"You can make the argument, i wouldnt support it, but you could make the argument" 😂😂
Mad dog got me crying saying Deshaun Jackson for the browns play 🤣🤣🤣
@@td5647 why are you commenting on someone who has a successful radio/TV career, you've never had a show therefore you have no right to an opinion
see how dumb this line of thinking is? not like you'd only get heart surgery from someone who has suffered a stroke
He combined Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson in his head 🤣
😂😂😂😂
@@kydost6167😂😂😂😂
Anyone has a right to an opinion. 😅@@mattcarberry368
Stephen A is not lost he telling the truth but y'all gone see.
Cousins is a 36 years old coming off an achilles tear and people think he'sjust going to bounce back like nothing happened. I feel bad for Raheem Morris
the media talks like cousin's achilles tear is a trivial ankle sprain. and he's 36. they are totally ignoring all of this. that's a major injury.
He's a pocket passer who doesn't run with an offense full of weapons.
@@jakjones8680he still needs his achilles wtf are you talking about 😂
@@jakjones8680whether you can run or not isn’t the only concern with an Achilles, you’re parroting the talking heads on this video. And just in case it’s parroted: Medicine being better today doesn’t make it much less concerning either. More than half of players with Achilles tears come back lesser at their job statistically than they were before the tear. Regardless of age and position. The one thing that plays in his favor isn’t the weapons around him, it’s that Atlanta had a great, mostly healthy o-line last year. Keep this in mind: They weren’t pass blocking a lot last year, which might shift how we perceive their o-line this season because they will certainly throw more with Kirk. I’m not saying he can’t have a better impact than Russ, just hard to reason why we would project that.
No but he’ll be better than both ridder and Heineke
25 passing tds in two seasons is so bad😂😂😂
It’s pure sadness 😭
Molly, what are you talking about. They are not talking about agents.
It’s molly😂
Molly please stop
Mad dog off one of them gummies saying Cousin’s has an argument as the 2nd best QB in the NFC 😂😂 it’s not even close
This fake skip be off his rocker 😂
Russell Wilson is not a scrub.
Where have I been, Kirk Cousins must have did something amazing to be getting the praise he’s getting.
He’s trash
Mad Dogg doesn’t support his own argument of Cousins being the 2nd best Quarterback in the NFC? Lol hilarious
Cousins fooled every NFL GM that he is a great QB, made over $300m and with 1 playoff win.
No he didn't...look at the numbers
Cousins is the best QB for Atlanta since Ryan.
The Steelers were 5-1 in the best division in the NFL. WTH is going on with these people?
Content
They say whatever they think will get the most clicks.
That defense is not that good.
@@bussyness1 “that defense” meaning the Steelers? Did you mean not that “healthy”? I’m sure that’s what you meant.
Steelers are 🤡🤡🤣🤣🤣
SAS definitely on the weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeddd with this take. The falcons will make more noise in the weak NFC than the Steelers are in the AFC
Ur crazy😂
Bro, SAS annoys me, but don't underestimate the Mike Tomlin power!!! They will win at least 11 games 😂
Russell ain’t been dat good in recent years but they acting like Russell ain’t a champion he knows how to get it done and Pittsburgh got the talent and they defense is scary especially if they get Justin Simmons at the safety spot w minkah
Nobody handing out lifetime achievement awards.. update your resume..
@@b84__ he’s better than Kirk cousins foh bruh
@@jadensimpson5791 the same Kirk Cousins with top 5 qb numbers the past 3 years? Since russ fangirls like numbers so much😂, and Idgaf bout either have a mid off idc🤣 but back to what i said.. update yo resume clown ahh boy
Deshaun Jackson is crazy 😂
He's gonna make name for himself this year💪
so many of these analysts think the steelers need to have a mahomes in order to beat mahomes. with that defense, all the steelers need is a guy who can reliably throw 1-2 tds a game and not give the ball away with bad positioning.
riddick is right -- Patrick queen is easily the biggest signing so far, and good luck trying to score on the steelers now because they don't have any major holes now. if russ plays the way he played even last year, the steelers win 12 games.
