jack presley wrote: » As you know, I’m not his biggest fan but he’s all we have I don’t like the alternative of having to start from scratch with someone else next year so I think it’s him or nothing next season. As he’s under the franchise tag, they can’t make a deal with him until after the Super Bowl and I’m sure there’ll be plenty of twists and turns in the will he/won’t he sign saga before then. I know SF are out of the running now now and they were probably the favorites to land him but there are still plenty of teams who would be interested in signing him. Would the transition tag be an option? See how serious other teams in paying him.

They move the ball from their own 20 to the opponent’s 20 and this is where most of Kirks great stats are accumulated. But the stats are misleading as too many drives stall in the red zone and at least some of that has to be on Kirk.
