ORIGINAL: paulgly I was never a Cousins crusader, but I also never really understood the perception he doesn't lead 4th quarter comebacks? I mean that was almost the entire year of 2022 for us (yes with one very notable exception). For his career 23 4th quarter comebacks, 29 game winning drives. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/comebacks_career.htm He has more 4th quarter comebacks than Aaron Rodgers. Carr, Dalton, Testaverde, and Tannehill rankings were some surprises on that list! The problem wasn't that....he was such a slow starter in games and season is the issue. If you attack teams, make plays and execute early you don't need a 4th quarter comeback. Darnold is more efficient from the beginning of the game/season and that is a stat that doesn't show (in 4th quarter comebacks). There was a stat that was sent to me....Kirk has never started the season 2-0. [:-] Yeah I get that; never loved him but he I think the point was he did better than the narrative at the end of games overall. Problem also was some of the ones where he didn't were higher profile (ie Giants playoff game). Well that's the point. The absence of making big plays in the critical moments of big games ... or to get to big games. But that horse has been beat down to the molecular level.
