Cousins Saga 4.0. Is he done in DC?

[MTK]

It’s just funny to hear someone call Cousins a dink and dunk QB while at the same time lobbying for Alex Smith. By the way neither are dink and dunk, both are in the top 6 in yards per attempt.

It is both funny and completely inaccurate. Jesus effin Christ.

It is all about wins and loses.

Russell Wilson carried the Seahawks with team injuries , offensive line issues , no running game. Kirk can not carry a team. If you want to continue seeing other teams play in January, bet on Cousins. He is an average QB, in a system that can’t produce in the red zone . You don’t pay an average QB 27+million. You pay a game changing QB 27+ million ie Russell Wilson , Tom Brady , Drew @ NO, Big Ben.
By the way they are in the playoffs.

Very interesting article by Andy Benoit about the paradox of Russell Wilson: https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/12/13/ru...darrell-bevell

Wilson has long stretches where he is just awful. Case in point was the first 3 quarters against the Redskins this year. Comparing a process-oriented, read the field QB like Cousins to an improviser like Wilson is difficult. That said, both are the best players on their respective offenses.