The difference is the chiefs also have a better defense, ranked or 2nd or 3rd last season. At the end of the day, you need a QB that can beat mahomes defense.
Russ wilson clears kirk cousins by a mile😂😂😂 idk why they think russ isnt a huge impact especially how he played in denver last year when they stank
Louis Riddick always adds credibility to this discussion. "Russell Wilson is not a force multiplier...". Brilliant statement
What is Riddick's problem? Cousins has not won any significant game. It is funny that Pickett, who won nothing, is better than Wilson. The excuses he gives Pickett he doesn't give Wilson. It is funny how Riddick has no problem with the Falcons paying Cousins, but he did not feel bad when the Falcons would not pay Lamar, but i guess he would take Cousins over Lamar.
Lamar Jackson was never leaving Baltimore. Baltimore could match Atlanta's offer, and Atlanta would've had to fork over picks. Atlanta would've had to give Lamar a Watson type deal. No way.
@robertbell6230 How is anyone so sure that Lamar would not leave Baltimore? So it make sense to pay an injured quarterback with an Achilles tear at 36 years old who has never won any significant game over a young quarterback who won an MVP for a few draft picks that may amount to nothing. Tell me this how much money would the Falcons have made on Lamar merchandise as opposed to Cousins. Remember, Cousins has been good at stat padding but not willing games. How many playoff games has Cousins been to compared to Lamar. Remember, KC gave up picks to get Mahomes, and Buffalo gave of picks to get Allen, but you as Atlanta would not give up picks for Lamar. Tell me you wouldn't take any of them over Cousins. Be serious. Cousins will have good numbers but no big wins.
Thanks@@robertbell6230
What signifigant game has Lamar won?@@Drew-DTM
@andrewfavrothjr.6038
KC was the best qb on the market. The owner is old and wants to win now. Falcons have skill players but no viable qb. The Ravens tag designation guaranteed LJ was coming back unless a team paid ridiculous amounts and sacrificed high draft picks. Atlanta was not in a position to do so. If they did, LJ wouldn't have a team around him. No team was in the LJ sweepstakes because it was evident Baltimore wanted him back, why all teams dropped out early last offseason.
6:03 MOLLY LOL
Atl were more so a QB away than Pittsburgh was. especially when you’re comparing the divisions. Kirk cousins would’ve won the falcons atleast 4 more games last season
People also forgetting that PIttsburgh also hired the Falcons scraps in a garbage OC in Arthur Smith lmao. Can't wait
@@Shaggy11152There’s a difference between being a OC or DC coach over a head coach.
We can joke about how bad of a head coach he was, but unlike a lot of OC coaches that get a head coaching job, they had good QBs running their offensive.
But Smith had Ryan Tannehill of all QBs look good, so again he haven’t prove he can be a good head coach yet. But guy shown he can be a good OC at least.
@@skullcruncher7218 got carried by Derrick Henry and AJ Brown not moved
@@Shaggy11152 Then guess you think all coaches get carried?
Because name me a good head coach or coordinator that had major success with no good players on their roster?
Also it doesn’t matter how good Henry and Brown are. Won’t go nowhere as a team if you don’t have good too great Quarterback play.
Been like that for years and this recent season shown that more than anything.
I’m confident that a lot of people will Ryan Tannehill is an amazing QB. Yet Smith got the job done with him of all people running his offense.
Says a lot about Mike Vrabel too and crazy he doesn’t have a head coaching job. But that’s another conversation
Russ wilson clears kirk cousins by a mile😂😂😂
I’m far from a Russ fan, but SAS cooked on this one, even if Russ never starts. I like Louis’ counterpoint about Pickett not getting a fair shake, and the point about Queen, but that also proves the answer is Russ between the options provided, even if it’s a competition for starter. That would mean his arrival forced Pickett to be better than Russ which is a huge impact from last year. Kirk is gonna be good, but Wilson’s impact is way more important rn. And on a vet minimum, which means every other free agent they can afford could even be indirectly credited to Russ’s contract
If i see that Gronk USAA ad one more time😤
Steelers were 5-1 in the AFC North last year. Steve A is right! Swept Ravens & Bengals with no Quarterback!
