The Vikings' QB conundrum, and the false choice of Kirk Cousins

The Vikings don't know who will play quarterback for them on Sunday in the finale of this season of multiple derailments, but they do know this: The options are increasingly bleak, and none of Jaren Hall, Nick Mullens or Joshua Dobbs look like a viable choice as a 2024 starter.

Minnesota's quarterback carousel - a difficult situation handled poorly by head coach Kevin O'Connell in recent weeks - has made it fashionable to pine for the injured free-agent-to-be Kirk Cousins, who was on a hot streak that had helped the Vikings even their record at 4-4 after an 0-3 start at the time he was lost for the season.

The affection perhaps reached a fever pitch Sunday, when a shirtless Cousins got the U.S. Bank fired up right before Hall quieted them down in a 33-10 loss to Green Bay.
