Some just don't think Cousins is a very good QB. I'm ok with that. Shinny stats no win guy. If you post that our D is one of the most pitiful in our history it goes back to teams have won Super Bowls with worse defenses. I'm not even going to get into that one. Now some have pointed out that we are stacked at CB. Who cares about being stacked with young guys that are stilling trying to get up to their highest level, an old guy that has lost his most important physical skill for his game and other so so players like Mac. That's not stacked it's still a major concern in my mind especially when we need to beat out a future HOF QB just for the division title. Then we have the GOAT who is playing as well as ever. We need some ring of honor CBs. People will point out that Cousins CAP hit is killing our team and he should take less but he don't care. Hunter wants more and didn't even contribute last year and maybe this year also. That's up in the air. He don't care either. Zim will improve our D because he has a proven track record and seems pissed that his D was a laughing stock. He's basically pouring whip cream over horse crap at this point. We will go from a joke to average. That won't do it for the show with what we have to face. And when we do crash the lose will go to Cousins because that's part of his positional stat. Our D could turn it around at the end and get hot like the Bucs D did. They made Brees, Rodgers and Mahomes look less than average. That's a huge task. Not many HCs in the history of the NFL has built a D that could play like that for a short stretch. Zim had his chance but let Foles pick apart his D. I'd like to see us get Jones in the draft. That will never happen. But at least we don't have Keenum or some other bum now. Next step will be a DE or OL selection in the draft. That's the logical choice. QB won't enter the thought process until round 4 at the earliest. Too late at that point.Pondering Her Percy wrote: ↑Sat Apr 03, 2021 11:09 pmYeah that Seattle game was over with one damn yard. But it ends up being another knock on cousins against a winning team in prime time. It’s exactly why I don’t buy into that “cousins vs winning teams in prime time” stat. It doesn’t tell anywhere near the whole story. Not saying he’s never played bad in prime time but Kyle Brandt on Good Morning Football dug deep into that stat a year ago. Cousins actually plays better in prime time games but his defense gave up on average, over 34 points a game in those same games. Just to put that into prospective, no defense in the nfl this year gave up that many points per game on average. The closest was Detroit with 32.4. THAT is how bad his defenses have been in prime time over his career. That’s disgustingly badCharVike wrote: ↑Sat Apr 03, 2021 11:52 am
This is the one that's hard to get out of the mind.
The fact that Mattison couldnt gain a single yard against Seattle to close the game out (when their was a massive hole to the right of him). A PLAYOFF team.
To me it looked like Matti had zero vision. Perfect tunnel vision. He basically could have crawled into the end zone. I couldn't even take a guess on what happened on that play. But it looked like this no base OL we had and are still building that way for movement was driven clear into the intended hole and then our back took the hand off and straight ahead no matter what but didn't even get low enough. Bottom line one step cut and walk in. It was beyond him on that play. Head scratchier for a pro back.
Cousins has the loser label. I watched a blurb on Dak and a guy talking about how Dak brings the boys back late again a true winner. He points out a game against the Giants. A bottom feeder team that he should dominate. Big deal. Then he points out that he almost brought the boys back against the Rodgers lead Packers. The key there is Almost. Almost is another word for loser. I'll stick by what I always post about Cousins that he is the best since Fran. But I would still like to see us try to upgrade. But an upgrade is off the table right now because Zim wants his D fixed. And he's signing one year cast off fixes at a rate that far exceeds even crappy CAP management. Perfect example 10M to a guy that deserves league minimum. Even the min is a long stretch for a guy who can't run anymore.
