I don't get all the Kirk Cousins hype either. I think he's a slightly better than average QB, and not worth nearly what the Vikes are going to pay him.
The crazy part is that Cousins' contract has all three years fully guaranteed, which is nearly unheard of in the NFL. What are the actual odds he is the Vikings' starting QB in 2020?
Cousins is a good systems QB but for what he will cost I don't think he will be a significant upgrade for the Vikes. If the Broncos install a system suitable for Keenum he should be fine. Bradford will get hurt in training camp and start 4 games and Bridgewater won't move the needle for the Jets. JMO
I think these are solid takes. It seems like the Broncos are maintaining more flexibility by signing Keenum for a couple years, and I'm assuming the second year isn't fully guaranteed in his case. That may be smart, because none of the QBs in this free agent class seem like franchise saviors.
