I’m more amused by this than I care to admit. debating which wash out is a better comp seems silly though basically he’s boom or bust. It’s hard to break out of the top side of that in just a few games but he hasn’t fallen out of the bottom either

because a true #1 is 30+ on the market? 19 is Christian Kirk money.

statistically that doesn’t tend to be the case in the nfl though, and that’s across large and long samples. Pass rush ties to bad reads from qbs, tipped balls, strip sacks and generally also an aggressive D that is hitting ball carriers we could be keying some other metric that has helped… or it could be a little luck mixed in. We’ve seen statistical anomalies regress back plenty of times here. But on the flip side of that we may have an MVP proving all of math wrong… just throwing out the fact that we are a little out of sync between elite turnovers and not elite processes that cause turnovers

I’ve not seen near enough to speak confidently but he played like a toolsy guy that needs to take a few big steps forward. If he does he could be elite. If he doesn’t he could be will levis.

my worry just remains whether that’s sustainable - pass rush tends to be the biggest indicator. Hot and cold there; so I’ve continued to imagine we end up closer to middle of the pack. But here we are deep in December at 2.

cousins could play on league minimum collecting the Atlanta guarantee

if the kickoff was fumbled and he needed to walk on the field, was he ready based on how he was managing himself? was he helping his team all be ready? sometimes you have to set it aside and deal with it later

For a stacked up offense they went from a dealbreaker to not a dealbreaker.

and he’d get better training so you might see him moving around a little better that said, without putting pen to paper likely behind the elite but ahead of the pretenders

yea, I’ll say if in the playoffs with refs letting things get physical and I was a DC against the bills pre-Amari… my plan would still be to bottle up the short and middle and dare Mack hollins to win the game by catching a bunch of chunk plays outside. Amari changes that drastically come on…. 2 HOF and moulds? Its posts like this that derail the thread

yea, I mean cousins arm should look a little better once his foundation is ready for the rigors of an nfl season. What will be interesting is if they cut him, pay the guaranteed and someone else gets him really cheap. At league minimum salary he could land a lot of interesting places

I’ll continue to say - if that’s not motivation to practice fielding the ball cleanly, I don’t know what would be the hands team should have voluntary practices to just hurl the ball at each other

if nothing else, shocked he’s not seeing some of those Ty Johnson/James cook/shakir looks out of the backfield that go downfield yea, but there’s still a pretty large gap to that low ceiling even if you believe it’s the ceiling.

A matchup of first round qbs? I’ll take it plus penix is starting now

you strike me as the type that would ask your new wife if your ex-wife can move in as it would help with the bills and she knows the house and your habits already.
