Kirk Cousins’ Career Has Been Complicated…
Спорт
Kirk Cousins has always had a weird NFL career, but recently things just continued to take an interesting turn with the Atlanta Falcons as he was signed to another massive deal only for the Falcons to draft another quarterback in Michael Penix Jr. But recently Kirk has started to play better and better so maybe, Kirk is done with being an average quarterback at best and can be a true franchise guy for the falcons. Anyway, if you enjoyed this video at all then like and comment if you want, and you can even subscribe if you think I've earned it.

Good vid - definitely do more short ones like this. I like your channel and content - up to the 20 minute ballpark. More than that, when you get to 50 minutes or 60 + minutes, you're competing for viewership choice between a KZread vid, or some seriously higher production value item of the same length, like a Netflix or HBO episode or documentary or the such. I probably watched all your vids up to the 20 minute length ballpark. Haven't watched a single one of the long ones. The choice between spending an hour watching some guy commenting on KZread vs, say, an episode of Squid Game or House of the Dragon, is an easy one.

In 2022, the Vikings had a 28th ranked run game and a 31st ranked defense and he led the team to a 13-4 season. If that's not putting the team on your back, I don't know what is. In 2023...the Vikings started out 0-3 because of the insane number of times that players dropped accurate passes, tipped the ball to other team, fumbled the ball, knocked the ball out Kirk’s hands (this same guard stepped on Kirk’s foot three times in 2022), didn’t block defenders, and committed stupid penalties. Kirk played lights out vs the 49ers and Green Bay (without Justin Jefferson) and got the team back in the playoff race. And if THAT’S not putting the team on your back….I don’t know what is.

@Paula-mv8im the problem is what he did in the playoffs with that team. You can lead a bad team to many wins in the regular season, especially with an easy schedule. It takes an Elie qb to take a bad team and win a title with them. Like when eli manning won a title with the last ranked running game and defense.

@@Giantsfanlewis Couple of things, 1st the Giants did not have a last ranked defense. It was the worst defense to ever win a Super Bowl but not last ranked. Off the top of my head I don't think that the running game was last either because Eli never put together that kind of a season. The Giants were surely overachievers that season with lots of close wins and I believe a 10-6 record. 2nd Cousins played very well in that playoff game against the Giants. In fact he had the highest rated game by any quarterback in any game that postseason. 3rd If you compare Cousins to the average quarterback in the most comprehensive formula ever created to analyze a quarterbacks career you will find that he is the 19th greatest quarterback with at least 8 years in the league since 1947. His play has been about 54% better than the average quarterback during his time in the league. Eli has also been run through the extensive calculations and tests out at just over 5% above average.

So not dead last, but absolutely horrible. Especially in 2012 in terms of stats, that great. Tony Romo and dad Prescott have way better stats than eli as well.

Cousins is a good QB. Someone who barely makes mistakes and looses you games. But also barely wins you games on his own. Since becoming a Starter he averages 1.83 TD per game, 0.67 INT and 268 YDS... If this guy was on the Cowboys for the last 5 years for example, I am pretty sure they wouldve reached the Superbowl at least once. He is something around the 8th-13th best QB in the league right now. Is that worth the money? No clue... but whatever happens, you can at least be sure that QB play will not be the problem why your team looses. And thats at least worth something.
Washington fan here. Not sure if you were talking about 2015 but we did make the playoffs that year but lost 35-18 to Green Bay.
We paid Kirk over $160 million to get 1 playoff win, 1 division win and very nice stats the six years he was here. The best thing that happened to us was the Falcons signing Kirk! Kirk is now the most expensive bridge QB in NFL history.

