Troy Aikman praises Kirk Cousins during broadcast
During the third quarter of Monday night’s Minnesota Vikings game against the San Francisco 49ers, ESPN color commentator and Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman called Kirk Cousins a top 10 quarterback in the National Football League.
Where Cousins sits in the pantheon of quarterback rankings across the NFL is one of the more contentions subjects across the league. A player that continues to put up stats, Cousins hasn’t been able to have the type of success you would expect from a top 10 type quarterback.
It’s obvious that Cousins is a very good quarterback. He has a more than capable arm while also being very accurate and mostly risk-averse. Being risk averse is one of the points of contention among analysts because he has a tendency to check the ball down when routes are open down the field.
Regardless, Cousins getting praise from the national media is a really nice change of pace considering how the discussion narrative usually is.
