49ers going to pick up Kirks 36 million dollar salary when Purdys on a rookie deal?Vikings should trade for Trey Lance.
They can keep all three of their QBs for half that amount.49ers going to pick up Kirks 36 million dollar salary when Purdys on a rookie deal?
QBs that lost to the Bears, and the points their team scored:Vikings should trade for Trey Lance.
Didn't say the Vikings were trading Cousins for Lance.49ers going to pick up Kirks 36 million dollar salary when Purdys on a rookie deal?
No way you part with Jefferson. He’s a once in a generation talent.QBs that lost to the Bears, and the points their team scored:
Bailey Zappe 14
Davis Mills 20
Trey Lance 10
If you’re going to tank, just trade Jefferson and tank. Maybe don’t take a $9 and $11m cap hit the next two years for a guy that has done nothing to indicate he’s can play in the NFL.
Kirk is getting paid a ton, but he’s our guy for at least next season because of his contract. I also like Cousins as the QB. The defense needs flushed and rebuilt from ground up.I don’t understand how Vikings fans think a different quarterback is going to take them to the next level when there are much bigger gaps in this team. Just my opinion and not trying to pick a fight (I don’t care about the Vikings one way or the other) but genuinely curious to understand this take.
Is it the contract? Or his play?
Hey Vikes, Fran is calling.
QB is not a problem area. Cousins led a passing attack just outside the top 5 this season, and a top 10 offense overall. Cousins played pretty well today in the face of a stacked defensive front from NY with both Thibodeaux and Lawrence.I don’t understand how Vikings fans think a different quarterback is going to take them to the next level when there are much bigger gaps in this team.

Actually Mahomes is by himself as the superstar QB with a huge cap hit and be a definite SB contender.Take the defense down to the studs and rebuild. Complete overhaul.
However, the franchise has no future with Kirk at QB. He's good, but won't ever get you past a season like this without cutting his contract SIGNIFICANTLY!!
Only two ways to win in today's NFL is:
1) Superstar QB (There is only 3 in the current NFL - Mahomes, Allen, Burrow)
2) Cheap contract QB, build a star studded roster around him
I thought Cousins made some great throws and played well yesterday. That last short-of-the-sticks throw wasn’t good, but it seemed to me he had a ton of pressure and that was the only target he had time to throw to … the Giants defender stuck with Hockensen and made a good play to bring him down.Kirk is getting paid a ton, but he’s our guy for at least next season because of his contract.

The huge contract the Vikings gave Cousins is a big reason fans are bagging on him … they’re paying him like a championship QB but he hasn’t brought them one yet. However, when the defense waves feebly at Saquon Barkley slicing through them like a hot knife through butter or stands around scratching their balls as wide receivers run patterns that get them 20 yards of open space, your team just isn’t going to win against high-level competition. That’s not all on Kirk.
If Cousins get sent, you can wave goodbye to Jefferson too. There isn't a replacement readily available right now who's gonna throw for 4,000+ yards, 2,000 of which solely to JJ.
