Because he's unvaccinated he's now out for a minimum of 5 days.

Casual reminder this dude's opinion of getting covid is literally "If I die I die".

The NFL season is going to be a disaster and I'm here for it. Fantasy is gonna be fucking rough.

Cuck Cousins is anti-vax? I wasn't aware.

---

it's a horrible decision but if he wants to die from covid and end up as a statistic i'd say just let it happen.

I didn't want this fucking guy from the start. Sam Bradford or Case Keenum would have been much preferred in my books.

Bradford might be better for one-to-two games before he snapped in half and died. Keenum probably not even that.
Not saying Cousins is great, but those two were/are even further from it. Hell, even Bridgewater sucks.

Luckily for the Vikings, no games are being played, and meaningful ones are still a ways off. But with how ridiculously infectious Delta COVID is, we're going to see at least one running back or wide receiver starting at QB again or maybe even a TE!

A lot of these guys will inject pretty much whatever is handed to them to keep them in a game but they won't get this vaccine.

Not to mention that football is basically guaranteed brain damage (not necessarily debilitating, but EVERYONE has it to some degree)

Yeah but they know they'll have that brain damage! The vaccine might behave like no vaccine ever before and give them cancer in 20 years!

Imagine a topic about an anti vaxxer and the dumbest post isn't about someone not getting vaccinated. Or someone thinking 5 days in august means anything

But here we are.

Umm the season still doesn't even start for a while, right?

There are going to be weekly forfeits if anti-vaxxer idiots like those players don't get the entire country shut down before they can finish it.

Imagine thinking that the nfl will turn down money. The nfl that made the Broncos play with no qb but delayed so lamar Jackson could clear protocal.

But hey you think that the exact same policy they had last year, where they didnt add an extra week for make up games, is going to be different this year.

it is remarkable that sam bradford was able to fool so many people into thinking he's a decent QB. dude's the GOAT finesser in the nfl

Honestly if not getting vaccinated meant I could stay home and do nothing and make millions of dollars for it that's exactly what I'd do too.

They already said teams will have to forfeit if they can't reschedule.

Is Goodell building a time machine so they can squeeze in all the games? So many players with soup for brains that a team could chain positives together for weeks.

I swear anti vaxxors are going to get people killed because of their stubbornness.

Yeah the same one they used in 2020. When the vaccine wasnt until the season was nearly over and cases were double to quadruple what they are now.

The season don't start till Sept so it's fine gonna be funny when these idiots start costing there teams games tho

And like 7 NFL players have gotten vaccinated and this variant is stronger and more contagious. Wouldn't be surprised if these dumb fucks do something stupid in solidarity with their fellow dumb fucks.

Because we're in such a great spot now with Cousins. After the 2017 season we had with Case, he deserved to at least stay around in 2018 instead of wasting 34 million on Cousins.

The dude got us closer to the Super Bowl than anyone else has in decades. Even if he's kinda sucked on other teams now, he deserved another shot after that season.

Nothing of value, etc

https://zonecoverage.com/2021/minnesota-vikings-news/mike-zimmer-reveals-kirk-cousins-doesnt-believe-in-protocols/

But then Zimmer dropped an incredibly interesting nugget.

Barreiro asked:

Have you had any conversations directly just with Kirk On this thing?

To which a somewhat exasperated Zimmer replied:

Not really, I havent talked to him not about whether he should or shouldnt get vaccinated Ive talked to him about some of the protocols which he doesnt believe in

Zimmer went on to say his response to that is Kirk should be talking to the leagues and his own doctors, but doesnt believe in could be a big deal.

To this point Kirk Cousins has been completely reluctant to discuss his thoughts on the vaccines or his personal vaccine situation, but going into last week we dont need to ring up Sherlock Holmes to figure out Kirk was not interested. As we all heard last year: if he dies, he dies right?

Kellon Monds exposure confirmed Kirks unvaccinated status but what Zimmer said on radio goes much further into unwrapping Kirks thoughts on Covid. It doesnt just end at vaccine hesitancy, or frustration with the league, its that he doesnt believe in the protocols. Thats a hell of a situation to find yourself in as a head coach. Arguably the most important player on your team in arguably the most important year of your career (Vegas has high first-coach fired odds) is not only going to make things more difficult for you, but he doesnt believe in the protocols that the NFLs doctors have set forth.

Now Im sure regardless of that belief Kirk Cousins will do whats best for the team in terms of the protocols set forth by the league. It would be absurd to imagine that we have some sort of Cole Beasley situation on our hands. But if Kirks beliefs or behaviors in any way shape or form cost this team wins this year, the most divisive athlete in Minnesota history will take that title to a whole new level.

This just keeps getting better and better

I genuinely forget that Kirk Cousins and Case Keenam are different people.

The first tweet in the OP makes it sound like he's high risk and that's why he's not getting the vaccine, because he isn't sure how it would effect him; but the other tweets don't give off that impression.

I haven't been following it at all, so does he have a medical reason that he can't get it, or is he just being a dumbfuck?

Gotcha.

This guy is somehow making Bruce Allen and Dan Snyder retroactively look smart. I didn't think that was possible.
