Panthers have reached out to Minnesota for Kirk Cousins

I will say this…

The Vikes had one of the worst defenses in the league this year. 
 

Week 1, Dalvin Cook fumbles in OT.

Week 2, their kicker misses a chip shot for the win

Against Detroit, Dantzler gives up a 5 yard cushion in the 5 and watches a dude run a comeback route in front of him for the win. 

3 games that the Vikes had absolutely no business losing. They win these and they’re 11-6 and in the playoffs with a terrible defense. 
 

Cousins isn’t awful. He’s a good QB but yeah, he isn’t worth what he wants money wise. He isn’t going to win you a SB. So if Tepper is just trying to fill the stadium and sneak into the playoffs, Cousins makes sense. Come November/December if this team is leading the division the stadium would be full

The Following Is An UpDate From The Viking Territory:
 
It is unclear if the Vikings are even shopping Cousins. There are many people in the world who believe Cousins isn’t very good compared to his contractual value – and they just assume the Vikings leadership wants to trade him.
 
No person associated with Minnesota’s current leadership has detailed plans to trade Cousins. Instead, the opposite sentiment has been voiced, especially at Kevin O’Connell’s introductory press conference last week. The new Vikings skipper expressed optimism about building Minnesota’s offense around Cousins. And those aren’t exactly words that jell with an impending trade of the person being praised.
 
However, if Cousins refused to restructure his contract, the franchise might not have a choice. Cousins will slap a $45 million cap hit against the books in 2022, and the Vikings need money for free agency and the draft.

Never rush for a QB in a panic. You play the long game. You go into 2022 with Sam and if he poops the bed, then we have a top pick in the 2023 draft. Then you grab your QB of the future. Cousins gets us 7 wins or so, and 7 wins the following season, and 7 after that, and we never have a high enough pick to replace him. QB limbo.

Bro, you aren't getting it....Rhule is on a short leash and if getting a veteran QB saves his a$$, then rational team building theories go out the freaking window.

Lol but all the great football minds here on the Huddle know more than Tepper and Rhule and Fitterer right?

Maybe, maybe not. But it's fair to say, based on the product on the field that they (Rhule and Tepper, jury still out on Fitt because Rhule runs the clown car) know far less than most other owners and HCs in the NFL, and that's who they're up against. That's who's trying to fleece them in trades like the fuging Jets did.

Appeal to Authority doesn't work when the """""authority"""" has proven they can't walk the walk. Hell they can't even crawl the crawl.
