And thank you again to everyone for all of your support with following the show. Y'all continue to amaze me every single week. For real, THANK YOU.
Please do a CJ Mosley review. Not a Jets or Ravens fan just want to no if he's worth the money and how does he stack up against the other top middle linebackers. My Falcons paid Jones, Wagner got paid along with Kwon so how does CJ match against them?
I still want my Cleveland Video tho 😤😤😤
I've been saying this for a long time! Great video bro.
How was Case Keenum so excellent with the Vikings in 2017 and yet Kirk couldn’t propel the Vikings to the same level of success the following year?
@@anthonymendez1997 different offensive coordinator (Pat Shurmer) who was a lot better than the ones Kirk had to deal with last year
Way too often, quarterbacks are wrongly blamed for the fault of a team loss. It’s frustrating to hear analysts bring up “QB Wins” as a stat all the time.
Its only fair since they usaully end up with all the praise during a win
Omg I hate that too, especially in college, for UW-Madison our winningest QB of all time was Joel Stave, and he had the YIPS! Dude was terrible most of the time and was constantly carried by the team, his "Wins" are meaningless, because even without Stave would could've won games with our backfield anyway. So yeah your point stands in the reverse as well!
it's why I hated at the same time Aaron Rodgers getting blamed for so many losses last season, A-Rod had been carrying our team for YEARS! He was the reason McCarthy was hailed as a "Good Coach", our team got worse and worse but so long as A-Rod was our QB we still won, that's not a good sign! It's a blatant weakness where if you knock our QB out, that's it our team folds. The last 2 years were blatant realizations that the Packers as a team were no longer good, and the coaching staff checked out. A-Rod threw just 2 INT's last season, 2! How does a QB lose 9 games throwing just 2 INT's!? How does a QB who has thrown 300 TD's before 100 INT's (first time ever), have a worse record through their first 158 starts than Brett Favre (a gunslinger with the most INT's of all time)? It makes no sense!
I totally agree, they are also very much wrongly always given credit for a win. That's what led to Dak being massively overrated his rookie year. It also annoyed me to hear everyone saying Baker mayfield should be OROTY because of the Brown's record. When they made a bunch of changes to the roster as well as with coaching.
Yes, you speak truth. It's too easy to just blame the QB who is making pretty good coin. I know a lot of guys who at the end of the season said the Vikings should have kept Case Keenum. But the QB position was not the main problem. There was poor protection for Cousins all year. Now we see the Vikings made O-line a top priority in the draft. If Cousins were the problem, why would the Vikings have signed him to such a big contract in the first place? They upgraded at QB with Cousins. I liked Keenum the season before that, but thought it made sense to get the best QB available in Cousins. Besides, Keenum was due to make some big money anyway, so it's not as though the Vikings would have saved considerably more keeping Keenum. Last I checked, it's still a team game. If a team has a mediocre season, it might just be that they have a mediocre team.
QB Wins and 'Ringz' are lazy stats to judge any team player with. ESPN level lazy.
A Brett video about my Vikings?!? It’s already a great day!
Edit: nvm I wanna cry
This made me snort my drink lmao
How I felt when he did ravens 😂
vikings lose a championship game and miss the playoffs the next year. Such is the cycle, as it will repeat every 9 years forever
but Kubiak tho
why cry? If Kurt is the problem then you are screwed but this video explained why there is a lot of hope for this season.
So basically. Cousins isn’t all to blame beside that Chicago & his TEAM let him down.
Especially the Oline.
Saints DT on a 3 man rush got a sack 😂 that clip is was SORRY.
Dude sacked Cousins while he was getting blocked
@@malgold88 "Blocked"
@@cameronbarenbrugge649 granted the O lineman was only technically blocking. That was pitiful. Most of the blocks in the video were
I looked at that and said "this should NEVER happen". Unless Aaron Donald is the DT, I guess. But seriously, that was a pathetic effort by the center. I get it that holding off a 300lb guy is probably hard but that's like... your job.
And it's been this way for years. Same reason Vikes fans were always so quick to defend Teddy in his time here.
So Kirk Cousins is stuck in a real life adaptation of " A series of unfortunate events", the football version.