Since you are a Kirk fan I will give you some fun facts you can share with those who doubt his ability just because the media has never liked him and underrates him all he time. There is a formula that compares a quarterback to the average quarterback of his era and then compares how far above average all the great quarterbacks are. It is called the "REAL GOAT" scoring system. It takes into consideration all the stats that are kept and no stone is left unturned. Kirk is the 18th best quarterback, to play at least 8 seasons, to start a career after 1947. He is on a pace to break the career record for 4th quarter comebacks even though his defense gave away a total of 10 in just 2020 and 2021. He has accomplished this with the worst offensive line in the league over the first 5 years in Minnesota. Remember that teams win games, not quarterbacks or any other player. Kirk cannot be faulted for his team not winning playoff games or making the playoffs. His average playoff game has been better than Tom Brady's average playoff game even though he was sacked 3 times as often as Tom.

That actually doesn't make sense. It's the opposite. Being spectacular is what has fueled his career. Kirk gets paid like he does because of his performance and durability. Before this injury, he hadn’t missed a game due to injury in his 12 year career. He throws 4000+ yards and 30+ TDs every season like clockwork. His career passer rating is 98.2. which is the 8th highest passer rating in NFL history…in NFL history. He’s 5th all-time in completion percentage. His passing yards per game also ranks 10th all-time in the history of the NFL. Say the Falcons had signed Garoppolo, who is a 2x Super Bowl winner, but can’t stay healthy and got benched for a rookie, they wouldn't have paid him that kind of money. It's a team sport, dude. Players are not paid based on wins BECAUSE it’s a team sport. Quarterbacks can only control what the offense does.

Kirk essentially is why the offense is good despite a bad OL that got Dalvin Cook injured a lot. The Vikings 2017 team was vastly different from when Kirk joined.

These people simply choose to ignore the defense’s inefficiency for most of Kirk’s time in Minnesota.

He’s always playing for his next contract. 7:02 … “Kirk is a con man”… riiiihgt … He gets guaranteed contracts (but the trade-off is that you’re also not the highest paid either) because of his performance and durability. Before this injury, he hadn’t missed a game due to injury in his 12 year career. He throws 4000+ yards and 30+ TDs every season like clockwork. Tell a Kirk naysayer that the Vikings finished 13-4 in 2022 despite utilizing the NFL’s third-worst defense per points allowed in 2022, and within minutes, they’ll tell you why he was to blame or how he didn’t do enough to drag the team to the Promised Land. These people simply choose to ignore the defense’s inefficiency for most of Kirk’s time in Minnesota. Remember all that sympathy from the media and fans afforded to Stafford in Detroit from 2009 to 2020? Poor guy never gets any help. Take that mindset - and flip it. That’s the Kirk Cousins’ experience.

Hopefully the Raiders get some good play from Dylan Laube! First guy out of UNH in about a decade
Honestly, as a Vikings fan, I just miss Teddy…
Please do a detailed analysis of the Eagles 2023 season collapse
I love how my Eagles beat tf out of the best defense in the league that year in the 2017 Championship game to go on and win the SB 😎😎🤝🏼🤝🏼
I mean, it is a little ridiculous to expect every team to win the superbowl every year.
I’ve literally never heard of Kirk Cousins haters, how can this guy be polarizing??

Because if you win games, but don't have great stats, you're a game manager. If you put up great stats, but don't win big games, you're a stat padder. Even more so if you can win regular season games, but not playoff ones. And the biggest part of the narrative is being paid like he's "The Guy" when, well... (All this from a Vikings fan. Maybe we could have done better, but 2023 showed us how much easier it was to do worse. Of course as a Vikings fan, I'm just resigned to expecting disappointment come December/January.)
Philly owns this guy
I’m a Kirk Cousins apologist. Ive always liked him and if he wasn’t too expensive would’ve loved to have him with the Raiders
Do the sad history of the Carolina panthers
the players voted Kirk #6 QB in NFL at start of last season ... KIrk's regular season and playoff performances are virtually the same as Joe Burrow ... he is the most underrated QB in NFL history

Finally someone who gets it. He was the first half MVP last season and nobody was close. But fumbles, drops and mediocre at best defense left them at 4-4. If Kirk had stayed healthy and the defense played the way they did in the second half of the season they may have won it all even with a bad o-line.
