Kirk Cousins | The Most Interesting Man In Football

[@brickwallblitz]

Welcome, Falcons fans!

[@jacktupp4358]

Washington Fan here. To this day it amazes me how much Kirk gets dogged and was dogged at the time when he was on Washington. Washington did him real dirty with those consecutive tags and, despite being a fan, I was glad he was finally able to escape the abysmal situation in Washington. I really hope he's able to come back and get a shot at a ring. Forever a Kirk fan!

[@chicagodude8888]

What forever amazes me is letting a 29 yo quarterback with a pro bowl and a 25+ TD 4k season three peat walk in free agency. Not trading him for valuable draft capital, no extension, just letting him hit the free agent market like he’s Bryce Harper. A first and 2 3rds is the bare minimum that front office would’ve netted. Why did that happen?

[@MethSloth]

your franchise sucks dick but so does cousins lmao kneeling in the redzone while down was wild

[@ClearlyHunter]

@@chicagodude8888Because, wildly, some teams don’t care about making smart decisions. Trades, draft pick, etc… Some team owners only own a team because it’s extra capital and they give zero shits about if their team is good or not or who is in their front office.

[@lukeryan484]

Man I’m a Washington fan too and I really wanted him to get resigned.

[@venskus2009]

I love Kirk. I’ve loved Kirk. I’m a redskins fan. We gave up on him and ruined our trajectory. We’ve been endlessly spiraling since the departure of Kirk. Kirk has turned three recievers into some on the best in the league. Diggs Jefferson and thielen for a few years.

1:19 Kirk was playing at an MVP level before he got hurt though and got the team back in the playoff race. He was tied for 1st in touchdowns, 1st in pass attempts, 1st in pass completions, 2nd in passing yards, 3rd in QB rating, and 5th in completion percentage.

[@Revolver1701]

I like the guy. I’m a Falcons fan and would like to see him on my team. Also, I’ve been watching the Vikings since the Tarkenton era (go bulldogs) and I know how hard it is for them to win in the postseason. Not gonna judge Kirk based on that.

[@Paula-mv8im]

1:27.... I wouldn't call the Vikings contenders when their defense has been ranked 13th, 18th, 27th, 30th 31st, and 31st during Kirk's time there.

We’ve been endlessly spiraling since the departure of Kirk. Kirk has turned three receivers into some of the best in the league. Diggs Jefferson and Thielen for a few years. He actually can produce in the playoffs, his defense on the other hand. My observation immediately of Cousins was when he and a receiver made an awesome throw, catch, and touchdown; he NEVER would run down and celebrate with his fellow teammates. This speaks volumes at least to me. Good video bro, this deserves more views Love this video. His future with Minnesota is uncertain but I'd like to have him stay and retire here. Babe wake up I'm bricked up after watching BRICKWALLBLITZ AGAIN HE'S BACK BIG KIRKO Great video bro I just found your channel. I'm 2 minutes in but I can already tell you'll be huge. The franchise tag isn't as bad as it is treated. All of the money is guaranteed and it's a great paycheck for one season. The Vikings just went through what it is like without him and they love him all just went quiet LET'S GO Does anybody else hear that loud ass buzzing sound in the background Kirk is a great QB. The only problem I have with him is that he wants too much money for who he is. The amount that Kirk will want will lock the Vikings out of many key needs, and unless he is willing to take a pay cut, the best he has for Minnesota is behind him “Can’t produce in the playoffs when it matters”. Last playoff game he had 3TDs 0Ints an 80% completion rate and the Vikings lost because the defense got torched. It’s rarely cousin's fault when games are lost and he performed fantastic behind a terrible Minnesota Oline for years. Kirk Cousins is among the more polarizing figures in the league, a man who's simultaneously generic and goofy in both play style and personality. And beyond the lack of postseason success and seasons wallowing in mediocrity, there's something about Cousins' journey to and in the NFL that makes him so special. This video aims to take a look inside the mind of Kirk Cousins and appreciate all of his quirks on and off the field kicker for Washington Fans here he loves me give my hand give me the game ball. My observation immediately of Cousins was when he and a receiver made an awesome throw, catch, and touchdown; he NEVER would run down and celebrate with his fellow teammates.

Why’d you copy someone’s comment for the beginning of your paragraph?

[@ktto11]

What a great video, I like this better than the one by TubFrog, and I really like TubFrog's video too. This video presents a lot more nuanced take on Kirk Cousins.

[@brickwallblitz]

That part, just to be clear, is me describing the narrative behind Kirk Cousins, not me actually giving my thoughts on his postseason play.

[@Paula-mv8im]

You are obviously not watching your TV after touchdowns because Kirk ALWAYS goes down to the end zone to celebrate with his teammates.

[@subzero6798]

Great video bro

[@EinTeufelskreis]

I will now continue to refer to RGIII as Bob or Robert Griffin times three. 😂

[@rikmcdik6662]

Kirk is a guy who will absolutely make an average offense seem much better than it really is. But he’s not quite on the level where he’s going to single-handedly carry a team. He just for whatever reason isn’t always good against the best. He’s a lot like Stafford was on the Lions.

