Kirk Cousins on if he would take less money (he has a $45 million cap hit next year) to ensure he can stay with the Vikings:

“It’s hard to have these conversations when I haven’t given it any thought and don’t know any of those numbers. But I know that I want to be a Viking...

...and that’s kind of the foundation of it all. From there, it’s pretty easy to make those conversations happen when you want to be a Minnesota Viking.”
Get him a RG better than warm dog shit, and I think you can get him to a number that is more palatable.

Maybe throw in a conversion van too.

That’s was Favre’s second most passing yards in his career. The Vikings went to the NFCC Game.

Me thinks there may be too much hate for Cousins and not the defense by some Vikings fans.

Thanks for being such a predictable tool as always, but yeah keep posting Kirks stats and defending him and then being a complete jerk to anyone who disagrees with you

Really? The only way he is the equivalent of Brett Favre is if you make excuses for his win/ loss record. I watched Favre come to the Vikings and elevate a pathetic team to within a hair breadth of the superbowl. This guy can't make the playoffs, despite getting paid twice as much as Favre.
At this point, I respectfully disagree with your theory.

What theory?

That QB wins isn't a stat?

Should we do a quick comparison of the 09 D vs the 21 D?

 =========================================
Wait....

The 10/6 2008 team that won the North and was in the playoffs with Tavaris Jackson @ QB was pathetic?

Favre was no dummy - he knew damn well that Chilly led team was a QB away from being a SB contender -- and he was right. 

Compare that OL and D to that Cousins has played with...I think Favre took a lot of salary cap too if I remember right  ;)

Not a stat? What about Lombardi trophies? Is that a stat?
Is that defensive comparison not another excuse?
Every year there is a new excuse.
The theory is comparing Cousins to Brett Favre. 
If those stats you accept get you off, that's fine. But for me, I long for a Lombardi. And they haven't been anywhere close since Cousins has been here. And I know he isn't to blame. But Favre elevated a bad team. Cousins hasn't. To be honest, Keenum took a bad offensive line to the NFC championship game, with far less arm talent.
I'm not here to offend you or make it personal. I know you want to win as bad as all of us. But I just can't see it happening with the current GM, Head coach, or QB.
I'm old. I'm tired, And I'm ready for a reset!

If the defense was even middle of the road we'd be in the playoffs. Zimmer not getting this revamped defense to play competitive football was the downfall of the team this year...not Cousins

I dont see how fans can overlook the fact this D is an absolute bottom feeder in pts, yards and so much more. It's Frazier, Steckel bad. 

The only reason KC didnt put 5 td's up today was the OL wasn't blocking for s hit the 1st half.

I think the problem though with Kirk is perception. This team will go 3 and out three or four drives in a row where he will throw short of the sticks, then he'll throw a 45 yard TD pass on the next drive. You'd like to see a little more offensive consistency out of him when he is in there.

How much of that is play design vs QB play?

Jefferson only man with 3000 yards in his first two seasons.

I guess Cousins had nothing to do with that.
