Kirk cousins had a very quiet good year. I remember in week 11 he was at 24 TD and 3 ints and like nobody was really talking about him. Individually 2021 has been his best season.
Individual stats don’t really matter yet when he retires ppl gne roll back around to those numbers
It seems like a mental thing with him. A need to win game he’s just not doing that. I’d say he plays it too safe but that could be on Zimmer. It’ll be an interesting year especially with the nfc this open
@@Sdemmy980 except Zim was literally telling the Press that he needed Kirk and Klint to be aggressive and if Kirk threw a pick then so be it.
Zim understood he needed more out of the offense and Big plays were the only thing the Vikings offense was good at hence the good QB stats, but the stats that show why teams win like 3rd down percentage and sustained drive times, the vikings were 26th in 3rd down and were 32nd the worst in the NFL at sustaining drives.
and this was with ZIm pleading in his pressers for Kirk to be more aggressive.
@@johnkeith8619 yeah it’s hard to tell what actually happened in the locker room. Players openly talked about how awkward it got. I’ve been saying for ever, how is throwing a 50 yard pick worse than 3 and out. Stafford is a great example of how risk and reward works but to be fair last year had to do mainly with defense. Kirk played bad on clutch games but ultimately that defense blew it over him. Zimmer loved running the ball and always has I hope this year’s better with the nfc being wide open
@@johnkeith8619 then the next week kirk threw an interception and zimmer blamed him for losing the game… zimmer was simply too hard headed and out of date, blamed the players too
From a Vikes fan, he may not be the answer, but he's definitely not the problem. Especially last year. Our defense pissed away so many leads.
This. And thank God we got a new coach cause Zimmer singlehandedly tanked our chances of making the playoffs last year.
Can't blame everything on defense if you watched games last year they got interceptions for Kirky and he just can't get it done.💩
I noticed that too. I always felt like the Vikings scored a lot of points, but would still lose the game and that falls sorely on the defense
fr tho i go to my grandpa's every weekend and we get PISSED off but im glad u said this!
@@hueyang5943 their offense was 14th in points and 12th in yards. That’s a over average. Their defense was 24th in points allowed and 30th in yards allowed per game.
He’s one of those QBs we will look back 20 years from now and ask why he couldn’t achieve more team success despite his great stats.
I'm still wondering why NOBODY talks about the Vikings defense/special teams. Kirk Cousins isn't the entire team
hes like rodgers but far worse with better players
@@ajburrr When the defense is constantly on the field because you lead the league in 3 and outs you can't blame them too much.
@@2Evil2Hope if you lead the league in 3 & outs with 2 star receivers and a top 5 back that’s a QB issue. Obviously, play calling probably is awful but a good qb converts those 3rd downs. HOWEVER, I’d take him over jimmy G and someone earlier said if the 49ers had him vs KC, they win a ring and I do agree with that to an extent.
@@2Evil2Hope Zimmer....
Every year Kirk is usually around the top 10 spot, sometimes top 7. Thats better than 22- 25 other starters at QB. No one said he's Brady but he's one hell of a lot better than he's made out to be.
And now this man captained the largest comeback in history! Give this man the respect he deserves!
Green Bay,didnt!
3-yard pass on 4th and 8. Greatest QB evar!
@@encycl07pedia- not his fault 🤡
@@Phil_3.0shorts He threw the pass...
@@encycl07pedia- he shouldn’t have been in that position you can’t blame him for that and it was a bad play call
Many people look at him as a daniel jones,Andy dalton,ryan tannehill,Jimmy G type of QB. Bro is so underrated big Kirko
For Kirk Cousins the Stars have to align perfectly for him to make any Super bowl. Just like any other Franchise Quarterback.
Life isn’t luck the best team always wins
@@SinisterLynch thats a lot of cap lmao.
