Another biased post regarding the Vikings from you guap. Cant say I am shocked. Most of your post is factually inaccurate again.
Nick Mullens had more garbage time pass attempts in 10 games (8 starts), than Cousins had in 16. You just hate Cousins. I have to imagine adding Beathard and Jimmy to this equation makes this notion that Aiyuk would have had more production if he had Cousins level of garbage time even sillier.
Dalvin Cook faced less 8 man boxes in 2020 than Jeff Wilson. Dalvin Cook faced less 8 man boxes in 2019 than Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman or Matt Breida. I agree with your point about Aiyuk, but you are throwing out nonsense to argue it.
I believe that Aiyuk is better than Jefferson. The difference in their production for me is the quarterback, while you seem to think its the situation.
Another misguided and shortsighted post about you. I can't say I'm surprised at all because it seems like you cherry pick way too much. You're arguing that Cook faced less eight man boxes than Wilson? You're using Wilson as an example to support your case? You got to be kidding me. I'm positive that Cook was paid way more attention to than Wilson. I'm sure we faced a lot of nine man boxes as well. But you of course neglected that Viking still have Adam Thielen and a way better offense then what we had last year. At no point have I ever said I hated Kirk cousins. That's a lie. Wow. You're assuming and you know what they say about people that assume.
I am reposting facts. A smaller percentage of Cook's carries were against 8 men boxes than Wilson. I am aware its a small sample size, which is why I posted that Cook faced less 8 men boxes in 2019 than EVERY ONE of our running backs too. You can try to make this out to be my argument or point of view all you want, but this isnt MY argument. They are literally factual statistics.
Of course the Vikings had a way better offense than we had. We didnt have our starting QB and our RB1. That isnt some groundbreaking analysis by you. Again, I actually agree with you that Aiyuk might be better than Jefferson. Aiyuk had to face circumstances which Jefferson didnt.
My point is, you listed a bunch of reasons why you have a similar opinion as me....but your reasons are largely inaccurate.
The reason Jefferson had a better season than Aiyuk was because Jefferson had his QB1 throwing him the ball, and Aiyuk had his QB2 and QB3 for most of the season. Thats the difference.
You can say you dont hate Cousins, but you certainly dont like him. Thats not an assumption. You dont like him.
Aiyuk would of done better on the Vikings than on the niners. Possibly even better than Jefferson. Especially counting the 4 games he was injured/COVID lost.