Right 😂😂😂
those books are the best
College Football For Life Agreed
he is not to blame for never winning a playoff game or getting more than 9 wins in a season, it just everyone elses fault that he's gone 8-8 for the past 9 frickn years
Yep. Or put another way: he's stuck on the Minnesota Vikings.
As a Vikings fan, this video was super therapeutic. I watched every game last year and in this one video you put into words all the frustrating emotions I endured through in 2018. Thank you so much! Great vid as always.
Me too. I knew 95% of the issues we experienced weren't cousins fault
God I hope things go better this year, it’s hard to imagine it won’t if the offensive line decides it is capable of blocking anything better than a high school team. I said it to myself all last year that if we could just get Cousins more than a second to throw and a coordinator willing to run the ball a little bit, we could be really, really good. I can’t wait to see how this season goes and hopefully be proven right. SKOL Vikings!
Same here bro I was blaming Kirk all year and I get it I played football in high school but it was safety so I never played Qb so I get it
I forgot all the times I yelled "run the damn ball" during that Seahawks game (or the entire season). God one of the most frustrating seasons I remember, I don't think any of the Ponder seasons were as frustrating (aside from Frazier's weakass Cover-2 defense)
This x1000000000
Knowing how hard brett works i have to leave a like before i even watch the vid.
Give this man the support he deserves
Damn that mistake by Diggs at 6:47, must have hurt for Cousins seeing the guy stop midway through his route
Péter Lévay idk why diggs would do that it literally makes no sense
I think he must’ve thought Kirk was gonna get sacked like usual so he just stopped . There really isn’t any other reason to stop.-
He stops there all the time. The difference on this play is that Kirk threw the ball without seeing his receiver.
re lax ok even if so it’s man coverage every receiver knows to keep running in that situation they teach you that in high school
@@winstonlewis5630 Diggs is one of the best in the game and knows way more what he should be doing than this Brett guy. No QB should ever make that pass. Ever.
Tl;dr The Vikings were really, really missing Pat Shurmur.
I did the minute I hear he was going to get a new job
Yes, and Tony Sparano. Really anyone with any type of experience coordinating a run game... or you know... any idea how to coach an o-line, not a tight end coach filling in.
@@sarihoffman-dachelet4491 I read that as Tony Soprano. I was confused.
Basically ya
That's good for them because he's stinking it up in New York
Videos like this show why football is the ultimate team sport and every player is vital to winning, not just the QB.
Yep, and also why wins and ring arguments shouldn’t be used to put one player over another. There’s so much that goes into winning/losing that you can’t pin it on one person consistently. It would be different if this was golf or tennis, but this is football. You have 22 positions on the field, with over 50 people on a roster filling those positions. If your corner has a bad day, the guy he’s guarding is going for 100+ yards easily. If your line is struggling, you’re getting sacked 4-5 times or giving up 4.5+ yards a carry. If your team is making a lot of mental mistakes, you’re giving the other team 80+ yards worth of penalties. There’s a reason only one QB in NFL history has 5+ SBs, and even then it’s taken him almost 20 years to do it. That’s with good/great defense. That’s with great coaching. That’s with great front office management in drafts and development.
@@clark2501 Exactly.
No, Tom Brady is the greatest!
Skip Bayless should watch this vid before trashing Kirk again
Skip only hates Kirk because Kirk was a division rival against his precious cowboys.
*max kellerman and SAS especially
Tbh Skip Bayless should watch anything about football before opening his mouth. Acts like he can just say a player is bad just because his team let him down
Skip Bayless is a dipshit, a complete moronic asshole who doesn't know shit.
He is the worst analyst on TV.
Skip can live under a rock with Cowherd
From the bottom of every Vikings’ fans heart:
THANK YOU!!!!
Jesus Christ, the criticism was so misguided. This video was right on the money and STILL neglected to mention the passing of OL coach and run game coordinator Tony Sparano, Everson Griffen’s mental health, the crappy kicking game even with one of the league’s historic best kickers, and the injuries on defense. Like how much adversity can a team possibly go through?
