Daily Norseman on Kirk Cousins
From the article
Cousins has managed a top ten ranking (7th) across a composite of key quarterback metrics this season. That's leaps and bounds higher than anything the Vikings have had so far this season.
STACKED’s take
Cousins' 7th-ranked QB metrics suggest he'll elevate Vikings offense despite early ramp-up period.
Cousins has managed a 7th-ranked QB performance across composite key quarterback metrics this season despite a poor supporting cast in running game and defense; this is leaps and bounds higher than anything the Vikings have had so far this season. His performance this season has been pretty close to his season average across five and a half seasons with the Vikings previously, suggesting no age-related impediment to achieving similar results. The schemes in Las Vegas and Minnesota are similar (both from the Shanahan tree), and Cousins has already spent a year and a half in O'Connell's system with three and a half seasons of familiarity with Justin Jefferson, a half season with Jordan Addison, and a year and a half with T.J. Hockenson. The source expects him to make more throws than the Vikings have been seeing from Murray and Wentz this season, and while there may be hiccups early as he re-learns the offense, he should allow the Vikings to possess the ball and score more points than they have so far this season even with a limited playbook and on-field rapport rebuilding.
