I just don’t know how they would go about fixing the OL if they took on Cousins contract. 

That’s why I say a swap of 1st round picks would be crucial. We wouldn’t have much left in FA. Although if you trade for Cousins you’d most likely be extending him. I’m sure they’d backload the contract.

I don't think there's any planning whatsoever other than desperately seeking to get lucky while overspending for veteran QBs the rest of the league is moving on from.

Lol, yeah totally. All of Cousins teammates everywhere he’s ever been hate his guts. Where are you even getting this from? Bullshit put out by Minnesota so they don’t have to give him a big money extension?

Jesus Christ does your google not work.  Folks in washington hated him and folks in Minny (including the god damn coaches) hate him

Stafford is a better QB than Cousins. 

Cousins gets the volume stats that look pretty on paper, but as far as playing the position, he is Teddy Bridgewater in his final form. 

People were clowning on Stafford for his pick in the endzone during the super bowl. Situationally though, it was the right call. They were out of FG range, it was 3rd and long, and he had a guy in the end zone. It became an arm punt and the Bengals got a touchback. The risk reward was worth it to attempt the shot. Good QBs have that situational awareness to know when to take those risks.

Cousins does NOT have that situational awareness. If it's 4th and 10 and the team is down a score late in the fourth, Cousins will hit his open safety outlet to gain 7 yards when he instead has a one on one matchup 20 yards down the sidelines. Is it technically the "right" throw because it's safe and he's open? Yes. It pads the stats and makes him look efficient. But is it really the right throw if it doesn't actually result in the team getting closer to win?

There's a reason that Stafford has the most Comeback wins in the NFL since he became a starter. Dude has ice in his veins and he is willing to take the risk it for the biscuit throws because he's not a wuss.

66%, 4200 yards, 33 TDs, 7 INTs. Show me 1 Carolina QB who’s EVER put up a season like that. I’ll wait.

One played in the Void of success that is Detroit for 12 years.

Kirk Cousins is a true stat pader. Matt Stafford is a baller. 

Would Cousins instantly improve our QB situation? Of course he would. 

Would he get us over the hump and into the post season? Most likely no. He's incredibly expensive and the cost to trade for him is most likely not worth what the end result would be. He does not elevate the team around him so he is not worth it. 

Stay away from Qirk Qousins.

I've generally put Stafford and Cousins in the same tier of QB.

Stafford has elevated himself. Don't know if Cousins will but if we get him, I hope so.

Stafford finally got a good coach with a well built team.  He's always been a good qb, just on a bad team.

Had he came here he would still be a good qb but on another bad team with bad coaches.

I'm done hoping for Tepper's poo show. I'm just hoping at this point that Howell finds a nice landing spot in the draft. Tepper took a mediocre franchise that occasionally flirted with greatness and turned it into the joke of the league with stunning efficiency. This poo is over folks.

Yep.

Rhule is an awful head coach and all that but firing Rhule doesn’t solve this organizations biggest problem…

David Tepper

We’re honestly so f*cked

      Unc Basketball thread

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By Davidson Deac II · Posted

      His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