I expect great things in 2019, and I hope everyone keeps sleeping on us, because we were one game from the Super Bowl with Case Keenum in 2017.
I'm just wondering why you expect great things? Is their something that points to improvement or are you just being optimistic/hopeful?
Our defense was top 3 last year despite how awful our offense was and the fact they had to carry the team almost every game. OL will be improved (nothing is as bad as Remmers and Compton). Our first four picks were all offense and all have promise. Scheme won’t be so terrible. With some semblance of a running game we are set to explode. We were still a half game from the playoffs despite everything that went so wrong last year.
@@justifiedego9779 Kubiak is working for us now in addition to everything that was just mentioned. I'm cautiously optimistic.
Thrggee .d That’s a great way to put it, cautiously optimistic.
TheEsotericism1 Tony Sparano died just before the start of the season as well. He was the reason the Vikings made it so far in 2017 because he made an awful o-line look passable. As for the defensive injuries. Mike Hughes (the Vikings # 1 pick last year) missed most of the season with a bad injury. Xavier Rhodes was banged up all year and when he did play, he didnt look the same. With Griffin, I still dont know what happened with him. Ive never seen this before in Active players. I hate to say it, but I think he might have early onset CTE. This is just a theory. But he just didnt look good when he came back last year. And in fact, hasnt looked the same since he got hurt in 2017. With regards to the kicking game, I hate that they released Carlson. Yeah he had a bad game. He missed 3 kicks against GB, any of which would have won the game. They were WAY to reactive to that though. He gets cut, only to be pivked up and turn into a great kicker for Oakland. When they picked up Bailey, he was playing through a groin injury, so he didnt look the same either. The lack of using the run game was mind numbingly frustrating for all Vikings fans. I know its 2019, and its a pass happy league. But you have a great RB. One that looks like a young Jamaal Charles. Use him! When they beat the Dolphins and Cook went off, i had some optimism they would start using him more, but nope!
I was as the Packers Vikings week 2 game and while the roughing call was ridiculous, Cousins was clutch that final drive and got the Vikes in positions to win until things happened that were out of his control. It summed up the whole season
Ya that call was dumb, and you are right about that game. Cousins can ball, he just has some of the worse luck
100% agree, this is year 2 now so there will definitely be some improvement.
Ppl bring up the roughing the passer call but never bring up the identical call on Rodgers from Kendrick’s. If they called that one might as well call the identical hit that just happened to be at a more critical moment.
@@rhyswallace2822 I forgot about that
@@rhyswallace2822 That one was a year earlier though, rules change alot.
This man needs a job at the NFL Network
He used to work for a football network but quit to do RUclips full time and has been blessing us with videos like this ever since
Yeah he did work for NFL Network for a while but left to do this with more creative freedom.
@Skoldier 19 Vikings broo... What? Lol stop!
@Skoldier 19 Vikings wtf you are not a vikings fan
This is hard to watch as a Vikings fan, but I’m glad see Kirk cousins getting his credit
I felt it was kinda therapeutic, especially knowing most of the issue was the coaching (the o-line personal isn't made for the type of pass pro they were asked to do)
Lorax it’s refreshing to see someone actually break it down so people can understand what is actually happening
@@selchertb2 I feel the same way. I just assume that people who put all the blame on Kirk aren't bothered to look at the whole picture.
@@riteu Kirk has no excuses this year he got his o line and still he threw two picks and fumbled the ball against the Packers
Still think this after the green bay game yesterday He stunk up the place look at his dismal record when he is within the ten yard line and how worthless he is in important games The interception was not the worthless qback
Networks give you talking points, Brett gives you truths. Keep up the good work!
Media people who defend DeFilippo are people who didn’t actually watch the Vikings last year
Ben W facts DeFilippo was trash
@@everydaffodil5344 So good that we left him in Seattle to freeze to death when we barely put up any points against green Skittles
Worst loss of the Vikings season was Buffalo... Hands down.
