Re: Who is Kirk Cousins?
Seven of Kirk's 10 TD's that came in his last five games came against NO (4) and TBay (3). Both excellent games on his part. Both at home. Each followed by a clunker (in part caused by the competition - NE & Carolina). His play yesterday was solid but not spectacular - a level, however, for which I have no complaints.
In his five away games, he has thrown 5 TD's and 8 INT's. This, too, is a trend. With that said, in his first three away games, he threw 1 TD/2 INT's each; in the last two (Carolina, NE), he threw 1 TD/ 1 INT. If he truly improves and reverses the ratio from the first away games, that would be significant. Also, KC's inconsistencies track with the teams. While I realize this is a chicken/egg thing (is KC dragging down team or vice versa), if the Kool-Aid KC Worshippers wish for converts, KC needs to win when the team is down. Right now, he doesn't (which, BTW, is not a horrible trait or one that marks him as a "Bad" QB - however, to me, it does demonstrate a limited ceiling). Kirk will quell my doubts when: (1) We have a three game win streak. (2) KC wins an away game. We play Dallas at home followed by Chicago at Soldier Stadium. If we win those two, I am officially a KC supporter (although it will take some time for me to completely stop thinking that the other shoe will drop). Chicago will be a tough out, but it will be the kind of game in which a "good" QB must perform well. To me, that's the current "trend setting game" on my radar. They have the 49'er this week. Assuming they beat them, we will both be 6-6 for the game (We WILL beat the Cowboys - Period). Playoff implications will be on the line. Pressure will be high. To convince me Kirk has a higher ceiling than what he has historically shown, then "Good Kirk" (not even "Great Kirk") needs to show up in Chicago. As to the absence of drama and the end of divisiveness, I absolutely agree that Kirk has brought that. He appears to be very well liked by the team. All of that is good. However, Rex Grossman was loved by his teammates on the Bears (and here apparently). He was a Jekyll/Hyde QB with serious limitations. Right now KC looks a lot like Grossman to me. Can he prove he is not? Kaptain Kirk's Kool-Aid Drinkers say "YES!" The rest of say "Let's wait a bit first. After four years in the league, it's show me time." He has shown some, but, he has some serious hurdles to overcome for me to believe he is not "Just a guy." And, again, I end by saying ... He is our best option this year and likely next. Further, he is better than many starting QB's currently out there.

Re: Who is Kirk Cousins?
I saw a stat earlier that said Only Tony Romo and Rivers have better comp % than Kirk.. If thats true (haven't had a chance to look) thats pretty damn good.

Yes according to the stats he is right behind Rivers in second place for completion percentage. You might as well throw out Romo if you include him you might as well include Sam Koch |

Re: Who is Kirk Cousins?
Yes. Completion percentage is important. However, historically yards/pass attempt is a much more telling number. In that category, Kirk has been much less impressive (21st out of 32 - although he is ahead of Rodgers)
Quote:
Kirk completes a lot of short passes. It is how Gruden's scheme is designed. There were several deep shots designed for yesterday's game. Except for the one shot to Desean and the one to Roberts, I don't recall any other deep shots taken by him despite the several designed 7 step drops. Maybe the shot wasn't there and it was a good check down. Maybe he just doesn't pull the trigger. Dunno. Would love to see the All-22. AGAIN - Still best option. Still likely best option for next year. Not a hater, just not one of Kaptain Kirk's Kool-Aid Klub (yet).

It's a team game, like I said. You also can compare his Pass Per Attempt, which is better then Rogers, Rivers, Brady, Both Mannings. So..... Yea

Who is Kirk Cousins?
Quote:
Hahahahaha. Dont worry JR when you are ready we will welcome you into the Captain Kirk fan club. Edit: in all honesty I have been maintaining that KC is quite suitable to lead a team to the promised land, which of course should be the goal of any NFL QB. I believe what this guy is doing with the injuries, lack of a run game, and through most games this season - a not so good D is very very promising. I believe once SM builds a better "team" that this guy will shine. I do not believe he is a Grossman or anything even close to that. I believe he - over these next 5 games will ascend to JR's level of belief. I do not think he is a hall of famer like Brady or Rodgers or Brees will be. I do believe he is capable of winning a championship for us. I believe he is going to go down as one of the best QB's to dawn the B&G. All of this while emerging from the ashes of one of the great quarterback debacles in history in a town starving for a quarterback like no other. |
