The biggest losers of the trade deadline? The Minnesota Vikings. “Oh, but they went out and got Kirk Cousins. Now they can win the North!” Win the North? At best, this team sneaks into the playoffs and goes home the first weekend. The quarterback position in Minnesota has been a revolving door. Your quarterback whisperer, Kevin O’Connell, had Kyler Murray on the bench after five games. You ran J.J. McCarthy out of town for a fifth-round pick, and now he’s on the first-place Giants. And after all that, your big solution is to give up a third to bring back Kirk Cousins? Kirk’s had a hell of a career. He’s won one playoff game, and that was in January 2020. Since then, he’s torn his Achilles, Minnesota let him walk and won 14 games with Sam Darnold, Atlanta benched him and moved on, and the Raiders just traded him to get out of paying his roster bonus. If Kirk is the guy who puts you over the top, why does everybody else keep moving on from him? And look around the division. I’m taking Dan Campbell and Jared Goff. I’m taking Matt LaFleur and Jordan Love. I’m taking Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. Give me all three over Kevin O’Connell and Kirk Cousins. That’s why Minnesota lost the deadline. They were so desperate to sell everybody on being a quarterback away that they paid a third-round pick to find out they’re still a borderline wild-card team.

Just overlook the best defense in the past 25 years, the best kicker in the game, really good special teams in general. Now with a capable QB... The Vikings are contenders.

True or False: If the #Vikings don’t make a deep playoff run this season, Kevin O’Connell should be fired.

So people are struggling to afford life, let's force them to pay more taxes (aka smaller paychecks).. Make that make sense

What should the Vikings give up in a potential trade for Kirk Cousins? 🤔 @BMac_SportsTalk & @PriscoCBS say a 4th round pick. #justfootball

If Cousins is Cousins, why wouldn't they be contenders for the NFC? Best defense in the past 25 years, best kicker, really good special teams in general. Jefferson and Addison involved will improve the running game, aka Mason. So again, why wouldn't they be contenders?

Kirk cousins may have to SIT OUT MULTIPLE WEEKS after trade due to antiquated NFL RULE

Wow, how did I miss this? How did I not hear that the Atlanta Falcons became the Minnesota Vikings? And since when can a team trade a player AFTER they've released said player?

Welcome back to the NFC North Kirk Cousins! I’m sure his 20-55 record against teams over .500 will go well for him in round two.

The Vikings traded a third round pick for a 38 year-old quarterback, but traded JJ McCarthy for a fifth to us lol 😂

This past week for him was so typical. Makes some really nice throws. Misses some easy ones, and probably the biggest issue, can't stay on the field.

Serious question, Vikings fans. Are we evaluating Kirk Cousins based on his six years in Minnesota, or based on what this current Vikings team actually needs? Because those are two very different conversations. I’m genuinely curious where everyone stands.

1. Let’s Cousins walk 2. Drafts McCarthy 3. Signs Darnold 4. Signs Daniel Jones 5. Lets Darnold walk 6. Lets Jones Walk 7. Signs Kyler Murray 8. Trades McCarthy @Vikings fans, Have you had enough? I know I sure have!

Darnold regressed all the way to a Super Bowl win. It’s revisionist history but it happened none the less. We look stupid trading for a guy that we had no intention of resigning. These don’t look like things successful franchises do. Just my opinion.

Seattle had a GREAT o-line and running game, which won that super bowl. What did we not have? A great o-line and running game. So even if the Vikings kept Darnold, they wouldn't have won the super bowl. And we didn't trade for Darnold, he was a free agent pick up.

Kevin O'Connell is one of the highest paid coaches in the NFL. What does he do well?

Why did we trade JJ McCarthney they’re was no reason to trade him for a 5 unless JJ agent’s told the Viking’s “brass” that KOC is no actually that smart which actually make’s you think about what may have happen #SKOL

For one, he couldn't stay on the field. And if you want to be the face of the franchise, you have to stay on the field.
