The discussion surrounding Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is more often than not exhausting. Both sides of the discussion don’t budge one bi and it’s inherently frustrating.
That discussion just got a little bit more frustrating as The 33rd Team’s Clay Harbor didn’t include Cousins in his list of top 10 quarterbacks in the NFC for 2023. Not the NFL, just the NFC.
The best 10 best NFC QB’s in the 2023 season will be:
1. Jalen Hurts
2. Justin Fields
3. Daniel Jones
4. Brock Purdy
5. Matthew Stafford
6. Jared Goff
7. Dak Prescott
8. Geno Smith
9. Kyler Murray
10. Jordan Love#DaBears #FlyEaglesFly #NFLTwitter pic.twitter.com/SJtjoUoeMY— Clay Harbor (@clayharbs82) April 6, 2023
This is a level of disrespect to Cousins that hasn’t been seen before. A Pro Bowl player last season, Cousins led the Vikings to 13 wins and an NFC North title. To put some of the quarterbacks in the top 10 ahead of him like Daniel Jones, Brock Purdy and Jordan Love ahead of him is just asinine.
You could make a real argument that Cousins is the second-best quarterback in the NFC next season, but likely slots in at either three or four. Even if the Vikings are looking at getting a quarterback of the future, not even including him in a top 10 is blatantly disrespectful.
