Kirk Cousins Still Being Influenced By Shanahans?!
How the QB Collective Has Been with Cousins The Whole Time
Kirk Cousins has been sort of the face of the “average” NFL QB. Good to great, but elite?
Statistically, he has actually been one of the top QB’s in the NFL. Part of the reason for that is that he seems to always put or find himself in the right environment.
That started with being drafted by Mike Shanahan to the then-Redskins, but Mike seems to have had his finger prints on every move since then.

Brandon Aiyuk Trade Potential:
Personally, I think trade rumors are silly and super fluid. But I also understand A) give us SOMETHING NFL, and B) Aiyuk is directly involved in the fueling!
This is such a fascinating situation because the 49ers environment is widely regarded as one of the best in the NFL, and one I have seen it up close and personal (evidenced by the video above).
But Aiyuk has been in Shanahan’s dog house before, and one wonders if winning is sometimes not enough to satiate everyone involved. These players need to make a living and sometimes environmental comfort matters more the uncomfortable winning.
When the Dolphins hired Vic Fangio prior to 2023, it was lauded as better than most player-focused additions to NFL teams.
The shine quickly wore off of that apple as he left after one year amid feuds with stars like Jalen Ramsey, and clear philosophical differences between him and head coach Mike McDaniel (odd given their QB Collective connection).
Enter Anthony Weaver. This will be interesting, and this is always the time of year where players hype up the new system and how friendly it is.
Just don’t forget to expect a learning curve given what will be a brand new environment on that side for the ball for Miami for the second time in two years.
Joe Burrow Searching For Motivation:
It’s the time of year where obvious MVP candidates have to pretend that no one remembers who they are because they were injured.
Except Burrow is always injured and no one has forgotten him. Nor is anyone surprised by the bravado coming from him as that is a huge element to how he plays the game, as opponents know given how much he talks (ask the Chiefs).
Burrow is a top 4 NFL QB and no one has forgotten that. For him it is always about whether or not he can stay healthy. Most are excited for his return.
