I think these guys are just about the same guy.......but what I like about Cousins is his competitiveness. Much more competitive than Foles imo.

IN PATON I TRUST.

5th round— Ladd McKonkey WR
6th round— Cash Jones RB
7th round— Carson Steele RB
I can't agree with that. If you look at the games against Minn and NE, how can one get more
competitive than that? We've said we want a QB who can put the team on his shoulders when
the situation requires it, and that's what Foles did. Yes, his past inconsistencies comprise an
item of concern, but I don't think competitiveness is by any means a weakness of his.
Though He slay me, I will trust in Him . . . (Job 13:15)
Foles wanted to retire and he was in his prime. This was a challenge to him that he took, and I respect it. But Cousins is playing to validate his entire life. Football is just a game to Foles - one that he loves, though.
You put a knife in their hands and Cousins walks away.
Good question.

I like teddy a lot. He was hands down the best qb in football while at louisville. And his detractors picked him apart. He is just a smart solid leader.
Meh, pass on Teddy. No thanks.
I loved Teddy coming out of college. With the injury though and the uncertainty about him right now he's the type of guy that if we got him we would still draft a QB at 5.
Attainable QBs that let us draft a developmental QB late
Cousins
Foles
QBs that allow us to wait til 2nd Possibly 3rd round for a QB prospect
Keenum
QBs that still force us to draft a QB at 5
Teddy
AJ Mccarron
Let's Rid3!!!!
Don’t get me wrong, I was really high on Teddy before the draft. He’s an accurate thrower and has a high football iq. I’m just not sure he’s as talented as I thought he was. I think he might be limited in the throws he can make. I’m also concerned by not flashing as a playmaker so far (the modest #’s). However some, or all, of this could be due to playing with AP.
given that teddy hasn't done shit in the NFL, and is coming off a devastating injury, how much would you pay him?
i wouldn't be interested for much more than vet minimum, and i have a feeling he's still going to command more than that due to simple supply and demand at the position. . . JMO obviously, but if we don't get cousins or keenum, the rest of the guys out there are all mike glennons. . . there's no point paying much for any of them-- you're still going to have to draft a QB high, and you're still likely to be starting that kid by mid-season. . . if all we really want is a guy to keep the seat warm for a month or two, just roll with effing trevor and be done with it. . . i personally have very little interest in any reclamation projects, or other team's backups. . . i have zero faith in our coaching staff. . . we need to give those guys the best odds possible, not expect miracles out of them. . . to me, that means either cousins, or one of the top rookies. . .
Well, there is no way Teddy Bridgewater is available unless the Vikings get someone better, like Kirk Cousins. If they landed him, then yes, they let Bradford, Keenum and Cousins walk. The talk from Adam Schefter is that the Vikings want to find a way to keep both Keenum and Bridgewater.
That makes sense since they can't be sure Bridgewater is ever going to recover from knee injury and Keenum didn't play all that well against the Eagles, but it would cost a ridiculous amount of $.
They would have to re-sign Bridgewater to a long term deal and franchise Keenum. Doesn't make sense to me though.
Picking either Keenum OR Bridgewater rather than giving $31m a year to Cousins might make more sense for them though.
If we draft a QB at #5, he needs to start from day one. A one year rental journeyman QB buys us jack shit. The rookie needs to take his lumps early and get to be solid starter material by the 2019 season. No more screwing around with band aids at QB. Cousins, the #5 pick, or swag Kelly if he shows out early should start this year. If we cop out with another journeyman because it’s “safe” I’m going to really start questioning this organization’s motives.
“Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.” -Winston Churchill
But honestly over the past two seasons a solid journeyman game manager would have given us the opportunity to stay in games
That was what TS was supposed to be...That fell flat on its face. Screw this safe conservative crap. We win now, we win often and we do it on the arms of a franchise QB. That is either a QB at #5 who starts from day one on, or Cousins...Just say no to this game manager bs...It works once a decade and we aren't that team.
