ORIGINAL: Jeff Jesser Yeap. To me it is/was simple. Did he have great stats? Yeap Did he make really nice throws? Yeap Was/is he ever going to win a SB? Nope Move on, use the money better ect. No championship winning QB throws a check down on 4th and 8 on the last play of the game. Doesn't matter if it's preseason or the SB. He showed his colors there. It's not even a knock on him. It's just who is. A guy that has made a killing because he can throw a nice football. Not a great QB. Great QBs know when they are behind, with less than two minutes to go, and no timeouts, that you have to spike the ball to stop the clock. After 12 years as a starting QB in the NFL making great throws and piling up great stats, Kirk Cousins didn't know that. People think of him as a top 10 QB, you hear the pundits all the time because they don't see the simple nuance of not spiking a ball, which is instinct for a Brady, Rodgers, Mahomes etc, Not throwing a check down on 4th and 8 when your SEASON is on the line, same thing. instinct for the best, not even a consideration for Cousins. I am delighted someone took the scissors out of our hands and over paid him. Falcons fans are going to be calling for Penix pretty quickly when they realize they don't have a guy with the cajónes to bring his team back for a win late.
