Stats give you an idea if someone is doing their job or not. Cousins does his job and does it well. Pretty much every objective measure proves that out. 

That leaves naysayers with wins/losses. This is the most useless measure of a QB’s performance or ability. In statistics, this is known as a spurious relationship. It can be easy to link the two based upon appearance and emotion, but the reality is they do not strongly correlate with one another due to limiting factors (it’s only one limited facet of what is necessary for a successful outcome in a game). 
There is no such QB in NFL history who can “put a team on his back and win the big game”. It’s nothing more than an emotional fallacy. This is proven out again and again, with even players like the GOAT Brady, relying upon a well balanced team with top flight defenses for ultimate success. One only needs to look at Brady’s overall teams to see this. His success is a direct result of the team. If it was all about the QB, Aaron Rodgers would have won many championships by now. 
Regardless of how good of an overall QB Cousins is, he will not win a championship with the teams the Vikings are putting around him. No QB would. There’s no easy button for winning a championship. GM’s and coaches must put together better rosters and schemes than we have had. 
Cousins and how he is viewed, reminds me of the same way Brees was viewed before his championship success. Many of the same things said about Cousins were said about him. Brees was too short, didn’t have the “intangibles”. He was always “limited”. He was just a “stat guy”, but couldn’t “carry the team”. 
Like Brees, the narrative won’t change without a championship and that’s just the way it’s going to be, fair or not. 

So we need to hire gregg williams and cheat our way to a championship?

Sorry, yeah I am bitter.
