Outro- The Fix by Aldous Young

[@KTOfootball]

For those wondering why players like Zach Baun weren’t mentioned, I will explain below. For simplicity sake, I used a CBS sports article which listed the most “notable” meaning top 8-10 paid per position. Which means some guys didn’t get mentioned that overperformed. I didn’t want to have to list and analyze every single signing so I tried to keep it simple. Due to this, some impact signings weren’t mentioned.

[@TheJalopy80]

Thank you. I was about to type a whole comment about this.

[@DigitalCookieHD]

Somewhat understand. End of the day I think at least Baun deserved a mention regardless of being top 10 notable. I mean he’s in the DPOY conversation

[@KTOfootball]

Awesome vid though once again it Shows how you need to take pff with a grain of Salt. Example as a lions fan: amik robertson. Did he play great? No but imo he met expectations and did not underperform. He wasnt signed as a game changer or even cb2. And in that slot cb role he was alright as expected. When CD3 went down and he needed to take on a bigger role i was concerned. And he was really flukey, again as expected imo. Great against Jettas, but got burned by the Commanders. Overall I think he did not underperform but met expectations. Or maybe my expectations were too low.

[@tmoneytrev9798]

Something tells me the falcons saw something in those 2 months after they signed Kirk that they really were worried about and that’s why they drafted Penix

[@alabamaal225]

No. The four-years contract notwithstanding, it was no secret that Cousins would likely be gone after the 2025 season. Cousins was seen as a big improvement over the QBs the Falcons had previously, but he was not the long term solution. If Cousins did perform, bringing the Falcons to the playoffs, their "reward" would likely be a pick at 20+. Penix was on the radar of a good many teams; past injuries made his stock fall. The Falcons were impressed and when Penix was still on the board at the #8 pick, the Falcons decided to pull the trigger for their real Quarterback-of-the-Future. Cousins was a high-risk/high-reward pick for the "Win Now" who started off promising but just didn't pan out.

[@bryanjones4444]

The Cousins signing was a big mistake but not because of Kirk's play. He actually had a high quality year. Kirk played against the toughest schedule of defenses of any quarterback in the league. Against those 6 elite defenses his completion percentage and yards per attempt were about 30% above the league average against those teams. That includes his only two bad games Pittsburgh and the Broncos. There was a lack of touchdowns and too many interceptions but many of the interceptions were not on Kirk and a quarterback is not going to throw many touchdowns when they don't allow him to throw in the red zone, or on first down, or second and medium or any other down where it was not an obvious passing situation. When they took the handcuffs off he destroyed the Bucs twice and led three 4th quarter comebacks, which have always been his specialty. His other specialty is going through his progressions. In 2022 he set a record by completing at least 60 passes to 4 different receivers. In 2023 when he was injured he was on a pace to absolutely obliterate that record. In 2024, when he was benched, he was on a pace to break the record again. He was also the only quarterback in the league on a pace to have two 1,000 yard receivers. He was not only completing lots of passes but racking up lots of yards. In fact he was running third in the league in yards. All of that in a run first and only run in the red zone offense. Cousins will find a new home next year and return to his 2023 MVP form. There are plenty of teams out there that know how to use hs immense talents.

[@fosterbelevetz7951]

Two things I would say, though I am biased as a Redskins fan. Luvu statistically did not have the most eye popping season, but like Wagner was a leader on the defense, and made many clutch plays on crucial 3rd/4th downs throughout the season. Also, he wasn't listed, but Dante Fowler Jr. was lowkey a really nice acquisition for the Skins.

15:09 Anyone saying that runningbacks are obsolete and not valuable is not smart (and then some, but yt doesn't like mean words). Count the number of 3 and outs QBs have every game. It's usually at least 5. Good runningbacks turn those into field goals or better. The yards per carry stat ALONE turns teams competitive, and it keeps rising since 2020. It used to be around 3 yards per carry was normal, now you can see 3.7 to 5.

[@jonathanhay3212]

Its because passing is so much more valuable. Every single team has a higher yards per pass attempt than Henry does yards per carry. Not yards per reception, yards per attempt. So even including the incompletes, passing generates more yards per attempt on every team, than Henry gets per carry. If anything, good running is most valuable because it makes your passing better by forcing the defense to be honest.

@@pacificbanana6179passing has just been made way easier and for effective across the board over the last decade and a half.
