It’s funny they talk about Kirk not having a history of winning and then bring up Justin fields and how he can help any franchise win😂😂
I wish Kirk had at least 1 Super Bowl. He’s so good man. Very underrated. Very accurate.
Seahawks?
One of the few black GM’s in the league and Shannon don’t know his name smh come on now unc
@NightcapShow_What about the NY Jets going in on Justin Fields? Rogers can't last more than two years right?
The Falsons signed Matt Ryan again.😂
Shannon, normally I agree with you, But Fields would not have been better option
Thats i think they go and get trent from dallas cause cowboy dont have enough to pay him, Micah and cd
We just need a game manager and we got with kirk the oline is not bad. Fields not a strong throwing qb.
kirk is the new tony Romo..great at regular season ..playoffs…not so much
Atlanta should have got justin feilds
Yall need to stop with this nonsense. Justin fields staying i ok n chciago and we gone draft Marvin Harrison Jr
But he has an advantage over the other qbs since he was franchised early in his career
What have you done for me lately is the NFL thing. I guess Jerry Jones didn't get the message
The falcons will make the playoffs but that's it. The NFC South is weak. Field would have been a better fit for the long run. 180 million to get eliminated in the first round
What did Minnesota do during his time there?
As a QB Cousins is a bum
The falcons staff is on crack and the nfc south has the worst qbs in the league
The falcon’s will always go after a useless qb after Vick left! They had a chance to get a qb in Lamar Jackson who may have helped them get further in the playoffs, with this offer they will continue to be the loosing team they have been.
I agree with Unc, Justin Fields would’ve have been home and since UGA days he always get questioned on his skills. The guy plays in Chicago, any qb who can last in Chicago can play anywhere else with skilled players surrounding the qb. Hint: protection for the qb!
Kirk been making they bank ever since the guaranteed money
“Kirk Cousins has now made $330million guaranteed dollars all the while he’s won one playoff game”
The NFL has the harshest rules for Black QBs.
It’s different rules for White QBs.
If U’re White: You do just what u want and still get a job like: Mac Jones, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, Be old like Joe Flacco, etc.
U can’t tell me that: Cam Newton can’t have a Backup job, but Mac Jones, Sam Darnold, Joe Flacco,& Baker Mayfield’s can still play. It’s discriminatory. Call it out!
Cam has followed rules. Mac Jones showed out on the Patriots & they did everything to get him another job. They didn’t help Cam do nothing. Folks know this. Folks like Skip Bayless have scarred Cam
with his nasty labels. He didn’t want Cam to get drafted #1, the Heisman, etc. Cam is a great guy & athlete. 🙏
All of ya'll made it to the league because somebody helped you and liked you. Somebody likes Cousins. It's millions of guys that was great high school players, coaches didn't give a damn about college All Americans cut from the NFL that never really got a fair chance. NFL players won't admit it. They know.
The same was said about Matt Stafford before he won. Same about Matt Ryan before he went to the super bowl.
Fields and his agent needs to look at emerging situations that may be a fit, such as the Rams, Seahawks, New Orleans, Giants, Raiders, Titans.
Shannon the word is field gotta see the person open before he let it go and he said he doesn't want to read defense make it simple, what quarterback said that 2 succeed, watch film like the NFL experts said before you say Field would do better running not throwing,do your research…
They should have given Cam and opportunity. It would have cost the falcons less money
How does Cousin keep getting these big contracts with one playoff win
Some one please tell me what's the difference between him and dax. Kirk had a runnimg back snd still come up short.
"You wanna lose her to the next door neighbor"
😂😂😂
Damn so yall saying they should of paid cam that 180 lol jp
Who else will spread the field better that was available? Bijon will be a MF ROCKSTAR with a spread field. Remember Chris Chandler and Jamal Anderson?! We do
I WISH THE FALCONS WOULD LEAVE MY CITY. SHEESH
I don't understand, I don't get it!!!
How in the " H " is a quarterback named KIRK COUSINS who's been in the NFL 12 yrs, has only 5 playoff appearances and only 1 win in the post season KEEPS GETTING GUARANTEED MONEY?
Someone please explain why this dude who's not even in the top tier of qb's keeps getting teams to pay him as if he's something to fear or take to the Super Bowl?
Minnesota
Unc really. You were calling him kinfolk kirk, 5 chainz kirk, and plus Atlanta hasnt sniffed success since 2016
Giants for Feilds is an option
I just want people to keep this same energy when Deshaun doesn't win cause we were told by everyone that he's gonna put Cleveland back on the map again. So far I don't see the results based on what he's getting paid. Texans got rid of him and now have a winning quarter back so this notion that paying players a whole lot of money cause they can throw far or are a lil more athletic than others doesn't seem to result in winning hence Lamar. I'm not a super fan of Patrick Mahomes but the results speak for themselves. Same goes for Burrow who I like a whole lot of money with one Superbowl appearance as Shannon has always said it's not what you have done but it's what you add to your resume currently.
So I was a Viking fan. Kwesi just blew up my team. The Vikings would have been a Super Bowl contender this year if they had kept Cousins and Hunter.
Who did Atlanta just acquire? The Top Viking QB in History!! See evidence below!!
Cousins is the all-time leading QB in Vikings history for QB Rating (101), Comp% (67.93%), Yards/Game (264.4), TD% (5.6%), Int% (1.8%). He is top of the list in all of these categories of all Vikings QBs including Brett Favre, Daunte Culpepper, and Fran Tarkenton. Some will say, "Well he did not win games". Those people don't know what they are talking about. The top all time winning % QB for the Vikings is Brett Favre, and he only beats Cousins by 1 game, and if you look at just QB who were with the team longer than two years, Cousins is easily the top all time winning% QB for the Vikings period. He will definitely be in the Vikings Hall of Fame. Playoffs? Remember – football is a team sport. He has never had a good offensive line and has only had a good defense once (2018) in his career, and he as only had the same offensive coordinator two years in a row once (2023) in his career.
By the way, Cousins beats Matt Ryan in all of these same stats (career wise) but does not beat Ryan in winning%, but one must remember that Cousins was on the hapless Dan Snyder Redskins team for 6 years. Post Redskins, he had a better winning% than Matt Ryan.
I am now a Falcons fan!!

Something doesn't feel yt…. I mean right about this. Everybody and their momma knew Fields was the perfect fit for Atlanta. But because he reminds them ( and by them I mean YT ppl) of Michael Vick and for some odd reason they are trying to distance themselves from the one man who made them relevant since Deion Sanders left is beyond me.
Until they do right by Vick everything they try will fumble…. I mean crumble!
I predict Fields to the Steeler’s 😜
And now Fields is gone. One of the craziest off seasons I can remember
Shannon, good thing you don't have somebody to call you out on some of your BS. Football is a team sport, you know better than me. John Elway or Tom Brady would not have a significantly better record or playoff wins, if they played on the teams that Cousins did.
Welp, multiple coaches (4) Zimmer, Stefanski, Kubiak, Oconnell) and coordinators in 6 years, turnstile o line, piss poor defenses, spotty running game. Any other qb people would report this but I guess Kirk is the one exception and must be perfect at all times to prove value. The Vikings kept building from the outside in getting skill positions and staying weak up front on the lines. If you know anyone with real success that way the public would like to know. Who cares if billionaires pay out? Ain't like they'll be broke.
