Naw, you misread me my friend.I'm glad you finally revealed what's behind this hatred of Cousins. It's really sad, but at least I see it now. You've created this narrative that no matter what he does, you will be mad at him and call him all kinds of names.
If it's all about money for Cousins, he will sign somewhere like Cleveland which is a dumpster fire for some insane amount of money. If he does that, then yes it's all about the money. Otherwise, I expect him to take into account winning and stability of the team.
I do not hate him. As long as he is playing for my team, I wish for nothing but good results. I just happen to believe we haven't gotten much for the money he's made so far. I think he wants even more. I think he wants to break the FA market. He's as much as said so.
He's a stat machine. Hell, he helped get me into the playoffs in one of my paid FF leagues. But in the real games, he's middle of the road. At best. I think he's doing/saying everything his agent has told him to. Agents don't give a rats ass about a team's best interest.
And it is about the money, when it comes to us. If you don't think he would have signed a contract for double the amount we offered, you're crazy. Never would have heard a word about "direction". It's a ploy, dreamed up by his agent, to him looking like the good guy in all this. I've watched his pressers. I've heard the things he's said. I'm sorry, you can't bullshit a bullshitter. He's playing the front office like a fiddle. For every cent he can squeeze out of them. They've been fool enough to let him get away with it. They've paid $40mil and got two seasons of subpar results.
So yeah, I've called him a Greedy Lying Bastard, because he want too much money (Greedy) He's not being honest about his intentions (Lying) and he and his supporters act like he's treated like a red headed step child (Bastard). I call him Crook, cause he's stealing money, IMHO. I call him #8 , or our current starting QB because he acts more like a mercenary that doesn't WANT to be here. UNLESS we pay him way above market value. I hold him, and the team, equally responsible for this whole mess. But, I root for the helmet, not the players. They come and go.
If we're going to pay the stupid amount he wants, in order to erase his Directionitus, then I want them to do it 5 minutes after the season ends. Make him choose right away, or cut him and move on. If he signs, he signs. If he doesn't, life will go on.
