The debate surrounding Kirk Cousins is one that will be fueled for the entirety of not only his time here but also the rest of our existence on earth.
The opinions of the 11th-year signal caller vary from top-10 quarterback to being bad at football with some having an opinion of him based on his COVID-19 vaccination status.
Regardless of how you view him, he is inarguably one of the best quarterbacks in the world and deserving of a starting job in the NFL. Is he worth the money because of the salary cap? That is a question with a complex answer.
As it currently sits, projections for the 2022 season are coming out hot and heavy. PFF just dropped their projections for passing yards for next year and Cousins finishes in the top 10.

Ranking ninth on this list isn’t a slight to Cousins, it’s likely about where he ends up with the addition of Kevin O’Connell. If he ends up higher on this list, the Vikings might be in for a great season.
