Kirk Cousins will always have his detractors; it’s a reality as constant as gravity.
Criticisms and quibbles aside, Cousins has his merits. He has been the QB1 in Minnesota since 2018, never succumbing to injury within that time. As a result, the emphasis on the QB position as a whole was easy to overlook over these past several years. More recent days have pointed to a signs of health for the Vikings at the game’s most important position, though.
Mike Zimmer’s final season featured Sean Mannion and Kellen Mond as the main backups, a pair who were incapable of upsetting the Packers in a late-game match at Lambeau.
