Five questions with Courtney Cronin, a former Bay Area News Group colleague who covers the Vikings for ESPN.com:
Q: The Vikings sank $84 million in guaranteed money for quarterback Kirk Cousins. His stats weren’t good in a 21-16 loss to Green Bay. Is he or is he not the quarterback that can get them deep into the playoffs?
Kirk Cousins is who they thought he was, and he’s admitted as much along the way. During minicamp, Cousins talked about his own reality of being a .500 quarterback but still wanting to take things to the ‘next level.
