With Vikings minicamps scheduled to begin this week we’re about to get our first, second-hand look at some of the new Minnesota Vikings rookie draft picks and undrafted free agents. For the past week it’s been full on hype train as we all did our best to deep dive and get to know what some of these players might bring to the table.
You’ve heard a lot from the Kellen Mond hype-train, a group of people that is eerily reminiscent of the anti-Kirk Cousins grouping. And it makes sense. Mond is basically everything that Kirk Cousins is not when it comes to quarterbacking attributes. But he is still completely unproven at the NFL level and was a third round pick for a reason.

If there is one label that has persisted for Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer lo these many (mostly mediocre) seasons, it’s that he is a “cornerback whisperer/guru”.

If Russell Wilson’s 2020 was a “career year”, how is Cousins bad?
Let’s look at the facts

I can already hear the cacophony of keyboards being angrily typed on from around the state of Minnesota.
One thing that has increasingly struck me as interesting is the fact that the Minnesota Vikings faithful are somehow bending over backward to explain away the one thing we’ve always wanted, a sub-40 (ish) franchise quarterback.
I’ve covered that topic to a point of concern by those around me, but one tidbit that I feel is something I haven’t pointed out and that most Kirk Cousins couldn’t (or more so shouldn’t) respond to (as I’m aware that they will explain this away with their favorite (incorrect) narrative, Cousins in garbage time) is as follows.
