Which QB?

[Wolvesfan21]

There's really nothing to say at this point, other than someone fucked up.

It is literally painful to watch this team right now. They're so so so good and yet so far from that meaning anything at all

I actually fell asleep during the game, it was that boring on offense. Defense still did their thing, especially considering the turnovers which I didn't see all of them. I fell asleep in the early 3rd so I think I missed a lot of the crap.

That might be the worst performance I've ever witnessed from a non-rookie NFL QB.

Nothing will beat the Josh Freeman game, but this one was more depressing

That was up there with Freeman and Freeman at least had the excuse of having little time in the system etc. Wentz has been in the system and even played a few weeks ago. The QB situation is so unbelievably bad it feel like right now nobody can be even decent which is a low bar and if someone could even accomplish that it would be a pretty massive improvement. Meanwhile the defense is just insane they almost won this game almost by themselves.

I didn't see the entire disaster, but stat wise it was even worse! Yes Wentz is very up and down, but who saw this coming.

You're right, no one can complete a pass hardly anymore. Why is that? Just a bad stretch for a year and a half? Sure one good Kyler game, Wentz probably had one, JJM maybe two. But really since Darnold stunk in Detroit a year and a half ago plus we've been terrible overall on offense.

Defense carrying the load. It's so annoying too, to have that good of a defense yet no offense to speak of. I knew that 6-0 stretch was not sustainable, we had to play offense at some point.

I never thought I would welcome Kirk Cousins back, but I am delighted to welcome him now. He's playing well, and his familiarity with the system should get him on the field quickly. Maybe even next Sunday?!?

I’ve always liked him, so I’m delighted with this move. They clearly decided this defense was too good to waste on bad QBing. I think there’s no question he starts in GB Sunday. The only question is who is QB2…I suspect Murray if he’s healthy.

[Q-is-here]

Yeah, they had to do something.

How good is the Vikings defense? Dan Cole on KFAN is a clown, but he had a segment yesterday where he compared statistically the defenses of the current Vikings and the 1985 Bears through 8 games. The stats were close, but the Vikings were slightly better...there's no question this is one of the most outstanding defenses in NFL history. So the Vikings' brass knew it would be a tragedy to waste the season with terrible QBing. Kyler Murray ranks 27th out of 32 QB's in QBR (and Wentz obviously would have been dead last if he qualified)...in contrast Cousins currently ranks 12th, ahead of acknowledged star QBs like Mahomes, Goff, Stafford, Penix, Darnold, Hurts and Nix. He's 38 and not very mobile, but he will find the open receiver and rejuvenate Jets. And just the threat of a passing game will ignite our running game. He's not going to be all-pro, but he is a huge upgrade over what we have seen...and he has the advantage of playing with the best defense in the league. I don't know if we will beat the surging Packers on Sunday, but Kirk at least gives us a much better chance.

A 3rd for Cousins seems reasonable for both sides. The Raiders didn't have to give him up and the Vikings needed him and let's be honest of the reasonably available options Cousins is likely the best one. He knows the system already played with all the biggest impact receivers. The locker room will get a boost as well.

After the last 2 games it's hard to get too excited I'm just gonna try and take this game by game.

I hate to say this because I like Wentz and he isn't as bad of a QB as he showed Monday night but depending on how things go Wentz sucking that bad may have saved this team's season.

It's hard not to cheer for Cousins. I've always liked him. I recognized his flaws but the guy just kept doing his thing and that's only continued. I can't imagine how much better the defense couple play with just decent QB play and the offense being a little below average even.

Totally agree, monster...I've always liked Wentz also and know he isn't as bad as he played Monday, but we had to make a move. I just hope our line gives Cousins time Sunday, because he's not nearly as mobile as Kyler or even Wentz.

I don't know there is much difference in mobility between Cousins and Wentz. The difference will be Kirk is simply a better player at this point. Cousins is a smaller guy than Wentz but I'm not sure that matters much at this point. Wentz isn't the really good athlete he once was. He used to be more athletic than say Darnold but he isn't that guy anymore. Assuming Cousins is reasonably ready he is likely gonna let the ball go more than anyone we have seen so far other than I guess Max Brosmer in basically garbage time? Lol
