But this is something that bothers me. If it's all on the QB, then they all should be. I'm no Cousins supporter to be abundantly clear, but he was only part of the reason why that trophy case was empty for the 6 years he was here.
Which is something basically every single poster agrees with and not a single post my entire time here as shown ANYONE saying it is all on the QB and nothing else matters. I know you say you aren't a Cousins supporter but this is where the narrative/strawman has been coming from for years, his supporters. There are probably a few extreme people who will go to those lengths but 95+% of the discussion around Cousins aren't saying that at all (see this very thread and the other related ones).
The issue is no matter how many people point out other context, this narrative will be pushed to defend Cousins. See below for another obvious example of this, despite it not being the first time the poster has been shown this information...
Tell me, who gets the blame for the Vikings not beating the Giants in 2022? I can tell you this, it's not the defense. I can post hundreds of examples of who fans here blamed. And it's one person.
This is just making things up to bash our fans and push a strawman. I have literally shared this with you before but here it is again. 2/51 people put the blame on Cousins on here and 41/51 blamed the defense. This idea that no one has blamed the defense and it's all on one person is not even remotely the reality of the situation. It's a narrative that has been going on for years. I have never seen such extremism from the fans of one player where years in these things keep getting repeated despite how easy it is to dispute.

did Goff get the blame for their defense falling apart in the NFCCG?
Did he get blamed for their loss in the NFCCG or did their defense? I'd say their defense got the blame as they should have.
Exactly. Fans do not always just blame the QB for everything, making out our fan base to be this dumb and lack basic understanding of football is tiring. It is just rinse and repeat of strawman arguments to bash anything else related in the organization to defend Kirk Cousins. He isn't even on the team anymore either...
