He Will Be A Fringe MVP Candidate
Secondly, and finally, the numbers that Kirk Cousins will put up this season will force his name into the MVP conversation. He isn’t going to win the award over names like Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson, but he will be in the conversation.
Cousins forcing his way into the MVP discussion is a massive step. He has never been viewed as an MVP candidate throughout his career.
With that kind of force driving the offense, the Vikings are going to want to pay him big money to lock him up. Cousins will earn a long-term future in Minnesota with his 2020 season.
As for how far he can take the Vikings, only time will tell. He could very well lead an improbably Super Bowl run. However, that will take a lot more than just Cousins dominating.