Hopefully Kubiak helps fix all these play calling issues.
thats when i knew we couldnt bullshit our way to the playoffs like the year before we had shurmur and a somewhat cohesive line smh we had fucking tom compton as LG and fucking remmers (who's original position is tackle) and an injured year 2 player at center neither was going to block anything leaving riley to defend on an island hopefully bradburry can clean it up a little and kline(please be average) can help the rookie and the young RT we need to draft another tackle this year idc we need to slowly replace Riley
Vikings always seem to drop that kind of L every year. They were trailing the winless Browns at halftime in 2017 too, but unlike Flip in 2018, Shurmur in 2017 made halftime changes that resulted in an easy W in the second half.
@@biglicker4473 Riley is due a pay increase next season, but he also becomes cut eligible. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Some people say he fits better into a zone scheme so his play could look a lot better compared to last season.
Ahhh yeah just turned down the date with Miss America for this.
THANK YOU for pointing out how bullshit that Wagner blocked FG was. Everyone just acts like it was such a great play on the Seahawk's part.
starshooter7324 my blood was BOILING
I hate how no one talked about it either. That easily would have changed the game. Didn’t feel like anyone was talking about it the next day.
As a Jaguars fan watching this has me terrfified that we hired Defilippo as our OC
Wow I didn’t even know, sorry for your loss
Wayne Flohr end of my beliefs of me thinking you would bounce back, Buffalo taking your playoff spot
I like the jags but y’all really messed up
The good thing is if you guys survive and stay into playoff contention until December then you’ll be fine, Nick Foles in December and the playoffs is god like and since defilippo hates running the ball and will most likely keep throwing it, it won’t be a problem for nick past December
It'll be interesting to see if DeFillipo is the problem. I never liked his play calling but Jags O-Line is better than the Vikings so it might not be so bad?
Wow Brett you would be a great defense lawyer! I’m a Cousin hater and now I wish him the best for 2019 lol 😆
Brett always has the best content. Rewatching your stuff to get hype for the season. Keep it up bro!
Remember when Kirk Cousins lost 3 game winning field goals in 1 game? Totally his fault.
Before I watch I'm going to guess it's the oline or the lack of rushing attempts that is the problem
OL and playcalling, so yeah
Yeah. This is pretty much what most Vikings fans thought was the problem.
matt4787 yep every Viking fan I know always says this every non-Viking or casual always blames cousins
Trevor Kinney I h met watched yet, was the play calling bad with stefanski or just when Defelippo was still the offensive coordinator
Yeah just when we say it we don't back it up with film analysis
Welcome to the Salty Spittoon, how tough are ya?
I've been a Vikings fan for years
Here's the keys kid, lock up when you're done
Hahaha I’m a lifelong Vikings fan and I felt this with every ounce of being in my body
Could you do a video about if Tony Romo is a Hall of Famer or not, or if he was a good quarterback or not? I'm personally not sure if he's a Hall of Famer or not, so if you made a video on that, it would really help.
kewlman2006roblox I’ll make it easy, he’s not HOF. Not a chance.
No Super Bowl appearances, minimal playoff wins, zero MVP’s.
At least ya got Aikman tho
@@PK-vt6ed So...Rip Waren Moon?
@@PK-vt6ed Waren Moon had all of those things and yet was still an exceptional QB
Tony carried his garbage ass Browns Level team to become a pretty decent force to go against. A team that was middle of the pack which without Romo we would probably go 2-14 and 3-13 alot pretty much every single year. He was an exceptional QB and was way more clutch than ignorant fans think. His stats are awesome and if he was in another team he'd probably win a few super bowls. He was a monster and sacrificed his body alot hence why he became injury prone later in his career when his age wouldn't allow it. He's not a first ballot but he's definitely a HOFer to me maybe he'll get in 2030
kewlman2006roblox imo he’s a hof, but it’s gonna be a long ass time before he gets in due to lack of postseason success
@@SniperGamingHD1
Well said. Romo is underappreciated.
He really dropped a video with Bluetooth headphones as his sponsor the same day my powerbeats finally bite the dust. It’s a sign
Just watched and I 100% agree I always believed in Cousins
I'm from Washington and they were crying in their beer when Snyder traded him. Alex Smith gone and may never be back; McCoy hurt and out for the season. Picked up a QB who had been watching games on his TV. I really like Cousins and you never hear him say negative things about anyone. He certainly has every right to, especially after the way the Redskins discarded him the way they did. Thanks for the video. Too bad your not a regular on the NFL channels. Go Kirk!!!!!
