Why ? Falcons sign Kirk Cousins
I thought Arthur Blank was smarter than this . Oh well maybe it will work out . Crazy $$$ and crazy guaranteed $$$ .

B+ maybe A- QB?, QB1 are hard to come by in the NFL... Falcons needed one. I'm happy for the Cousins family. Seem like good folks, quite the payday!

I have no issues with Cousins as a person he seems like a decent guy . But elite QB? I don't think so but I would be happy to be proven wrong .

Since he joined the Vikings, he was 3rd in passer rating and 3rd in TD passes with issues at coach and offensive line, in the NFL. He is not Mahomes, but try and fine a Mahomes. As a 49'er fan living on the east coast, I tend to follow players now rather than teams. It is my hope that you will be pleasantly surprised because that means his Achilles is well and he has done well. Again, big fan.

There are a lot of decent, even good, or great QB's that have shown to be terrible people and an embarrassment to the team/league.
KC is elite (or almost elite) and he's PR superstar with zero drama and probably zero risk of arrest.

I have nothing against KC
![]() That said ... he's 36 yrs old, and has suffered an injury than ends many careers .... at a full stop. 4 years ... for 180 million (with 100 million guaranteed) at that age and injury just seems .... sorta rich ![]() Of course I'll see him play at least two games where just shines ![]() ![]() I wish him well .... haven't followed him that much to be honest ... but 100 million guaranteed.... gulp! |

^^^ No question there are risks, but he is just a really fine man.
The Netflix series "Quarterback" – highlighting NFL stars Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota during the 2022 season – became the No. 1 show on Netflix on Friday, less than three days after its premiere. I recommend it.

I too like Kirk from his days in DC.
How do you like me now? Was Awesome. Will be interesting if he can help the Falcons. |
