Its all situational and that’s not under Cousins control.

I think you are underrating the team Cousins had/has around him in Minnesota. Kirk has had in his career: Diggs, Thelin, and (when Diggs left) Jefferson. He had a few years of a solid TE in Kyle Rudolph, and I believe has always had Dalvin Cook.

It is very fair to criticize him for not winning with that much talent around him and the money and the type of contract he demands.

I'm sure he can win with a stacked team like Tampa Bay, New Orleans, or San Francisco. The question is, will he reduce his price (see Brady) to go to a team like that to win.
