I guess you’re new here. Welcome!

If Dobbs makes that throw and Addison catches it when there were only a couple of minutes left, the Vikings win is sealed. That’s on the players, not the coach.

Hello, thank you, and exactly.

Heck, 3 weeks ago some people here were saying that he needed to be fired.

active NFL players and coaches voted Kirk the 6th best QB in the NFL and the 42nd best OVERALL player in the NFL.

Sort of.

In 2023, the players voted him 42nd best player. The coaches & execs voted him the 12th-best quarterback, “taking the last spot in Tier 2. 50 voters had an exact 25/25 split for Cousins between Tiers 2 and 3.”

For some context, this is Cousins’ first time cracking the second tier since 2017. In six of the previous seven years, he was a Tier 3 guy. Just two years ago, he was ranked as the league’s 18th-best QB in the same space.

You’re coming on way too strong for a banner year for Cousins. You’re taking the 1 year that he’s getting well-regarded and then blanket calling everything else a lie. That’s not how this works. And it’s super ironic that your last sentence is, wait for it… a lie.

Sure, it’s really more of just a mixing up of the statistics you came across than a hard lie. But it’s closer to being a lie than what you’re trying to take aim at.

As you get older, you’ll realize that wildly inflating the argument you’re trying to criticize only makes you look bad. You don’t get anything out of it.

I think it comes from people holding Kirk Cousins to standards they didn’t even hold Hall of Famers to

False.

For instance, you said “he’s had some stinkers” and that’s true but literally every QB does.

Obviously.

for some reason Kirk cousins is the only QB not allowed to have bad games.

False.

Idk what it is but this guy gets a disproportionate amount of hate, it’s never made sense to me or others.

I don’t think anybody actually hates the guy. I will say I’m fed up with watching him. Just years of left feeling like he could have done more or a disappointing finish at the end of a game. Last year being the obvious exception, and even that just waited until the playoffs to happen. And nobody has ever said that he doesn’t have a good arm or isn’t a somewhat-better-than-average NFL quarterback, and at times better than that. I can think pizza is a fine meal, but after having it every night for a week, can still want something else. People don’t hate Kirk Cousins. They may even think he’s a fine quarterback. But they want somebody else.

I think it doesn’t make sense to you because none of the things that you think of as true, actually are.

And it wasn’t even misconception. The stats were real. Maybe a trait that he’s getting past? “Lie exposed” is such clickbait.
