NFL Legend: Kirk Cousins Could Win MVP with Strong Team Support


Kirk Cousins will be starting quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. The Raiders are set to face the New York Jets on Sunday. Rich Gannon, a former NFL MVP, suggested Kirk Cousins has the skills to win an MVP if he has the right team support.

Gannon, who is a seasoned player, argued that Cousins doesn’t use his legs as much as he did, but acknowledged that the Raiders quarterback has significant experience and has won many games. Cousins started his professional career with the Washington Redskins after being drafted in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

Although his career started with the Washington Redskins, Cousins has been part of the rosters of the Minnesota Vikings and the Atlanta Falcons before joining the Raiders.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
