Cousins is going to be a monster with London, Mooney, Pitts and Robinson.
In Kirk’s first year with the Vikings, Stefon Diggs had his first season of 1,000 receiving yards (plus his second season). Also in Kirk’s first year in Minnesota, Adam Thielen is the only player in NFL history to start a season with the most consecutive games with 100+ receiving yards. And with Kirk as their quarterback, Diggs and Thielen gave the Vikings their first pair of 1,000+ yard receivers since Randy Moss and Cris Carter in 2000. And after Justin Jefferson got hurt, Kirk turned Jordan Addison into an immediate starter as he would have easily had a 1000+ yards had Kirk not gotten hurt. Kirk is one of those quarterbacks that’s gonna put in that extra work to build that chemistry as soon as he can, too.
Kirk is a great fit in Atlanta. He's deadly accurate and knows how to read defenses. With the skill players and Oline in Atlanta and their improved defense if they land an Edge Rusher they could take the NFC or at the very least win at least 1 playoff game which is a huge step forward for this organization
Now we have Darnell Mooney
Appreciate the video guys. Love the analysis.
Bro we finna go crazy 😂🔥 🔥 🔥
Excellent take as always, gentlemen! The NFL was already a boat load of fun, but the last 48 hours have stirred the pot in ways that only make things more and more exciting. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
What about Tyler Allegier??
Exactly like please don’t forget about him
Tyler a dog with all our weapons I think he is going to have a good year.
Kirk Cousins is a flame thrower man; Vikes blame him and will miss him.
I'm a Redskins/Commanders fan. We let Kirk cousins go and since we gave Kurt to the Vikings and since he left we have through only god knows how many people we have tried at quarter back. No telling how many times we would have been able to make the playoffs
Snyder s biggest mistake. And that's saying a whole hell of a lot when he never made a smart decision EVER.
I used to be a Skins fan, when they traded Kirk, i gave up...the fan base hated him, the owner hated him, and he never had a team there and still broke records! He was legit..Skins would easily have some division titles..
Vikings are about to find out F around with Kirk.... 36-62-1 since Kirk left 11 QBs including 1 1st round bust.
It's Matthew bergeron
thank you
Because they need a great hope down there in Georgia
I’m with you 😅
put some respect on MATTHEW Bergeron's name. Quebec's finest
I love Bergeron
Vikings fan here. Cousins is better than QB10 in the NFL. He has put up all those quality stats you talked about without an o-line and taking a beating every game. He had MVP stats with a slightly improved o-line the first half of last year. You didn't get a good quarterback you got a great one. Fun fact - since 1947 only 17 quarterbacks who have played at least 8 seasons have been higher above the league average in their own era than Kirk.
A rare Vikings fan that appreciated what Kirk did for that franchise. You are an intelligent football fan unlike so many Vikings fans that seem to have amnesia when they remember the seasons before he came there. The dude's the best quarterback all time in their history and every year the fans acted like every loss was his fault. And constantly talking about only having one playoff win. Like the dude played defense, called plays, made all of the front office decisions. He was only one man. One man that put up extraordinary numbers behind an offensive line that caused him to get hit on almost every pass play that they ran in the last 3 years. He's a hard worker, great teammate and leader and resilient as they come. Congratulations Falcons. If he stays healthy, it was money well spent.
I couldn't have said it better but I have actually started to think that the silent majority of Vikings fans knew what they had. Also Fran was the Man, Kirk has to settle for #2.@@coopersdad36
@@coopersdad36 Well said!! Vikings fan (and now a Falcons' fan, too)!!
The Vikings failed Kirk. By neglecting the o-line (for years) for the team's pocket passer, having one of the worst defenses in the league for most of his time there and ineffective coaching by Zimmer who instead of helping his quarterback and meeting with him weekly, openly disliked him, trashed him in meetings, fired his OC every year and didn’t surround him with talent to consistently win.
Ah…what could have been. Now we will never know. Until the Vikings realize that long term continuity at the QB position is the key to success, they will never win a Super Bowl.
KIRK CUHHH!
Cousins is a class act, an excellent quarterback that sees the field and makes quick decisions and super accurate throws. The local Minnesota media, being the loser, gossiping bitches they are, were a negative element during his time with the disloyal Vikings. I personally wish him well and hope he gets that Super Bowl ring. I didn't realize that he and his wife were from the Atlanta area. It's home for him.
Vikings fan here (and now a Falcons fan, too)....love Kirk!! That's my quarterback!!! I believe that most Vikings fans have always liked Kirk and wanted him back. The vocal minority was just that, vocal, and had delusions that they were the majority.

