Yep...that's a pick six if it's not thrown perfectly.
I marveled at it when it happened and admire it now too....That was reminiscent of the dime he laid on Thielen vs Saints in the playoffs.
I started a thread elsewhere on here; KC just equaled the # of wins Culpepper had here. #6 all time for the Vikings.
He is not perfect, but he's vastly under appreciated by too many.

I dont think many underappreciate him, I think a lot of us think he is over paid for what he brings to the table, there are parts of his game that just arent up to par with the best in the game, but his contracts see him making top money the league. but what he does good, he does as good as anybody in the league and better than most. i know how crazy it looks pointing out his mobility issues a 2 days after he runs for a TD, but lets not pretend that is the norm, he also tried to throw for a first when he could have taken 3 more wide open steps and gotten it himself and avoided a 3 and out when we were in burn the clock mode.
but when he is confident and comfortable, he spins a beautiful ball.

He isn't electric to watch. But, I like having our starting quarterback playing every game of a season over and over. With how fun it was to watch Culpepper take off and run, (and hopefully not fumble), even with his massive size and build, the injuries happened.Bad things can happen to quarterbacks once they leave the pocket.

I dont want a running QB either, but there is a lot left to be desired with Kirks indecisiveness when it comes to his scrambling and especially his pocket awareness and lack of pocket movement. I think a fair amount of the hits he takes are of his own making because he doesnt move in the pocket and is very easy to rush.
I watched the replay last night and thought the same thing, that was a ridiculous pass and there was just one place he could put that pass and the fact that it was on a crucial 3rd was just amazing, pivotal big time play.

Cousins certainly looked fleet of foot on his scramble for a TD. That was pretty crazy.
We were sitting in the end zone and watching that ball go to Osborn was unreal. I saw Cousins celebrating a lot during this game, he just seems really happy right now.
