Cowherd FoxSports: 'I love everything about Minnesota.....'
"...except their QB. I love their defense, I love their D-line, Cook is one of the best young RBs in the league, Zimmer is one of the most underrated HCs in the NFL, great WRers, offensive line is improved, the organization is sound....but the team is limited with Kirk Cousins".
One man's opinion. Has the Vikings rated #6 overall in the league with his Herd Hierarchy.
Kirk has done everything but win. He has nothing else left to prove as an NFL QB. Marino, Kelly, Tark never won it all but i believe Cousins has the ability to put a team on his back. That may be a homer take but he’s our guy for this window
He probably has a low opinion of Jim Kelly, Dan Marino and Warren Moon too...
I don't know if Cousins can get the team there or not. I know Cousins can play very well. He's accurate. He's smart. What can he do with a talented team around him and a better offensive line than last year? Not sure....but we are going to find out this season. He fumbles....and he fumbles because he stands strong in the pocket. He's got the onions to hang in there with chaos around him, I like that about him. The TD pass to Thielen was another example of that.
I really don't know. He's one of these lovable dorks that you want to do well. He's genuinely vanilla whitebread. But he doesn't try to be anything else. He's not cool by any stretch, but he doesn't pretend to be and his teammates like that I think.
I don't like Cowturd but yeah even Kirk said he needs to win. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

When you are 4-24 against teams with winning records, you still have a lot to prove. Marino, Kelly and Tark all got their teams to the Super Bowl and won consistently against good teams and in big games.
The Vikings have been limited by their QB since Favre in '09 and many years before that. I think KC is a step up from Keenum, but he's definitly a second tier QB. I do think he's about as good as Bradford, and is a better passer than Teddy, but he's nowhere near the player Favre was in '09.
Foles recently proved you don't have to be a HOF QB win a SB. Just have an excellent supporting cast and be good enough.

I had to look away when he was doing whatever he was doing in the endzone after his TD. Man, that was so bad. B)
Maybe but he has a point. Kirk has never won consistently, has a horrible record against teams with winning records, and laid a huge egg against the Bears in week 17 last year with the season on the line. He needs to play much better to be worth his huge contract. I’m really hoping that he steps up his game this year.

IMO the losses to those teams havent been on him, but that stinker against the bills... holy shit balls!

Looked like the old "Nipple Adjuster" dance...

Lol. I love that he doesn't take himself too seriously. He cracks me up.
Okay after reading through this I had to log on and post. I recognized the dance Kirk and Diggs, etc were doing. There was a song a few years back called the Bankhead Bounce. Bankhead is right outside of Atlanta.
Excuse the old video but the dance is that old.
They trolled the Falcons with an Atlanta dance move. My cousin from Atlanta was with me at the game. She didn't enjoy the game that much (ahem) but we found the dance attempt funny.
Establish the run. He will pick teams apart that try to stop the run.
He is good enough to take this team the distance.

Ha, I think you are giving Kirk far too much credit. That wasn't the move he did. Unless you mean another player?
