Laughable. Is a rookie guaranteed....guaranteed to be better than Mullens/Dobbs/Hall...QBs with experience. Those three couldn't completed passes Kirk makes in his sleep. What makes you think a rookie...with zero experience...can come in and knock off 3 existing QBs? So your comments are wishful thinking.
Not for the price tag he's wanting they should. Kwesi's vision is clear: a scrappy young team with a ton of cap space to build a roster with. This offense is so good already, I feel like a competent rookie QB can step in and operate it. 🤟🏾
One Wild Card win when the Vikings brought him in to get them past the NFC championship game. They missed the playoffs that next year and several years with Kirk. He’s a good but not great QB and he’s not good enough to get a team past the cap limitations his contracts bring. They need to rebuild the team and acquire a QB on a rookie contract … and it’s best case for the new QB’s development with Jefferson on the team.
All fair points. Not to mention that one wild card victory came courtesy of a rookie Saints corner making the dumbed mistake/decision on a mircle TD pass I've ever seen. It should have been a routine tackle and a Vikings loss. Kirk Cousins is a stat collector who makes a lot of dumb decisions in the red zone and wilts when the lights are brightest. That, and he'll be 35 when the 2024 season kicked off and is coming off one of the worst injuries a QB can have.
@@nightraven129 how many super bowls??? Nobody cares about his padded stats. He's 36 coming off a torn Achilles trying to make Patrick mahomes money. Stop it! People who are trying to justify it are Kirk fans not Vikings fans?
Hell no. Let Kirko leave. One playoff win in six seasons and 10 -24 record against teams with winning records. Not good for a QB who was suppose to be the final piece to win a Super Bowl.
As a Vikings fan. Kirk is just to high priced for what you get. He gets the stats and thats great but, he doesn't get the wins, you literally have a great WR core. Contracts can hurt a team and I think this is the case. This it what hurts Minnesota its not like new England or dallas where players will take a little cut to get there. We have to overpay and i think this is the true reason Minnesota is where its at.
Been so close with him? HES WON ONE PLAYOFF GAME!! He has helped deplete the roster with his massive cap hits! Move on Draft a QB use money savings to build THE ROSTER.
@natelav534 yeah because they can't bring in a stop gap veteran... Kirk was working so well here. Made the playoff twice in 6 year and costed the team 185 million.
@@Ratbiker48 who? Baker and russ already signed. All other free agent qb's are probably going to be even worse than a rookie. There is a qb drought and we just let go of a qb that easily puts up 4k and tons of passing touchdowns every year. Our defense has been a nightmare until last year. People who blamed kirk are clueless lmao
@natelav534 clueless? What team did Kirk walk into when he first signed here? Top 5 defense and weapons to throw to.. he didn't take us to the playoffs. He was the one key player away to put the team over. But yet couldn't do what Case did with same talent year before. You want a QB to take up 20 percent of the cap to keep the rest of the roster depleted? Yeah that's a winning idea. They can bring in Darnold for first few weeks until rookie has playbook a Down. Why are you so stuck on a old hurt QB that thinks he deserves guaranteed contracts? Stats don't lead to wins.
I would like Cousins to stay for another couple of years, but I also would like the Vikings to draft the QB for after Cousins. I know that there have been so many fans and a LOT of critics that have taken a dump on Cousins throughout his career. The thing is, sure, QB W/L is a stat, it's a dumb one though. QB doesn't play defense. Cousins' defense at the beginning in the Zimmer era started to fall off the cliff. And then Donatell in the first year of Kwesi/O'Connell, was an absolute joke of a defense. Last year, he was on pace for a Hell of a year, with a defense under Flores that was finally showing life. Then he popped his achilles. Then started the QB carousel that was last year after week 8, and that was just a straight nightmare. Sign Kirk to two years, draft a rookie QB high, possibly moving up, to work under Cousins and learn, then after this contract, just let it go.
Flip a third round pick to Chicago for Fields and draft JJ McCarthy, Michael Penix or Bo Nix at 11. That gives you two possible franchise QB's to go with your two star wideouts and star tight end. Plus you save a boatload of cash.
Guys, it's Kirk Cousins, not Tom Brady or LeBron. Let him go and find your rookie scale QB, otherwise you are just continuing to waste and not maximizing your future with guys like Jefferson. Staying status quo, for what?
Resigning Cousins will be detrimental to the Vikings franchise. Dumping those funds into a 36yo QB that has won ONE playoff game will be idiotic. The team is very shallow in depth and has too many holes in the Defense to address. Bye Kirk. Thanks for the stats. But no thanks for hampering the roster. Dude was paid difference maker type money for non-difference maker type play.
Give him the money we already owe him and let him walk. He was brought in to take us back to an NFC championship appearance or better. We never came even close to that for the amount of money we gave him. That being said, he is the healthiest QB we had by far.
When Vikings coach was asked last season who would start after Cousins had gotten injured and Dobbs had fallen off Coach said whoever could get the Ball to Jefferson the Best would be the starter. I think with a healthy Cousins he would probably be the Best QB there to get the Ball to Jefferson since hes already Proven he can do it. Vikings need to keep Cousins while they groom a young QB. Vikings should not take the QB position for Granted. It could get Ugly if they do. You dont know what you got till their gone. Be Smart.
Cousins is just one of those guys... good person, good athlete, above average arm talent. But that drive, that Killer instinct, is missing in some way.
The Vikings will find a way to muck this up. That's why we've never won a SB. We muck up easy decisions. YOu have a top 5 QBs in terms of production. Your ONLY goal now is to surround him with players that can make plays. We need the Defense to make plays. Last year, for a stretch, they made plays. But then towards the end when it mattered, they dropped off the planet. We need to fill the defense. We need one or two more O-line. All the skills positions are set, except for maybe a RB.
As a non-Vikings fan, I'm mixed on the subject. I feel like he should have another shot since he got injured before. On the other hand, I think Minnesota might feel better with a new QB. Nothing against Cousins but just doesn't feel like he's cutting it anymore
All these Kirk haters have no idea what we are going to lose when he's gone... AKA look at the season after he got hurt - it was horrid. Thinking that a Rookie QB is going to make things better with a subpar defense is borderline psychotic thinking... Finding that Mahomes in the draft is very slim! Kirk knows what he is worth and the talent proves it - JJ, who is the best WR in the league wants him back... why would he go out of his way pleading for him back if he didnt believe in him as a QB? Also... Kirk doesnt play defense so let's fix the defense to help Kirk.
She makes it sound like the Vikings are the New York Jets or something. The Vikings do win, they may not have gone all the way but they did go far this season, they were on the hunt, so it's not like they don't win...there are worse teams out there.
Just loving the utter hypocrisy of the media about Kirko. First it was he never wins anything blah blah. Now it's like oh hes the best QB blah blah. All he ever will be known for is getting the money. His agent ahould be in the Hall of fame.
Let Kirk Cousins go he is too old to stay in Vikings it makes him one expensive player like to see him out of the Vikings just won playoff game and lost the rest especially one home game against the Giants bye-bye Kirk Cousins better send him back to the Commanders if they want him back
NO. WE DON'T WANT HIM ANYMORE - HE IS TOO GREEDY AND DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THIS TEAM. HE WILL NEVER WIN A PLAYOFF. HIS ACHILLES WILL GO OUT IN HIS OTHER LEG SOON.
I'd say a rookie has an equal chance of taking the team as far as Kirk at this pt

