@maverick2112@TheAngryBowel@nflrums@AaronRodgers12 Well, if Cousins would have had the good/great defenses and good coaching for most of his career like the guys winning playoff games have had, he’d be winning playoff games, too. But, he’s had bad defenses for most of his career. It’s not that complicated
@vSniperOG@TheDonJulio1@Raiders Clearly you have never watched him play because his actual game film and production completely destroys your and boneheaded and lazy narrative🤡 Cousins is FAR better than Schaub and its not even remotely close
@VikingsGazette And why is that? The media. Vikings media is the worst w/ the dumb takes that he checks down all of the time (2022 playoffs) when Next Gen Stats have always given this advanced-metrics stud his due for years and years
@Morro972@nflrums Seriously? Stafford has been a starter for 17 seasons, left HS early & was only in college for 3 seasons AND got first round pick pay. Cousins finished HS, red-shirted as a college freshmen and got 4th rounder pay & has been starter for 11 yrs
@vSniperOG@iAmSniperJones Well that is just dumb. You're just setting him up your future franchise QB up for failure instead of developing him. Even the QB coach said he has a lot to learn & that is not gonna happen in one off-season
@Meesalou@SleeperVikings Some people are idiots. QBs are the ones to elevate WRs. Not the other way around. No matter how great a WR is, he ain’t gonna catch a ball that’s 5 feet over his head. Jefferson was breaking records in his first 3 yrs, but somehow his QB was not very good
@vSniperOG@TheDonJulio1@Raiders He’s been a legit QB1 for 14 yrs & outlasted every QB who was drafted before him. He tore his Achilles & then had a historic 500+ yd masterpiece in prime time. And you think he’s a failure? You are definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed
@vSniperOG@TheDonJulio1@Raiders Yeah, right. Multiple fanbases travel just to see him play and his ex-teammates, ex-coaches and a whole lot of non-NFL people all love the guy. His teammates are already treating him like the undisputed QB1. No one cares what you think
@680TheFan You're an idiot. QBs are the ones to elevate WRs not the other way around. London had 919 out of 1,271 yards (a career high for him) with Kirk throwing him the ball. He'd had a 1000 yards had Kirk's arm not gotten injured
@johnfisher96@HAWKJOHNSON6@nickwalt@Raiders And a QB cannot physically cannot drop 500+ passing yards in a game or throw active dots downfield using only upper-body strength. The ball would die in the air. He is planting and driving just fine. Update your script
@johnfisher96@HAWKJOHNSON6@nickwalt@Raiders You’re confusing rotational torque as 'no back foot'. When Kirk throws, his weight flashes to his back foot for a split second to load power & then he rotates hips to transfer 100% of that energy forward into his front foot
@johnfisher96@HAWKJOHNSON6@nickwalt@Raiders Mendoza is the one that throws with a lot of arm and his leg sticks out when throws the ball instead of using his whole body (like Kirk does) to get torque. The coaches said the same thing. Kirk's mechanics are muscle memory now
@HAWKJOHNSON6@johnfisher96@nickwalt@Raiders Not quite. Kirk said in a presser during the 2025 off-season that the Achilles healed fine, but he had ankle tightness related to the Achilles healing. It can take over a year to get full mobility back

@SYLOWHO@76ersApologist@dpdoughbag@nickwalt@Raiders You must have missed the many times the Raiders said that they wanted to properly develop a rookie QB the right way by sitting him. Plus, you don't sign a legit QB1 if you were gonna play FM in his first season or sign him to a possible 3 yr deal
@Reno_SportsFan@ryanmcfadden_ No, in other words, he's got some learning to do like every other rookie QB which is why the Raiders said how many times they want to develop him the right way by sitting him like Mahomes and Brady did. And why they signed a legit QB1 for him to learn from
