Vikings fans call for Tom Brady to sign autograph after Cousins ​​injury

Although the Minnesota Vikings may be without Kirk Cousins ​​this season, they are worth fighting for.

The Vikings started 0-3 and went 4-1 in October, adding back-to-back wins over Super Bowl favorites the San Francisco 49ers and rival Green Bay Packers the following week. , and showed his courage.

But with the future of the franchise’s quarterback in question, it’s time to make bold moves rather than just lip service.

Losing Cousins ​​to a locker room injury to his right Achilles is a departure from the winning culture that Kevin O’Connell and Kwesi Adofo-Mensah promised when they arrived in Minnesota two years ago.

Vikings fans took to social media to call on the organization to make a historic move – bringing Tom Brady back out of retirement.

Tom Brady’s relationship with the Minnesota Vikings

It sounds like a pipe dream, but Brady does have a lot of connections to Minnesota.

Heading into the 2018 Super Bowl hosted by Minnesota, Brady revealed his hometown, saying his mother is from Brouville, a small town two hours northwest of the Twin Cities metro.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback spent many summers with his grandparents in Brouville and has some of his “best memories” from his childhood, calling himself “half-Minnesota.”

“I love coming back here. I have a lot of family here. It’s a great state to be in,” Brady said as he recalled milking cows, catching sunfish from his grandparents’ boat and frying them for dinner, according to Yahoo Sports.

Brady has also been linked to the Vikings organization. He has crossed paths with O’Connell, who served as Brady’s backup in 2008. Defensive coordinator Brian Flores also spent a decade in the same building as Brady, most notably serving as the defensive play-caller in the Patriots’ 2019 Super Bowl win.

Vikings prepare ahead of trade deadline

This week will be one of the most defining of Adolf Mena’s tenure in Minnesota.

Faced with the opportunity to embrace tanking or keep the locker room busy, Adofo-Mensah’s decision at quarterback will impact the team for years to come.

Of course, giving Jalen Hall some opportunities is part of the process of evaluating their young quarterback, but it’s a situation neither he nor the team planned for in his rookie year.

Simply sticking with Hall means this team isn’t trying to capitalize on the momentum it had to overcome an 0-3 start and win three straight games without superstar Justin Jefferson.

The offensive line has become one of the top units in the league by multiple advanced metrics. The defense has been disruptive and opportunistic in recent weeks. Jordan Addison answered the doorbell while Jefferson was away.

Over the past few weeks, the phases have been synchronized and complementary for the first time in years.

However, there was a dark cloud hanging over the locker room of Sunday’s win at Lambeau Field, with many players coming to terms with the reality that their quarterback may have played his final game of the season.

The shot was a disservice to the 52 other players in the locker room who were winless in the first month of the season.

While sitting at quarterback may lead to wins on draft day, it will undoubtedly drain morale in the locker room.
