WHAT IS HAPPENING IN VIKING LAND - Essex Johnson - 03-21-2020
The mass exodus of Viking players especially on Defense has we wondering about Zimmer.. is his style wearing thin ?? It seems the Vikings have been very up and down in his 6 year tenure and without a fluke win in 2017 playsoffs.. he would be 1-3

Is Zim the one making these decisions? They don't seem like HC wanting to win to keep his job types of decisions to me.

Can't mention the fluke win over the Saints without mentioning the fluke loss to the Seahawks.

not even close.. Seattle scored 24 straight points to go up 34 to 17.. sure they had to hold on but nothing like this play for sure..

I was referring to the game a few years back when Minnesota's kicker missed the chip shot field goal to lose the game. Seattle won 10-9 because of it.

Personally I'd hate it if my team signed Cousins to that contract...

Why he is a top 10 QB in this league?

I don’t think he’s much better than Andy honestly. Probably on the same par. He can lead a good team and be competitive, but he’s never going to take over a game and win it like the elite guys.

There is like what 5 elite guys in the league? Good luck finding that type of QB there not that many out there.

Patrick Mahomes
Drew Brees
Russell Wilson
Aaron Rodgers
Tom Brady (though I still think he’s a product of a phenomenal system)
Lamar Jackson
Deshaun Watson
Philip Rivers
Dak Prescott
Matt Ryan
Carson Wentz
Ben Roethlisberger
Matthew Stafford
I feel like different classes of QB’s but all these guys are significantly better than Cousins.
Jimmy Garappolo
Ryan Tannehill
Jared Goff
Andy Dalton
Gardner Minshew
Derek Carr
Josh Allen
Cam Newton?*
The group of QB’s I think he’s closer to being on par with.

The vikings just got into a tough spot where they couldn’t afford to pay all their good players. I think they are overpaying Cousins, making the issue worse.
Seems like the strategy is to retool through the draft this year on defense, at wr and oline.
