The Minnesota Vikings should ink veteran quarterback Joe Flacco as a backup.
The Minnesota Vikings could be just fine if their starting quarterback, Kirk Cousins, suffers some kind of elongated injury. This was the argument put out by The Viking Age’s Nik Edlund, based on the premise Minnesota has enough talent elsewhere, particularly the offense’s ground attack, to make up for any season-ending injury Cousins hopefully will never suffer.
If Cousins does go down, however, the backup situation for head coach Mike Zimmer is far from ideal.
