Sadly, Kirk Cousin's New Beard Hasn't Improved His Ability to Play Football
The decision by the Minnesota Vikings to gift Kirk Cousins $84million guaranteed last year is looking rather grim these days.
Team executives are very likely consumed by regret, particularly after the large egg he dropped at Soldier Field on Sunday.
Perhaps there was hope that the beleaguered slinger would get his shit together after he decided to grow a beard.
Unfortunately, this theory has proved erroneous:
About two weeks ago @athielen19 and @Gbradbury_11 said I needed to grow out my beard. Now @elflein65 is suggesting a mullet. Not sure where to go from here...thoughts?

We're guessing that frustrated WR Adam Theilen might have a few suggestions on what Cousins can do.
Here's Adam trying desperately not to insult Captain Checkdown while doing exactly that:
Adam Thielen is not happy with Kirk Cousins and the passing game.

Damn. Equal parts diplomatic and painfully honest.
It's missed connections like the following that have Thielen at a complete loss:

Yuck.
While the Bears defense is quite good, Cousins just looks totally inept at the moment.
And this regression includes his continued inability to hold onto the football when pressured:

Of course, Vikings WR's aren't the only ones taking exception to the harsh reality of Kirk Cousins:
