Mike FF Today 707 Posted March 11 I'll bust this one out of the free agency thread. The Falcons have some nice looking pieces on offense and are out of the Arthur Smith business. QB: Kirk Cousins RB: Bijan Robinson WR: Drake London TE: Kyle Pitts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bills04 54 Posted March 11 How L-O-W will Jefferson's stats be in 2024?? He got A-L-L the love - but no one gave Cousins credit for being a Top-12 QB for all the time Jefferson was there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RareN64Dream 20 Posted March 12 I think, you all are underestimating the Vikings a bit. I believe, they have they #11 pick in the draft. So, they for sure have some firepower to find a new QB. They also picked up 2 good defense players from the Texans and 1 from the Dolphins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who was-a very good fit for that offense. Imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The offense isn't lacking in talent and they have the #11 pick. They can easily move up to get someone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, they have no choice but to draft one now but they better move up somehow because at least 4 of them will be off the board by pick 11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only one direction to go for Pitts and that is UP but London's upside is more appetizing to me. Taking that Kupp / JJ role in the Rams/Vikes offense....

Maximum Overkill 1,363 Posted March 12 I can't believe the over hyping of the Falcons by the media. The Falcons certainly got better, they're nowhere near a Superbowl caliber team, baby steps! Cousins is a nice QB, not that guy, as Minnesota knows. Does anyone remember how bad he sucked when Minnesota needed a win most? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RareN64Dream 20 Posted March 12 I think, the Cousins signing helped Bijan Robinson the most. Cousins is good at play action passing; so teams are gonna have to respect the throw a bit more than Ridder/Heincke etc.; most likely. Tyler Allgeier is pretty good too. Cordarrelle Patterson can make some splash plays here and there too; one of the best kick returners of all time, but tougher with the newer rules. "Flash" aka Patterson is very good at catching; he played WR in college. Falcons also got Darnell Mooney, Van Jefferson I think, and Mack Hollins are all not that bad at WR.

Yeah, Falcons definitely have a 12+ win potential this year. Their defense needs attention but that offense is in good shape. There's a good chance that the offense also improves the defense. I don't see them as a Super Bowl contender unless they really upgrade their defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maximum Overkill 1,363 Posted March 12 What are we doing here? The guy has been around before the dinosaurs, he's only played in 4 Playoff games and won only 1. Baker Mayfield says hold my beer. Kirk Cousins is 1-4 in the playoffs in his career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray_T 718 Posted March 12 1 hour ago, weepaws said: Silly stuff. I like the post. but the difference is the amount of guaranteed money with Jackson, a running QB who likely performs well enough over 2 or 3 years but likely doesnt perform at that level for the rest of the contract. running QB's are mostly done by 30 or 31 (often sooner) unless they can transition to become more of a pocket passer. Cousins contract guarantees all of year 1 and 2 and if he doesnt perform, the buyout at that point shouldnt be too bad. and I think he likely has 2 good years left. after that it does get dicey but hes not got a lot of guaranteed money at that point. its a completely different level of committment. he wont get you a superbowl, but he likely gets the WR onto the next stage of their development which wasnt gonna happen with any other QB on the roster.
