Kirk Cousins (Traded to Vikings)

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?...

Cousins embraced being a Raider and his role as mentor to the heir apparent. I knew they signed the right guy when they did the step brothers. Best wishes to him, I'll remember Kirk as a good Raider during his short time here.

Thank you and God bless ya Mr. Kirko Chains. You were the best Raider QB since Gannon. In just 7 months you helped sweep away a lot of the misery Raider Nation had to live through at the QB position. Raider Nation appreciates you. Once a Raider, Always a Raider. :pirateflag:

A post from a Vikings forum that I thought worth sharing lol:

“ Just f*cking fire everyone now and save us the time. Anything that isn't nailed down, fired. Can we fire the Wilves too? Gawd alllllmighty this is officially the stupidestest franchise ever. I'm out of toilet paper so I could've used that 3rd round pick to wipe my ass, and that would've been a better use of it.

This is Baby Kubes giving us the finger isn't it? He's gonna get the last laugh. He had this planned, because he's so much smarter than Desperate O'Conman, the snake politician who keeps dooming this franchise, trying to save his own skin, which is just hanging on by a thread at this point. The moulting was almost finished, and the Yikings think they can reattach it with used bubblegum and ghosts from xmas past.

This is it though right? When this blows up in everyone's face, and it will, everyone is gone right? A complete house cleaning? Fire Teasly too, that guy is clearly an idiot who can get talked into anything. Conman the used car salesman just talked him into buy a lemon ... A F*CKING LEMON WE HAD ALREADY OWNED!!! *bash* KOC isn't even his guy and he's bending over for him, becoming a 3rd dumbass GM to hitch his stupid ass to this absolute loser of a QB. Everything must go when this sh*t show crashes and burns.

At least tell me 2027 will be a clean slate? Give me something to look forward to, or does this guarantee another run with KOC and Kurt in 2027 because they think they f*cked up the Darnold situation?

OMG I hate this useless ass franchise so much. The SS Mediocrity strikes again, dropping anchor in the Bay of 500, with a fresh layer of duct tape. And ofc the purple saps are lapping up every drop of stupidity like a purple headed step child suffering from Battered Fan Syndrome. *facepalm* Which is the ONLY reason they pulled this stunt. You yahoos flooded their inbox with "go get kurt" messages, didn't you? Ugh! The same reason they keep bringing the $hitman back. Is this real? I can't believe this is real.

Go Pack Go .... *wallbang*

Entertaining, no doubt. It could be punched up with more CAPS and a whole bunch of clown emojis.

It is pretty funny they went from having Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones and an early first round QB to needing to trade a 3rd rounder for Kirk Cousins to keep their season alive in the span of 18 months.

Kirk will never be remembered as a Raider since his stint with the Raiders is too short, Kirk will be remembered as a Redskin or Viking since Kirk had a longer career with the Redskins and Vikings

For most of the football world but as a Raider fan, I admire Kirks brief time with us with more respect than the turd for 9 years.

Exactly. When looking at the rearview mirror on Raider QBs I see Kirk then Gannon then Legends. I’d need to be reminded of what came between Kirk and Gannon, then whoever those names were I’d forget in about 10 seconds.

Front window though is all Mendo.

He gave us something that has been missing since Gannon: competent play at QB.
If he would have had Gannon's mobility, who knows.

Indeed. He brought us back to respectability. The Nation will always speak highly of KC.