@@SinisterLynch not true obviously you need salad the Rams were the best team in the league last year OK 2020 Tampa Bay 2019 Kansas City was not the best 2018 the patriots definitely weren’t the best 2017 the Eagles won because Matt Patricia what is the defensive coordinator 2016 the patriots were the best 2015 Denver was not the best 2014 New England could have a argument for the best but if Piquero ran the ball everything changes 2013 Denver with. One of the best offenses nfl ever seen scores eight points in the Super Bowl 2007 patriots 18-0 score 17 points against the Giants
I agree, take Tom Brady for example; played in a gimmie division his entire career with the Patriots. Dolphins, Jets, and Bills had No teams so they were easy non-injury scare games that improved his chances of getting to the play-offs. More injuries you have, more likely you're gonna get beat. I don't see Tom Brady as the GOAT, and quite frankly his GOAT status is just hype. Not saying he's not a good quarterback, he's just been on good teams with good coaching in a gimme division. Kirk on the other hand, just hasn't had that luck.
@@zay_gzs5635 Do you know how to end a sentence? Did you forget that a period exists?
first of all thanks for the vid, exactly my points, super hyped for the next season, its make or break now
Kirk is the definition of a Great QB without the clutch factor that the Mount Rushmore QBs have.
“The Mount Rushmore QBs” Lol i like that. Imma use that.
Considering that he now has 7 Q4 comebacks this year, that did not age well.
@@janandersen8735 Considering Cousins managed to choke in the playoffs AGAIN, your comment aged worse. 11-0 in one-score games in the regular season, 0-1 in one-score games in the postseason. Cousins is a joke. Anyone who has seen him take a knee when he was supposed to spike it knows this.
Kirk was clutch in almost all of the games last year and the defense gave up more points than we put up usually making it come down to the Last possession... and the play calling was conservative at best with the 26th rated offensive line and 22nd rated defense maybe 28th it's really terrible.. Zimmer threw a wrench 🔧 into the offensive scheme we should have seen..
Exactly. I get tired of the " He doesn't elevate the play of his teammates" and shit like that. How's he supposed to do that other than to drop the ball on a dime anywhere on the field and give HIS guy the best chance to catch it like he does? Stat wise he was doing his job better than 22 or 23 other QB's with a coach that did all he could to derail Cousins.
If you have to have someone else elevate your play then you need to GTFO.
If he's so clutch, why didn't the Vikings make the playoffs, even though they're letting in more teams than ever before? I mean if they came down to the last possession, clutch players win.
Cousins is a bad joke:
What kind of m0r0n lines up behind the guard AND takes a knee when they need to spike the ball (separate occasions)? Kirk Cousins.
@@encycl07pedia- Yeah I see the encyclopedia for morons chimed in with his stupidity. 👋
What will your excuse be this year???
@@spindog9600 we have none
I remember at the end of RG III's first year I was telling everyone I would trade him and keep Kirk Cousins. This guy is seriously underrated. He is Top 10 in league for sure. I maintain he gets so much hate from the football world because of his low draft position and people refuse to see him as anything other than a low rounder who got lucky. He's a baller. Not his fault his teams defenses are almost always ranked 20th or lower.
exactly
Lmao top 10 😂 in stats, not consistently winning. He feasts on a season of weak defenses, his fans want to put him in the hof
Cousins career so far is similar to Stafford. Stafford was seen as not being very special and a garbage time god to pad his stats for most of his career until he got to the Rams. Cousins is much more accurate and doesn't have as strong of an arm, but overall I think he is better than Stafford. When it comes down to it, the Vikings have not had a good coaching staff, good O line, and their defense has deteriorated every year since they signed Cousins. The win/loss record is not his fault. It is a product of bad coaching/bad defense. I'm hoping the Vikings new head coach will get it right. As their roster is right now they have to win shootouts and you can't do that by running on first and second down every time you have a lead. That kind of strategy only lets the opposition back in the game. The Vikings could have been a playoff team the past few seasons if the coaching staff had kept the foot on the gas on offense to put the game away instead of trying to keep the game close and have a shoddy defense win it.
Stafford has the qb mentality. Big difference.
