The road to the Super Bowl is structured in a way that when you get to the playoffs, each person on your team has to go out and deliver their best game ever. Each player has to rise to the occasion for those games. So not only does each player have to plow through and perform through an entire season they also have to have the qualities that enable them to give their best in the playoffs. Gibbs one and even Gibbs two (in a slightly lesser degree) was able to bring that out in all of his players. He is an extraordinary individual and a great coach.

With Kirk we've seen that he is capable of plowing through the season and giving a good performance, however when it comes to the games where you have to rise to the occasion and perform extra-ordinary so far he has not delivered. The two end year Giant games and the Green Bay playoff game are proof of that. We can kind of give him a pass for the Breen Bay game because it was his first one, but he gets no pass for both Giant games.

Cousin's needs to show us that he possesses that extra-ordinary quality. So far he has not.

That being said, if you wrapped a bunch of players around Cousin's that are talented and have that extra-ordinary quality, then we could win a Super Bowl with Cousins.

However, if you have a QB that does possess that extra-ordinary quality, where they perform at their best in the playoffs, they can overcome other deficiencies on the team.

So I'm not saying anything that has not been said before. I just wanted to point out that because of the way the NFL works, it's not enough to create great stats. during the year. Your team has to possess that extra-ordinary quality to get to the Super Bowl.
