As long he's getting paid can't blame i him just wish he never didn't to the Vikings for that long we could've done more without his contract all those years
@@Flirken1 You should go back and watch some Kirk Cousins film, as I Vikings fan I can say he truly gets in a rhythm running play action.. The play takes time and allows him to go through his reads without panicking
They paid Kirk for nothing. Didn’t use a playbook that fit his style, got surprised when it didn’t work, and drafted a QB before the season. This front office is clueless and will always be a failure, I see why they tried so hard to get Blank to not hire Belichick. He would have cleaned house on their incompetence.
As a Redskins fan, I was there in attendance that first pre-season game that "Captain Kirk" started. He was an instant favorite, and he really helped give our team hope back then. The fact that he got as far as he did is astounding, and I really hate to see him benched.
@@AnthonyTheKidYobro you asked would I work my job for less than my peers. You didn’t specify anything, you made an open ended question. So I specified what I would do in that situation. That’s what I would do. Who cares what I would do, I’m not a NFL QB but don’t get mad at me for answering.
Frustrating because the same thing happened to Aaron Rodgers in the fan base turned on him instead of remembering the dudes recovering from a potentially career ending injury
Putting Kirk aside (just like the Falcons did), you know at some point, some commentator calling a Falcons game, is gonna have a brain fart, or get their tongue twisted, and say Micheal PENIX jr.'s name wrong.
Falcons are a perennial JOKE! This is 100% on their mixed signals paying a franchise QB and then immediately drafting a franchise QB. Cousins mistake was thinking ATL was a viable option. Crap organization.
This will be a bad decision. They’re throwing him to the wolves and expecting him to save the season without him even playing a snap of a real game yet. Falcons are such a joke.
They're giving him the ability to get some reps in games without potentially ruining the start of a season. If they wait to let him play until next year he could have a slow start. Giving him the opportunity to show his skills and get reps could mean he skips that slow start next year
Penix has been on the bench most of the season and getting a handful of games against Giants, Commanders, and Panthers are hardly 'wolves' lol. Realistically they're probably going still going to be out either way. If he gets broken after 3 games he's prob not going to be great, he'll at least get some experience to reflect on in off-season. If they make it, great add some playoff experience. Also need to give the rest of the locker room something, sticking with Kirk as much as he's sucked is a quick way to lose the locker room.
Throwing him to the wolves? What wolves do you see left on that schedule? This 4 game stretch can be won on the backs of the defense and running game alone. He was the most polished and ready QB in the draft and he’s sat all year. Cousins is in a deep slump and if him killing it in practice is true than you really have no choice but to start him.
Hey at least Kirko did the swag surf 😂😂😂 honestly his injury probably has lead him to not even be confident in his physical abilities. He’s already a pocket QB, but now he maybe can’t even up in the pocket comfortably
After a win no less. 1 game behind in the division, playing .500 ball (not the best but hey kid). The falcons just hate to win and love to pay out the wazoo.
False because kirk time and time again has shown he's the man. Not his fault WR aren't running routes not fighting for balls the oline not blocking...yes some picks are his but you can't praise kirk at the beginning of the season and have him in the mvp race then say much needed benching. So a rookie can make worst mistakes than a decade+ veteran? So you can put him on film and give the nfc south a full summer to prep for him based off preseason and these final 3 games only stunting his growth like 95% of all rookie qbs since 2000 forced to start WAY before they should...and thats not an exaggeration. Name 10 first round qbs who were SUCCESSFUL starters since 2000 and didn't end up a career bench warmer or out the league in the first 5 years
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that Arthur Blank was one of the first owners to say he didn’t want to sign Lamar because he thought he was injury prone?…(then signs an old QB coming off of an injury!) 🗑️🗑️🗑️💪🏾
Best of everything for Curt. Is Atlanta a play action team?? Plus, winning is the name of the game. Curt came forward,Atlanta might not have been a great move. Life is like that. ✌️🏈
I disagree with AQ about the OC.... Can't see anything happen when Kirk isn't on it like he was before.... Same OC, just more experienced at this point, and yet he is to blame for Kirk hesitant and not confident.... Nah ....
The Falcons screwed their rookie quarterback Super Bowl window. The only way what they did makes sense is if they were 100% positive Michael penix wouldn’t be there at 8 and see him as a generational talent
It’s crazy how yall expected Caleb to take Chicago to the promised land and since he’s not winning his season is considered “bad” smh that’s absolutely wild to me
I loved Cousins as a QB for the Vikings, but he played terrible overall this year. He deserves to be benched. I want Darnold to stay in Minnesota, but that Cousins scenario would be AWESOME. If he came back to Minnesota and lit up defenses like he did in 2023 I would be 100% on board. Will the Vikings sign a sixth QB this year? 😂
I believe someday Penix will be a star, hope sooner than later. Regardless Kirk, keep working and get your confidence back… remember the story of Hurts/Tua. You will be needed someday so be ready!
am i the only one that thinks they wanted Kirk out on purpose. why hire a guy with a specific skill set in specific offenses then NOT run what hes good at??? you dont see Jared goff doin what lamar does for a reason lol.
It’s the fact that Michael Vick got hired to coach NSU yesterday and then Penix is named the starter and the last time a black left handed quarterback that was drafted by the Falcons who didn’t start initially but went wild when they did and became one of the most transcendent players of all time… Do you believe in coincidences?
I mean play calling couldn't save him during his time with the vikes and look at how much better they're doing without him with a QB who's supposed to be worst
He will now show why you do NOT draft 6th and 7th yr srs. They can NOT play at a high level. How many 24 and 25 year old qbs have been drafted in the first 2 rounds in the history of the nfl? A TON. How many have been studs? All pro or even pro bowl players? Not a single one. If he flashes for a game or two that will be because the coaches can put him in a position to succeed for a bit until defenses catch on (example is you can limit reads to one side of the field you can help a qb have success for a few games then teams catch on...). Phenix will NOT be a good nfl qb. He will NOT be a + nfl qb.
Compare to future HOF Eli Manning's last few years. And maybe even good ol Aaron Rodgers right now. I'm curious how that stacks up with the stats and W-L. Kirk gets kicked to the curb, the other 2 are worshipped even when they suck.
I don't know why every one is saying "throwing him to the wolves " speaking about Mike....MAN LOOK AT WHO WE HAVE LEFT !! ONE REALLY TOUGH GAME (WASHINGTON). NOW YEA A WEEK OR TWO AGO YEA BUT IF MIKE IS WHAT WE THINK HE SHOULD DO DAM GOOD.... AND LET'S SAY TB LOSE ONE AND WE TIED UP AND WIN THE DIVISION WITH A ON FIRE 🔥 MIKE WITH KIRK STILL THERE.... IM HOPEFULL
It’s not at all that Kirk all of the sudden became blind and dumb to what defenses are doing… he just can’t throw anymore after last years injury. All of his throws are just suck farts. He can see the throw he needs to make, but the timing is all off because his arm is now a noodle.