@@Prag11 what does that even mean? Cousins is a competitor. If you look at his 4th quarter performance stats from the past season you can't tell me he isn't. He runs the offense well and performed well under McVay's offense when he was with Washington. Cousins has only gotten better since his time in Washington with his accuracy and his turnover ratio.
@@brianbasham3517 its hard to explain but athletes know what it means
@@Prag11 sounds like a cop out to me. Something Cousins haters say to reassure themselves that they aren't biased.
@@brianbasham3517 not a hater. At one point a couple years before he got here, I wondered if we should try to get him. Just not happy with his play in big spots. Its simple as that. And his win loss record, shows it to be honest
The thing that everyone fails to mention when they bring up the 2020 season and the 2021 season is that the defense lost us most of the games these past two seasons. The offense did enough to win the games, but the defense would give up the victory somewhere in the last two minutes.
I'm truly glad that Cousins is our QB. Now that we have a HC that gives a fuck about him, I'm excited to see what our offense does in 2022. SKOL!
Y’all should’ve did what the Rams did but I’m not sure if Kirk cousins is good enough to win the other defense hasn’t been great but Case Keenum has gone farther than this man
@@zay_gzs5635 Case Keenum took us farther thanks to having Stefon Diggs, young Adam Thielen and the number one ranked defense that season. Our 2017 defense was insane. That's why Case hasn't had success anywhere else.
Kirk has proven that he's capable. That 2019 playoff game against the Saints, IN New Orleans was unreal. Yeah we lost to the 49ers in the divisional, but they had the number one ranked defense that season and went on to almost beat the Chiefs in the SB 🤷🏽♂️
Our offense isn't what has lost us the majority of games, it has been our garbage secondary leaving wide open passes all season long. Plus having a weak as hell pass rush thanks to injuries.
KOC has been here for only a few months and our defensive roster looks just as good on paper as our 2017 roster. Possibly better thanks to the scheme switch.
Zimmer had too much of a dictator role when he was HC, and he didn't want Cousins at all, so Cousins wasn't allowed to be a QB and a leader of the team like other QBs in the league, so now that KOC is here, we will hopefully be seeing even more out of Kirk. If over the next two seasons we don't win the North and have a good amount of success, then I'll agree to moving on from Cousins, but I need real evidence, not just what the NFL analysts say without ever watching Vikings football 🤷🏽♂️ I respect your opinion though
@@TheAfroNinja712 he has never proven he can win this BIG games you really need. Very few times. To. Many. Excuses. You can’t count on one hand. Go back to his Washington days. Dude is always surrounded by talent but when the game is on that line he always will outthink himself into a mistake. He cannot beat good teams man. And then it’s always an excuse for him. If you just WATCH him, he will shrink. I’ve seen him get drafted. Was optimistic at first but it just those big game and moments that come up short. Puts up good stats tho. Is a nice guy. Just sayin. He has to prove it. You can’t just give it to him.
@@ryanjackson8176 I've truly never understood the whole "Wins = a QB stat" thing. Every part of the team counts towards the win/loss column. Same reason why Stafford never won a playoff game with the Lions but then wins a SB the second he's on the Rams, it's not because he just decided to be good when he went to LA, it's because this was the first time every part of his team was great.
His first season wasn't anything crazy impressive, but the past three seasons he's done great. Idk what else you could want from a QB that regularly gets over 4,000 yards a season, 30 TDs and single digit INTs. If you're not getting wins from that, then maybe the QB isn't the problem..? 🤔
Everybody forgets to look at the bottom ranked defenses that we had the last two seasons, and the fact that our OC had the worst playcalling ability the Vikings had hired in a loooong time last season.
It's easy to look at a team and point at the QB when the W/L column looks how it does, but when you actually watch the Vikings every week, you know that it's not Cousins that had ruined the Vikings 🤷🏽♂️
This is the first time that the offense will be built around Cousins' strengths and not have the HC bitching at the OC saying we need to run the ball 50 times a game.
