Ever since the QB series on Netflix I've felt that Cousins has a really bright future in the booth. He's smart, articulate, self-deprecating, funny and likable. He's going to be one of the great ones.

I agree!

I think he'll be phenomenal in the booth. He's always been bright and articulate.

I guess he's more likable when he's not your QB lol.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

If he wants a career in the booth, I truly believe he will be great. I don't see him wanting that however.

Korko also has a face for TV, handsome devil. I'm sure they'll be clamoring for his service once he retires. Not sure if he'll want that grind or not and the demonstrative takes that are usually required.

Well he couldn't be worse than Tom Brady. Go run the Raiders Tom, and spare us all.

A game for the ages last night and he damn near put me to sleep...awful

Romo isn't exactly mr charming, but so much better in the booth, and brings the player expertise/cred.

Brady is brutal....and he rambles right up to game action. Didn't FOX give him like a 10 year contract? lol.

Yeah 10 years and he says he plans to fulfill it.

10 years is a long time. I will still give Brady a chance though. He can get better. Let him get the feel for it. I am sure they will go over where he needs to improve after the season. If anyone can do it, I would assume Brady could.

I would still rather listen to brady over collinsworth, aikman, charles davis, and several others that annoy the crap out of me.

Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Collinsworth/Tirico are awful. Just grating.

The Falcons will have paid Cousins $90 million for just one season by releasing him in March if that's what ends up happening.

I'll add that I'd rather hear a running garbage disposal full of glass and silverware than Joe Buck.

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

I typically don't pay much attention to who is announcing games. But I will say that Collinsworth's swaggering lilt can be grating and Brady was noticeably bad. One guy who did stand out to me as being very good was Adam Archuleta. He called one of the Vikings games this year and I made a point of finding out who it was.
