On paper it's a very complete roster, and it's been for several season, I'm more in the camp of "Kirk being unclutch is a lazy narrative", he seems to have a good connection with TJ Hokenson, Jefferson is amazing, don't know when he'll come back but Thielen is awesome too... They are 12 and 3... And yet this team doesn't look dominant... Each time I watch them it seems the defense collapses at times, or Kirk is off on some throws... One way or another they need some lucky breaks to get Ws even against a team like the Giants. They don't look like contender...

Why is that in your opinions ?

Cousins has become a better QB as time has gone on. He is clutch, he can perform in primetime, etc. I honestly think he is better than Dak, young guys like Tua. I’d probably rank him 9-10 in QBs right now.

I’m gonna be honest, I’d take him over Lamar Jax, Dak, Stafford, Kyler Murray, Goff, etc.

He owns the biggest comeback of all time. Nuf said.

Unfortunately Minnesota defense isn’t great and he can’t do a damn thing about it.

There is a skill to being a running QB, Mahomes and Russ ran a lot, but they got down and out of bounds. Hit avoidance. But even if you don’t get hit and run, you are taking a chance…Dak several years ago and Kyler Murray this year had the dreaded non contact injury. 2 QB who became different players after running injuries > RG3 and Carson Wentz. Wentz used to run

I just never have thought Lamar Jax is a good passer. Fields showing something, but he needs to throw better.

2022 - got Redskin fans saying nice things about Cousins .. hell he got vikings fans saying nice things about Cousins

System familiar is always an advantage. Why Heinike is relevant here

I watched that game and the Colts' lead was so flukish (blocked punt and flukish TOs etc...) that the comeback didn't feel as amazing as the score said.

Anyway, I agree on Cousins, let's see if he can put that "unclutch" narrative to sleep this year, but a) he'll need his defense to stop shitting the bed, b) this offense still needs to take another step to get some respect, it still doesn't feel like they control and dominate like maybe they should IMO.