You just earned a happy Vikings subscriber
Haha, same
Well it may have not have been his fault last year but it deff is this year
I learn something new in every video so thank you for that. I literally had no idea jump calls were a thing. That is so cool and I can't wait to watch for them in real time this upcoming season. As for the closing monologue, that truth is applicable to many other things outside of football which I think is a reason people enjoy football so much. It is simultaneously both an escape from the struggle of reality and a metaphor for it.
This aged well
With as much film as you watched on the 2018 Minnesota Vikings, you can see why nearly halfway into the season Cousins began to get PTSD and feel phantom pressure. Can you blame the guy?? lol
Oh and btw, gotta remember that Stefanski was calling plays from DeFilippo's playbook. Still doesn't excuse the bad pass play calls though against the Bears in Week 17, just figured it would be worth mentioning.
Football is the most nuanced sport there is.
The ultimate team sport, for sure.
If you don't count the cheese roll
This guys stuff is by far the best thing football breakdown stuff i've seen going on youtube.
Wow, I knew that deep down but seeing it all together and plays slowed down so u can see all those missed blocks and tackles, it's so true!
About time! I was waiting for you to cover this subject.
Personally as a Vikings fan I think that the o line is the main problem. However cousins has possibly the best skill position core in the league and he consistently doesn’t make plays.
Lol... You are so wrong. It's funny getting to look at comments immortalised like this from 3 weeks ago and now Kirk is literally carrying this team on his back again. Kirk has the 2nd highest career completion accuracy of all time and right now in the league, 2nd highest adjusted QB accuracy in the NFL. Riggs has been awful for most of this year so far and Cousins makes him look good.
Redskins fan, and I was a big Kirk supporter. I was definitely bitter when he left, but when he was a redskin he wasn’t the problem. I’m glad we’ve moved on but I think he can be successful
Hell, yeah! A new video! Thanks for putting this one out for us Brett!
Cousins is the blame for this game against the Packers smh. This is the most likes I've had btw thx
Facts
And he's now the reason for losing against Chicago. This video need to be flagged for misinformation.
I 100%Agree we need to use our first round draft pick on a QB this year and send Kirk out the door he has everything great recivers we fixed the O line and Calvin Cook is one of the best backs in the league he just cant make good decisions under pressure
And now for 3 consecutive weeks, hes played at an elite level. This comment and the replies are way too dramatic smh
@@blanchovies9066 this was before he was doing good he was costing us easy wins
Wait... How did I miss that Kubiak is with the Vikings?! Um... This is gonna be a huge game changer for them. Kubiak the, sky-box sniper is going to come up with some seriously solid adjustments throughout games.
Kubes has done a lot with less, Schaub looked for a minute like a passable QB, Franken-feet and all. The Vikes will need a running game and that is where Kubiak shines.
His zone blocking scheme allows for undersized guys on the line and when Kubiak QBs roll out, half the time you see wide open receivers.
My best friend in the Navy loved the Vikes… , so for his sake I hope the Vikings finally get that Superbowl win.
Coming back to this video in 2019 🧐
*insert John Cena* "ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT"
I have been waiting for this vid, thanks! 🙏🏻
I love taking a 5 hour nap after surgery and waking up to a 25 minute Brett Kollmann vid
Love that you played "Good Things Fall Apart" by Jon Bellion in the background at the end! You have good taste, sir.
Fantastic again. The derail, thought and analysis is truly appreciated. I learn so much from watching your videos. Thank you
You forgot the block in the back vs the rams that they picked up after like a 40 yard gain by gurley
Thank you for this Brett. I've hard plenty of friends who are Vikings fans claiming buyer's remorse. It upset me because I knew Cousins did a great job with what he had, it was just that he wasn't given a whole lot to begin with. Thanks for giving me evidence of that!
Finally Thank You for your input on this discussion!!!! Been hoping you'd cover this topic for a awhile!
The vid i been waiting for! Thanks film room !
