Why is everyone acting like Russ isn’t a hall of famer ? He has basically the same stats as Rodgers minus the mvp awards
Be careful what u wish for Falcon fans. Vikings are better off currently. Time will tell. Both teams win 9 games
Chris Simms says "right?" too much.
Sure bud.
Conors fucking yolked but chris looks massive next to him lol nfl humans vs regular folk
Media switching up now he’s left Minnesota. He worked well in O’Connels system, let’s see how he does with a new OC calling plays for the first time
Atlanta got better this week and it will cost none of us any money. Most teams are at or above the cap and they raise it every year.
If Kirk was on the 49ers last year i think they win the Superbowl.
Dude the Vikings offense was far from unstoppable
There was always at least a quarter where kirk couldn’t move the ball at all. ALWAYS!
But you can't build a good team when the guy is taking up so much against the cap
I personally think Kirk is SOOO controversial bcuz he’s the stereotypical white guy. Which there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. But, in today’s gangster mentality mindset, he’s just not cool. Especially, In a majority of younger generation’s eyes. I think that’s where he gets a lot of the negativity.!!! Even though, those of us who care to take the time to truly learn about Kirk,( IE, Netflix’s -Quarterback, series) or know more about the guy personally, know that he’s got the heart of a lion,& there’s hardly anyone out there in the NFL as cool as Kirk. For real!!!
Such BS!!! If cousins was going to the Vikings everyone would be like OMG! Vikings going to the superbowl!!! BS he had all the talent in the world around him. Went nowhere. Call a spade a spade.
Now all of sudden Kirk ia a God. 4 years I heard you belittle the guy in some form or fashion.
Right?!
Excuses for white QB’s
Been a Viking fan from the start and gave seen a lot of QBs and all had their high and low points. What I see in Kirk is that he is great at accuracy and hitting the open receiver but his lows are he's a sitting duck in the pocket. He doesn't like or do well in throwing a receiver open so he holds the ball too long. A good one trick pony and I think hes better suited to be in the shotgun.
Kirk isn't good enough to make up for the deficiencies on the roster created by the size of his contract. You're right, you can win a superbowl with a good but not great QB if you build a solid roster. Kirk makes that impossible by taking up 17%+ of the salary cap.
Kirk cousins is our Jay cutler with a better attitude and moral character. A shame! Can’t believe we Minnesota made the cousins generational wealth 😭
Kirk is afraid to throw any risky pass down field. He is weak asf!
What about Kirk Cousins 16 and 47 record against teams with .500 or better record ?
Its tough to win when you have a B average QB that gets paid like a superstar. They forget to mention that Mahomes and Brady have taken pay cuts to keep guys or get get guys. Even Rodgers made a team friendly restructure in NY. Cousins has made more money than Tom Brady and has never taken a pay cut. The Vikings wanted to pay him a team friendly deal around 35-40 million a year so they could continue to build the team. The Falcons offered 4 years for 180 million. Kirk is not a bad player but if he wanted to win a SB he would of taken a pay cut in Minny, or take a team friendly deal to bring in more talent in ATL. Id have to disagree when Chris said the Vikings messed up this decision. The Vikings are in a position to trade up and get a QB of the future. Plus next year they will have around 100 million in cap (after the pay JJ) to build around the kid.
Cousins is 1 – 4 in the playoffs in his entire career. 1 playoff win. It’s simple. The guy does not win in big games. If you can’t figure that out, then you can’t figure anything out. It takes 20 seconds to figure that out
He leads the NFL in passing yards since he became a full-time starter. 4,000 yards in 7 of 9 seasons. Was on pace for his best season last year before the injury. Cousins will be fine. ATL offense will be lethal.
Kirk has won 2 total playoff games in his career. Bro can't even beat Daniel Jones in the playoffs.
He's won one playoff game???
Cousins average playoff game is better than Tom Brady's despite being sacked 3 times as often. He is on a pace to rewrite the record book for 4th quarter comebacks. He has played behind the worst offensive line in the league over the last 6 seasons and performed at a Hall of Fame level. Yes, I said Hall of Fame level. If you compare all the quarterbacks since 1947 against the average quarterback of their era then Cousins comes out as the 17th best. He is a very top level quarterback and if you compare him to Josh Allen since Allen has been a starter Cousins is head and shoulders better. I am tired of pundits not respecting Cousins and not realizing that football is a team game.
A few years ago, I couldn't stand Chris Simms, but he's grown on me, and now he's one of my favorite NFL talking heads.👍
