News: Sources: Vikings have identified Raiders QB Kirk Cousins as prime trade target

[CT Dal Fan]

I agree.its funny these same guys will say he sucks but use him to defend the likes of Cousins lol

I agree. I can see the correlation between big numbers without playoff wins with Dak and Cousins. That's about it.

Again, my last response for today but Dak would be a huge upgrade for them as well. They are both much better than the trash they have run out there. They have a defense that can’t be wasted by the likes of Murray or Wentz…..that side is Super Bowl ready.

I guess thats what im getting at. They had great defenses under Cousins. A few of those years they gave up less than 18. I dont get repeating this story again.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

He is ahead of Dak too in other stats. I can’t with you today TMC, don’t have time to argue back and forth

We wouldn't be arguing if you weren't trying to argue Cousins is a upgrade lol. But we will see. I'll admit im wrong in the next few weeks lol.

Cousins has 20 TD's, and 2,300 yards on a bad team with no line and no real weapons outside his TE. He has been having a great year. The gap between him and what Vikings have is significant, whether you want to see it that way or not

I've seen that guy play long enough especially in prime time games to know he's food.

Im not saying he is all world, but he gives them a chance they realistically didnt have before.

Of the options available, Cousins was probably the best fit

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Indeed .. always better to go with the disappointer you know.

I'm kidding .. with the defense the Vikings have, Cousins will likely help them a lot over what they've had.

That defense of theirs is insane, any kind of decent offense would make them contenders

I don’t know about the options available but for me I like to go find the diamonds in the rough. Who can offer something when the play breaks down or nothing available. I get beggers can’t be choosers but a prime example is a guy like JJ McCarthy which wasn’t an option for them.

I get what you are saying, but they have alot of weapons. I think they needs a guy that can consistently get the ball to them. Plus Cousins already has a good rapport with Jet

I felt that way when they got Kyler. Kyler stinks but I think they may actually need a good QB to run that offense.

Kyler is too easy to contain in the pocket. Part of it is his height. Guys that short need to be able to see through the line because they are not gonna be able to see over it. Guys that have thrived 6' and under like Brees and Wilson become masters at pocket multiplication to create lanes. Kyler was never going to put that effort. Probably should have just played baseball

Joe Burrowisa immense upgrade. Kirk Cousins is notl

Joe is a bigger upgrade, but Cousins is pretty dang significant.

Would you say it wasn't much of an upgrade if it was Dak?

 

[MarcusRock]

Now that the Vikings have actually traded for Cousins, which Mod is going to have the stones to close Reality's thread because the rumor's been realized and the thread is no longer relevant? I dare you, @jazzcat22.

Yeah I think Dak is a top 10 qb. I think Cousins is top 20.

I think guys like Goff, Dak, love, etc. Are a tier above...

No, will leave it open just for you.

 

[morat1959]

I would ask for 2 first for dak, if they had lost I think the trade gets done.

Nobody wants Dak and 2-first is fantasy land.

 

[Kevinicus]

Cousins does just as much as Dak, but with less, and for way less money.

You have a bias here.

Are you talking about this year or over the years?

Because last year he had Bijan, Pitts and London…. All top 10 picks in the draft. He was abysmal in Atlanta and got cut.

Over the years. And not just skill position players.

And Pitts has been a severe disappointment, regardless of his draft positioning.

This year is way in Dak's favor with worse results.

They have a SB window this season and are trying to hit a homerun. One thing they know is they can’t win a SB with who they currently have.

I’d trade Dak to them tomorrow because they are desperate to not let that window close without a trip to the SB, but Jerry would never enter a rebuild phase even if he didn’t have a no-trade clause to deal with. He thinks we are always on the cusp because he’s stupid

Cousins became available and is having a career year so far. This makes sense if you view it from the perspective of wanting to win now. This is what all-in looks like
