We gave up a first round draft pick and change for him. I believe KC had franchised him, but the deal was in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would seem he’d be more inclined on finding bargains than getting caught up with mega FA deals. I don't know why it would, nor am I making a prediction either way.

Right, my comment was directed towards the idea we’d pursue a big money FA contract yet applaud an analytics hire when practically speaking, strategies of big FA contracts and analytics probably don’t align. How many big money FA contracts actually work out from a ROI standpoint? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then will we get posts like this about LAC? How is this even a real tweet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win a super bowl on your rookie deal, get paid, and never go back. Burrow missed out this year, just wonder how many chances he will get. Just not easy to find a truly great NFL QB.

He should do the same tweet and replace Herbert with Tua. Or Darnold. Or Rosen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cearbhall Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I don't have strong feelings about the Cousins extension one way or another. If that is what the new GM thinks was the best move, I am happy to let it play out and see how the decision turns out. Cousins isn't a bad QB. However, I am going to disagree with the opinion that Cousins is a top 10 QB at this point. To me, he is a middle of the pack QB. Middle of the pack is pretty good. I've never been 15th best in the world at anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