No. Get rid of him. He hasn't done anything but win one playoff game for almost a quarter of a BILLION dollars
RESIGN KIRK COUSINS!!!!!!
For what sam Donald . Your a dumbell. Cause thats who there talking to a do do head
Thank you, exactly! And that’s exactly the reason (well one of the reasons) that I don’t want him in Atlanta! 😩😂

viking fan. Your getting sam Donald for 53 million s year. Your just dumb
He is a great qb. You dumb
I’m a bears fan. I’ll sign him to a 2yr deal. Don’t workout we still have CW

Can't afford to fix the Defense if you resign Kirk Cousins for too much money. Not hard to understand that.
If he's not coming back on a deal, it's time for him to go.

Already signed to the Falcons.

This aged well 😂
A big HELL NO ! , let him go bye bye. Go put another team in cap space hell.
Well they have 13 minutes to do so
Well they already did so 😅😅😅😂😂😂

Time for the Vikings to move on. Draft a QB. Groom him, get a solid cheap veteran QB.
Well he’s on the falcons now
This didn't age well :P
Hell yeah they should they got my homie nephew ova there jordan
Ready to let him go.
Nobody wants him here for more than 1 season. Let him get his bag- it's the only thing he cares about anyway.

No ketchup no pork

No 🥴😂 dudes a bum
Goodbye Kirk you won’t be missed, 4 and 8 check down 1 playoff win, stats are empty
No way Kirk stays
Sure he is.
NO. WE DON'T WANT HIM ANYMORE - HE IS TOO GREEDY AND DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THIS TEAM. HE WILL NEVER WIN A PLAYOFF. HIS ACHILLES WILL GO OUT IN HIS OTHER LEG SOON.

Not your money why care lol
