If Cousins is part of the outbreak of unvaccinated players that cause a forfeit, cut his ass immediately. Yes his 2022 salary is guaranteed but the planning and mindset can begin for a rebuild. Same with Harrison Smith and Theilen.

I'm on board with that.

You can NOT invest all your franchise resources building team culture when your team leaders refuse to get over themselves for the good of the team.

I concede that vaccination can be a tough personal decision for some people ... but ... we are talking about highly-privileged individuals clinging to a narrow view that undermines everything that is larger than themselves. (and unlike some that feed from a tube of misinformation, our players have every possible resource at their fingertips ... including a medical staff to get first-hand, face-to-face information).

and ... they are 'effin with my team.

I'm addicted to this team ... that won't change ... but I just don't like it as much anymore. Cousins, Smith and Thielen have cheapened themselves and, kinda like Russia ROC and the Olympics, made the game cheaper as well.

I will follow along but I refuse to invest my expectations on a season at the mercy of Cousins' personal plexiglass.

I have tried to like and cheer for Kirk Cousins in the time he has been our QB, but this latest anti vax stance has made me question just where he is coming from.

Deep dive into what's in Kirk Cousins head? Honestly I feel I wish I hadent, Besides that god dude, his father Don has a large space rent free in there...

https://churchleaders.com/news/402943-is-the-vaccine-decision-private-if-others-are-affected-christian-qb-kirk-cousins-weighs-in.html/2


Don Cousins tweeted, “As his father I would be saddened if Kirk were to speak of fearing Covid and even sadder if he was fearful of dying. ‘For God has not given us a spirit of fear…’ 2 Tim 1:7 ‘perfect love (Gods) drives out fear…’ 1 Jn 4:18. Great answer Kirk!” A few minutes later, he followed up with this tweet: “As his father I would be disappointed if Kirk failed to show proper respect for authority and others, regardless of his own desires. He has chosen to do exactly what God would have him do. Well done Kirk! Proud of you!”

Among his concerns: “Textbooks are being rewritten,” “culture’s being cancelled,” “statues of people [are] being torn down,” “religion is being silenced,” “prayer’s been banned from schools,” and a “platform” is “unfolding” in pro sports. Don Cousins warned, “If you do not make every effort to hear the voice of God, you will be seduced to believe the messaging of the world.”

Who can forget last years nugget on Covid from Kirky

“I’m gonna go about my daily life,” Cousins explained. “If I get it, I’m gonna ride it out. I’m gonna let nature do its course. Survival-of-the-fittest kind of approach. And just say, if it knocks me out, it knocks me out. I’m going to be okay. You know, even if I die. If I die, I die. I kind of have peace about that.”

I was going to impart some of my thoughts here, but I just cant do it, I will come off as being something that offends someone. I will say I just dont agree with how this sect of society not only thinks but are imparting their will on the the rest of us with this anti vax stance. Some of what I learned from looking further into Kirks Dad honestly I found very troubling and gave me great perspective into what kind of leader the Vikings currently have at QB.

Cousins is just another in a long line of poor leaders for this franchise. From anti-vaxxers, to guys that beats their kids with sticks, to others that hire prostitutes on boats, it's long been a franchise where the inmates have been running the asylum. Another black eye.

Fortunately for Cousins and the franchise, another day brings another moron and people will quickly forget.

More on the meaningless Wonnum TC interception

https://twitter.com/Eric_L_Smith/status/1424068133451702272

One thing I like from this clip, Browning puts more effort tackling Wonnum in a no-tackling drill than Jeff George Cam Newton ever did in live action! (it doesn't excuse a pick six but ... you know what I mean?)

Also, in the clip underneath ... why is Cousins wearing #2 while he practices his fumbles?

I think right guard might be Udoh’s job to lose at this point. I think the Vikings want more athleticism and girth at the position. It’s down to the fundamentals now. But, we’ll see.

The only fundamentally sound technique Dozier has is getting thrown around like a rag doll.

Can't argue with this post.

Diggs wanted out for a reason.

Cousins is immovable at this point. Aside from football skill, any takers would be adding a guy that thinks the Coronavirus is a hoax. Public perception kills any deals before they even get started. At this point he is an anchor around the leg. There's only about 2-3 teams dumb enough to make that deal. The Texans are one that would seem in play.

I get what you're saying, but this phrasing is horrible with the racist/elitist resonance.

All depends on how deep you want to read into it. It wasn't my intent, which I think you are well aware of. Blame the idiom world.
