Many has a similar viewpoint about the Vikings that they do about the QBs. And that is that the Vikings were a team loaded with talent, and just one upgrade a QB away from being Superbowl contenders. And the Vikings bought into it and signed Cousins to a big contract. Yet, the Vikings went from being in the NFC Championship game last season to fighting for a wild card spot this season. And the Vikings had plenty of talent offensively. Yet, Cousins could barely score on MNF when it counted.
Yet, despite Cousins going to a team more talented than the Skins and despite the thought of the Vikings being one QB away from a Superbowl, Cousins hasn't improve the Vikings much as more as playoff position goes. Yet, some still will say he is better than Dak or even assume that the Cowboys would be better off with a QB like Cousins over Dak.
Because Cousins fits into the more "traditional QB" and/or because some are just down on Dak, some will still give Cousins the benefit of the doubt, despite the fact that he has a losing record against winning teams, a losing record in primetime spot light games, and despite the fact of him being on a loaded Vikings team, in danger of missing out on the Wild card. Or getting eliminated in the first round if they make it in.
