Sloter performed well. He's exciting to watch. Cousins is kethup, Mannion is salt, and Slotter is Tabasco sauce in how the crowd reacts.
If you look at what jelled 2 yrs ago - it was a bunch of underdogs with Keenum at the helm. They played their heart out. Not so with Cousins. Kind of reminds me of the movie The Replacements when the cocky SOB QB started the last game - the team was not behind him. VS like they were with the underdog QB.
I'd like to see Cousins retiring this week, put Sloter in as starting QB, trade 2 linemen (we are the deepest of any team in that position as we have the release at least 2 of them anyway) for their 3rd QB.
If we do not do a 11-5 season this Fall with Cousins as QB - then it was a BUST with him. Dump (trade) him.
If I was calling the shots 1.5 yrs ago, I'd have kept Keenum and Bridewater. just saying as I think Keenum deserved at least 1 full season as QB after his performance 20 mos ago and Bridgewater could step in if he had to.

I honestly think the Vikings will have a better season if Cousins goes down in week one through three than if he stays healthy.
The guy is a dud and fukcing loser. The problem with the NFL is too much....an infiltration of over-analytics.
You know what Cousins is?
He's the guy that can sit on a bench rest and outshoot everyone...thread the needle....be the most accurate guy there is, by a wide margin....just a fukcing tack driving son of a bitch...
....then he gets into the field and can't hit the broad side of a barn, because guess what?
Whether it's NFL games or deer hunting---this shit isn't played in a controlled environment.
Yet GM's like Spielman go Ga-Gah over the precision of a "prospect's" throws through a tire....exit velocity, accuracy, etc., all that shit is off the charts for KS....then that douche gets into a game and looks like a scaredy cat ****.
Keenum is a much better QB for this team. You give a guy like that a couple stud receivers that can make plays for him as he scrambles? That motherfukcer is going to make plays for them too.
Cousins?
Not so much.
He's a HOF quarterback on paper---unfortunately the game isn't played on paper....it's played on turf.
