I'll own it. I have been a Cousins homer. You win the Forrest Gump award "stupid is, as ...." You proclaimed him a loser and a career backup earlier in the year. He is the 7th rated QB in the league, using QB rating. It does you promoted him to average. I am sticking with what I said before game 1. Give the guy a chance. one season does not a successful QB career but he took a big step this year. Apparently most around the league feel the same way.
I was interested in another thread where you said he has not proved he can throw every pass in the NFL .... which ones didn't he throw? Behind his back and between his legs?
Clearly we don't see eye to eye on this subject. Home signing out Forrest. I do have a couple of years in football or maybe a quarter century. Clearly you have been mostly wrong so far but other than the couple of passes I just mentioned tell me what he can't do. Tell Trent Williams and the rest of his teammates too. Maybe you haven't been reading what they said.
If you haven't seen an out since the Atlanta game I can't help you understand what one looks like. Still whining about that pick? He has 20 TDs and 3 INTs since then, one of the highest QB ratings in the entire league since that point. Has set numerous single season records for the Redskins. Who is hiding behind an elusive target. I got facts. He has thrown the back shoulder fade, probably not in your desired timeline but then too you thought he was a career backup.
I find it odd that you don't understand the concept of learning through experience. Ever go to McDonalds when there was a new person behind the counter? Would you rather be waited on by that person on the one that has been there three years? I am fairly certain you can apply this analogy to any line of work.
I am not hiding anything. He is light years ahead of where you said he could be.
Really must suck to see the team making progress and not enjoying because you don't like one player. His coach likes him, his teammates like him. He is getting praise around the league. Sorry "you don't like that."
I heard Trent Williams say on several occasions we aren't in the playoffs without Cousins. But I am sure you know more than him too.
As I said clearly we aren't going to see the same thing. Hell you are still looking for an out pass that has been thrown a number of times.
This was the point of my original post. The MVP has turned into the most talented player award. In this definition, I clearly see how Cam could, and probably should, win. This is different that the Most valuable player (to his team's success) award. IF one truly evaluates it, KC deserves mention. Think about how he moved this offense and produced without a running game and without a stout defense. Cam, while clearly talented, had a very productive running game and a very good defense. Do I think KC should win the award? No, I don't. Because he hasn't put together a full season's worth of stellar play. Cam, Wilson, Brady and Palmer have. But I still think that what he did produce with his supporting cast has been remarkable. This doesn't mean I think he will do this year in and year out. We need to see if this is a blip or something he can build on and become a true franchise QB. I honestly can't tell at this point. But to call him a backup level player is laughable and I won't even bother to address it. The poster who believes that clearly has issues with giving KC true credit. One can only speculate why that is.