I actually like what Rudolph did last season when I watched him, but I didn't watch much Pittsburgh, so obviously their fans know more about him than I do
7:48 I hope a lot of people will remember this part from SAS a year later😂😂😂😂😂
I always wonder when people put bets on Steelers finishing last in their division do they just love flushing money down the toilet for 30 years.
Notice how Molly never tells SAS he’s too loud lol?
She’ll be the next Max Kellerman.
As a steelers fan, Kc is the only team we honestly would rather avoid in the AFC n even then I’ll still take our chances 😂
Molly, commenting on how loud Stephen A was made me laugh. She's right though. He wastalking he doesn't have a mic. 😂
Awesome skill position players are awesome no matter who the quarterback is . Saquon, Mike Evans, DJ Moore…etc
I’m usually behind Louis but not this time. He has not watched the sadness that is the Steelers QB room over the past few years…and Kirk has never won anything. The definition of empty calories.
They disrespect us like we weren’t 1 game behind the ravens
Second best QB in the NFC?
Yes. Because he is.
they be saying anything lol
@@Shaggy11152NO HE'S NOT
@@deshawndodd7883 and who is better? Tush Push merchant Jalen? Regular season warrior Dak? Derek Carr???
@@Shaggy11152 purdy, goff, jordan love......just to name a few😂😂😂
Louis Riddick’s love for Pickett Is equivalent to skip and baker
I love how Molly snuck in "From New York" smh😂 SAS
It’s Purdy, Cousin, Stanford and Goff in that order in the NFC
Yea SAS let em know #HEREWEGO ✨
“I’ll take it any way I can get it” at 5:20 is wild
The Steelers are 4th best in the afc North??? When tf did the other 3 start dominating Pittsburgh? Did I miss something? They say anything 😂
Love the energy Louis Reddick..just didnt expect it 😂
It’s never so loud for you not to interrupt, Molly.
Louis Riddick is apparently one of the only people who actually watched football the last few years. Optimism is great, but the rest of y'all need to stop acting like 2019 Russ is coming to Pittsburgh.
Stephen A. it's only a soliloquy if one is speaking to themselves.
The word you want is 'monologue'.
You're welcome.
Arthur smith is still running the offense in Pittsburgh, that dude is terrible. 🤦🏾
The Purdy disrespect! You gotta be kidding me
Hurts is the best QB in the NFC
Compared to the AFC quarterbacks he’s nothing. Just a game manager carried by better team mates and the most loaded roster
@@youtubeistryingtocensorme Hurts outplayed Mahomes in the superbowl despite the loss. Mahomes came out after the game and gave him the respect he deserved. Jalen’s the Truth.
@@Ellis1993 42-19
Side note: Stephen A and Molly are Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez. Molly gon start sayin "Steebie"lmao
Not Deshaun Jackson 😂😂😂
Thats why we play the Game 😢😅😅😅 will see!
Stephen A is so bias about the Steelers lol
Louis just be talking
SAS Who was Falcons QBs last year????? Right
I actually agree with Stephen a. With competent qb the Steelers could be dominant. They do not struggle against division opponents. Russ this past was better then any qb play the Steelers have had in awhile. They will definitely make noise.
Can't wait to hear what Stephen A. has to say about the Justin Fields acqisition.
Cousins is not the 2nd best qb in the nfc.
I’m a die hard Ravens fan and RW as the Steelers QB terrifies me. That team is 1 QB away from making some serious noise.
0:27 no support any qb in nfc is top #2
Will see, thats why we play 😢😢😅😅😅
I wish Wilson would turn back the clock, he still has the ability, and shut these haters up ( not Stephen A.)
Cousins is Wild Mad Dog just like trolling
If you’re point is because how bad the QB play has been in Pittsburgh what can I even say about Atlantas QB play like what it could be even pointed to as worse than the Steelers over how many years.
