Shocking Stats + Super Bowl Reactions, Cooper Kupp-It!- Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/15

He has this big serious monologue here. He goes, or maybe he's at dinner. Yeah, it was great. Yeah, the problem, JJ is the scrubbing of the social media stuff. Yeah, I mean, he's going to be back and play quarterback for the Cardinals. I totally understand it. That's like, that's a pro move like PR wise by JJ to try and pull some heat while he maybe, hopefully he's trying to actually call up Kyler and be like, dude, we can't.

We can't be operating like this. Yeah, I mean, he's definitely a different generation of quarterback. Yes. With his, you know, he's obviously got all the gaming interests and like he's a quieter kind of leader, not a prototypical one. So I don't know what the real story is. We don't know either. We'll give you fantasy breakdown of something if it happens. Yeah, I mean, that's part of where the problem lies is that.

You know that he is aware of the buzz that he has created. Correct. It doesn't go out and fix it. Yeah. Yeah. You are intentionally letting that hang out there, which is. So a good leader does. This is sending another statement. About his immaturity. Yeah. That's unfortunate. Yeah. And this was probably, who knows? It could have been provocated by, let's get this next contract. Maybe. He just sits down until he gets it. Could you imagine Sean McVeigh right now if he was the coach of the Cardinals just.

casually sitting on the sideline like he he holds his players accountable i feel like cliff is on some beach somewhere you are the i've brought this up before i'm going to bring it up again you are the single hardest hometown fan in the world yeah you see it through a if anything goes slightly sideways you three see it through the most

Negative lens possible. I've been... Is this protection? No, no, no. Is this to protect yourself from vulnerability? No, this is been trained in me over... How many championships do our football and basketball teams have over the last hundred years? Where's the... Yeah, it's a goose. That's why I'm pessimistic. Okay. Well, that's fair. I mean, you never... Rather not have... I've always been right. Offseason controversy. Yes, you've always been right. Uh...

Kurt Cousins will remain with the Vikings in 2022. I bet it has to do with the $45 million or whatever they own. Yeah. The Raider, we have a shocking stat about the Vikings on today's show. We'll discuss the cousin's situation. Raiders are prepared to discuss a contract extension that we keep Derek Carr in Las Vegas for the foreseeable future. We're prepared to. Huh. We're not doing it. Huh. But we're thinking about it. You had not heard that, Mike. No. Yeah. I missed that little blurb in that. Huh. Ready to make a commitment.

That's a little headscrae. Again, I don't think Derek Carr is bad, but at this point, do you really think he's a Super Bowl winning quarterback? I don't know. I think that there are very few Super Bowl winning quarterbacks. I think if you have a Derek Carr, they are a playoff contending quality quarterback that you do keep. He's only 30 years old. It's pretty much like the Kirk Cousins situation. Except you're not financially committed to Derek Carr now.

Right. I mean, I don't view, and maybe this is, maybe this is blasphemy to some. I have never viewed Matt Ryan. I know he won an MVP award and had a phenomenal year, got to a Super Bowl. I don't view Matt Ryan as a, as one of those just Super Bowl winning quarterbacks. I view him as a Derek Carr, very capable quality guy that if you've got a good team around him, can can really be a good quarterback. And so that's kind of how I view him.

you know, Matt Ryan was minutes away from a Super Bowl. I mean, how did you view the Matthew Stafford season? I mean, I don't think anybody kind of views this championship as Stafford putting the team on his back. And I'm the biggest Stafford fan that you can find. I mean, somebody drummed up an old tweet where I said he was an Andy Reid away from multiple championships because he's that talented. But this was a real team championship. Your defense is.

has elite Hall of Famers at multiple positions. Cooper Cup had arguably the best single season ever for a wide receiver. Man, that throw, though. That throw in the middle of the game. Did you see it? Yes. It was a no look. It was a no look. Oh, really? I didn't realize there was no look. That makes a lot of sense. Go watch the film to cross the middle Cooper Cup. Cooper, look at your target. Look, look where you're throwing. That's unbelievable.

Carson wins. There's a report he'll probably be traded or released before the start of the new year. This bad vibes. This is also Chris Mortensen. Is he getting back like into the Mort report? Let's go. I just feel like this is a disproportionate amount of mort in our news. We had some awards given out Cooper Cup offensive player of the year MVP to Aaron Rogers again. There are rumors that the Packers are willing to.

Not just pay Rogers, but go all in, go above the cap, do whatever they need to do. This is full posture season for the Green Bay. If I'm Aaron Rogers, I say prove it to me. Give me a wide receiver. But the Packers have no choice. This is what they have to do because they're so dumb. Either you keep him and you did it. Congratulations team. Or he forces his way out and he is completely the bad guy because we said, like if you look at the news, we said we would do whatever it takes.

