suggested it will be teams of opportunities Yeah there’s the New York Jets. They need an opportunity to get a quarterback and to fix the motivating teams and basically that it’s kind of true. No not the Tennessee Titans. The Las Vegas Raiders this is a team. I mean, they already got the restructure and basically that it’s kind of true, but you need the quarterback and basically it kills you the truth because it is the truth because basically that is kind of true. And the last one will be the Arizona Cardinals basically that is kind of true. It depends what they’re gonna the team they’re gonna do to Kyler Murray they’re gonna cut him or are they gonna let them go or are they gonna send them to another team to get a draft? It depends what the Arizona Cardinals those are the three teams for Kirk cousins for opportunities.
Stefanski to the Falcons lol
Trade kirk for GeeNO and then let kirk play 1 year with the raiders will helping Mendoza
This tells me if they wanted they could go without a GM. Decisions on players personnel happening before hiring a GM
Why they acting like they don't know Matt Ryan is making these decisions know lol
We all need Cousins agent. He has made so much money not winning in the playoffs. 😂
Gotta keep Cousins if they can make it affordable. He would be a really good option if the Falcons can bolster the pass blocking. They pocket shrunk a lot this year. Not very many clean pockets.
Like Kirk cousins or not you cannot deny the guy is the absolute goat in getting paid it could be like 400 million made by him by the end of next year
Wtf is this? CLEAN HOUSE!
Murray over Cousins?? Somebody is smoking WEED!!☘
He's gotta get out of there
Easy to trade away or cut.
That was a good question Arthur Blanke and the team president negotiated the contract without a GM
They wanna keep him Kirk cousins can still play. They should’ve never benched him for MPJMPJ quite frankly wasn’t ready just like JJ McCarthy both those guys are injury, prone, and guys that need to sit for a minute in order to develop.
So the falcons don’t have a line built for pass protect for a pocket passer. As good as some are at run blocking not quite as good for 250-300 yard pass games. Can cousins be a bridge? Possibly but reality the Falcons beat a Saints team and lost to Jets and swept by Carolina. Something is lacking on Offense to put up points and I think it’s just the wrong pieces fitting in for a run heavy offense that puts up too many fgs. Improve pass protect, pick up a solid #2 like Pierce and a good OC . I’d like to see Kubiak at head coach
They should have been starting him instead of drafting an injury prone qb
About Time Atlanta Wakes the Hell Up!
They need to bring him back the team looked completely different they should've never drafted penix Kirk Cousins first year in Atlanta he came of a major injury Kirk Cousins had time to get healthy and look at him
This validates yet again the fact that the Falcons under the fired GM and coach made a poor contract decision with Cousins (a backup QB) originally. We need to find a new starting QB.
Wtf are the falcons doing bro absolutely beyond dumb AF
The Falcons are setting up for a post June 1st release,
Cousins was the highest paid player on the team he’s the backup quarterback. Get rid of him.
Kyler Murray? I would rather have Kirk cousins on a short contract and Kyler Murray at all. Kyler Murray is not an NFL quarterback.
Kirk too nice. I would’ve said respectfully… fuck yall. Keep paying me😂
Those calamitous lateral screen plays that the Falcons offensive coordinator keeps calling are just ugly. They never work! Hopefully we we've seen the back of them once and for all
That Granderson pick was a helluva a play and Zac Robinson predictable stupid screens. Most of Cousins turnovers werent even fully on him
Falcons ownership is smart enough to know that the team cost themselves two division titles by not playing Cousins and they want him back as the starter. Blank spent 180 million on Kirk for a reason and the coaching staff screwed it up.
Prisco Kirks not a sullt time starter any more- meanwhile if they started Kirk from the beginning they probably win atleast 9 games and the South lol
Penix is a bust
why do we need two hosts asking questions?
I don't understand how people continue to under value Cousins. Since he has been in Atlanta he has had his two worst years as a starter but when he was semi healthy he played well enough for the Falcons record to be 13-4 how is that bad. When you use the Real GOAT Scoring System the 5 most underrate quarterbacks since 1947 are, Y.A. Tittle, Fran Tarkenton, Ken Anderson, Drew Brees and Kirk Cousins.