You and Zac Shomler from Strong opinion sports should co-host a podcast!
YES
This is also the story of Tony Romo, except the Cowboys still have Jason Garrett running things because some fools never learn.
Thank you so much for this video. I don't know how many times I had to try and explain to people that Cousins was NOT the problem last season. Everyone seemed to want to pick on him. Now I'll just refer people to this video making the conversations much easier. Skol!
Great video, really appreciate the thorough coverage!
Maybe not “the” problem, but certainly “a” problem. Just give it to Dalvin D: yeah, yeah, I know it’s the o-line that’s garbage
please do a video on davante adams, i feel he is criminally underrated
Not anymore, he used to be tho. I see a lot of people giving him respect now
colin People underrate him because he has Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback
Another awesome breakdown. Thank you for always having the big picture look!
I know you will most likely not read this Brett, but things like your explanation of the jump call in cover 4 is why I love this channel. I played football in Germany as a SS before concussions made me quit. We had a very simple playbook, mostly playing cover 3 or cover 1. Seeing how NFL defenses communicate and prepare in other coverages is really exciting and I learned something new today, that I can notice now when watching games next season. Keep up the great work !!
Thanks for such a great vid. Has a Vikings fan I could tell along it wasn’t all on Cousins fault.
M’eh. The same excuses could be used for any quarterback who failed to succeed in the NFL. I wished they’d have kept Keenum and Bridgewater - let them duke it out, and used the extra change on shoring up that Oline and/or defense.
Keenum ended up getting $18M/year from the Broncos and has proven repeatedly over his career that his 2017 season was a fluke. Bridgewater was hurt bad and got some $$ too. Combine what they made last year and it's only about $3M-$4M less than what Cousins made. That's hardly enough change to make a difference, especially since your QB play wouldn't even be as good as it was.
Real great stuff. Been preaching this all year - and for you to put it all down in a vid is just fantastic!
Hey Brett, Thanks so much for making this video. You, I think do some of the best work when it comes to talking about technicalities of football while also telling a story. I am from Minnesota, now living in SoCal and it's always great to watch the videos about Vikings especially but I watch all of your vids cuz they are entertaining and I learn about different teams and players and technical of football. Seriously, great job. I knew the issues were more about the Offense as a whole in general especially the play calling and Oline but thanks for giving a bit more specifics.
where do you get this film with all these angles? Great job on the vids.
Nfl gamepass. There you get the the coaches view and Every other view
@@Buladan05thank you
can you do a video analyzing how Quentin Nelson turned the colts offensive line from garbage to top contenders?
conk he already has
Love these videos of you looking into a narrative and showing what's correct and wrong with it. You're honest with the criticisms but put in an amazing amount of work showing how things are always so cut and dry.
Can’t wait for your predictions video!
Seems he should have audibled into runs a bunch of times. Wouldnt have solved everything but would have been a big improvement.
Thanks Brett! If we kept case keenum instead we would've won maybe 4 games.
Keenum is mobile. That helps cover a bad o-line
Frank Laudicina True, but it wasn’t just the O-line, Keenum benefited from a running game that ranked 7th, in 2018 it dropped all the way down to 30th
Keenum isnt a loser as well, players dont wanna play for a guy who cant win (the numbers prove it) and makes more money in one year than they ever will.
nat X
1. Did you watch the video at all?
2. Did you watch Broncos games at all in 2018?
Keenum didn't handle pressure well in 2018. Pat Shurmer helped him in multiple ways in 2017.
Best video I've seen in a while thanks for standing up for our QB I'm a Cousins fan good to know there are more Cousins fans

my goodness brett, you do an amazing job. thank you for amazing football videos.
Brett, I truly love your analysis. I subscribed and I will be sharing your videos with my friends and coaches. Thank you, sir!
Maybe don't take the biggest deal in the league if you want to be able to pay linemen?
Kirk Cousins can't beat teams over .500, but I don't think the 3 quarterbacks they had in 2017 would have done better with that O-Line. Especially someone like Kirk Cousins who isn't a very mobile quarterback, but if you're gonna throw that much money at him, you should make sure he has a good offensive line.
problem is alot of the issues we had last year that we blamed kirk for that was out of his control was something that was almost always the case back in his redskins days. had he had a proper team his so called cant beat teams above .500 ... might not even be a thing.
