Let's be honest, Kirk Cousins isn't a very good quarterback either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he's shown that he can be efficient without a WR at the level of AJ Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousins and Peterman are on the same level! I get that the Cousins hate is real and warranted but when you start comparing him to bottom-tier QBs, you're just trying to kid yourself at that point and letting the disdain blind you. Cousins is what? 12-14th best QB? Dalton is what? Maybe bottom 10? C'mon. You guys are better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousins is 14 and Dalton is 12. I think these two are in a similar tier.

I'm not a huge fan myself, but he's a top-half guy, and probably will be for the next several years. He's not going to be the top-5 guy that we all want for the Vikings, but that's going to be okay. But, now we, at the very least, know who's going to be the starting QB (save another freakin' injury), so we know what they're going to need to do to support him and make him the best that he can be, because he's here. Did you know that the Vikings haven't had a QB be the leading passer for them for more than 2 seasons in a row since Daunte Culpepper? His last snap for the Vikings will have been 14 years ago next season, right around the time many of us signed up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe what the poster was trying to say is that Dalton and Cousins led teams have very similar results. In fact, Dalton teams have gone to more playoffs than Cousins teams, if I am not mistaken.

I really don't give a fig about Cousins, or any quarterbacks statistics. The only stat that matters is what is in the win-loss columns, and who's holding the Lombardi at the end of the season. Cousins could have top 5 quarterback statistics, but if it doesn't lead to at deep run in the playoffs...it's simply fools gold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win the Super Bowl, he's the GOAT as far as I'm concerned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not putting those top statistics up against competent teams either. He's what 4-25 against teams above .500? You could flop Cousins with Dalton and I doubt you'd see any real difference in the W-L column for either team. Cousins might have higher highs and make some throws that Dalton can't make but both QBs seem to shutdown when it matters most, both teams for that matter too.
