  1. 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 .

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. 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.

  10. 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

  11. 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.
