Worm Guts Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 A better QB is supposed to improve your offense almost single handedly. It’s the reason QBs get the big bucks. Our offense is worse this year, I think that makes it fair to question the investment one way or another. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that’s the main difference between this year’s offense and last year’s offense. The Vikings signed Cousins to give them a more stable presence at QB. One who they could trust to play more consistently to the level that Keenum gave them in 2017. He’s done that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can’t make the argument that we should invested linemen as opposed to a more expensive QB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that is what the Jaguars and Giants did and how much has that helped them be successful teams versus us with Cousins?

And watching him in Denver, it was the correct call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriminalMind Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Cousins was\is still the right move. Yes, OL has gone to crap, but we knew that was going to be the case. Big difference is that the schedule has been brutel & the offense scheme has been bad. We are asking the OL to overperform their average for 3 games to get back to the NFCCG. Possible? Maybe. I'll take those odds over asking a journey man QB to play 3 games over his average. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a mean one, this purple Grinch wcblack thinking this decision is a cinch. he's down on Kirk, for that we see asking us which quarterback will be the best choice to win one equal game when the answer is obvious and we all know his name fielding the better team, having the better plan, and winning is our goal while mean Mr Black finds his stocking stuffed with coal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's plain at all. Cousins hasn't led a game winning drive all season long. Some guys win when the chips are down. Some just cash in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything being equal, I probably take Cousins but everything isn’t equal. I also don’t think the gap in impact is as big as stats might imply.