And to say Cousins can't win big games is ridiculous. Especially after beating the 13-3 Saints in NO as the 10-6 underdogs in OT in 2019. That was just one game we won that was important, but it was incredibly important at the time. So that narrative is ridiculous to hear. Not saying he's perfect but damn people talk like he's a bottom three QB.
@@TheAfroNinja712 you can’t compare him to Matthew Stafford first of all they’re not the same in talent at all. Second of all Kirkwood has been on far better superior teams with more talent than Matthew Stafford so you cannot compare. You can break down the stats and all you want to but when you look at the primetime numbers and games against winning teams he has a losing record. You can break it down all those paragraphs you want to but at the end of the day we all know he is just a good quarterback who shrinks under pressure.
Everyone has a perception of cousins from his Washington days and his first couple of years in Minnesota but he’s been a far better qb the last couple of years and no one wants to believe it because they are still stuck in the past.
Right, because not even making it to the expanded NFL playoffs is the true sign of greatness. Do you know how many Denver teams John Elway dragged to the Super Bowl? Cousins sucks. Period.
@@encycl07pedia- it shows you didn’t watch a single Vikings game last year.
I have watched Cousins play ever since he was RG3's backup on the Redskins in 2012. I am a Washington fan so I have seen most of the games he played when he was here. I feel Cousins has always been good. He moved the ball extremely well, but if there was any knock on him when he was with us it was that he often struggled with making the touchdown passes. He struggled with a short field. We had good players on offense so it wasn't his supporting cast holding him back, hell he had Sean McVay calling his plays also. But anyway, I feel he has always been a very good quarterback, I wish we kept him. But the problem with how much attention he gets I feel is from the fact that most of the time he is not very flashy, that's what a lot of people out here love. Not me, I want a reliable quarterback, but most people seem to love the running quarterbacks who makes a highlight play when they run with the ball. Whoop dee do is what I say to that, lol.
@@rf5390 I think cousins biggest strength especially since he’s been in Minnesota has been his redzone ability. I don’t have any numbers to back up my claim but more often than not he’s scoring tds instead of kicking field goals/turnovers. Some of his biggest issues still stem from not having very good protection especially right up the middle immediately after the ball is snapped. He’s not elusive or incredibly mobile so he’s not going to run for a a bunch of yards but he’s smart and tough so he knows to live for another play instead of just throwing it up all Willy nilly.
@@encycl07pedia- lol couch analyst.
It's just a shame that Cousins success is measured by the defense's failures.
So many close games were lost in 2021 that could have been wins, had the defense been able to stop anyone.
Cousins would orchestrate unbelievable scoring drives, late in the game. Just to have the defense piss it away.
Zimmer's defensive prowess was an abysmal failure when he lost the ear of his players.
He always seems to have good talent. But his O-line and defense have been rough in Minnesota.
Great video. I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan but I've always liked Kirk Cousins. I hope he surprises the league with 30+ TDs 4000+ yd season!!!
He’s done that in 3 of his last 4 seasons
@@evanstensland611 more specific 35 tds and 4500yds but he very underappreciated

Let's not forget our HC worked with him in Washington. Our HC is excited about it so it must mean something. The chemistry is there already
This aged very good actually
Was going to say this I’ll just comment here
well*
And no, it didn't. 3-yard checkdown on 4th and 8. Cousins is overrated even if he's called garbage.

@@encycl07pedia- bro it's bad I can admit it now
I didn't see an argument that shows that he is underrated. The issue is Kirk is a game-manager who gets paid as an elite QB, that's the issue.
Kirk is already changing his narrative, 9-2 so far with 7 game winning drives this year! He's the reason Minnesota is winning this year!
I've been saying this about kirk for like 3 years and this is my top ten
We could say whatever we want about Captain Kirk, he know how to get Paid!😏
I knew he would be good the second I saw him at Michigan State
Cousin's scramble for the first down with 7:00 left in the 2nd, taking on the Jets best linebacker head on was vicious. For them.
