Never understood why Kirk Cousins was never considered a franchise QB. Clearly he can play 

Because he's basically a .500 QB with one double digit win season. Four total playoff games with a 1-3 record in them. He's basically a high level game manager. He'll get you what you are. Put a good team around him and you'll be good. Put a bad team around him and you'll be bad. Put a mediocre team around him and you'll be mediocre. He doesn't lift the team above the expectations of what the rest of the team minus him would lead you to expect out of that team.

Previous teammates have basically flat out said he's a stat padder. He's more interested in how his stat line turns out than trying to make the plays that will win the game. Which is pretty much exactly how his career has played out. With his stats you'd expect his team's to have a much better W-L record.

Kirk cousins is very delhomme like. Eventually those ducks he throws up will get picked. 

He's kinda the anti-Delhomme. Jake's stat lines usually didn't look great, but the guy made the winning plays when the chips were down. Cousins' stat line often looks great and then he folds like a cheap suit when it matters most.

Good point, Diggs wanted out for a reason. Thielen was bitching about it too around the same time.

People seen to have selective memory about Jake.

He made a lot of incredible perfect throws.

 

He threw a fade that went straight up and straight down making it very very hard to intercept. 

Also had one of the prettiest back shoulder balls I've ever seen.

He had velocity placement and guts

Remember when Dak Prescott got hella pissed when Amari Cooper called him the "black Kirk Cousins"? The guy has a reputation in the league. Maybe it's fair, maybe it's not. Maybe he'll change it with some better team success. But he has a reputation.

I've seen his jesus van, that's all I really know about him besides Diggs and Thielen bitching about him not taking shots early in the season a few years ago

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
