I'm good with an employee who flips the bird to a snake in the grass for a manager, especially if this doesn't hurt his future employment chances.

"Cousins has some of the biggest cojones in history...dude is drafted by a team that just made the most lopsided trade in history for a player at his position, somehow he manages to rise from the ashes and become a starting quarterback. Suffers repeated setbacks. Turns down 60M betting on himself and balls out. Now he's willing to repeat the process all over again if the team doesn't' fire it's the GM. Dude is fucking nuts..." - sailingdude12

If Cousins had big cojones, he would deliver during big moments such as the last game of the season last year when the playoffs were on the line.

I can understand if our dysfunctional team was running Jay Gruden out of town, that he would feel this way. But Jay, the coach who believed in him and gave him the opportunity (at the risk of his own status with the team) is still with the team and pretty much in control.

But this is all a negotiation ploy to either get the team to trade him. Because this is all he can do, he has little or no bargaining chips in this situation.

I'm just waiting for the narrative on this board to flip on a dime if this all goes to hell. "We have to do whatever we can to lock up Kirk" to "Well, he didn't deliver in the clutch. Good riddance!"

Yup. As soon as he's gone it will be "well he let us down when everything was on the line" and "screw him, he won't give us a discount after the team president lowballed him because he still doesn't believe in him."

Literally Bruce Allen is the reason why McCloughan is gone and also the reason Kirk doesn't like us/won't give us a discount at all. Until he's gone I don't trust the team. He has worked for us for 7 years, what's the excuse for the first 5? I guess that's solely on Shanahan, Allen had no power then huh?