Lmao whatever you say junior
he sure knows how to choke he is a pro at that period
I heard a bold prediction on the local sports radio today, Vikings and Packers in the NFC championship game.
Time to turn the boat around with the FALCONS!
Blaming one guy for not winning is why your not winning!
exactly it’s a team game
His records looking better now!
Best QBs are the ones that can run the 2 minute offense flawlessly. They're the one's with ice water running in their veins. They get the victory in close games.
Swap Garoppolo with Cousins and 49ers win that Superbowl.
you still have time to delete this.
True
Easily

@@OffTheBill if you think Kirk cousins isn’t miles better than Jimmy G you need your eyes checked sir
Kirk is top ten for sure! Look at what Cooper Rush is doing for Dallas. Not the talent of Dak but he is winning because he does what is asked and not trying to do too much. Kirk is the same way but a better talent. And Kirk is never hurt, knock on wood. If Stafford can win a SB, Kirk can. The defense was and is still the weakness of the Vikings.

A lot of people don't realize that since becoming The Vikings starter in 2018 Kirk is 3-3-1 against Rodgers head to head. In those games he's averaged 268yds, 66.8% completion, 2.1 TD's/0.71 INT, and 106.4 passer rating. In those same games Rodgers has averaged 278yds, 67.2% completion, 2.1 TD's/0.14 INT, and 106.8 passer rating. Better yes but not a monumental difference there...
No wonder Rodgers has such a problem with the Vikings. Kirk plays on the same level.
@@edl4767lmao pass me what you're smoking
8 comeback victories this year with a lot of help from JJ but people will only remember that last pass short of the sticks. Another season pissed away by poor defense. Kirk fuggin Thuggins needs more respect
Really, a guy who throws a 3yd passe on 4th and 8 to go one and out in the playoffs once again is underrated. Pure comedy.
Bro did not watch the game
DUDE!!! HE MADE THE PRO BOWL AS AN ALTERNATE!!! WHEN BETTER QB'S SAID THEY WERE NOT GOING TO PLAY. STATS LIVES MATTER!!!!
The only people that hate Kirk are people who thinks wins are a quarterback stats
Umm well they kind of are. When you look at qb stats, you see their win/loss record which is a STAT. Digging deep to kiss his ass
That’s my f’n QB. Kirko chains is the man. Jefferson and Kirko will make some noise this year for sure
Are Defence was exhausted by the end of the half and game because of all our three and outs. We Led the NFL. That is what the stats you never hear about tell us.

No 7-10 max
if that it won't be because of him
Also add in he's had a new offensive coordinator every year since being with the vikings!
You like that! You like that!
I am convinced KOC is the long lost grandson of Bud Grant. The resemblance is uncanny.
Anybody notice when he shouted out darrishaw he put the Virginia cavaliers mascot instead of Virginia tech 😂
im so tired of people saying he cant win in the playoffs. thats true for so many qbs but thays never a critivism. dak murray carr herbert lamar etc...
Well a dream of winning a Super Bowles is a big thing so Kirk Cousins it's up to you to make them good fast throws, hand offs and maybe a run from you Kirk. You can do this.
"Why J&D is ridiculously high"
All of your stats tell me how many of those yards came in the fourth against soft coverages
Kirk can't blame a bad win loss year on anyone else this year he has everything he needs to make the playoffs, now we will see. Blessings to all
Well, we are 7-1 right now
Well, they're 10-2 right now, no excuses taken, touche!
Honestly, I kind of feel the reason why Cousins gets so much hate is the contract he signed to play with the Vikings, and then allegedly "conning" the Vikings with his play.
Before anyone starts shouting or throwing sharp objects, put yourself in Cousins' shoes. If you were given a fully guaranteed contract, and you have a family to feed, would you refuse? (Anyone who dares mention Tom Brady, get out, you clearly do not know that Brady is NOT the primary breadwinner of his family.) The real villain that deserves the blame is former Vikings GM Rick Spielman, cause if not for him drafting that fully guaranteed contract, maybe this would have been a non-issue.
