First 6 games: 7 TD Passes 6 Rushing TD's
Last 7 Games: 13 TD Passes, 0 Rushing TD's.
However he's still using his feet enough to scare the life out of us no less then 3 or 4 times a game. And obviously he's been injured since Baltimore due to a freak accident on a scramble.
Either way the upcoming shortage of passers coming into the league is very worrisome. Both in 2013 and 2014.
Sure it's great for pumping up Cousins value but until RG3 shows he can stay healthy for long stretches we need him more then a 2nd and or 3rd round pick. I can live without another Jenkins and LeRibeus though I wouldn't object to more players like them.

Very good post. What's the old saying? The 2nd most important position on the team is back up QB. It's a good feeling to now know that we have two young guys that have shown that they can play the position at a high level. We need Cousins and hopefully he stays around for a few more years.
