Anyone still think Washington should've paid Cousins?

Cousins will always be a loser. He's 4-24 against teams with a winning record. He stat pads between the 20s and chokes when it matters. Like tonight.
I want the Vikings in the playoffs. Remember when Cousins was better then Dak and Zimmerman was a great coach. Good times.

Kirk also had a much better OL in Washington.
He has much better weapons in Minnesota and a better defense. He doesn’t even have to do a lot and still sucks.

Many Commander fans were fine with the team not resigning him and I agreed at the time.

Just goes to show how scarce good QBs are and the premium that comes with even mediocre talent.

Never did understand the Vikes letting Keenum go just to get Cousins. They seemed to be about the same type and performance level quarterback, made it nothing but a lateral move that didn't improve the team...

Dude was overrated in Washington. IMO the mistake the skins did was trading Fuller and a 3rd for a 34 year old above average(at best) QB.

It's just the way of the current NFL. Even with the "friendly" rule changes, getting decent QB play is hard for a majority of the teams. Which is why guys like Brock O, Mike Glennon get huge deals based off small sample sizes. And why Cousins gets a huge deal when he wasn't all that in D.C.

It's funny how with the success of young quarterbacks like Dak, and others, NFL teams value the aged veteran over the young guy. Guys like Fitzpatrick get chance after chance while the young guys languish on the bench. Sometimes it works, but overall doesn't seem to be any big advantage to go with the graybeards...