Skipped the part where former teams in WFT told reporters how Kirk is aware of his numbers and what consciously pad his stats.
Yep, and he's still doing it. Casual fans think he's top 10 or even top 5 because they don't realize how many times he goes for the safe throw regardless of whether it gets a first down to keep his completion percentage up
I think there's a huge difference between saying a qb sucks and a qb is not clutch. Any moron who says Kirk sucks doesn't know football. To say he's not clutch? That's a an adult conversation. I see Kirk in that Tony Romo up until recently Matt Stafford, and even Dak Prescott and Derek Carr. Very good qbs that for not having great teams around them or just bad luck haven't had the success their stats suggest they should.
Well put, people where so quick to rag on him last year when we had the 31st ranked defense in the league and a suspect O line at best. I'd even wager he breaks top 10 QBs if only at 10.
Finally omg
As a Vikings fan, I have absolutely no problem with Kirk being our starter for the rest of his career. He was 33-7 with Zimmer and Klint Kubiak calling plays… I’m excited to see the outcome with a coaching staff that actually wants to score points.
This guy is the best QB we have had. If the Vikings don't make the playoffs with a SB winning OC Coach calling the shots and a guy who can play as good as Rodgers in Rival games i dont know what else can be done. Vikings have everything they need to win.
As an Eagles fan, I have no problem with you starting Cousins for the rest of your career, because that's a guaranteed win anytime you play the vikings in prime time. What happened Monday night?
@Steven Hadley. I am a Vikings fan but I agree totally with you. Kirk sucks on MNF and in games in prime time TV
@@TimesUp777but but he finally won some close games. Dude FINALLY lives up to his hype a little and people want to put him in the hof
Imma keep sleeping
Yeah definitely because I don't really hear anything about the Vikings the only thing hear is about is Justin Jefferson and also I dont know what the issue with the Minnesota Vikings as far as being Super Bowl Contenders
Diggs wanted out of Minnesota because of Cousins. Diggs loved Case and his leadership skills. Something Kirk will never have.
Wrong, another misinformation spread by haters like you. It has been proven that diggs problems was with 🦖 Zimmer. Like a lot of players have come out saying the same thing. 9-2 .
Vikings about to give this man a 4 year $160 million fully guaranteed contract.
I hope they do, it'll help the division
I don’t know how I got almost all the way through this before it clicked that this guy resides in Minnesota. The moment he referred to Kevin O’Connell as koc you know he’s a homer.
Cousins is definitely not underrated. Any sensible NFL fan knows how TALENTED he is. He's simply not a Big-game player, and sucks in the clutch. Great regular season QB, but I'd take Eli/Flacco any day over him in a big game
Exactly
Except for that he was 2nd in game winning drives last year that his defense or special teams blew. But I guess because you just wanna blindnessly say he’s not clutch I guess you’re right.
@@parkerdollich2284 lol Kirk cousins is trash
When this is the argument against him EVERY time, you know Kirk is good. I urge you to look at actual game context of all the games you think he’s not clutch in. They paint a very different picture than box scores
He beat hall of famers drew Brees And Sean Payton in a playoff game on the road, he’s been very clutch last few years as well. Just narratives
Kirk has to show us now he has everything it takes to be a top Q B
do one of these on dak prescott lmao
Being as I am Viking fan and also a Chicago Cubs fan. I can give a little perspective on Kirk Cousins and how it relates to the Cubs.
While it's true that Kirk Cousins stats are eye popping. And comparing them to Rogers and Brady. He is right there with them. Incredible numbers HOF worthy.
But he's a company guy. He doesn't go out of his way to lead his teammates. Wich isn't bad. He's just not as likely to get a lot of support from his teammates. They don't see him as their leader.
How that relates to the Cubs is actually it comes from their TV broadcaster in the booth Harry Carey. He said while talking about Barry Bonds one time.
