Kirk Cousins Trade Potential?

He would make us better...but we'd basically just turn into the Vikings. Hello, mediocrity! Which sadly is a step up these days. 

A late round pick, sure, if the goal is to be average again. A new contract and locking ourselves into Kirk Cousins as our "future"?  No thanks. 

Nah we’ve got a better D than the Vikings, and comparable skill position players. If we could somehow overhaul the o line and add him we could make some noise.

Noise? U mean another mediocre 5 or 6 wins.

I put Cousins into the same category where I used to put Matt Stafford, a huge stat guy but not necessarily a true winner.

A lot of people now say going to the Rams gave Stafford the lift he needed. That's still to be seen in the playoffs, but it's possible.

Does anyone here think this coaching staff could do that for Kirk Cousins?

Or... anybody?

The knocking of Cousins in this thread is impressive. The guy isnt a dump off king, turns the ball over less than 85% of the league. Has thrown for 93 TDs and 26 picks over the last three seasons and over 4k in back to back seasons. All while avaraging 12 yards per competion over that period of time.

 

His average rating is over 100 for each of the last 3 seasons... He is the perfect bridge QB.

It's baffling. He's been an above average for the past 3 years. And people think they'd take Darnold in return.

Has Cousins ever re-structured a contract?

In this situation he really wouldnt have a choice.

Rhule's not desperate. He's incompetent. He has no concept of desperation. When he does stupid poo, it's because he thinks it's smart. There's no interior pressure on the former short-order cooks.

He hasn’t made this move yet.  I am against it at his age and he doesn’t move the needle unless it is as a bridge QB.  I don’t see this move making much sense.  We will need to draft our QB almost assuredly and that may not happen this draft.  The move for Darnold was a swing and miss for sure and Rhule has to know the next QB move he makes will probably determine his fate here.

Keeping PJ was a definite head scratcher…don’t get that move

I would take Cousins in a heartbeat if we could get him cheap if Vikings release him. I would LOVE Cousins here if we could somehow get the Vikings to take on Darnold as a trade partner

Well with a real QB and a fixed o line I think even Rhule could squeeze 7 or 8 wins out lol.

Would be the best QB we've had since Cam took that shot against the Steelers in 2018. Not saying much but thats a fact.

Id be down to swap for Darnold and two 6ths with one conditional and the potential to be a 4th in 2023 with incentives hit surrounding playtime. Re-sign to a modest 2 year extension around 20 mil/per with maybe 25 guaranteed and you're a lot closer to competing than you were the day before. 

I would not sink any more serious capital than that, especially in what is very likely a lame duck year. 

Unlike Darnold and Teddy Cousins has actually performed with some level of success in this league. Hes not a top 10 guy obviously but with the market for qbs going up every year... if you aren't gonna draft one then the price for average is going to be stupid. Hell, Darnold has the 15th highest QB hit in the league next year...

Then the Vikings hire Nathaniel Hackett, he fixes Darnold and they become winners. Meanwhile Rhule and his staff pretty much destroy whatever ability Cousins still has and we stay in the basement.

(because that's how things work in Pantherland)

Would rather have Garopallo(sp?) if we go with another vet. But I'd prefer they roll with the scrubs already on the roster if they want to throw more money at a vet qb.

[DeeJay]

Can we trade Sam and Rhule for Cousins?

[Eazy-E]

What’s funny is that Kirk Cousins and Matt Stafford are the same caliber of QB imo and we tried to trade our first for Stafford lmao.

it’s almost a guarantee at this point that Tepper and Rhule will do something stupid again this offseason to continue the dismantling of this franchise.

He is better than anything we have but he also will drive you mad with untimely turnovers and goofs.  Also, 30 which isn’t that old but very luke warm on bringing him here.  Not sure he fixes things.  Agree on your comments about another vet unless its someone crazy like Rodgers (ain’t happening)
