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.

      Verge, why do you like Mykel Williams?

      No, but considering that over a third (~35%) of their schedule are the other three teams in the NFC South and all three have strong starting (and back-up) RBs that the offense leans heavily on to open up the pass game. ATL: Bijan has this season and next season before the Falcons have to make a decision on his fifth-year option, Tyler Allgeier is a proven back-up RB that could start for some teams, and 2024 sixth-round selection Jase McClellan returns from a knee injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the season starting in early September. Combine that with their QB situation, and that's a team that is going to lean heavily on the run just like they did last season when they were 8th in the league in rushing attempts, 10th in rushing yards, 8th in rushing TDs, 9th in rushing attempts on 1st down, . NO: Similar situation as ATL, but for different reasons. Derek Carr is in the second to last year of his deal and the QBs behind him are Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener, and Ben DiNucci. However, they also have Alvin Kamara. One thing that we know about Kellen Moore from his stints as an OC is that he likes to lean heavily on a versatile RB1 while bringing in an arguably equally versatile RB2 to keep their foot on opposing defenses. When Moore had Zeke in Dallas, Zeke was 4th in the league in touches during those four years but Pollard still averaged 10 touches and nearly 60yds a game. Look for the Saints to shore up their RB room in the draft with Kendre Miller, CEH, Jordan Mims, and Xazavian Valladay all competing for touches behind Kamara. TB: Bucky Irving exploded onto the scene last season, but we can't forget more than capable (now-)RB2 Rachaad White. White is on the last year of his rookie deal, but Irving is under contract until 2028. Last season, the Bucs were 10th in rushing attempts, 4th in rushing yards, 3rd in YPC, 7th in carries of 20+, 8th in carries of 40+, and 7th in first down rushing attempts and that helped Baker Mayfield be one of the most efficient passers in the league with a 71.4% completion percentage (good enough for 2nd in the league).
