REPORT: Minnesota Vikings QB Kirk Cousins Makes NFL MVP Case for Another Quarterback
It has been a rough year for Minnesota Vikings QB Kirk Cousins. He tore his Achilles and has been out dealing with this injury ever since. However, Cousins is still paying attention to what is happening around the NFL. He even made an NFL MVP case for one particular player.
Kirk Cousins Thinks Brock Purdy Should Be NFL MVP
In an interview with Adam Schefter of ESPN, Cousins made a case for San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy to be NFL MVP. Cousins was notably impressed with how fast Purdy was developing as an NFL quarterback. This is what he had to say:
“I think Brock (Purdy) has a great chance of winning league MVP. I think he is running the system at a very high level. What he did in his first year and second year is incredible, especially on so few reps. I think he’s only going to get better.” -Kirk Cousins
The Case for Brock Purdy
Purdy certainly strengthened his NFL MVP case after Week 15. Now, Purdy leads the NFL in touchdown passes (29) and is second in the NFL in passing yards (3,795). It helps that he had 242 passing yards and four touchdown passes in a Week 15 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
On top of this, some of his direct competitors took big hits in Week 15. Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott and Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts were both in the NFL MVP discussion as well. However, both of them had bad losses and poor performances in their Week 15 games.
