I have rarely seen a QB do more with less. Kubiak has made it clear that he is the guy this year but his play has really defied conventional wisdom. The run blocking is as putrid as it was last season. The pass blocking has been getting compliments but how much as that has to do with Cousins's pocket presence and pre snap reads?

I am not sure the subject deserves its own thread but I think what he has accomplished this season cannot be overstated and he has essentially put the offense on his back. I don't think anyone saw this coming.

Thoughts?...

The Vikings are playoff bound, so I don't want THEIR 3rd... I want the other one LOL

Forgot Spy structured his deal that way so that if we trade him we get out of the 10 mill. Love it

True. But if Spytek gets a 2nd or better, November 10 should forever be Spytek Day in Raiderland.

And sorry Kirk, no more In-N-Out for you.

done deal, just waiting to hear compensation.... 3rd.

He was just dealt.

It’s a 3

Its Dozaaaaaaaa timeeeeeee

End of 3rd round pick. Very disappointing.

So Spytek took a QB no one wanted, paid him $1.3 million, gave his 1st overall QB half a season to sit and learn, and flipped him for a 3rd.

Minn has two threes. Is their 2nd three something they acquired in a trade?

Didn't think Klint would do it. Should of got two 3rds though. Or a 3rd & 5th at least.

À 3rd was as good as I thought we’d get. As you said, the whole Cousins adventure was handled very well.

Also tells me they think Mendoza is ready. A 3rd and 10 million cap space is decent return though was hoping for a 2nd
