Take a look around at some of your favorite (or at least loudest) NFL analysts and they will tell you that quarterback is the most important position in football.
While some of that has been contradicted with the success of lesser known guys such as Case Keenum and Nick Foles, teams around the league are still backing up the Brinks truck trying to find some consistency at the position.
The Minnesota Vikings are no exception to this trend. After years of exploding knees, first-round draft busts and flashes in the pan, the team decided to end things by throwing the NFL’s first multi-year, fully guaranteed contract at free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins this offseason with the hope that they finally have their final piece of the puzzle.
