With your QB having a tendency to hold onto the ball too long -or- the playcall demanding the QB hold onto the ball too long (slow developing routes). Another thing that's impossible to know.

In an interview yesterday with NFL Network, Cousins talked about how he could made an incorrect call in the huddle and that could cause problems. It happened at practice. Made the call, made the wrong protection call and the Center did exactly what he was supposed to do on that call and that left Harrison Phillips unblocked to the QB.

Not saying this happens all the time...just that the QB can made an incorrect call and the lineman did nothing wrong.

Kirk's biggest problem is Kirk Cousins. He doesn't completely let go of his mental hangups until he's put in a position where he's forced to. This is highlighted in the series Quarterback that is so popular right now. If he could play like he does when he's behind in the fourth quarter when it's just the second or third quarter and we're up by 10 then these games would be salted away by the fourth. He's also really good on the first drive because it's scripted and he knows how it's going to go. Dude has absolutely zero killer instinct.

On the show quarterback, they highlight a play early in the game at Philly last year. They run Cook up the gut for -1 yard. Kirk says he should have checked out of the play based on the look of the D. Coach says the same. It was obvious to everyone within a half mile of the line of scrimmage. But he just ran the damn play. Meanwhile Mahomes is identifying D schemes after getting picked and is talking on the sideline to his coaches and players about how to make them pay - and then does. Mahomes is allowed to design plays (must be approved by Andy Reid) and is shown calling and performing them for easy TDS. Meanwhile Kirk is speaking the existing play calls that are givin to him on Tuesday into his phone so he can practice saying them out loud during the week. Yes - Kirk works hard - to stay slightly above average.

So Mahomes never ran a play he had bad vibes about and wished he would of checked out of it later. There isn't a QB that hasn't done that. You make it sound like Kirk does it every other series.

Technically the series on TV makes it sound like that. Of course there are exceptions to all of this - tons of them. When Kirk ran the ball in for a TD against Arizona (I think?) that was an exception - and what a great one! The series showed that too and filmed coaches takes on it after the fact (coaches loved it). These are still just exceptions though. The theme of the show is clear to me. They are highlighting an elite QB, an above average one, and a poor one. Mahomes has won two super bowls and played in three and won the division title every year he's played. Cousins has one playoff win. Mariota gets benched.

Kirk's lack of killer instinct leads to too many 3 and outs in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.

I am guessing Kirk has more experience playing behind then some of the other QBs listed ?

Cousins is merely a game manager who once in a while starts zinging the ball all over. But the latter is not in his DNA.

He is a statue and going off script is not in his nature, so he is a problem. We are stuck with someone who would be perfect under Vince Lombardi while the styles of Mahomes, Allen, and several others are what's needed.

Yikes. No pressure. Looks at the receiver the whole way, and under throws him by 5 yards.

I see backup arena qb in his future…if he’s lucky.

And does Cousins deserve the bad rap as much as its attached to him for holding the ball too long? The eye test seems to be different for those that have a tendency be critical of him more than those that find themselves defending him a lot. Don't know, but Id be interested in a study by an unbiased "expert"

I disagree. Game 2. Kirk says it's one of those moments that he realized he wasn't comfortable yet in the [new] system. "Our guy" is going to give you the truth all day regardless if it makes him look bad.

Probably some bias here and people are seeing what they want to see I'll concede that but this series focuses a lot on how difficult it is to play QB. There's much more to it than physical ability. It makes me wonder how those that aren't super motivated would look with an in-depth view into their job performance.

Eight billion people on the planet and we have one of the guys that can win us a SB. This would be a good time for everyone, for one time, to drop all preconceived notions and just roll with some positivity - "negativity sucks!" One time!
