There are 20 NFL teams who would rather have Cousins at his age and salary than their current QB situation.

I’ve never understood the fan base hate for a top 10 QB. There are literally less than 10 other people walking the earth out of 8 billion who would make them more likely to “win now” from that position. I’d be curious to see Vikings fans list which QBs from their entire franchise history are better than Cousins. One could easily argue he’s the best QB that the Vikings have ever had.

I DO think it makes sense to start ramping up the amount of draft capital they spend on QBs. Swing some day 2 picks to see if you find the next guy who can sit and learn a couple years

Day 2 picks on QBs just aren’t worth it. You need to grab one in the first round..

I’m guessing someone will name a few day 2 QBs that made it, but for every one they name I’ll give you 20 that were wasted picks..

You could name even more first round qbs that were wasted picks honestly. Unless its a top 5 pick (and honestly even then) it’s a toss up.

If the Vikings would’ve had a top 5 pick in the next draft I’d take the best d lineman on the board.

That’s only if you resign Cousins. IMO he needs to take a significant pay cut to make it all work.

And either way it’s time to grab a QB and start grooming him. Gotta look towards the future or the cycle will never end.

There’s really no reason the Vikings should not handily beat the Packers today. Green Bay is terrible. They’ve scored 6 points the past 5 weeks in the first half.

Don’t turn the ball over and convert in the red zone. J Love is the worst ranked QB in the entire league under pressure. He is prone to making mistakes when pressured, having thrown 6 interceptions the past 3 weeks.

I’ll take my chances on a first round QB…

You can bet on a fifth rounder.

Vikes don’t believe in first round D-lineman…fact

Ok seriously Joseph, 42 yards is not that far. All that work and no points. Do your job Greg.

Jordan Love’s leading receivers are 2 running backs

It hurts just watching him play

another surgeon like drive by Lambeau legend Kirk. wonder if the pecker faithful miss Erin yet?

dang that Metelus D-back is getting pretty good of late!!!!!!

What a turn of events. Stolen pass for an interception, TD pass the next play. Visitor Lambeau Leap!

poor little Jordan Love, finally decided to throw forward and threw it right to our guy!

next play Kirk shows him how to throw forward

Is it just me or is there a Purple tint to the crowd?

could be, i know a local radio station has been advertising earlier this year about a Trobecs bus to green bay. they’ve been doing it alot of years!1

I’m not trying to be worst case guy, but that looked like an Achilles just like Rogers. I didn’t see Kirks ankle roll, but more like a forward flexing pop.

Ya that was not good. non-contact injury to Cuz.

These FG issues need to stop. Missed FG, blocked FG, penalty on GB’s FG that gave them a second chance. That’s a 9 point swing.

Does the sun ever shine at your house?

Why on earth when up 14 with 6 minutes to go and a rookie qb pinned down on your 20 yard line do you call 2 passing plays? Wtf KOC!!!

Good lord he does it again the next series too…

KOC is insane. Not happy right now.

It usually comes out after the game, depending on the result.

Maybe he understands Hall might be his quarterback the rest of the year?

KOC is trying really hard to make this game closer than it needs to be.

Sometimes the boring, no nonsense plan is the most logical to try win the game. No need to get cute with anything.

Mattison is not good.

Lambeau is a tough place to kick. I got Greg’s back

all those shareholders are selling their tickets to Vikings fans

Well, just gotta hope this Hall kid is a quick study, can play, and makes minimal mistakes.

I don’t understand why the guy on KFAN is so black pill on the guy.

I ended up turning KFAN off after he shot a lady caller down for daring to be hopeful that maybe Hall could play. If I was that guy’s boss. I would send him home for the day. Unwarranted negativity in the face of uncertainty is not a good look.

Torn Achilles, guessing done for the season.

Unless we have another Keenum-esque season where the backup plays lights out, I don’t see us going .500.

Adam Shefter of ESPN is relaying a torn achilles. MRI to confirm.

Guess they will go with Hall and see what they have. Sort of a “tryout” for the remainder of the season. Good luck, rookie.

The remainder of the season could also affect the looming contract situation of Jefferson, who has openly stated he wants stability at the QB position.

Too bad for kirk. Silver lining, they’ll be picking much higher in the draft. Hopefully kwesi doesn’t screw that up and trade for a couple dozen 7th rounders.

Greg joseph had a bad game, i dont think it’s time for a change there but he did not play well today. Not only the field goal miss/block but his kick off out of bounds lead to GB points

No after game shows for me. Prefer to be hunting, fishing or out in the yard…

Shame on the news on Cousins the D seems to have come around under the new DC.
