Yep. Can't wait to see him lose to the better franchise. I'll be watching from my living room, beer in hand.
Yea this kinda sucks http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...gs-offer-kirk-cousins-3year-28m-per-year-deal
It's ok. We need to move on to the rookie qbs, and Teddy. We'll be laughing when Kirk can't even win his division year, after year. The Vikings have 1 good anamoly year, and he thinks he's going to win a SB there? Lol. Good luck loser.
What I don't understand is how we don't even get to meet with him? I was hoping once he tasted the cupcakes..... I guess all his talk about taking it slow and meeting with everybody didn't mean much.
They are going to sign Cousins and could miss the playoffs entirely. Look at who they play on the ROAD - Rams, Philly, Seattle, Patriots, Jets, Packers, Lions. If I am Mac I called Cousins agents and tell him 120 guaranteed just to troll the hell out of them
I will say that a 3 year contract for Cousins was not appealing to me. Especially considering where the jets are in the team-building process. It would have been extremely frustrating to sign him, then for the team to finally be reaching contender levels, when he leaves. The truth is that I am not confident enough in the jet's supporting cast to think that we would've been Super Bowl ready with Kirk within three years. I'm trying to look at the glass half-full here. The only way Mac redeems himself is to trade to the #2 or #3 spot and get our franchise QB of the future. I personally want that to be Baker Mayfield. Unfortunately, I am not feeling very confident in the front office right now.
Now this idiot franchise will go into panic mode, and drastically over pay, for some scab, oh boy another journey man back up, can't wait
Good perspective from Cimini “Missing out on Kirk Cousins isn't a disaster for the Jets. Actually, they'll be better off in the long run. Sure, he would've been an immediate upgrade, but he's not worth $28 million a year, fully guaranteed (reported deal with Minnesota) — at least not to the Jets. They've got a long way to go and Cousins would've been just another piece in the puzzle, not the final piece. He has posted some marvelous stats over the last three years, but he has no playoff wins and he's 4-19 against teams with winning records. So, yes, the Jets will survive without him.”
The NFC is so loaded, and injuries crushed that conference so bad last year, it was a stars aligning year for them to even make it that far. With that brutal schedule, and the playing field being even again, I totally agree.
Is it really a shock that guy making crazy $ the past few seasons on a shitty team chose a team that was just in the Conference Championship over one that was in last place?
As someone who now lives in the DMV area and unfortunately used to get mostly Deadskin games, I'm not the slightest bit disappointed. Kirk Cousins puts up solid numbers but I've seen him fold in plenty of games down the stretch. People also underestimate how much Jamison Crowder has bailed him out. Simply put, Kirk is NOT worth a fully guaranteed deal for that much money IMHO. Secure the bag Kirk. Best of luck in Minnesota. Glad it isn't my team.
Supposedly, Bridgewater is healthy. Many NFL cognoscenti said that he was just starting to play very well when he got injured. He is a leader and has great character. He would totally fit in the Jets new culture. He would be an excellent bridge to the rookie or would push the rookie to win the competition. Rosen could probably start day one. Mayfield possibly could, but more likely would need to sit for half the season. If the Jets wound up with Allen or Jackson, each would probably need to sit for at least a year. Bridgewater would also be great insurance in case the rookie winds up taking longer to develop or is a bust. If the rookie is as good as advertised, then the Jets could keep both, and have security, or trade Bridgewater for probably a 3rd pick or higher, or if he opted to walk as a FA, the Jets could get a 3rd round compensatory pick for him. I do agree that it might be harder for Bowles to start the rookie over Bridgewater than McCown, but the opposite could also be true. Bowles knows and likes McCown, and McCown knows the CS, players and system. Bowles doesn't know Teddy and Teddy hasn't played in 2 years, so probably has a fair amount of rust.
it's not about casual fandom, it's about building a team. a good GM won't buy into the tebow/manziel/mayfield hype