Barry is probably the best power hitter in the league. Meaning the he was the best power hitter at the time. He talked about all his other abilities as well. Then Harry said, " You know getting a lot of Home runs is always good. But it's not how many home runs you get that makes the difference. Its when you get the home runs that makes the difference."
That describes Kirk Cousins. Because if you dig deep into his stats you'll see he is like Stafford. To where a good portion of his stats come in trash time.
He's not getting the home runs at the right time.
Hopefully, and I feel like 2022 - 2023 for Kirk will also be like Stafford and he will finally win it all. With the new coaching staff the Vikings have in KOC as head coach. I would hope he not only win the Super Bowl. But win Super Bowl MVP. That by the way won't be an easy task being as he has JJ and Dalvin Cook on his team. Because both are capable of taking over the game.
Respect for typing that out
I am a Vikings fan but you are insane if you think the Vikings are winning a Superbowl this year. The defense sucks like every other year and there is no way we could beat the Bill's or Chiefs even if we got EXTREMELY lucky somehow and even made it to the SB

If we get are defense together and and O-Line that can actually protect Cousins we'd have a great season, and kirk can show hes real colors but without the Defense and O-Line idk
The video is titled Kirk Cousins is underrated and then the actual video proceeded to rate him at the level literally everyone else does
"he isn't a top 10 QB, but the tier just out side looking in..." There are only 32 QBs, so if he is not top 10, he is middle of the pack - average. I think the consensus is the he is above average (but not elite). Exactly where you placed him, not ridiculously underrated. The problem fans have is not his ability, it is his pay. He is not elite, he can not carry the team, but he is paid like it. That means the team can not afford to surround him with the talent HE needs to make a run. So the Vikings are stuck until they dump him, or he takes a pay cut (HA!).
I don’t think the talent is an issue the Vikings are a good drafting team they’ve gotten Justin Jefferson, Diggs, Thielen, and Dalvin Cook the issue is Kirk he doesn’t play at an elite level I’m a cowboys fan and it’s the same thing with Dak he’s got the talent just doesn’t perform
He did take a pay cut this year and now our team is finally looking good for once.
And his pay is his fault. Got it.
Basically an above average QB
Cousins rn is actually getting paid for about as much as his production in comparison to the qb market nowadays. My cardinals are gonna have to pay Murray like 40 million dollars soon and he's basically Kirk Cousins with legs
Vikes need a o line I can't remember last time they ever had a good o line
Brady had 24 TDs over 4k yards in his last year with the PATs.
THIS IS SO FAXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
If Kirk wasn’t our QB, we win a maximum of 4 games the last four years. In 2021, the Vikings 2 minute defense was the worst 2 minute defense since 2000. But kirks fault
Exactly they want him to Play LT, DE, DT, CB, S 😩
lmao
commenting in november 19,2022 and the viking are 8-1 and just beat the best team in nfl right now the bills. This video is a hundred percent correct.
Yeah that 4th down pass short of the first down said differently
I dont think he's underrated but most ppl just don't believe he has many excuses for not winning a superbowl by now 😂
Why?! ....1) Night Lights makes him freeze up, 2) He's only a "9-5" guy, according to him, 3) He's afraid to run for the goddamn 1st Down, despite the field being Wide TF OPEN!... Want me to continue????
Stafford is completely different. He had really good games in Detroit and was super clutch. With Kirk, there’s just something that short circuits under pressure
You see what you did there? Move the goal post. What about Stafford playing with the best WR of our generation and only having 1 playoff appearance?
Dude cmon. Minnesota has had so much more talent around Kirk than Detroit did. They went to the playoffs in 2015 & 2017 with Teddy B & Keenum. If Kirk was really a QB worth building around, he would’ve elevated the roster.
