Yea, tough break for that kid. AC joint on your throwing shoulder is no joke. He had some flashes of promise from what little I’ve seen. But as a running QB he sure seems kinda fragile.
Would you not agree that it's at least partially Sam's fault? Holding the ball too long? I've seen many NFL talking heads analyze him so far this season and they all say he's got that issue, that he wasn't stepping up when he should to help out his line.
I’ve been saying for a while now Howell is at fault for a lot of the sacks. Part of his issue is inexperience and part is he holds the ball too long. Holding the ball to long was a knock on him coming out of college.
I think we all agree it's a combination of both. That said when you are historically bad it's hard to pin that much blame on not historically bad o line.
Minnesota may not want to extend him if they think they’re going into a rebuild. There are a few interesting potential destinations for KC if he ends up leaving.
A lot could happen, but they were saying on ESPN yesterday that neither side is ready to move on and Cousins and family like their current city.
Can’t say I see Denver, LAR, or Dallas.
The 9ers are not going to gut their team to fit Mr. ‘f*** winning, I have to make the very last dollar’ on their cap.
If they think he's the difference between winning and losing the Super Bowl then who knows? Or maybe Kirk will decide that he's made already $236M in career earnings (not counting any sponsorship deals he's done) and any money after that has zero impact on his quality of life or the lives of his children but he's never sniffed a Super Bowl so he'll take potentially a little less to go play for a coach he likes on a team that can win it all. I don't disagree that Purdy's cap hit is a big advantage but if they think Kirk is better than Purdy - one or two other players then I could see it.
Sean Payton's ego is not going to wait around and watch his legacy burn with Russell "Broncos Country, Let's Ride" Wilson. My guess is Wilson is gone before the next league year opens so they don't have to guarantee his salary. Dak's contract is voidable after next season and if they have another successful regular season but underwhelm in the playoffs maybe they decide to go another direction. And yeah, I thought Stafford's contract was up sooner but forgot he signed an extension last year, so LA probably doesn't fit unless Stafford and/or the Rams want to move on.
The odds of Cousins not squeezing the last dollar out of his next victim of an organization AND the 9ers saying ‘we need to WIN now and the guy to put us over the top is Kirk f***ing Cousins’ is ZERO.

He has been hurt almost every single game…..because he plays a high risk style and the Colts are using him in that same style. Pretty much his entire rookie year is now flushed…..and for a guy already short on reps in his overall career…..headed in the completely wrong direction.
