Cam Newton discusses Kirk Cousins

As a Saints fan, I was always afraid to play against Cam.  Today, I think he is one of the greatest QBs the Panthers ever had.

Lol.  Saints fans always feared Playing the Panthers.  The Panthers, led by QB Cam Newton, always had the Saints number.

However, the Saints always had Atlanta’s number.

Cam looks like a Shriner in that hat.

cousins is no cam newton. he's no jake delhomme. he's got no clutch in him.

he's kind of a matt ryan lite.

With what they paid him i'd be fine riding the bench if I were him

I actually was reading something today that pointed out how Cousins could only get one year in Atlanta.

Don't remember the exact specifics, but think only about half of the guaranteed money going to Kirk in this deal was from a signing bonus, a lot of it is just guaranteed salary in years 2 and 3.  Which is the key in determining how big of a dead cap hit the team would have to take if they move on from him after 1 year in a trade.

They'd have to take a decent dead cap hit if they trade him next offseason, but with Penix on a rookie deal, it's easier for them to take that hit.

They can't cut him though, as cutting him would then put them on the hook for the guaranteed salary and give them a massive dead cap hit. 

He also has a no trade clause, so they'd have to get him to agree to it as well, but knowing this now, I wouldn't be surprised if they look to trade him after the season to someone like the Raiders or something.

Cousins is 3-0 in the Tepper era vs us. 

0-2 in the Richardson era

I mean, everyone enjoys a great record against Tepper's Panthers.

Yeah the Vikings beat us last year but Cousins was held in check.  12/19 139 yards 2 TDs and 2 INTS.  Their defense scored on a fumble recovery and they won 21-13.  Our offense was just garbage as usual.  Evero did his part.  We even scored on a pick.

Cousins does what a QB is supposed to do, he makes a team competitive. And he will. Just not sure that the rest of the team has enough in them to make it into wins.

Time will tell. 

We've got our own fish to fry.
