Im the 1st to say- its outside the box thinking.
Yet, what am I always asking from the vikings?
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!
Chris simms coming into the draft." I like Michael Pennix, a lot. But hes going to need to sit & learn for a year or 2." Atlanta drafts him, where, Penix likely sits a year or 2.
Now Chris Simms take is, " What are they thinking? Penix sits for 2 years. Hes 24 now, so he finally gets to start at age 27?"
Talk about- talking out of both sides of your mouth.
Unmentioned by anyone. In atl division. Tampa gas mayfield for a few years, Bryce Young might wind up being a good qb, in 2 years. New orleans will be moving on from Carr in 2 years. They wound up drafting Rattler. Would they have drafted Penix at 14 if atl hadnt & the raiders, antonio pierce stayed focused on improving their roster.
Was there intel that the saints were targeting Penix/Nix. I had the saints taking a qb, if one was available.
Add in- the qb classes coming in the next 2 drafts dont look great, and your 36 yr old achilles qb is the guy that nearly everybody sez is junk. I dont see him playing a 3rd season in ATL. I doubt many do.
And if the theory is- Grab your franchise qb when one is available.... It really becomes, they were udiots signing kirko. Lol, which I thought they were in the moment- at the price they GUARANTEED.
STILL? 3yrs, $90m guaranteed. In todays qb market. Is cheap for a franchise qb. Market rate for a good qb that might have a handful of WOW games.
Florio criticizes BC kirko is going to be angry except. If anybody can ve told- " who are you to criticize" - ," get it when you can". Be it the players money quest or the teams qb quest. Its a 2 way street BIG TIME in 2020's. You wanna be paid kirko?- loyalty means nada. We agree. Btw, we drafted your replacement, bc loyalty means nothing
Hearing it from Florio- who sucks up to every player in the league via his never ending "pay the guy, you can pay them all" takes. Who criticized Cousins for being a loser ever year except post niner game 2023- its just precious!
Integrity? Florio? Not in his vocabulary.
Florio, talking about kirko, " I feel bad for the guy."
How can anyone feel bad for $90m guaranteed.
Im one of the very few that liked kirko. I dont feel sorry for him at all. And neither am i gloating. Live for the Ca$h or dont. Live for winning & your team, or dont. Just dont waffle betwixt. They are seperate lanes.
If you had been a fan of the falcons through the arthur smith era- forced to watch the misery of his schemes and how it stunted qb's. Starting the next regime with a solid starter that wins you 10-12 each year is most assuredly a very good thing. Knowing hes a longshot to be effective in his 3rd or 4th year...& 60-40 maybe to even comeback effective after his surgery. That just as assuredly makes drafting Penix a great out of the box move. Fk Cousins ego. There is one thing these guaranteed contracts arent fullt guaranteed for. Well 2 if you add death/retirement. That one thing? Conduct detrimental to the team. The team can deny those paychecks, with league approved suspension... So kirko- suck it up. You told the entire league. The love you desire is shown via the dollar sign, a digit & 7-8 zeros.