[@Paula-mv8im]

It may have seemed that way when he was on a crappy Washington team. There were SO many times with the Vikings/ Zimmer that Kirk had the team in a position to win but the defense would give the game away. It was a completely different story with KOC (as it usually is). In 2022, Kirk led the Vikings to a 13-4 season in 2022 with his arm despite having a 28th ranked run game and a 31st ranked defense and the greatest comeback in NFL history. In 2023, The defense was also still learning Flores' system for the first few games and weren’t causing turnovers like they did in the 2022 season. Once the rest of the offense and the defense finally got their crap together, Kirk’s' excellent play led the team to winning football (ex. beating the 49ers on MNF, without Jefferson in the lineup) and got the Vikings back in the playoffs. Kirk has also had bottom of the league pass blocking his entire time in MN which didn't majorly improve until the 49ers game last season. Burrow was a checkdown king last season. PFF noted that he had a lack of pass protection. But in Kirk's case, he gets stuck with "he just for whatever reason isn’t always good against the best." That's the Kirk Cousins' experience.

[@1wayroad935]

The Vikings just went through what it is like without him and the haters all just went quiet

[@OxyNotFoxy]

1 playoff win doesn’t really silence the critics. Especially since a 1 playoff win QB is now the standard for good Vikings QB’s. Jordan Love matched Kirk’s playoff wins in his first starting season. Kirk is a glorified stat padder who had the honor of JJ catching his passes.

[@Bdbdb736]

@@OxyNotFoxysuch a stupid take, shall I take the time to debunk it?

[@OxyNotFoxy]

@@Bdbdb736 Not a stupid take, Vikings are really trying to defend a 1 playoff win QB. Kirk is good, but not worth the money especially now that he’s suffered an ACL injury. Kirk’s regular season stats don’t mean shit for a franchise that have yet to win a Super Bowl. I don’t care about your ‘debunking.’ Kirk has become the standard for Vikings QBs and he hasn’t even sniffed the NFC championship round yet. Really shows you how desperate the Vikings have become.

[@Bdbdb736]

@@OxyNotFoxy crazy how everybody puts the Super Bowl blame on the quarterback instead of the team. Most teams would be thankful to have a consistent quarterback like Kirk but your fans shit on him. Oh well once he’s gone they’ll be in qb purgatory

[@OxyNotFoxy]

@@Bdbdb736 I’m not a Vikings fan. And if you think a 36 year old non athletic QB who now has an ACL injury and a 4 loss negative playoff record is the answer for the Vikings, than I truly hope Justin Jefferson requests a trade because his prime is about to be wasted in Minnesota.

[@seanc7342]

12:20 Which had the bigger odds Jefferson pulling another catch out of his ass like the one from the Bills game? Or TJ Hockenson breaking 1 tackle? You decide

[@BostonBori92]

That's not his fault that's WASH fault the franchise tags they gave him inflated his value then he outperformed them he himself wasn't a 30 mill QB but he was valued at that by his FA if they just extended him to a 20-25 mill deal he's fine

[@Paula-mv8im]

Remember…. in the 2023 off-season, Kirk offered to take less (than his 35 million) for a three year deal and the Vikings GM said no as he only wanted to offer Kirk a one deal and draft his own quarterback. All those stories before free agency that Kirk wanted “45 million” were people’s opinions and not based on any facts.

[@Paula-mv8im]

​@@BostonBori92 What he got on the franchise tag was his market value ..... which was for a starting quarterback in his prime with no injury history. 20-25 million is what a backup quarterback would have made.

[@BostonBori92]

@Paula-mv8im Not per year lol Backups are not making 25 mill a year maybe in a whole contract my point is WAS could have gave him a numeralical amount that would have satisfied everyone but they never believed in him so they tagged him and forced him to bet on himself which he outperformed tremendously so by the time he was a FA his market value was alot higher then what it should have been

[@Paula-mv8im]

​@@BostonBori92 How is his market value higher than it should have been??? I've read so many articles that it is unheard of for a quarterback in his prime with no injury history to hit free agency. Kirk gets paid like he does BECAUSE of his performance and durability. He throws 4000+ yards and 30+ TDs every season like clockwork. His career passer rating is 98.2. which is the 8th highest passer rating in NFL history…in NFL history. He’s 5th all-time in completion percentage. His passing yards per game also ranks 10th all-time in the history of the NFL.

Does anybody else hear that loud ass buzzing sound in the background

[@ecolunga]

LETS GO

[@damion1011]

Cousins will always be slightly better Andy Dalton

[@corsicacommander8371]

He's markedly better. Dalton had one great season and was mid the rest of the time. Cousins can put up the numbers with the best of them

[@shannonmitchell2692]

Kirk Cousins betrayed the Vikings. He was given a 100 million dollars! And the best he could was lose. Had the best three receiver trio by far. I guess a 100 million wasn't enough. Good luck with your new wideouts, and tight ends. They are not going to bail you out of your mediocre talent.

[@damion1011]

What year did he have the best we trio by far? The bengals have had a better one the last 3 -4 years. Dolphins last 2. Cardinals a few years ago etc

[@Paula-mv8im]

The Minnesota Vikings FAILED Kirk, plain and simple. #1 By neglecting the o-line in pass protection (it was bottom of the league under Zimmer) for the team's pocket passer #2 having one of the worst defenses in the league for most of his time there #3 incompetent and outdated coaching by Zimmer who fired his OC every year and didn’t surround him with talent to consistently win (like every other successful team does for their quarterback) The one year the Vikings protected the quarterback to the tune of average (in 2017), they reached the NFC Championship. But yeah, let’s blame the quarterback for the lack of wins like he’s a tennis player at Wimbledon. Forget the other 24 players who are on the field and affect the outcome of the game.

[@shannonmitchell2692]

@Paula-mv8im they gave him 100 million dollars...100 million dollars! And the vikings never sniffed a super bowl with him.
