Saints' Cameron Jordan takes massive shot at Vikings' Kirk Cousins

One gets the sense that New Orleans Saints pass rusher Cameron Jordan isn't much of a Kirk Cousins fan.

It makes sense, too, so it's not like this news has come out of left field. The Saints and Minnesota Vikings have developed a nice rivalry in the NFC and it is Jordan's job to take quarterbacks like Cousins down, after all.

There's usually no love lost between quarterbacks and pass rushers, but as the kids say, Cousins found himself "catching strays" at Von Miller's pass-rushing camp.

Jordan was there teaching the up-and-comers about decision-making, which is when he took the shot of shots at Minnesota's million-dollar man.

"In this game, like everybody knows ... a fast wrong decision could be a right decision and a fast right decision — you're a winner. A slow right decision, get your a-- on the bench, cuz there's somebody out here that's going to be moving at a different speed.

"Slow right decisions, we love them. Call 'em Kirk Cousins," Jordan said to the chuckles of those in the huddle with him.

To Jordan's point, Cousins clearly knows the game. He's been in the NFL since 2012 and he was a standout quarterback at Michigan State before that.

What has been the top "knock" on Cousins, though? Is he really an elite playmaker? Also, he's great during the regular season. Does he have what it takes to win the "big one", though? He's also thrown plenty of interceptions in his career, so he can sometimes be a defender's best friend.

To that point, Cousins threw for 4,547 yards and 29 touchdowns last season but he also had 14 interceptions. He's thrown 252 career touchdowns but also has 105 career interceptions.
