Is Cousins Top 5 QB In NFL?

[Stymietee]

It's interesting that there's use of "he" when the topic is QB, as in "he won the game," or "he did this or that to win the game" and the use of the same completely disappears or is relegated to a incidental role with losses. It turns out that football is a team game, good teams win, bad ones lose. QB's for all the glory and blame that they get, command the most dependent position in football.

This is the NFL that we're talking about, NOT the NBA, where a Jordan and Pippen can carry teams to championships. For as much as they want to glorify QB's in that same vein, unless they are able to reduce the number of players to 5 on both sides of the ball, it's just never going to happen... unless there's some way to convince/ sell this nonsense to the general public.

You do realize he has been on teams that hover around .500 with defenses consistently ranked in the 20s? Find good QBs on .500 teams with defenses in the 20s and tell me what their win percentages are against winning teams.

So, KC is responsible for the FG kicker missing three FGs against GB after putting them in FG range for a win?

I put the loss of Buffalo squarely on KC.

Is it KC’s fault the defense gave up 31 to the Rams? KC has put his team in position to win four games on the season.

you can make excuses all u want...winners win, peyton won with crap, so have many top 5 qb's, im not gonna get into an argument on a team board, people get upset about that

I don't think the OP was asking if Cousins was a top 5 QB in the past.

well just this year, @Nosferatu do u feel hes top 5

id argue this season easily

mahomes
brees
rivers
goff
ryan
rodgers

just at a quick thought

 

[ehb5]

lolzzz, sour grapes, look it up!

I know what they are.

But i think anybody on this board can tell you I wouldve laughed at the idea of him being a top 5 QB any time in the past couple years. I probably have. That doesnt change because he left. Its still crazy.

I agree Stybie Wan. Two of the best QBs I have ever seen play were Sonny Jurgensen and Dan Marino but neither played on very many football games. Winning is the goal but one guy on a team can make a team a winner.

Both are HOF , qbs

Cousin's is 2nd in attempts and yards; ties for 7th in TDs; top 3 in INTs; 5th in completion percentage; 7th in QB rating.

I'll call him top 7.

So...you can’t back up your stupidity with intelligence? I am not shocked. All you have is winners win? Like I said, his defenses here were ranked in the 20s and we were a .500 team, so give me a QB with a good record against winning teams under those circumstances.


You claim both Rodgers and Ryan have easily been better this season than KC. How do you figure and drop out their names? Oh, and I am not being a homer considering I believe Ryan Fitzpatrick has been top three. I am also not saying KC has been top five but an argument can easily be made.

 

[SteelersPride]

Or result to being a dick when I tried to not fight on a board that I’ve gotten yelled at before on. Yelled at for football discussions, sure. You are right I have nothing

 

[skinsdad62]

As long as you are debating ( which you are with legit opinion I may add ) you should be ok . Just no name calling ( which you havent )

You guys forgot Big Ben and Russell Wilson.

Not this season.

 

[Breed]

Not this season.

I'd take both over KC right now and wouldn't blink. Same goes for Anderw Luck.