Damn i love your videos as a football player you teach me alot and i use techniques you talk about all the time and you have made me a better player thanks for the helps and the amazing videos
Thank you so much! I’ve been waiting for this video. Glad you finally got around to it. Keep up the good content, and also please do a Stefon Diggs Film room episode.
Great video. I've never had KC in my division. But I find it odd when the people who are more concerned with "fantasy" football than real football judge him so harshly.
He's well above average as an NFL starter. He's intelligent. He works hard. But he's been surrounded by big failures at key positions everywhere he has gone.
Matt Ryan essentially had a statistically equivalent season to his MVP season last year despite a defense that lost 2 pro bowlers in week 1 and both safeties and a Pro Bowl running back by week 3. Plus he lost his offensive line and was sacked a whopping 42 times while maintaining his stunning stats. And he drops to #94 in the NFL top 100. You know how many teams would die to have the consistency, and accuracy of Matt Ryan on their team?
And look at Philip Rivers. While he's getting older, his falloff is much less than Drew Brees' falloff but he gets no media attention despite being a top 10 QB every year of his career.
The problem is the sports media is centered in NYC with some presence in LA. Channels like ESPN are bleeding viewers because you can get sport scores, stats, and highlights on your phone and don't need them. So the result is we have a sports media that is all about drama to create interest. And a really media bias toward divisions like the NFC East.
I'd probably rank Cousins in the top third of QBs in the NFL with Rivers & especially Ryan ranked higher. But these guys just don't get the respect they deserve. And watch this year as the Drew Brees nose dive accelerates. How long until people will stop ranking him as a top 3 QB? And look at Aaron Rodgers who has bombed the last 3 years yet he is almost always ranked in the top 2 despite him being a .500 QB for the past 3 seasons. Aaron doesn't get blamed when the Packers lose 50% of their games for a multi-year stretch. But people blame Cousins. Interesting.
I'm not gonna lie, if Brett made I podcast I would tune in faithfully
Christian Wise yoooo that needs to happen.
Only 7:10 already a fantastic video. Great job, thank you for the detail on the line play on Reily. A+ stuff
Thank you for putting this together. I'm a Dallas fan who believe it or not defended Cousins when he was in a Washington a sworn rival! The majority said he was overrated and overpaid, my response was well how many consistently put up 4,000+ and 25tds?!? Let alone with a revolving offense and coaches? Hopefully the Oline in Minnesota is improved, Cook stays healthy, they should be contending for NFC title, not just their division. Peace
Did I just hear a Cousins apologist? :)
This aged terribly
Kirk Cousins is Trash #4-26 against winnig teams change your name to 5-27😂
KIRK COUSINS SINCE 2017 : 28 FUMBLES
TOM BRADY SINCE 2000 : 28 FUMBLES
Thank you from a Vikings fan for you to point this out to the football fans who haven’t looked into this
Brett I love your videos, they are extremely helpful and entertaining.
Basically Aaron Rodgers goes thru that also. And defense doesn’t help either
Well this video aged well
Great analysis. Love the explanation of cover 4 and how the bears adjusted on it. I love football and have watched it all my life but never really understood the schemes like that.
Like how you showed how the Vikings were trying to fix their issues too.
You changed my mind about Kirk.
The song selection @22:15 is soooooo good Brett. Well done.
It’s about time you replace skip. 👌🏻
Literally he's only getting the blame because of the money he is making.
He won a playoff game. On the road. Against the 2 seed saints. In prime time. And the Vikings were considered dead men walking into the wild card.
Love ur bids learning more with every one
This didn't age well.
@devin. This didn’t age well
Kirk Cousins: "You like that?"
Vikings fans: "No... not really."
Seahawks fans: LOL
The other 30 fanbases: LOL
Great video. Im really hoping the new Kubiak-Stefanski offense will really help him (and our o-line). I also like our first four draft picks a lot. Can see Kubiaks influence all over that draft. SKÖL😈
