i get that.
but are the Commanders better since they got rid of cousins?
doesnt look like it.
in my opinion...we got a good young QB we can win with.
not even 30...2nd most wins over his 4yrs...2div titles...2 trips to the playoffs including a win over rus and seattle.
pretty damn good so far for a guy picked in the 4th rd and lets remember he was saddled with garrett.
with mccarthy...and 4yrs under his belt...i think it only gets better.
we got a good'n.....time to pay him.
every day week month we dont.
it only gets higher.

Is Minnesota any better with Cousins than they were with Keenum or Bridgewater? It seems like the Vikings have a revolving door and find themselves in the hunt. The Commanders made the right decision, while Minny made the poor choice.

Remember last season when Dak was LIGHTING it up and everyone was eating crow. Nearly everyone who trashed him the year prior was saying how wrong they were on him. And then as the season progressed and we started losing everyone went right back to bashing Dak. Despite the fact that THE ENTIRE NFL INCLUDING NFL FANS knew we had an extremely inept coaching staff.
Now we get to see him work with a real coaching staff in his fifth year, and he will have developed even more than he has already. Ungrateful fans, with no patience will never understand this, but it will be fun watching you guys eat more crow.
BTW, you could've had Dak for $30M if you would've acted sooner and then we could've used the franchise tag on Byron Jones. We'd be in much better position to draft BPA.
But here we are. We move slower than the rest of the league.

Dak can get 10-6 or better on a 100m$ deal. He doesn’t have to be a top 10 QB to pull that off

He can barely get to that when we have a loaded cap and offense! lol what the hell makes you think he can consistently do it when he's literally eating up a good chunk of the cap?

Because you never lost because of Dak. You can fix the problems you had in the past and you don’t need to throw money at them to do so

how?
the skins are a revolving door at QB and on their 2nd head coach.
they should have kept him.
i agree with you on minn.
i thought keenum was good and didnt understand the moves at all.
but washington has gotten worse.

Dak is better than cousins and keenum in my view.
he's gotten better each year.
time to pay the man.

Yes, yes we sure have. His poor performances in games against the Seahawks in 2017....or the Eagles in 2019 were certainly reasons we lost in big games. Dak struggles to consistently put together good games outside of his rookie season (he was in an ideal situation)

Heck, he wasn't even really a game manager last year, he switched to a more aggressive approach and it may have made him worse.

Neither is Garroppolo
Neither is Carr
Neither is Tannehil

But they are QBs, and you either pay QBs like they’re top players, or you don’t have a QB.
Since Rodgers is getting older there is only one real super star quarterback, Mahomes. Dak is lumped into a group of 12. I seen him beat and out play both Wentz and Wilson. You can’t tell me each of those quarterbacks are much better, I don’t see it.

he was still better than Garoppolo who brought his team to 13-3 on a 100m$ deal

Because the Vikings are getting similar results they got with mediocre QBs with a QB they paid big money for and gave an extension to. Now not only is their cap taking a hit, they're not going to win a championship. They're already losing pieces and it will be tougher to replace.

And Cousins only got them to the playoffs once - let's stop pretending they let a great QB go. Commanders made the right choice.

Just about done with this joke franchise. A semi intelligent front office would have parlayed Dak into 3 first rounders when his value was highest. Now we get to watch a team crippled by a contract bigger than Aaron Rodgers deal. Let that sink in.

Good chance this guy goes from fan favorite to hated in a year if this is true.

With a great defense. They also lost the Super Bowl due to lack of offensive weapons outside of Kittle.

Yes, you’re blaming their faults and attesting their positives to what SF surrounds Jimmy with. You even made an excuse for Jimmy’s SB loss. Dak deserves equal recognition.