Atlanta better draft cooper LB from Texas A&M he's a beast and we need a solid LB. I get it we need defensive lineman, but man he could be a difference maker.
Cousins is an excellent QB. Glad to see him leave the Vikings.
What’s funny ever Viking fan is 😢 when they get in the car another man 🗑️ is another man treasure that’s 💯
What kind of shape is his ankle in??
Great pickup! Falcons lost 6 games or more in last minute! Forget window dressing, guy is accurate.others were not!!
Imagine a WR in round 1 or 2
How is no one bringing up Jake Browning as a QB option to grow a rookie behind?
He’s probably under contract. Idk
@@KFBALL247 he’s a free agent. Now you know.
@MacSinCityCollectobles - You are incorrect. Jake Browning is not a free agent. He was an ERFA and Cincinnati exercised their option to keep him on February 28th. A team would need to trade for Browning to get him.
@@YT-Holdings appreciate the info.
How does Cousins keep getting paid like this? What has he done?
He's like that!!!
@koopercupp523 White like that? Because Fields is younger better player. This is 🗑
Success for a quarterback can really only be measured by what they can control….their performance. They don’t play defense or kick the ball. You can’t pay a player based on wins because it’s a team sport.
So if a quarterback makes 70% of his passes for 425 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs, 0 sacks, 124 passer rating, but the game was close and the team loses the game because of a missed field goal, that’s really not fair to blame the quarterback for the loss. Even Mahomes said it's hard to get wins.
Kirk gets paid like he does because of his performance. Bridge / back-up / not good quarterbacks don’t get paid the big bucks because their individual performance is not great. Kirk throws 4000+ yards and 25+ 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.
The wins haven't been there because he' had bad defenses for most of his career. Those QBs that win a lot have top 10 offenses and top defenses every season and great coaching.
@@giamarshall6323 Fields is simply not accurate. He often misfired on slant and screen passes, resulting in many incompletions and missed yards after catch opportunities. As bad as the Bears receivers were at creating separation, Fields was equally bad at throwing to them. There were numerous instances of receivers getting open only to have Fields hesitate. There's a reason the Bears are probably gonna get rid of him or he gets demoted to a back-up QB.
Meanwhile....Kirk is one of the most accurate quarterbacks and is one of the best deep ball passers in the league, is clutch, can make all of the throws and throws his receivers open. If given time (actual pass protection), he can carve up any defense (ex. beat the 49ers, a Super Bowl team).
Oddsmakers have moved ATL to #6 team in NFC and from 7000 to win SB to 2500 and Vikings went from 3000 to 8000 when they lost Kirk.
Let’s gooooooooo⚫️🔴⚫️🔴⚫️🔴⚫️🔴
lets go where? our ol is not built for a pocket passer
@@Thataintitcoach ridder didnt have time in the pocket. think you should go back and watch a few games lol. seriously falcons dont have pocket pretection. chris limstrom is solid 8.5 for pass pretection outside of the they all 7s to low 8s. even heinekie got sacked 3 times in one game. our oline is great but for the run. why i think we need mobile qb.
@@drew388 If they aren't built for a pocket passer then how was Ridder able to sit in the pocket for like 5 hours before taking a sack or throwing a pick? You are blind if you think they he didn't have time. I've watched every game. You are full of shit.
@@drew388 In 2021 per PFF, Kirk was the league’s second-best quarterback while surrounded by the fourth-worst pass-blocking line. That was not just a one off. He’s been performing like that for years. He is the only quarterback in NFL history to throw 4000+ yards and 25+ touchdowns like clockwork every year despite not having a very good o-line that the Vikings neglected for years. He also throws darts while he is getting hit. The Falcons o-line is gonna be much better than the Vikings’ o-line. Besides that, when you have great leader (like Kirk), you’re gonna work harder to protect him.
@@Paula-mv8im 2021 vikings went 8-9 lol. like matt ryan empty stats. we need a winner. and no matt ryan had better seasons with a worse ol lol. how long you been watching football? matt ryan threw 4000+ yards 10 years straight with only 2 years under 25 tds with a 25th to 30th ranked ol
Kirk is top 5 when everything is going right. Hes top 15 when it is not. There aren't 10 QBs that throw the ball better than he does. People putting the likes of Trev Lawrence over him is laughable.
100% agree. Kirk is top 12 no matter what but when things around him are good, maybe 2-3 qbs that are better. not only that but besides JJ and Diggs, he has played on trash teams with awful oline play and worse defenses.
I thought kirk was going to stay in minnesota . Now wat will vikings do hmm draft jj mccarthy
Considering they are signing all defense guys in free agency. I wouldn't be surprised if they are going to use the draft capital they have to trade up.
@soithsidetone - After his strong combine, there are some analysts that believe McCarthy can be drafted in the top 8. I don't believe Minnesota will get him. They will probably wait until the 2nd or 3rd round to draft Bo Nix or Michael Penix or maybe another QB later than they feel has potential. Maybe Rattler or Slovis.
@@YT-Holdings Darnold is a bridge quarteback. I would say that they get an accurate quarterback (? Nix) and let him sit a year. I don't think Penix is accurate and then there is his injury history. When you go from a guy who hasn't missed a game due to injury in 12 seasons, you're not gonna want a guy with a significant injury history.
I see Atlanta 10-7 😢 they have to get pass rusher and safety and Ol rotation WR top quality guy to add to the offense need to get a QB the best we can get in the 4th round 😢
Please tell me what Kirk has done in the playoffs and how many playoff games has he played in? Correct me if i am wrong about this but I think he is about a 500 QB
@jimquast8186 - Kirk Cousins is blessed. That is clear. He has had incredible luck with his contracts. He is being overpaid but the contract is front loaded and the Falcons can release him after two seasons. It is a good idea to focus on winning now and drafting a QB to groom, which I believe is the plan for the Falcons. They need a WR2 now.
It's team game dude. He was also on a bad Washington team . Win-loss records are about the dumbest way to judge a QB's performance. People place way too much blame on quarterbacks for losses. Football is the ultimate team sport. Just because the team lost doesn't always mean the quarterback was playing bad.
So if a quarterback makes 70% of his passes for 425 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs, 0 sacks, 124 passer rating, but the game was close and the team loses the game because of a missed field goal,….must mean that the quarterback was just awful. Does that make any sense? No, it does not. Even Mahomes said it's hard to get wins.
Kirk has played well in the playoffs. His defenses have not.

