But Kirk had a better idea. Like much of the NFL world, the 35-year-old veteran QB is in Las Vegas this week for the many Super Bowl festivities taking place in the desert. Those festivities include the NFL Honors ceremony tonight, where the league is announcing all of the 2023-24 season awards (MVP, DPOY, OPOY, ROY, etc).

Kirk Cousins, Cam Jordan steal show at NFL Honors

When Kirk Cousins and Cam Jordan took the stage, though, the show went next level (something that has become synonymous with Kirk lately). Suddenly, shirtless dancers took the stage and “My Pony” came on, as Kirk and Cam looked at each other in “confusion”. You can guess what happened next. Let’s just say… Kirko’s achilles looks pretty good.

There are so many layers to what happened on that Las Vegas stage tonight. The most obvious, is how much of a king Kirk Cousins is. The Minnesota Vikings would be stupid to let this dude get away.

But as previously mentioned, Kirk got a chance to show off his healing achilles tendon in the best and most attention-grabbing way possible, with this performance. Most of the NFL executives he would want to prove his recovery to were in the Las Vegas audience tonight. Those who weren’t will soon be notified, if they weren’t watching on TV for themselves.

The least talked about storyline to Kirk’s choreographed on-stage dance routine tonight, though, was his partner. Let’s not forget that it was less than one year ago that Cam Jordan used a summer training program to talk shit about Cousins, saying that the best players think fast, even if the decisions they make aren’t always the best decisions. That those who make “slow right decisions, we love ’em. Call ’em Kirk Cousins”.

He has all the physical tools needed to be a great QB and, when given time in a good pocket, Kirk will make defenses pay nearly every time. But when the offensive game-plan goes awry, Cousins’ instincts can be slow to kick in.

Cam Jordan throws shade at Kirk Cousins

New Orleans Saints pass rusher, Cam Jordan, is clearly one NFL player who buys into these Kirk Cousins stereotypes. Jordan was speaking in front of a group of pass rushers at Von Miller’s annual pass rush summit about the importance of playing fast and thinking less. His speech, which didn’t mention any other player specifically, ended with a rehearsed shot across the bow at Kirk Cousins.

“A fast wrong decision can be a right decision. A fast right decision, you’re a winner. And a slow right decision will get your ass on the bench. Cause there’s someone out here that’s going to be moving at a different speed. Slow right decisions, we love ’em. We call ’em Kirk Cousins…”

Why so mad, Cam?

As I pointed out at the start of this blog, Kirk Cousins is more of a thinker than a reactor. But he isn’t the only QB who is like that around the NFL. He’s just the best one. Kirk has found ways to work around one of his biggest weaknesses to become one of the most proficient quarterbacks in the NFL, regularly throwing for over 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns just about every season of his career.

What Cam Jordan’s shade really shows us is just how frustrated the Kirk haters are right now. There are 70+ QBs on active NFL rosters every year. Kirk is among the 10 best. So picking on the best “overthinker” in the league doesn’t make much sense.

Especially when it’s Kirk Cousins who has dominated his matchup vs Jordan’s Saints. In fact, the Vikings have just one playoff win since Kirk took over as QB in 2018. It came against Jordan’s Saints and included a couple of late-game dagger from Cousins.
