Cousins had the #30 QB Rating in the final two minutes of halves last season. You can't be that bad and have any real expectations of a deep run in the playoffs. The final two minutes is about leadership, charisma and moxy. He has very little of it. [&:] Like clockwork - posting the same 2020 stat over and over again. What's the p value on that n sample when compared to his season and career? Or even more relevant - compared to final two minutes for his career? Perhaps reposting facts bothers your narrative... What's my narrative? What bothers me is it's a cherry picked stat that I don't even know if it's true that Brad uses to push his agenda. He's not even a Vikings fan. It is the irony of Bill's post. But - my position is and has been for the last year: Cousins is a fringe top 10 QB. I think very accurate and tough. The extension was a mistake and I wanted a QB drafted. I want any position upgraded, including QB, in the hopes of winning a championship. I don't know if Cousins is slow in read progression or holds the ball too long - I don't know the play calls. I highly doubt Cousins is given audible freedom (which QB has been given that under Zimmer)? Cousin's contract through this year is not the main reason we have cap issues. Highest it's been is 28 or 29 M, the rest of the years it's been in the low to mid 20s. Not much different than what Keenum would have cost. Next year and the year after is where we will be hurt with his contract. Our cap issues are bad extensions like Kyle and Barr. And Rhodes/Joseph falling off a cliff. The final issue is first round draft picks from 2016 to 2019 BOMBING (hoping Bradbury changes the narrative). Cousins is not a top tier QB, he doesn't have the pocket awareness that Tom Brady (and others have). I like Cousins more than some on this board and less than others. Our line has been terrible, and our playcalling predictable. It's a team sport and in the last 20 years or so, only 2 QBs have elevated their team to win a SB without a top 10 D and running game (if I remember right). Cousins will definitely never do that.

Cherry pick a top 5 QB and think the spaghetti will stick to the wall. Get Kirk a line first and the fumble numbers will improve. Josh Allen had a great year and when Kirk was younger he was top 5 in rushing and TDs many years but continued health now is more important. Josh Allen healthy is better than Josh Allen trying to be a punishing man child.

Prior to that day teams on the road that were 15 point + underdogs were 4-91 and none of the four won by more than seven points. We were down 27-0. It would have been worse if Allen's receivers hadn't dropped so many balls that hit them right in the hands. I was at that game and walked away thinking the Bills found themselves something special. Cousins had a very high completion percentage though.

These arguments are getting a bit....well...a bit like beating a dead horse..... Cousins IS our QB. We have to live with that for at least this year. Unless some miracle happens and we somehow acquire someone better while off loading kirk. Don't like it all you want. Cousins is here to stay. at least for now. How can we make it so he succeeds?

quote: ORIGINAL: kurt bilben quote: ORIGINAL: Bill Johanesen quote: ORIGINAL: DavidAOlson quote: ORIGINAL: David F. Cousins is in the 11-15 range in terms of QBs. QBs I 100% put ahead of him: Rodgers Brady Watson Mahomes Dak Josh Allen Russel Wilson Rodgers is currently on strike. Brady, for a single season. Watson, if not for the massive scandal. Mahomes, duh. Dak, 80%. Jerry Jones of undervalues him for.. reasons. Plus let's see how he comes back from his injury. Allen, I'd like to see another solid season before I'd place him firmly in this group, 80%. Russel Wilson, for sure. quote: QBs I 80% sure put ahead of him: Tannehill Lamar Jackson Justin Herbert Rapeyburger Tannehill, I dunno. Flip. I'd consider Jackson for the 100% group, but maybe chicken out and leave him here with Dak and Allen. Herbert? On performance, no. On promise, maybe. He's not in the solid veteran group yet. Rapeyburger, I don't trust him this much. Seems like he's teetering on the career-ending cliff. Flip at best. quote: QBs I 60% sure put ahead of him: Derek Carr Matt Ryan Kyler Murray Drew Brees would have been in the 100% category but not in 2020. Well, since Brees retired, it's hard to rank him higher than anyone. Matt Ryan makes me shrug like Tannehill. Derek Carr, push. I'd reluctantly include him in the solid veteran group with Tannehill, Ryan, and Cousins, I guess. Kyler Murry, I'm tempted to go 80%. But that's maybe overweighting promise. So I guess 60%. Stafford? I'd consider Stafford ahead of Cousins, at least the 60% group. The guy has had a solid career despite playing for Detroit! Mayfield? He could improve markedly. So I dunno. Cousins is in a cluster that maybe tops out around #10. But 3-4 of the top QBs him have major question marks. I wouldn't be surprised if his 2021 performance were rated anywhere from #6 to #14. Depends on who gets hot, injuries, coaching, and teammates. I like your take on the take. Ryan - Carr - Stafford - Cousins is a nice grouping outside of the top 10. This should be a perfect post to end the back and forth.. Seems about right until one of them either steps forward or backward. It was in my book ha! Cousins turnovers are disconcerting. The fumbles. The wide lead in the number of picks to end halves. He is what he is. The NFL is littered with good arm stat guys. Marino, Bledsoe, Jeff George, Moon, and on and on. But they are not leaders. Once in a great while a team with a Dilfer wins it all, but it's because the team had one or more overwhelming traits. Cousins give the team a chance to be in the playoffs along with damn near half the league, but only if most all the other positions are hitting. Otherwise, close up shop early. And he will put butts in seats. That's about it.

And while the OL has been bad, he has had WRs that routinely bail out a QB. Diggs, Theilen, Jefferson are all top notch. Rudolph wasn't much but was a good safety valve and end zone guy. Cook is one of the league's best RBs.

It (QB fumbles while running) appears to be a difficult stat to go dig around for. And other claims are based more on the Mark 1 eyeball. Wouldn't matter anyway because someone would claim it's another cherry picked stat. People can claim cherry pick all they want, but when you start stringing like ones together they shouldn't ignore the picture that's painted.
