49ers eyeing Kirk Cousins

[Rowdy]

Russell Wilson would automatically be in Kirk's head if he put on a 49er uniform... I don't know if Kirk's ever beat RW in the NFL H2H...

Yes he has

Who is Kirk Cousins' agent? Dude is the GOAT.

Word. When he was sought after, he cashed the EFF in. 3 year, fully guaranteed deal. Good deal if you can get it.

 

[Slimpikins]

At least the Niners are being nice enough to let me know not to get my hopes up this season.

 

[Anointed One]

Yes he has

Was it when he was with WA?

After 4 years of the Lynch/Shanahan regime my conclusion is not to believe anything regarding rumors around the 9ers until something actually happens.

They simply have a lock down when it comes to leaks so usually any rumors around them are people speculating or another party leaking information typically to drum up interest.

Stafford is a prime example as "sources" said the 9ers had the inside track in getting him, they offered 2 2nd round picks and 2 3rd round picks, and everybody was linking him to the 9ers but today it's they never made a serious offered and only had some conversations with Detroit.

Cousins rumor reeks of people putting dots together that aren't actually put together.

Yes please!!!!

 

[Chief Cola]

Um, that's not much of an upgrade

Without doing any research, I would have agreed with you. Instead I decided to look at his stats this season:
35 TDs to 13 INTs
4265 yards
67.7 completion percentage
8.3 yards per attempt

These are all top 10 numbers. He's good. Also hasn't spent 2 of the past 3 seasons on IR.

Yes

It was the game where Blair Walsh missed like three field goals, he cost us the playoffs that year.

He should have as a Viking. Twice. Once his fault, and recently us not being able to get a foot for a first down and the defense collapsing.

Yeah, sounds right

Sorry, that was your team's own fault. You saw up close him miss that chip shot and collapse in the next season. He was a good kicker that was broken by then and you still gave him a shot.

I doubt this happens. Vikings GM Rick Spielman has attached his legacy to Cousins and he's gotten 8-7-1, 10-6, and 7-9. Exactly what Cousins is. M-E-H.

The idea that a team will trade for him and give draft picks to take on his contract is any smart Vikings fans' wet dream.

Kirk Cousins is a fine QB. He is not part of the problem, but he is not part of the solution either.

Spielman and Zimmer, unfortunately for them, are on borrowed time, and signing/extending Cousins is what they hitched their wagon to (Even though I'm sure Zimmer preferred the much cheaper Teddy).

Round up, unless the 9ers give their 1st, this trade is not happening.

Vikings fans would take a 3rd and Jimmy and be done with it, but it isn't their job on the line.

I put the possibility of a Cousins to SF deal happening at about 15%.

FO was dumb for not resigning Haush. Once they signed Walsh I knew that was going to bite us.

 

[VikingFan2k2]

One thing about cousins he’s been durable. He’d be an upgrade over jimmy

But, at what cost? Not enough for the Vikings to leave themselves without a QB.

Again, he won you a playoff game, so that should somewhat make up for it.

Cousins is a less talented version of Jameis Winston

That's not fair. Cousins is a guy who is way too conservative and has to have everything perfectly laid out in front of him. Winston is a guy who says "Fuck it" and will throw an amazing TD or an idiotic INT.

Jameis is the more talented QB, but when you get benched for Tebow's little brother, you aren't a good NFL QB.

I think Winston is still a starter . That said you're right from where you're coming from. My comment was more based on " they'll give you good stats but not win you games" opinion .

They are heavily padded though. He also willingly takes the sack instead of throwing the ball away and is one of the all time leaders in fumbles. If its 3rd and 15, he is not risking going to open receiver 20 yards down the field when he can get a completion for 5 yards and punt the ball.
