Colin Cowherd: “I said Minnesota is going to be the shock of the league and my takeaway is they lost a ton of close games, Packers won’t be as good, and the Bears and Lions still have a ton of questions. More than anything, if you have a boss who believed in you, you would feel it and you would sense it, and it would affect performance... I think Kirk Cousins is a ‘B’ to ‘B+’ quarterback who has sometimes shrunk in big games and I think last year him and Zimmer got a little chilly and ugly, and it affected him more than usual. Here comes Kevin O’Connell, a former NFL quarterback, an offensive coach from the Sean McVay tree and I’m like ‘the division may be weaker, Cousins will feel supported, I love their skill pieces’… I think the Vikings will SHOCK the league this year.”
Greg Jennings: “I’m with you, and I don’t necessarily believe they’re going to be a ‘shock’ to a lot of teams. This was a good team that couldn’t win in close games. You make a great point about Kirk Cousins and the support of management, head coaches, and all the things, and it reminds me of a situation that played out in Philly with Carson Wentz, who ran away from that relationship, and wanted to feel support, and didn’t endure it. Kirk Cousins didn't endure it [support] and has always had this defensive coach when he was in this purple uniform, and he was never going to be the savior, but now you have a head coach who is on your side of the ball who is really dictating everything, and you’re in a more favorable position. For me, Kirk Cousins has always be a ‘B+’ quarterback who has always been underappreciated. This team is going to win the North. I’m not going to say that Green Bay is going to fold, but this team [Minnesota] is definitely going to be one of the most improved, if not the most improved team in the NFL.” (Full Segment Above)
