How is me being realistic mean my judgement is clouded? I didn't say Burrow and MVP candidate Jalen Hurts were elite, but both are better than Cousins and both have significantly better weapons. On top of that, Hurts has a much better Oline. We can't compete with their talent on offense or defense. Detroit is a little closer like I said, but we are still a long way off from having the Oline they do, and that position group will see very little change.
The Vikings, with their QB, receivers and Oline are a borderline top 10 offense if Andy Reid is calling the plays, and we better hope KOC is not the problem or I will question why he was hired in the first place.
I agree it's the most important position on the field, but there are still 11 guys there. That's all. I don't think much change would need to be made to push this offense into the top 5, and that wouldn't involve changing QBs. I think we both agree there are much bigger problems on the other side of the field, but I do think we can do that without changing the QB... whether or not we do is a different story, but I am getting tired of the narrative that Cousins is what is holding the offense back. Right now, he's not the problem on this team. No where near it.
There is no blind spot. I know that bad QBs have won the SB. I know that average ones have won it. I just also know that very few Super Bowls have been won by average or worse QBs and 0 have been won by average QBs making top end money. The Vikings need better at that QB spot or they need cheaper or ideally, both.
That doesn't solve all of the Vikings problems, but with a cheaper QB it makes those problems easier to solve, and with a better one it makes some of those problems less important. Now I know that is just my "Cousins hate" talking, but it sure seems pretty reasonable to me.
