Colin Cowherd: “I make of the Colts what I make of the Vikings. Really good roster – Colts defense is great, Vikings offensive skill position players are loaded. Philip Rivers and Kirk Cousins can win road games, they can win TOUGH road games, they can win tough division RIVAL games, but can we have an adult conversation about both? Philip Rivers and Kirk Cousins can have big nights, but between Mike Zimmer’s play-calling, which is rigid at minimum, and Kirk Cousins’ inability to really move and be dynamic, we have to have an adult conversation. If the Colts don’t roll the dice at quarterback, and the Vikings don’t eventually move off Kirk Cousins they’re just going to be a tease, and NOBODY likes a tease. The Vikings, if they can shore up their defense a little bit in the next Draft, and Rick Spielman is an excellent GM, they’re ready to win a championship. The Vikings and the Colts are both ‘Quarterback Quicksand.’ This is what the Kansas City Chiefs were for years – really good, really well-run, really good roster, and good enough to win a division, and good enough to get to the playoffs, but do you want to be a Super Bowl champ? They’re too good to get a top 10 pick, and they have to roll the dice and go big or go home, or remain in quarterback quicksand.” (Full Video Above)
Listen to Colin Cowherd explain why he thinks the Colts and Vikings are similar to the Kansas City Chiefs in the mid-2010’s, as two loaded rosters who can win double-digit games a year, but are ultimately doomed by their ‘solid’, yet low ceiling quarterback who can't get you to a Super Bowl – Alex Smith, Philip Rivers, and Kirk Cousins.
Check out the video above as Colin details why he thinks both the Colts and Vikings could be Super Bowl teams, but why they need to get out of ‘quarterback quicksand’ after this season if they ever want to win big.