🤯Kirk cousins+ Drake London n Kyle pitts and Robinson when u think about that way .....man
Not sure why they make segments like this - two valid but different opinions means this descends into a bun fight. Would be better to sometimes discuss things in a useful way, not resort to shouting
This aged well for Stephan A actually lol
I'm rooting for Russ in Pittsburgh. Be a nice story if he manages to make it work. He's certainly got a lot to play for.
2nd best is a reach, cousins is a good QB, but he's not elite, dude is a #9 on PFFs list I feel he's in the 12 ball park which is clearly above average and in the good QB territory. Mad Dog out here saying he's elite is wild.
Quit hating on Kirk. He made 49ers defense look pedestrian.
The steelers are a better team than the Falcons. If Russ can manage the games, with Tomlin's coaching anf that defense, they could contest for the division
Are we they really thinking Kenny will start over Russell Wilson ?😂
I'm a Falcons fan. Kirk is maybe the 4th-6th best QB in the conference. Russo is insane
The disrespect on russ is KRAZY, but he brought it on himself when he didn't choose ATL (the place his WIFE) is from. Happy wife, happy life.
Did anybody else but me just learn that the Steelers are a Russel Wilson away from competing with the top teams in the AFC 😂😂😂😂 SAS has to be high
Who is paying these analysts to pretend like Cousins’ achilles injury isn’t a big deal?! He tore his achilles 5 months ago and he’s 36 years old. Idc how much of a pocket passer he is that’s not something an almost 40 year old man just bounces back from. Especially to the level he needs to be a playoff QB
You didn't bring russel Wilson in for a year to sit him down. It's his job, look at last year's numbers, there is no competition.
Only one up there that really knows football is Louis Riddick Real Talk
Why are people acting like Kirk Cousins is big signing? It's just a Vikings repeat:
Deceptive good regular season, horrible in primetime, trash in playoffs. Wash,rinse, repeat
Cousins threw 4 interceptions against the lions 😂 he’s probably the worst out of the bunch
Stephen A is gonna brag so bad if Wilson goes and flips around the Steelers season. They calling him crazy for even saying Russ
Russel Wilson is a proven quarterback who is about to play in a proven system. Can’t say the same for the falcons and Cousins
Darnold is gonna ball out w Jefferson.
i always thought cousins was overrated. they said wilson aint gonna make people neither is cousins. not every qb is tom brady
When it comes to when it matters or playoff time, Kirk Cousins is the definition of not good enough.
SAS was born chatting it up with the attending physician. With his adult teeth already in place.

Thats an absurd argument to say that there will be a QB competition in Piitsuburgh. There is NO doubt Russ gets that spot. Thats actually an embarrassing argument to make
why does nfc have no qbs
DeShaun Jackson …. ??? Come on Doggy .
Jared goff has more playoff wins in Detroit in one year that cousins has in his whole career put some respect on Jared’s name
Lamar Jackson free agency vs Cousins free agency 👀👀👀
These folks aren't trying to be correct, they're trying to be interesting
I agree with SAS, Kirk is Majorly overrated, should be a crime. A SB winning qb vs a qb with one playoff win coming off an Achilles. wtf are we doing rn 😂
Stephen A clearly is lost!. The falcons paid Cousins to start. Wilson might not even start for Pittsburgh.
It’s always black and white with Stephen A.
Stephen a knew he was wrong
Pit owns Baltimore tho
Russ might not even start, how is he gonna have a bigger impact than Kirk?
So…. Caleb will step into the league as the second best quarterback in the NFC. The Bears are in a tough spot
Maddog "Chris Russo" is the best thing that ever happened to First Take... Must watch TV Wednesday's.
Steven A knows nothing it's amazing he's allowed to run his mouth day after day oh wait it's espn
He's entertaining and you're watching, which proves he's entertaining.
He's right about this though
@@mattquinn2215 maybe I didn't listen to him I'll check it out because at least 90% of the time he's just talking to talk
