Irrational?

At the time of the signing, I said that Kirk Cousins is a perennial 10-15 quarterback that is going to be paid like a top 5 quarterback, but looking into deeper stats, he is worse than that because his production in key moments was poor.

Being number 11 does not mean greatness. Choking in big games is not greatness. Paying $84 million guaranteed for less than greatness is irrational.

Life is a miracle that religion can never match.

Second guessing?

Didn't anyone read my posts about Cousins before we signed him?

He is the quarterback we thought he was.

I remember reading your posts. I also remember you not proposing a solution who you wanted at QB when Funky and others asked you multiple times. Pretty easy to sit back and complain when you don't stick your neck out and post your plan.

Kirk Cousins was 4-19 with the Redskins when facing .500 or better teams (based on final schedule). The Vikings are 0-4 this year when facing teams who currently have .500 records this year. This stat looms large for playoffs.

Meh. Two whole games.

I think it's like the Saints and Eagles vs. the Jets and Texans. Something like that. Nothing too crazy.

Their were a bunch of us who did not like Cousins. Issue is this problem will not go away for 2 more years. Vikings did the worst thing they could and now do not have the money to fix it. Should be interesting.

Guess I should've been around these parts when the sign Cousins debate was going on.
I could've joined the Do Not Sign Him party.
I never liked Cousins when he was with Sparty, and never paid a gram of attention when he was a Redskin.
The Vikings (Speilman) fk'd the pig when they (he) somehow thought $84 million GUARANTEED was a good idea.
I'm not ashamed to say I was, and still am a Teddy fan. I whole heartedly believe he was the QB this team needed.

I also wanted Teddy over Cousins (and everyone else). There is no shame whatsoever in being a fellow Teddy fan. The guy has big potential and was usually at his best in crunch time. Lord how I miss that man.
