Kirk Cousins (Traded to Vikings)

[Reno Hightower]

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?...

And your point is besides just kicking dirt on the team? You do realize the only reason he was here in the first place is because, you know, the Raiders head coach. Each time you kick dirt on someone you lose a little ground.

And it’s GREAT that Cousins was here. He threw 20 td passes in 9 games. A year ago Geno threw 19 passes in 15 games with a lot more sacks and interceptions.

I’m not one of those guys who is going to call Mendoza a bust after 2 games (or at any point in 2026). If I do that then fine, complain about the negativity.

I can post whatever I want to a degree. And thanks for pointing out the negativity in your post, so nice of you. You like Kirk Cousins who only came here because of the Raiders HC. I always thought Cousins was pretty good QB as well in his career. What I pointed out struck a nerve it did.
