Too bad it did not end 4 or 5 years ago in Minnesota.

I definitely had a love/hate relationship with Kirko during his time in MN. I couldn’t stand him when he was QB in the Zimmer era. Zimmer made it very clear he didn’t want Kirk from day 1. I grew to like Kirk under KOC. For the first time in Kirk’s career, he finally started taking more aggressive chances with his throws. Once he blew out his achilles I didn’t want anything to do with him anymore.

I'm glad we moved on from him but I don't wish him ill.

I'm not dancing on his grave either. But at this point his career is probably over. If he can't trust his right foot again then he's toast.

I can’t believe they finally put Penix in

Same, but there is some joy in seeing that the Vikes are being rewarded for making the smarter, bolder call.  It's the easy move in the NFL to stick with a QB that isn't awful and can win a few games, then move on and take big swings at a true difference maker.

Tough spot for Kirk, (not that I'm crying) as I think finding a fit next year will be tough. Here are the teams I think for sure will need a QB next year:

NYJ, PIT, CLE, TEN, LVR, NYG

Would the Jets go from washed up Rodgers to washed up Cousins? I don't see it. The Steelers would surely rather just keep Russell Wilson. Similar to the Jets, I don't see the Browns going from broken Watson to broken Cousins and they don't seem inclined to just eat Watson's salary. But I'll put them down as a long shot possibility because they're dysfunctional.

I thought IND and CAR may be looking, but now why wouldn't they keep Richardson and Young? They may not be good, but they're better than Cousins, or at least have some upside.

NO, SEA, LAR

Could move on from their veteran QBs but their veteran QBs are probably all more desirable than Cousins. 

So that leaves TEN, LV and NYG and at this time, two of them are in line to draft Sanders and Ward. Is the one that ends the season with the best record stuck with Cousins? It's possible that team may still rather roll the dice with Justin Fields or Aaron Rodgers. Or even Daniel Jones if the perceived KOC transformation can boost his reputation in merely two months of his presence in Minnesota.

I assume in this kind of situation, he gets cut, gets a lot of money b/c of that, and then will sign as a backup somewhere. Unless he gets back into a few games and shows he's better, I don't think anyone sees him as a starter. But because of the lack of QB depth, I would guess he might be a highly prized backup QB.

I think I'd want him backing up a rookie/second year guy as a mentor. Seems like he has grown into that role, but you never know. Not in MN, since he was a starter here....

Colin cowherd opined yesterday that Indianapolis would be the ideal landing spot for Darnold