Gotta remember he played with the trash ass Skins for lots of those losses.
We need tee higgins or xavier leggette and we contenders kirk only got to be top 15 qb and we have a team to be reckon with.

We are!!

Hahaha the stars are aligned. That's what the Vikings said in 2017. Six years later we have one playoff win. Enjoy Atlanta, we will not miss him here in Minnesota.
keep crying.
Speak for yourself big kirko the man. Vikes are gonna be dog water now 😊
Atlanta will be better than Minnesota next season lmao. Y’all bout to draft McCarthy and J Jettas is going to demand a trade.
@@KFBALL247😂😂😂😂 no lies told
Defense collapsed as soon as that NFCCG started and continued the collapse through 2023
Um... do you guys have Justin Jefferson too?
Pretty sure they were the favorites last year smh. Bucs play Cousins pretty well. We going for 4 straight ships💪
Atliens aren’t they excited I see😮
There are 180 million reasons why. That man is not worth 45 mil a year. $35? OK but not 45 as if he's an upper echelon QB who has exceptional skills and winning pedigree. Coulda used the addl cap space elsewhere. Ridiculous!
This contract makes him #10 in pay... That is very fitting
He was the best white qb availible after Russ went to the steelers
He gets paid that much BECAUSE he is upper echelon. You see his win-loss record and think that is how a quarterback's performance is evaluated. It's a team sport by the way.
If Kirko chains is healthy, hes a very good QB, no defense, no O-line . Hope falcons go all the way
Like 16-46 against teams over .500
Good luck in Atlanta Kirk. But I think it’s just going to be more if the same.
He’s going to do a lot better than the Vikings this year if they draft JJ McCarthy 😂
QB Win Loss Records LMAO
Maybe get a defense?
@@CHI-JORDAN-CHI maybe get a QB who’s offense isn’t leading the league in 3 and outs?
Most quarterbacks don't have a winning record against teams over .500 either. And those quarterbacks that do, have a top 10 offense and defense every season which Kirk has never had in is entire career.
Top 15 at best realistically
Name the 15 better?
When he got hurt he was top 3 in TDs, yards and completions and had won 4 of his last 5... Kirk's top 5