@@Foremangrill We had a prime AP with Teddy Bridgewater, Xavier Rhodes was still a Top 5 corner and we had the #5 ranked defense. Case Keenum only won against NO in a fluke while also playing with the #1 defense. What top 5 defense has Kirk had? His first year Dalvin was injured as well so context is always key. Our roster was not nearly the same as years prior your mistake was thinking the Vikings have had a championship roster which hasn’t been the Case since 2019 and he did beat the saints in OT on the strength of his arm alone!!
@@takedownTony6 dude cmon you’re acting like Cousins has had no help? He can’t lift the team if his RB1 get injured? Sounds like a bottom tier game managing QB. It’s not a bad thing, but you can’t say he’s a top 10 QB
@@ForemangrillNo amount of stats Analytics or Film will change your opinion. Even though I’m a Vikings fan I’m subjective if Kirk was the issues I’d want him gone but he is not. You probably haven’t even watched him play fr but anyways take care ✌🏽
Did you purposely show the UVA Mascot, when you said “Go Hokies(?)” Because The Hokies are Va Tech’s Mascot… two different schools; that are rivals.
We have let so many good players /coaches go smh..never again
He's consistently just above the Dalton line. That's actually good but not great.
And remember kids, football is a TEAM sport.
You’re blind if you think Andy Dalton is even close to Cousins
@@takedownTony6 no not now. Maybe a few years ago. I'm referring more to the concept of the Dalton line.
@@alikaostermiller ohhh ok well no he’s good not great but to say he is Average is not giving him full credit. He’s fringe top 10 and top 15 but not 15. he threw 33 TDs 7int with the 3rd highest Passer Rating only behind AR and Joe Burrow And PFF(which doesn’t grade in stats but on a play by play basis) also graded him out at 88 which is better than Matt Stafford, Derek Carr, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Dak, Joe Burrow, and pretty much everyone else not named Brady,Rodgers and Herbert. In no way Am I saying he’s better than everyone up there but all the numbers point to good-great. Andy Daltons best year he threw 33TDs and 20 ints 🤷🏽♂️It’s really night and day. Did you know Kirk cousins Orchestrated 4 game winning drives this year and it would’ve been 8 if not for 2 game deciding field goals misses, a dalvin cook fumble and a 3rd and 18 allowed by the defense. His offensive line Ranked 26th out of 32 teams and defense 28th. Just go look at the stats and they will all point to him being pretty good I just challenge you to actually watch a game.
@@takedownTony6 yea that's my point. Above Dalton line = above average and might win a few play off games. I guess you said the same in a more complicated way.
Man RGIII was a generational talent. Sucks his greatness ended as fast as it started with that knee injury… I remember watching his comeback game and seeing his knee snap on the last step of his drop back in his own end zone for that safety and it was one of the worst things I’ve seen in the nfl. Seeing a gruesome cringey injury and at the same time seeing a generational talents career end.
He’s not underrated to the guys on the Vikings paying him. If he took a pay cut then he could be in the conversation for underrated.
Stafford is still Stafford. In the two games we played against him. He’s throw picks in everyone. Granted we have a ball hawk in quandre diggs but still
Arm talent? Yes. He can make pretty much every throw. Problem is, he often times has a deer in the headlights/terrified look on his face when he’s pressured. He doesn’t appear to be composed in the situations that matter, more often than not. And that often will lead to the constant check down that has been a big part of his game. Now, you can argue all you want that it’s “coaching/scheme” and that could be a part of it in some situations. But “in between the ears” is what most of the time separates the best from the rest unless you have some sort of insane athleticism or play making ability. Unfortunately for Cousins, the single biggest problem for me is his decision making in pressure situations more often than not, is not good. He looks flustered, scared, etc. It’s not like he’s not capable of making any plays. He does at times. But it’s the amount of times he shows us that “what do I do now” look that to me doesn’t cut it. And any time someone wants to highlight a game winning drive or something he made, to that, I’ll just point to when he lined up behind the guard instead of center against SF. That’s maybe the most embarrassing play possible from a guy who is your highest paid “leader”. If we can see it as fans, best believe the players aren’t blind to it.
Wait, you're from RVA too?