Just was about to say his grand kids will Atlanta falcons NFL money..
Matt Flynn anyone
You’re not lying. Dudes had what 3 maybe 4 above average years?
KIRKO BAGS
You sign a QB that thrives off play-action, then call next to ZERO play-action plays. Coaching staff kinda set him up for failure.....
Kirk can't play under center anymore, his legs are shot. Or one 🦵.
Can’t run play action, if your QB can’t sell it. He can barely move when he’s on the field. Anything more than a 5 step drop is wasted
Agreed

@edutainme7265 Aaron Rodgers is a tool bag and that's why the fans turned against him and his play just made it a lot easier to dump on him
People don’t realize man, Achilles are just different. Far worse than a knee or a broken leg. Almost 6 months more of recovery.
Kirk has made over half a billion dollars and has one playoff win?
Wish I could fail up like a lot of people have done the past four years.
He's made a little under 300 mil. Still crazy.

This Viking fan would rather have Keenum back💜✌
Giant’s will sign him on Wilson type deal (he can be our new warner to Eli )
I can easily fumble a dozen times and throw sixteen interceptions in a season - can I also have $160M?
Props to Arians and the Bucs for giving Ship a Super Bowl ring
If Penix is that guy… that offense is gonna be scary
As a vikings fan I would like to point out that I KNEW this would happen. Kirk is a decent guy, but his loyalty is to the bag.
As it should be.
I never blame the guys for securing the bag. It was the front offices decision to sign him.
Hall of Fame agent.

Steelers are paying $1.21 million for Russell Wilson.
49ers are paying $1.1 million for Brock Purdy.
I don't care what the numbers show, a QB should be paid based on his numbers but rather, if he makes it to the Super Bowl.
I’m excited for penix.. as a broncos fan the 2 QBs I wanted the most were Bo nix and Michael penix jr. hopefully he proves he’s worth the pick

Crazy how we are all acting like Penix is already a guarantee 😅
THATS COLLEGE THIS IS THE NFL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. HOW MANY HEISMANN WINNERS CAME INTO THE LEAGUE THAT SUCKED
I don’t understand what Kirk fans see in him. He’s only had 2 seasons where he’s won more than 9 games.
Cousins can't move. No play action cause no running game. Don't know if he's still injured or age caught up but it's a disaster.
There's a literal ZERO % chance Vikings take Kirk back.
Get Kirko out of Atl asap mane
Watch Penix do well , threaten to sit next season , and bankrupt falcons
I believe someday Penix will be a star, hope sooner than later. Regardless Kirk, keep working and get your confidence back… remember the story of Hurts/Tua. You will be needed someday so be ready!
Second biggest fleecing in NFL history what a joke 😂
We don’t want Kirk back in Minnesota
Probably wasn’t smart to draft Penix. Could have got Kirk a lineman
Kirk - DONT LIKE THAT.
If the Vikes sign Kurt Cousins at all, you'll have a lot less Vikings fans. The only way Kurt wears Vikings purple again is if he pays us to play.
Kurt Cousins isn’t going back to the Vikes LMAO, y’all wish he would tho 😂😂 Skol!
He has had a good run of being in control. The kicker is that his last team is 11-2. He will be fine. Shanahan now has a choice to pay him or Purdee.
A starter on 21 teams? Not sure what sport Shipley is watching, but it ain't NFL football.
Hopefully Penix Jr comes in and turns Pitts into his guy!!! And we make a run as a wildcard
Pat it’s “MACHURE” not “MATOOR” cause yes Penix is mature.
Im sorry but why is D But's commentary aways just "as you said..." and just listing whats already been said

I mean play calling couldn't save him during his time with the vikes and look at how much better they're doing without him with a QB who's supposed to be worst
1 touchdown to 9 interceptions is bad play period. His legs are shot and he has 0 mobility and can't play under center to compliment their run game.