Can you take guys take over all the Atlanta Falcons content? Your insight and commentary are top notch. I can't watch Falcons today by chat sports and even worse Locked on Falcons videos. It's no wonder why both of those channels have a combined 30k subs because their videos are trash
Good now the vikings can finally draft a QB that will be on the same timeline as JJ. If we kept kirk JJ would be pushing 29 when kirk was done and we waste another generational WR
yeah.. cuz the vikings historically and kwesi do a great job of drafting qbs....jj will be out of there in 2 years
@immanueljones8023 sad but true, hey at least they are trying now
As a Falcons fan, this is karma for what we did to the Colts
Fields going to domino to Vikings
I would like to see that outcome. Seeing what Fields could do with DJ Moore last year, and in a KOC system, I really think he could flourish there.
@@chasesmay7237 Nope....he's not accurate and that is one of the most important things that KOC's quarterback has to be.
Why does the nfl gms keep giving Kirk Cousins millions of dollars? It must have something non football related … because when I see him play I see an average or below average qb. In Minnesota he had amazing wide receivers and Dalvin Cook in his prime and STILL did nothing
Average / below average quarterbacks don't lead their teams back from a 33 point deficit. Hmm...you think having one of the worst defenses for most of his time in Minnesota?
Don't forget about Zimmer.....his job as head coach was to get the most out of his quarterback. Instead, he undercut his play in coaching meetings and didn’t build around him. He fired his OC every year, he had terrible clock management, had conservative and predictable play calling (run, run, run, pass), was 32nd out of 32 teams in situational football, and had an outdated and prevent style defense that gave up more points in the final 2 minutes of each half than any team in history. He thought the best way to win was by building hard-hitting and punishing defenses that can shut opponents down. That failed miserably. Instead of his defense staying elite, it got worse every year and dropped to 13th to 18th to 27th to 30th. No quarterback is gonna win games when you have bad coaching and one of the worst defenses for most of Kirk’s time with the Vikings. The ONE year that Minnesota had a mediocre defense was 2019 and they went to the playoffs. But because of that mediocre defense AND bad coaching they didn't get far.
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.
Drake london stock going up, I dont think pitts will really be fantasy relevant, bijan going to be better too because better offense
Why not Pitts?
Cousins is like Goff. The reason he did so well with the Vikings was that they designed the offense to his strengths. Will the Falcons do that? Are they even capable? Does Cousins even know this? All unlikely. When you hear players talk about who they admire, most of _them_ don't seem to understand how play-calling affects results.
But we'll see.
@@choosecarefully408 does Cousins care when they are giving him $180 million? Lol
@@dh-uo4ltOh, _GOD_ no!! I was speaking from the Falcons' perspective. Well, that of their fans. It's amazing how short-term people's memories are, eh?
Before MIN Cousins regularly put up great *personal stats* but not wins. Now he's on a team that wastes talent. I know nothing about Morris, less about Robinson, but it seems like the Falcons hire coaches based on things other than them being good.
@@dh-uo4lthe can only cut one direction on his routes and lost all his explosiveness.
Still got a chance to get Justin Fields if Cousins goes down again with that achillies injury he is not a scrambler any way.
The fact that the falcons decided to overpay an old qb out of his prime in a draft with the deepest qbs says alot about the org's capabilities. They should have taken any of these qbs and did better than cousins. They re going to be right back to square 1 once cousins leave in 2yrs lol. What a joke the falcons are.
100 million?
The Falcons big thirsty.
You'll have a good season, make the playoffs then exit quickly. Lol
Kirk has played well in the playoffs...his defenses have not.
@Paula-mv8im Had he played well in the Playoffs you think the Vikings would've let him walk?
He's horrible in the playoffs. I watched him for 6yrs! Good riddance. Kirk can show you better than I can tell you. Lol
This was, without a doubt, the worst move by any team this year. Atlanta grotesquely overpaid Cousins. Atlanta doesn't have the cap space now to acquire or keep quality players. Cousins is a slightly above average quarterback. Atlanta wins 7 games. If they're lucky.
You are completely wrong, Cousins will not unite this team nor will he be consistent to lead the team. They have no cohesion and worse after Morris threw his players under the bus there off to a horrible start. Morris has lost the locker room and not sure he gets it back when you publically just insult your players. Players have lost all credibility for Morris it's sad.
😂broo I just give up wtf Falcons?
Matt was trash the last 3 seasons in Atlanta and when he left he just got exposed for who he is. This is Kirk’s last ride and he’s goin to go all out these last 4 years like Brady did in TB.
Kirk Cousins got hurt last season .. then all of a sudden the Vikings started winning with the back up QB1 😂😂😂
Yeah....for TWO games, then he got benched.
This is a good fit for Kirk cousins I do think he’s overrated they need more
On OL , DE and CB but overall I got them 7-10 again best case scenario can go 9-8 and make the playoffs but be personal I got the Buccnears still winning the divsion won’t be surprise will see
Fly Eagles Fly
The NFL Media is funny:
Kirk on the Vikings: Stat padding overpaid garbage time QB
Kirk with the Falcons: Immediately makes the Falcons contenders….
“Atlanta has all the weapons”
The Vikings have better weapons…
After the news broke, Sportsbooks moved the Falcons to 30/1 to win Super Bowl 2025 after opening at 50/1 prior. Atlanta now has the 12th-best odds to win the Lombardi Trophy.
Atlanta being dumb and stupid again. Could have had Justin Fields to build around that young offense nrthuow we got a 36 year old qb coming off an achillies injury for all that money for maybe staying arround for what 2 years and they are not going to be SB contenders, Justin Fields is only 25 yrs. old Could have had something to build around that young offense for years to come.

