BWG VIKE Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Long time lurker, rare poster. This is extremely heart breaking, I have always liked and supported Cousins. He has brought stability to a position that has been painful to watch since Culpepper. It absolutely terrifying me to think about going through the QB search again. It's very sad to think that beautiful touchdown to Addison will be his last as a Viking. I would be open to a mid 1st rookie with Cousins back if heathly, I would much prefer to take a Mahomes route to developing a QB rather then the Bryce Young. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I wonder if this injury would make it more, or less likely to see Cousins accept a 1 year deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles tendon on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. Cousins has never missed a game because of an injury in his NFL career. He did miss a game in 2021 after contracting COVID-19. https://vikingswire.usatoday.com/2023/10/29/vikings-kirk-cousins-torn-achilles-report-out-season/?utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR1rDIVbpTnL3fzghzamXSYd00-FgLd8F8Gg_JVbPZs5qmqk3Jnvawj7G4g Edited October 30, 2023 by vike daddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 After his injury occurred, Cousins almost certainly understood the severity of his injury and what his teammates would face in his absence. But Cousins didn’t let that reality come crashing down on him when he needed help off the field. Right after Cousins sat in the injury cart on the sideline, he looked up and cheered his Vikings teammates on to finish off their crucial win. https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/kirk-cousins-achilles-injury-cheer-cart-video-reaction-vikings-packers?utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR1APIO3e8phE_yLulLwnccWf29GgPKeW_aQwlENuTpyydIM601RVPTbvmE 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 How do free agents rehab? I wonder if he would consider signing a reasonable 1 or 2 year deal to consider having full access to the Vikings facilities. Maybe he could be the bridge to a QB that they draft by I don't know if he would be ok with that. He probably could still get some decent amount on the open market also but who knows 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen several times over the past few years where teams want to wait until the player has rehabbed themselves before bringing them in.

Nzd07 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I think a lot of what happens with Kirk depends on Hall's play. I know everyone is writing him off but we've seen young QBs step in and perform well recently. If Hall looks pretty good I think we have to roll with the momentum in 2024 and say goodbye to Kirk. If Hall plays poorly, I could see them bringing him back for one year, giving a rookie QB a season to develop behind him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Relax Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Those of you closer to Minneapolis, has Kirk had his MRI yet? Any idea when repair surgery might be done? I would think this week, no?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
