Assuming Cousins wants to return to the Vikings (and the Wilfs are neutral on the matter) but Cousins in fact is not re-signed by the Vikings, who here believes Kwesi is not 100% responsible for that?

If you think Kwesi is the decision maker on that, what do you believe Kwesi's reason(s) are for not re-signing Cousins?

Most are over Kirk now until offseason and seeing what Hall/Dobbs do....some apparently aren't.
As can be seen it is tough for the Kirk Sans crowd.

People who do not know or bother to read, what and why I post in other threads, not related to Vikings football..

Do not understand one of my basic problems with people like our current IR quarterback..

Hypocrisy

Greed.

Coveting money.

Doing public deeds of charity and “ Christian values “ to be perceived as such an upstanding and righteous person..

He is not alone in my dislike…

He is however “ the chosen one, the Face” of the leadership on the Vikings..

The inconvenient truth is as follows:

New Living Translation
“When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get.



Cross References
Matthew 6:1
"Be careful not to perform your righteous acts before men to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

Then in no particular Order....

Poor decision making, sloth like route tree reading, lack of situational awareness, failing to own his failures, lack of mobility…

1-4

On and on..

Yea, I. Happy he is sidelined.

I hope he searches his hypocritical soul and asks himself …WWJD.

Fortunately, I do not suffer from that delusion..

Go Vikes.

Crush it, Hall!

Show the league, Dobson!

The new age begins on Sunday.

Oh and all you Christian’s remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy…

Yup.

I can't speak for everyone but I do not see posters 'trashing' Cousins' religious beliefs.

What I do see and participate in is, he wears his religion on his sleeve – people complain and make fun about that; he uses his sports celebrity stature like a bullhorn to espouse those beliefs – people complain and make fun about that.

Its the same with anything, to each their own live and let live ... unless you stick it in my face – then I'm going to respond. It's a God given right.

At least it wasn't around his sleeve.

Some of you act like all Cousins does is try and convert you - what a bunch of bs

You've got a prob with Cousins getting what he can get while everyone in the NFL does the exact same thing - except TB ... maybe

ORIGINAL: Tom Sykes

My expectation is our next few games - at the least - will be real ugly ...

lots of turnover ugly? lots of three and out ugly? quite possibly.

Certainly inefficient would be understood ... however, if Hall can do enough here and there to keep us in it ...

I'll walk away with that as a real positive this week.

Turns out Vikings first choice for a new backup QB was Brissett, but asking price was too high:

The other day ESPN discussed each of the (recently fired) Josh McDaniels (and the GM) big decisions during their Raiders tenure. Some of Kwesi's decisions echoed. Here is a copy of somebody's rundown of Kwesi's decisions:

Traded back from 12, all the way to 32, while only gaining 12 spots in the 2nd round and a 3rd. Passed on drafting stud S Kyle Hamilton and drafted what is looking like a bust Lewis Cine instead. Followed up that non premium position pick with a CB who dropped because he can't stay healthy and spent another 2nd on another non premium position, OG. 3 high picks, no starters (1 starter).

Paid an injury prone Davenport $13M, $10M fully guaranteed and he can't get on the field. This should have been an incentive laden prove it type deal. Instead Kwesi gave him the bag he had not earned and by the time he gets healthy, the Vikes season may be over.

Traded a 2nd rd pick for Hockenson and got stuck making him the highest paid TE in the game instead of standing pat and drafting a TE in one of the deepest TE classes in a long time. Meanwhile, 2nd rd rookie Sam LaPorta is looking like an absolute stud for Detroit.

Couldn't get JJ locked down, presumably because he spent too much money on guys like Davenport and Hockenson. Neither deserved the bag more than JJ.


Kwesi started out by dealing with a mess, but if he gets fired many of these things will be why.

Pretty well sums up Kwesi's shortcomings in player evaluation. You need a GM who gets good value, in the draft, free agency, or trades.

Each team is given the same key resources in draft picks and salary cap $. The winners are those that make the most of those resources.

wasn't kwesi looking for a way out of drafting addison, too - o'connell had to beg him to just pull the trigger....

kwesi is a vegas day trader that sees draft picks as chips on a felt table....
