Why the fuck would a Vikings fan complain about this signing?  Thats 30 years of QB ineptitude outside of those random one offs 

Kirk, for at least 3 years sounds good to me

This is such a perfect summary of life as a Vikings fan, that if we presented Oscar Awards for posts, This is surely a nominee for 2018. Vikefans- You have been put on notice! THIS is the post to beat...

And there it is. The Vikings will get their guy.
Courtney Cronin added,

Adam SchefterVerified account @AdamSchefterKirk Cousins plans to sign a three-year, fully-guaranteed contract from the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday, sources tell ESPN.

The "guarantee" thing really really really really bothers me. Anything happens to him, knee injury / back / shoulder we are screwed.  Dumbest thing ever to guarantee the entire contract. And then there is the possibility that he sucks / is just average at best. We will be trapped in a brutal financial situation. He brings ZERO guarantees of excellent performance or health. You can say he has not been injured, but you could also say he is due to be injured. This has a huge possibililty of being the worst contract ever for the Vikings. I have a bad feeling about this guarantee.

Huh??  Would you prefer a traditional   5 Year deal worth X amount of dollars 84 million guaranteed?

yes because we would have 2 more years on the deand could either keep or cut him in the 4th yr

See I'm not a fan of those ballooned payments at the end of a contract, now your sure to get a market rate.

Exactly for the reason(s) you just posted.  The Vikings just got a rare good season out of a QB (who wasn't at the end of his career), and could have signed him for a pretty team-friendly deal, but instead they just kicked him to the curb and went all in on a fully guaranteed 3 year deal for the newer, shinier QB.  I don't know how a Vikings fan can feel fully confident in this deal; the Vikings don't exactly have a stellar record in the QB department.  

I'm playing a little bit of a devil's advocate here, and I'm slowly coming around to Cousins, but I've also been snake-bitten by this franchise and their "all-in" moves a few too many times to just assume this is the one that is going to finally work out as planned.


BTW I don't know whether to laugh, cry or vomit after reading your post.  Maybe all three LOL.

Feel much better paying Cousins 28 mil a year than I would have paying Keenum 20 mil.  Rare good season.  He overperformed and is very likely to regress.  We needed better than last year, not worse.

[Guest]

I think we will be pretty happy with the job he will do and the stability at the position.  

I have to admit to some relief that it worked out.

[Guest]

with all the other QBs and teams falling into place, this is pretty much a given now.  If it wasn't before.

Both funny and painful.  Nicely done!
