As much as some try to dismiss the importance of quarterback wins, there is no ignoring the fact that they matter and ultimately QB’s are largely judged on their record. Great stats might make you a fantasy league darling, but it’s the victories that lead to a playoff berth and nobody is more important in today’s NFL than the guy passing the ball.
This brings us to one of the biggest lighting-rod players in the Vikings’ 62-year history — Kirk Cousins. Since the Vikings signed him to a fully guaranteed three-year, $84 million contract in March 2018, Cousins has gone 36-30-1 and led the franchise to one playoff berth.
