The life-saving Pro-Football-Reference.com has an interception percentage index statistic that adjusts a quarterback’s interception rate for the era in which he plays. Over his first three seasons, Cousins’s INT%+ is a dismal 66. Nobody in the history of the National Football League whose total number of pass attempts over their first three seasons equals Cousins’s total has thrown interceptions at a higher rate (relative to their peers) than he has. He took that title away from Ryan Leaf, who is the only other player in the 60s, at 67. That somehow makes it worse.

I don't see how they arrived at Cousin's "66" sounds like fun with numbers to me. A lot of those guys with high INTs don't average almost 300 yards a game passing like Kirk did last year. I think Leaf averaged less than 150 a game. Kirk still has upside. You know what you get with Colt, his best usually
isn't good enough and Griffin gets worse by the day.
