Vikings deadass couldn't afford him though
He was the best available FA on the market at the most important position, he's not in Minny anymore because he got cashed out elsewhere. Not because they didn't want him anymore

I’m not saying he’s gonna be a top 10 QB or win a SB. He’s affordable and has insane amount of potential. Teams need to stop overpaying QBs that aren’t gonna do ****. Kirk is old, they not winning a SB with him. Better off getting a cheaper option and seeing if you can tap into that potential.

That's a huge boost for Harbaugh and them, thought they'd lose one of him and Bosa at least for sure
1. Kirk was surrounded by talent ON OFFENSE. Kirk, Thielan, Diggs, Cook, Hockenson, and JJ all put up numbers every year.
2. You acknowledge that football is a team game when making excuses for Fields being trash but then you turn around and neglect that fact when discussing Kirk. The offense wasn't the problem in Minnesota, it was the defense.

The Lamar situation was basically spelled out for everyone by the owners
Had nothing to do with whether teams believed in him or not

He’s better in a smaller role. Relying on him as one of your premier rushers prob doesn’t work but he def still flashes in a rotation. But yea, def one of those dudes who doesn’t always play hard.
Seems like an engagement thing with him WAY more than his actual skill level. Seemed legit happy to be on the team. And was really good.

If Fields was good Chicago wouldn't be drafting a QB. They'd be going after MHJ or trading the pick/trading down to get dude some help. If they thought they had a a good 25 year old, mobile QB they wouldn't be moving on. Sounds like they don't even want him as a back up but might have to since there's no market for him. He can't even fetch a Mac Jones return
Pat Mahomes and Tom Brady have won 90% of the Superbowls the last decade. Most QBs are "gonna do ****" using your logic. Justin is cheeks. Y'all just gotta accept it. Also every player in the NFL has talent and potential, why do y'all keep saying this about Justin as if it's exclusive to him lol

He forgot Kirk played for a trash organization (Washington) and was still having 4000+ yard seasons
He was putting up great numbers with Jordan Davis, Pierre Garçon, James Crowder and DJAX
Kirk is great at spreading the ball around (pause)
Can reading defenses be improved upon? Sure but it's very, very rare especially if you haven't learned to do so by year 3. I didn't even mention his terrible throwing mechanics but thanks for adding that to my list... Lastly, you didn't address his inability to throw receivers open which is an anticipation thing and is something you either have or you don't.

Why would they keep him as a backup and draft a QB? This makes no sense at all.
How many times did Kirk get sent home by one of those two QBs? It’s a team game but he hasn’t done enough on his end. He didn’t lose the game against the Giants, the defense did. He also had to do more. Elite QB is doing more in that game. You giving him a pass like he was constantly in the championship game and getting sent home by a better QB.

Bears also have one the best home field advantage factors in the NFL and play in the elements…. And dude still can’t win games.

He didn't have a great situation in Chicago but most 1st round QB's typically don't go to good ones in generalIf Fields was good Chicago wouldn't be drafting a QB.

.I feel if he had shown more he'd either still be their guy, and they'd use that top pick to build around him, or on another team by now with a chance to start instead of getting Josh Rosen'd.
Don't think the team handled him well last season but I don't think he helped himself either with some of the comments he made about the coaching during the season that he immediately had to walk back.
Best case for him now is to land somewhere with an established QB where he can either learn from as a backup and step in when required or go somewhere with competition and try to win the job in camp.
Doesn't look like he'll get a shot to be the starter again right away like Mac as things stand
I hate that Kirk joined Atlanta already. These cats had Desmond Ridder as their QB and they're upset that their team didn't trade for Desmond Ridder for elite athleticsim(Fields)... Fields is literally the same QB he was when he was drafted and the only reason reason these cats are giving me for wanting him is because he's young, black, and has potential. You can say that for Kellen Mond, Malik Willis, DTR, too....

Established QB with zero playoff success in 12 years???? I could care less about Kirk Cousins and his 4000 yrd seasons thats only good for lining his own pockets and winning meaning less regular season games.
What part of I'd rather have a young project on my team than an old QB, coming off a major injury, who can't win games in the postseason??

Man hell no this isn’t true. This is the NFL we’re talking about. Not college football. Even when the falcons suck the stadium is gonna have at least 90% capacity on average for the season
If baller ain’t talking timbs im not listening!

Lowkey I think this is true. The stadium has been dead. Maybe not empty but energy wise it’s been dead for years and only fills up for saints games cause of how heated that rivalry is. It would take a lot to bring the enthusiasm back and in all honestly Kirk ain’t that kinda guy to do that, exciting is the last word anyone would use to describe him. Not saying he needs to be or that’s a necessary thing but it is what it is. I worked there for years in college and people spent more time on the concourse than watching the game.
People gonna need to see this team winning some games and actually look like they going somewhere before becoming invested again

Those elements not helping anyone and home field ain’t what it used to be.
Fields got drafted and everyone immediate reaction was, this is the wrong team for him. They’re a disaster. Coaching staff and GM getting fired. We still don’t even know what happened to their last DC, do we? Not to mention everyone wanted Flubber fired this offseason. With all that said, they should move on from Fields but he was in one of the worst possible situations any QB could be in.

Y'all say Chicago didn't "coach him up" but when Getsy tried to do just that, this fool went to the media and said "He out too many things in my head"
Which other players agreed with but rock on
