Detroit paying off the refs for the draft pick.

Probably not going to move up.  Falcons are going to be picking 3 or 4 depending on if the Texans win.  Bengals are 4 or 5 depending on the Texans too.  A Philly win AND a Lions loss moves them up to 6, probably even 5.

Cousins is over 300 yards and has 3 TDs today...

Does he have stinkers? Yes. He sure does. Believe me, I wasn't a fan of signing him initially, or of giving him the extension, but at his worst, he was still better than what Diggs played with before. He's also had a swiss cheese OL most of his time here. The fact that he takes sacks, pushes the ball downfield, and doesn't check down like Sam Bradford did tells me that he might have a run in him. Is it likely? Maybe not. But even Joe Flacco got to a Super Bowl once. I'd love to draft Kirk's replacement this year if we think he's available. But he's hardly the reason we've sucked this year. 

300 yards and 3 tds against a terrible defense in a meaningless game. This performance is great, but if this was against one of the elite teams it’s evident we don’t produce. The football Gods have blessed us with a possible top 10 receiver to go on the other side with a fully healthy Adam thielen. We need a Qb that can deliver, when the pocket is clean or if it’s dirty with defenders. We also need improved play calling from our simple minded coach that believes running the football on 2nd and 10 is the right option a majority of the time. 
 

We need to accept the truth that Kirk will not be the answer for us.

Based on what? He was basically a third option at LSU. There's absolutely no evidence of him being a diva or being unhappy with his role there. 

Is it based on one soundbite caught on tape in a season without fans? Because I'll guarantee that stuff is said in each and every game, but you just never hear it with 70,000 people in the stands.

No, based on the fact that he is a GREAT receiver with a swagger to match. I guarantee you we will see frustration from him if we choose to target him 3 times a game and we shave a losing record. It’s not being a diva, it’s frustration when you know in your heart of hearts that if you are given opportunities you will make positive changes.

Nope. Probably not. Marino wasn't the answer for the Dolphins either. Doesn't mean he wasn't their best available option at the time. 

And Kirk has been pretty good this year against good teams too. This team has just been absolutely snake-bit with injuries on defense this year.

Cool. Now we're diagnosing him with personality disorders because he dances after TDs.
