Kirk Cousins has always been a pretty inconsistent quarterback, regularly mixing in shaky performances with strong ones.
This year, it seems like Cousins has been poor way more than he’s been good. This afternoon, he’s been horrendous through the first half against the 0-5 Atlanta Falcons.
Cousins has tossed three interceptions as Minnesota has fallen behind 20-0. The only good news for the Vikings is Atlanta has been historically bad at closing out games this season.
Overall, Cousins has seen better days. He’s in the process of getting roasted on Twitter right now as a result of his brutal half of football.
losing diggs took the vikings from being loaded to merely having a very good receiver, very good back and rather promising rookie receiver.
and kirk cousins needs “loaded” to make it work. https://t.co/VrEY7tu5tY

The Vikings could have let Kirk Cousins play out the last year of his contract. They instead extended him through 2022.

I will never start Kirk Cousins again. I will never start Kirk Cousins again. I will never start Kirk Cousins again. I will never start Kirk Cousins again. I will never start Kirk Cousins again. I will never start Kirk Cousins again. I will never start Kirk Cousins again.

Imagine handing Kirk Cousins a blank check thinking that would cure whatever ails you

Aggravating things in any event, for Minnesota is the reality they expanded Cousins through 2022. It makes it harder to proceed onward from him this offseason, except if they need to eat a significant bit of pay.
Couple of people have asked about Cousins contract for next year. He’s not cuttable at all unless the #Vikings want to eat a ton of salary. $20M dead to trade so if you can find a trade partner that is possible.

We’ve seen Cousins skip back from terrible parts previously. Perhaps today is another of those days.
On the off chance that it isn’t, the protesting in Minnesota will become stronger.
