Chris Simms Offers Mixed-Bag Endorsement of Kirk Cousins

Few Vikings-related topics are as prevalent as “is Kirk Cousins really good or not.” It’s a strange conversation to engage with folks daily, chiefly because Cousins’ numbers speak for themselves. They are not made up.

Even so, about 10%-20% of Vikings fans assert that Cousins is not worth the large contract he commands, effectively implying that the 4,265 passing yards and 35 touchdowns he accrued in 2020 are not on par with Minnesota’s long-term needs. Only Cousins and Daunte Culpepper have tossed north of 4,200 yards and 35 touchdowns in a single season throughout Vikings history.
