I mean he was just forcing stuff left and right and struggled to find any semblance of a rhythm. I know its early but it makes me wonder if Cousins will ever be the type of preseason hero that tempts a team to part with a day 1 or 2 draft pick a couple of years down the line.

I could be wrong, but I believe part of it was the coaches telling Cousins to target Brandon Banks a bit more. Cousins is going to struggle, no doubt, but I did see some potential in him. I think eventually he'll be a strong backup for us.
