Cousins has arrived

[skinsfaninok]

Yeah man 73 percent is stupid. Shows how accurate he really is

[JoeRedskin]

Well, 73% is probably his ceiling. I mean, can we really expect any improvement at this point? The real question is what is his potential floor.


.... I kid, I kid. Just wanted to see Punch's head explode.


73% is an insane good number. So is his TD/INT ratio over the last 10 games.
23 TD/3 INT - an almost 8:1 ratio. That just doesn't happen. The top QB's generally have are ~3:1 ratio (in the 2.8 - 3.2 range). An 8:1 ratio is simply crazy. (For the season, Brady was at ~ 5:1, Rogers at ~ 4:1).

KC is really just putting up amazing numbers in the passing game.

Cousins success this year are due to a solid OL (Callahan), Cavanaugh, McVay, Gruden and solid receivers.

And the fact that he is really fookin good. No run game at all. Wait until he gets one of those working for him.
Also , I was just thinking, imagine if Griff stayed Griff from 2012, and somehow we figured out how great KC is. Can you imagine a 1-2 punch like that at qb???? Just platooning those two? Jesus.

[That Guy]

remember when 4,000 yards for a QB would put you in the top 3 or even top 1? things change i guess.

It's definitely become a pass happy league.

I'm interested in anything Mark Rypien has to say.

[JoeRedskin]

Hard to argue KC is playing some Elite Style QB.

Stats don't lie I've always said this, so I agree kirk is playing like a top 5 QB right now. Honestly who is playing better? R Wilson and cam newton that's about all I got. Palmer maybe that's it though

I doubted him, I thought he might turn into a serviceable place holder as McCloughan built a team and after he got the meat of the team the way he wanted, then he would find the franchise QB. I think I even called him Rex Grossman 2.0 early in the season. I am so glad I was so wrong. What an awesome surprise, we may already have our franchise QB. That puts us at least 2 years ahead of schedule.

Why do I say may? Well, because the last time I let myself be this excited about our QB, it was RG3. In 2012 I thought,(having suffered through Schuler, Frerotte, Ramsey, and Campbell) FINALLY, a young franchise QB! He was a sure thing, I mean look what he had done, and he was just a rookie! Skies the limit, he's possibly a future HOF, he's changing the position, and he will only get better as he learns to be a pocket passer! Also, the team seemed to love playing with him, and he had a personality (unlike Jason Campbell *cough* *cough*). We were just beginning a new golden age of the Redskins. And then . . .

Ok, so I'm trying not to have my heartbroken again, but to me this time it feels different. I think he might be the one. Let me count the reasons:

1."You Like That!" most importantly he is passionate, which is just so fun to watch and route for, it kind of reminds me of watching Favre. God knows I'm acting like a maniac after a TD or a big win, and I want a QB that is pumped. He certainly matches and probably exceeds my level of passion as a fan, and I like that!

2. He's a pocket passer. He doesn't need to completely reinvent his style of play to progress as a QB. Even if he stops developing right now, and has this level of production (past 10 games) going forward he will be the best QB we've ever had, and be top 5 - 10 in the league.

3. I don't hold my breath every time he steps back in the pocket, or gets hit, or scrambles . . .

4. The whole team is inspired by him, not just likes him and thinks he's talented. He has won the whole team over and it shows, and they all seem to be having a blast!

If next season goes as we all are imagining it will right now, I think I'll be ready to commit.

I would not worry about him breaking your heart like Griff. KC-1 is built to last.

It's hard to argue that Kirk is playing at an elite level right now. The biggest question, and this really goes for the entire team and not just Kirk, is whether they truly turned a corner a month ago or are the stats on offense severely inflated due to the level of competition they've faced to close the season.

It doesn't really matter for the rest of this season because playoff win or not, 9-7/winning the division is way exceeding expectations.

However because of the results, the expectations going into 2017 are going to end up being similar to 2013 where it is automatically expected the team is going to be 2-3 wins better, a playoff team, deeper run in post-season.
