JJ's got it bad for Captain Kirk

Perhaps not humbling. Expected?. Isn't it surprising he didn't thank his QB, who was in attendance, when he received the OPY award.

Is that a joke? 

Not a joke. Just an observation without the purple shaded glasses on, and it's probably nothing but just putting it out there.


Somethings JJ did last year reminded me of Diggs' final couple of years here. Then in the offseason, JJ's "best friend" isn't mentioned as one of his top five QBs, nor thanked when he received the OPOY award.


Now that JJ has experienced two other starting QBs, perhaps he realizes how nice it is, or is more thankful, of #8 distributing the ball.

So in your mind it requires purple shaded glasses to think this was simply an oversight, and that it's closer to reality to suggest JJ purposefully dissed his QB to send some kind of, I guess, “message?"

Well Mr Jefferson, how about backloading that contract to keep your good buddy in purple, what do you say…?  B)

The Cousins situation was partially brutalized by the fact that the Vikings, unlike the Pukers and others with big-time passing offenses, didn't build around the QB for a decade or more. We had AP, we had years basically spent (wasted?) in transition, and we had years with a defense/clock coach whose favorite QB was the definition of a moderate-arm "game manager"...which was, in turn, managed by Zimmer.

Cousins' arrival forced changes to get any good use out of him, and our o-line was shown to be NOWHERE near ready...for years. We were still built on the idea of 25+ runs per game, clock control, etc...but Diggs had already been shown to be a long-ball danger, as had Thielen, and Rudolph as a red zone menace. Once Cousins was a part of things, simply scoring 2 TDs and 2 FGs and trying to starve the opponent out wasn't the recipe, anymore.
