And then we can extend Cousins again for 1-2 years again after that. Guess we don't have to play the games. Who are we giving the Lombardi to them?

wcblack34 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 To me, it's amazing how many fans legitimately thought that a first time coach and GM were going to come in and want to tank their first two years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s ok. I understand you are content to cheer for a mediocre team who doesn’t want to take big risks necessary to turn around a franchise. Because oh no they might end up with the next Ponder and what would they ever do??? It’s ok for me to root for the Vikings & not agree with what they are doing. I said the same stuff after the last Cousins deal. And here we are again. I will admit if I’m wrong on this, but I promise you I won’t be. Cousins will not lead this team to a super bowl, ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it just fine. You don't force QB picks or you set your franchise back 4-5 years. There are 31 QBs that don't win the Super Bowl every year. Doesn't mean that a different one won't win it the next year. I also get that we hired two guys that were widely admired in league circles, and they may need more than 2 months to implement their vision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 In reality, this was the best choice out of a bunch of bad choices that was left by Spielman for Kwesi. I don't think there's a single person here that truly believes that Kirk is a fantabulous QB, but he's good enough at this point in time to get by until someone new is found. This buys them the time to do just that without having to potentially have another Ponder situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twslhs20 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 The subhuman aside. This path was the most logical. Will it translate into a championship? Probably not. Most people are ok with that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people are ok with that though. That's where I'm at. I don't expect it to translate into a championship this year, but I am actually okay with that. With a transition of leadership in the organization, I'm not expecting miracles. I'm taking the long-term approach and want to see the direction. Anything above a playoff appearance is a bonus to me.

Maybe that is unrealistic, but the goal every year, is a championship. If that isn't in the cards, you blow it up until it is. There is no real value in consistently being a .500 franchise.

Sounds like a good way to draft in the top 10 every year 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
