I do hate Cousins, but mostly because of a few here that relentlessly say he is the best thing on this team. He has zero personality or leadership. He is a hard guy to like and pull for.PurpleFloyd wrote: ↑Mon Apr 11, 2022 7:49 pmI can’t force you to understand simple things.

You can realize that Kirk produced the best 4 year stretch of offense in team history with a new OC every single year and a horrible OL combined with a coach who was too stupid to understand this.
Also, with the restructure Kirk dropped to the 6th highest paid player in the NFL capwise. From 2018-2021 Kirk Cousins was paid more money than any other player in the entire NFL.
Coaches are only as good as their players. Zimmer hasn't been given much with the constant need on the offensive line.
No more excuses this year though. Zimmer got fired and we hired a coach who worked with Kirk in the past and is coming off of a Super Bowl win.
The Vikings should win the North for the first time in Cousins time here at the very least, correct?
Yes- we should win the North. And yes- there are no excuses for Kirk this year. But if he plays like he has or even improves a little then he has nothing to prove.
He is way too streaky for my taste. How can anyone ever trust him to string together a consistent season? There is always something and some excuse where it is never his fault in some people’s eyes. It makes me hate him even more that some people are like abused spouses and won’t let go of him. Just because he is the best we have or have had in a few years doesn’t mean we should stop looking.
Last season I had more fun watching each game expecting them to lose. It changed my perspective a bit, but I was done with it. Now we get the same BS players with a green coach and a DC who never was, and never will be anywhere near as good as Zimmer.
It might be two more years of this. I pray we take a quarterback next year though… That we groom our own and rebuild this roster of bloated salary old dudes.
I sure miss when our team won 11 or 13 games in a season. Since Cousins has been here we have had one kinda good year with Stefanski. Who might be significantly better than KOC?
It will be fun and that is what it is all about. We needed a big change. I don’t care whatsoever about Cousins TD/INT rate because the guy puts up gaudy stats against shitty teams. I want him to win. Control the clock. Call some audibles. Actually play the game himself and not be an empty head with a play punched in.
But for KOC, I hope he pulls a Cyrano and calls plays to make Kirk not fold like origami.
