He said that Cousins, entering his seventh NFL season, will profit in more ways than just the contract he signed. Sando wrote: "Winning should be easier with the Vikings defense, which has ranked third in ESPN's efficiency metric over the past three seasons (Washington was 22nd). Minnesota's defensive performance since 2015 was good enough for an average team to win about two-thirds of the time, compared to about 45 percent of the time for Washington's defense over the same span." "A study I produced on quarterbacks after the 2017 season ranked them by how many points they needed to score to win their starts. The median figure was 25 points for Cousins, tied with Andrew Luck and Derek Carr for the most since 2012 among quarterbacks with at least 48 starts over that span. The median was 17 points needed to win for the Vikings quarterbacks last season. Washington scored at least 17 points in 44 of Cousins' 57 starts (77 percent)." Cousins is also guaranteed to play at least nine games indoors each season, eight in Minnesota and one in Detroit. That is up from one (Dallas) when he was with Washington. http://www.vikings.com/news/lunch-break/article-1/Lunchbreak-ESPN-Says-Kirk-Cousins-a-Winner-in-Free-Agency-Among-QBs/0c9dd828-1b35-462a-b0c4-d12540094886?sf184767331=1 Our defense gives the O an insane amount of opportunity. Improved QB efficiency is going to move this team into the upper echelons no questions asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stafford is one of the toughest doods at QB there is. 3 more years in the league than Cousins...and taken 180 more sacks. Of all the QBs drafted in 2012 and have significant starting experience, Cousins has been sacked the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
