Well, this was mildly entertaining, if not unsolicited. 

"It seems like only yesterday the Carolina Panthers were reportedly 'laughing off' any potential interest in Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins.

"Now, they’re heading into the 2022 season with fellow castoffs, Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield... “

"Is it funny now?"

"The rehabilitation project for Darnold, who saw more ghosts than Haley Joel Osment with the New York Jets, hasn’t gone according to plan. The Panthers still only won five games for a third straight season, and Darnold was still seeing Casper.

 

"Meanwhile, Mayfield is coming from a roster with an embarrassment of riches on the offensive side of the ball—reliable offensive line, two Pro Bowl running backs, a stud tight end and a receiving tandem with eight combined Pro Bowls between them.

"What more does one man need to be successful in the NFL?"

"Cousins is obviously a cut above both Darnold and Mayfield, and he gets lambasted daily, even following a season where he threw for 4,221 yards, 33 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. The Vikings’ “problem” would be another team’s treasure."

Well...maybe the grass isn't greener up there in Minny either. I certainly don't think a Vikings fan has a right to be clowning (notwithstanding that terrible pass by Darnold right to their guy).

Cousins is a very very good QB. He is also a QB who will never get his team deep in the playoffs or win a Super Bowl. I believe you have to have a certain personality that can help you connect with offense and defense as well as alpha energy in the huddle to make your entire team better. That’s what gets teams deep in the playoffs and helps them win Super Bowls. Cousins is not the guy who brings the Tom Brady energy to his team which is why he will always be a QB who has great stats, but nothing when it matters most. With all that being said he is clearly a much better QB talent wise than anything we have currently.

They really don’t get it…. Can we get Cousins for a future 5th and only $5 million for one year? If so then we would be all over it. These teams with average (Cousins) and below average (Winston) are just pissed because we got a QB arguably on par (maybe not as good as Cousins but probably better than Winston) for a fraction of what they are paying. Glad too see other teams are thinking about us though.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
