Cousins is not the answer

After 20 games I've seen enough.   This is a 6-10, maybe 8-8 season. 

Getting totally outplayed by backup Chase Daniels?

Round 1 give me Herbert or Fromm.

Yep. I'm now officially in that camp. Was suspecting it, but now its obvious. We're stuck with Cousins one more year, but they sure as #$%^ better draft his replacement next Spring and let him sit for a year. 

What a waste of a good team around him.

There are so many more questions now. He can't even be benched.

Completely agree. And yes, we're stuck with him it looks like. Sticky sums it up perfectly. Draft our new "future", let Cousins finish 2020, and then we can chalk this up as one of the worst FA signings we've ever had.

What a joke. I'm done with Spielman too.

Sorry boys.  Not jumping on the KC sucks bandwagon.  The play calling today has been abysmal.  Not seeing what is happening and finding a way to counter it is not on Kirk.

Add the brutal penalties and this one is on the guys wearing the headsets.

That 4th down pass behind Thielen just now was pretty indicative of how Kirk operates: game on the line, and he shits all over himself.

Cousins is missing wide open guys down the field off of play action. The Strib reporter covering the team has mentioned it on Twitter, this isn't the first game he's done that. Yes, he's been under a lot of pressure this game but the rumor out of Washington when he left was he didn't have the balls to pull the trigger when he needed to.

I am done with Cousins also.  I absolutely hate his demeanor.  He always walks off the field as if totally defeated.  He is simply not a leader and does not exude confidence -- ever.  It has been bothering me for a while and now I am done.

6 sacks and 40 yards rushing.  KC is the reason we lost undoubtedly.

well when you have never actually earned it, then you dont believe in yourself

pathetic. sign Colin and give him 5 weeks to get the offense down.  A running back with a live arm is better tgan this shit with this OL

There's merit there, Ralphie. I just don't think Cousins is the type of guy to elevate anything when Minnesota plays good football teams. And if that's the case, the team took a big swing and missed on him so its time to plan for this exit after that 3rd year of his guaranteed contract this offseason in the Draft. 

Nothing to be done now other than ride it out. His contract prohibits anything else.

The two fumbles didn't help...

Guys can say what they want, but I think the team lost faith in KC...there has to be talk in the locker room about what he's getting paid and what he produces...

We don't want Speilman or Zimmer picking the QB of the future...