@@samuelsheff1007 this is the same franchise that did not want to "overpay" for Lamar last year due to "injury concerns from his playstyle". But they give 100m guaranteed to a 36 year old coming off an Achilles injury. Make it make sense.
@@Tariq-vn5oc This is Kirk's first time missing a game due an injury....in 12 seasons. Jackson won MVP and didn't lead in any of the QB categories (TDs, passing yards, etc). The receiver who had the most yards was under 900 yards. Jackson is a running back who can throw the ball.
Meanwhile...Kirk is one of the most accurate quarterbacks and is one of the best deep ball passers in the league, is clutch, can make all of the throws and throws his receivers open. If given time (actual pass protection), he can carve up any defense (ex. beat the 49ers, a Super Bowl team).

He gone get injured
Why would I pay good money to go to a Falcons game to see this crap?
Minnesota gave up on him for a reason !
The Vikings also never built around their quarterback (like every other successful franchise does), haven't drafted well, neglected the o-line for years, had bad defenses for most of Kirk's time there, and kept a coach (Zimmer) for way too long and after he created a toxic culture. Add to that, the GM would rather give big contracts / long term deals to everyone but the most important position...the quarterback.
How is it that Baker is being hated on for 3x100, when Kirk (I pad my stats with high % checkdowns) gets 4x180 and its praised?? Baker will lead Tampa back to the playoffs and win.
Because Baker is overrated and had ONE good season. Until he can put up consecutive, successful seasons and be consistent (like Kirk), he'll be overpaid.
Kirk has one of the lowest checkdown rates in the league. The Vikings haven't had any garbage time games for years.
tampa still number one
He not all that good overrated they should sign Justin field he be sack so munch

A $180 million dollar contract for a 35 year old journeyman QB with a 12 year career record of 78-70-2............Matt Ryan was better than both our QBs last year and have a better record than Kirk Cousin.................Matt Ryan was 4-6 in the playoffs in his career. Kirk Cousin was 1-3......
4--6 aint nothing to brag about. and ryan was 1-4 before the year shannahan carried him to the super bowl.
He was with Washington for 6 seasons (three seasons as a starting quarterback) and 6 years as the starting QB for the Vikings. That's the very opposite of a journeyman quarterback. Kirk is 1-3 in the playoffs as a starter, btw.

Cousins is drastically overrated. As a Vikings fan today is joyous.. I am so happy we saw that the difference between kirk and the other options isn't that drastic. I like where the Vikings are more than where the Falcons are..

@larry2timezlarry2timez66 it's not cope. There's a lot of vikings fans that hate Cousins. They blame him for years of bad drafting and cry about him on a daily basis in youtube comments.
Sad "fan"
As a lions fan, I am happy we don’t have to watch Kirk shred our Swiss cheese secondary again.
Raheem Morris is such an awful hire nothing can help Atlanta.
Calling it now the most overrated move of the offseason
Hmm...After the news broke, Sportsbooks moved the Falcons to 30/1 to win Super Bowl 2025 after opening at 50/1 prior. Atlanta now has the 12th-best odds to win the Lombardi Trophy.
@@Paula-mv8im sounds great lol won’t happen Kirk season will mimic Derek Carr first New Orleans season
