I agree and I'm glad that my Niners didn't sign him and instead got Garropolo. Even though Jimmy G got hurt this year and still hasn't proven himself as a full time starter I'd much rather have him than a guy in Cousins who can't beat good teams and won't take your team very far.

**MinnesotaFats** · 12-11-18, 02:49 AM

Stop

Been 40 years since MN had same QB for 18 straight games

Cousins brings stability

He's going to set every Viking passing record this year

The issue is Dephiloino and Zimmer

Guys wont take chances to get a lead. Always ultra conservative and 'let the Defense do its job'.... that's not 2018 NFL

Last year Keenum looked so bad Vikes had to take shots early and it paid off

Also, consider the schedule...of the 16 games, 13 (no det x 2 and no SF despite their 7 game streak end of year) are versus teams that are or where last year in the playoffs last 2 years. Teams like SF we caught early coming off 7 straight wins w Garrspolo Chicago catches week 15 w a backup.

Cousins brings consistency alright lol

**jtoler** · 12-11-18, 02:58 AM

more excuses from cousin kirk in the post game presser

**MinnesotaFats** · 12-11-18, 02:59 AM

Guy will own every Vikings passing record end of year

Team did right

Zimmer needs to let Kirk throw

not sure if they were excuses because I didnt hear the question but he was saying something about the receivers being double teamed seems a qb would love that. they showed on replay diggs and theilen being doubled teamed at the same time heck that means guys are open.

Who cares about records, especially in the NFL. They mean almost jack squat, I think Fitzpatrick has more passing TDs than Troy Aikmen.

Unless you think he can win you a SB, you don’t give him that contract. That’s an elite defense, all you need is an above average and clutch QB to pair with the defense. Cousins is a bum, guy always disappears in the big moment.

I still think main reason why he got so much praise early on was because he was so much better than washed up RG3, and that isn’t saying much.

Exactly. Almost every qb in the league throws for more yards and TDs then most hall o famers from back in the day. New league catered to passing. Those empty numbers mean nothing when you can't beat a decent opponent

**jjgold** · 12-11-18, 06:41 AM

Just a loser

Vikings were better past years without him

**rollie_t651** · 12-11-18, 08:16 AM

His prime time record and record against teams with a winning record speaks for itself.

He was hesitant last night and couldn’t make the throws when he had to. He had plenty of chances to win the game for MN.

**Renegades** · 12-11-18, 08:22 AM

Some guys rise to the occasion. Not kirk. The brighter the lights the worse he plays. He did what he does best though, throw for 100 yards and get a td when the game is out of reach. Stat sheet stuffer in garbage time

when you prefer stats over wins you can put cousins in the hall of fame with romo, stafford, and ryan. a whole bunch of fools gold.

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 12-11-18, 10:08 AM

he is a pedestrian qb

luckily it is only a 3 year contract

**magpie878** · 12-11-18, 10:26 AM

I'm no Cousins truther, but that "elite" defense stunk the first half of the year and had to deal with Hunter's situation.

The offensive line was banged up early and stunk as well. A lot of hits and sacks on Cousins.

**danshan11** · 12-11-18, 10:38 AM

the vikings thought they had the best defense in the history of the NFL and they thought if sorry ass Keenum got them that far anybody a hair better could get them over the top, wrong! Vikings are not even this year or the year before the best team in that division!

na...Cousins simply a 7 or 8 win QB who was fortunate enough to pad his stats against sh*t teams which happened to be timed perfectly with his free agency and also at the same time there was a serious lack of other options around the league (still the case today). So in other words he was simply in the right place and the exact right time to capitalize on a team who was desperate.

**BuckyOne** · 12-11-18, 11:15 AM

I guess we should ask Thelen, Diggs, and Rudolph. I think the difference is Shurmur was a much better play caller!

Seriously? That would be Fran Tarkenton

**ex50warrior** · 12-11-18, 11:55 AM

I've been a supporter of the Cousins signing decision...until last night. Am admitting I was wrong--he looked pathetic!!

**DavidGoliath5003** · 12-11-18, 12:52 PM

First off Cousins is a man of jesus, hes too nice. He dosnt have that killer instinct. He says I hope and I think alot, which tells me his confidence is shook. Hes got alot of doubters who are correct. Hes scared to make a mistake, so he holds onto the ball to long. His Oline sucks as well, thats part of the issue here.

You bought the Cousins Kool Aid. He sucks. Always has, always will. Minnesota lost any chance at a SB appearance the day he was signed.

Zimmer is an outstanding HC. He just realized early in season how bad Cousins is and wants to limit his chances of turning ball over.

**BigdaddyQH** · 12-11-18, 01:14 PM

Cousins agent is a genius for suckering in the Vikings (who probably have the worst front office) into paying for a Prime New York Steak and getting a Big Mac in return. And people wonder why Minnesota has not won a Superbowl.

**JIBBBY** · 12-11-18, 01:28 PM

Cousins really isn't that good.

He's middle of the pack with INTs, hardly a machine. He does lead in fumbles lost, I think.

I'd take Stafford over Cousins all day long and twice on Sunday... Cousins getting bounced around the league for a reason and from team to team, Stafford is not..

**packerd_00** · 12-11-18, 03:05 PM

Said that ages ago,he was never elite. Always seemed to put up good stats,but continually made the boneheaded mistakes.

**rm18** · 12-11-18, 03:48 PM

Cousins cannot do anything if you pressure him cannot move or throw on the run.