The train's already in motion. Al, they are so stupid. They are so stupid. They're stupid. They gambled and lost. You decided to go spend a first rounder on Jordan Love. They traded up. Trade it up today. And then you went and watched your quarterback win back-to-back MVP's. Whoopsies. And then now you have to fight tooth and nail to be relevant in the NFL and keep him. I mean, if I am Aaron Rogers, the only way I might not be able to play next year because I'm laughing so hard.

That might be my situation. I'm just laughing at how it worked out in my favor. Yeah. Although that suit. Hmm. questionable. Oh, did he have a funky suit? He had a really nice suit in the 70s. It was a 70s suit. I did not see it. But yeah, he's back when they didn't have color. He also works for UPS. I was saying. Rogers has all the leverage. Rogers is completely in control of this situation. I don't know where he wants to go though. If I were him beyond being paid more money than everybody else.

I would work some real humiliating stuff into my contract. I would make, like, the head coach has to go bow to him once and every day in the morning. I will be referred to as Mr. Rogers at all points moving forward. I have to crown him every day. Joe Burrow, come back player of the year, Jamar Chase, offensive rookie of the year. Call me father, please. And congratulations. Yeah, who's your daddy? Yeah. Mike Rabel coach of the year. Mike Rabel, we did it. Yes.

Congrats. Mike Brable, and if you were riding with us on Evan McPherson over one and a half field goals, we squeaked it in. Congratulations. Yes, yes. You guys want to talk some shocking stats? Yes. How'd you do that? I'm not even mad. That's amazing. All right, I told you we had a shocking stat for the Vikings. Let's start with that one. They played in one score games, guys.

14 of their first 15 games that ties an all-time record for one possession games in a season. It also, in my opinion, validates coaching issues, right? You have the talent, you have the skill players to be in the game, but you can't close out the game. You can't get it done. They were also a, they were just a ridiculously.

inefficient offense despite the talent where they, I think they had the most three and outs of any team in football, which is not, it's not in here in their dock, but I saw that the other day. They were in the bottom five for sure. And it's like, how do you do that with Jefferson, Cousins, and Delvin Cook? And it's because you're predictable. You run the ball on first down and you pass it on second down. You know, what's the future here? If he's back, you got a new head coach, Kevin O'Connell coming over from the.

now Super Bowl champion Rams. Yeah, I mean, I don't see it as necessarily bad coaching, right? Two years ago, whenever you're in those one-score games, and we know this from history, we know this from a couple years just a couple years ago with the Cardinals and the Chargers. The charges where when you're in these one-score games, the ball bounces different ways. And two years ago, they had a lot of close one-score games. They were above 500 in those. This last year, they were below 500, six and eight.

I view the Vikings and tell me if you view it. If I view them on the way down.

I view the Vikings right now as a team that has been really good over the last five, six years contending for their division, never really got over the hump. They thought that they were a Kirk Cousins away. They weren't. And now a lot of their players are aging out. Adam Thielen is not going to be getting any younger. They're winning on Patrick Peterson and on the defensive side of the ball. So I think this is a team that they're up against it Capwise. They do have a couple really valuable offensive pieces. And for fantasy,

I love that. I love the fact that they are changing from Mike Zimmer because I think what his desire was did limit their offense. But as a team, I think they're going to get worse before they get better. I still see them as second in the division. I mean, this was a team I thought. Well, yeah, I mean, they play with the lions. So they're not going to be fourth. Yeah, I think they got another strong season in them. Kirk Cousins is underrated. He's a great quarterback.

Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson. They were a terrible defense. That can improve. I mean, you were hoping, right, that they were going to make an improvement this season. They were 30th and yards allowed. They did not. Looking what. And it cost him his job. We talked about him in the season of how they just whatever team, they play to the competition of their team, which is, I don't, that's probably not the best thing, but like they beat the Packers. They beat the Chargers. They beat the Chargers.

You know, barely, they lose one score game to the Super Bowl champs, the Rams. But then they go out and they lose the Detroit Lions. Like they were a very bizarre team. Fantasy-wise, I will be buying up discounted assets if that's the view that others have of the Vikings for next year. Well, yeah, I mean, my view of them on the way down doesn't necessarily mean that for fantasy. For fantasy purposes, Kevin O'Connell coming in, an offensive mind. I think he's going to want to.

aired out a little bit more, and he's got the weapon in Justin Jefferson to do that. Cooper Cup. What? I'm saying Justin Jefferson can Cooper Cup it for, you know, Kevin O'Connell. It just sounded like you said the word Cooper Cup. Yeah. Out of no context. Just stopped. Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup. Just say it. It was Cooper Cup. Oh, it was Cooper Cup. Yes. It was a as a as a verb as a descriptive verb. Justin Jefferson Cooper Cup. It. It.

Justin Jefferson, Cooper Cuppet. We did. We'll check the tape. I said Cooper Cuppet. Cooper Cuppet. His defense is that he said the phrase, Cooper Cuppet. That's right. That's what I wanted to do. We should have been understood by us, the fools. Thank you.
