500 yards 4 Tds 

Amazes me anyone would say he's not clutch. 30.4% GWD conversion is lower level clutch like Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers. Andy Dalton is 26.4%.

Baker Mayfield is 17.5% and Sam Darnold is 12.5%. Bryce Young is 11.1%.

People need to realize QB must be 60% clutch and 40% game manager in an NFL game.

A couple of my QB targets are Cooper Rush at 75.0% and Desmond Ridder at 35.7%. Desmond Ridder had crazy clutch ratios like Tom Brady in their college careers. Ridder needs a coach like Canales.

SB dynasty QBs are around 40% & clutch playoff QBs who make it to championship games are around 30% as a gauge.

When you run this across the 64 championship QBs over the past 35 seasons you'll see the same result with a 3% to 5% swing from the start to finish of their career. This goes for the undervalued championship QBs like Case Keenum and Erik Kramer too. QBs come prepared from college knowing how to be a clutch performer. It's only the game management and system they need to be coached up on in the NFL.

At least the Falcons are putting up a fight for the right to get bounced from the playoffs.

The Panthers are not in a good place but neither of those teams are the Pats in their prime. The NFC south is completely beatable if we were not a dumpsterfire. This team could turn it around in 2 years if they could hit on draft picks and coach up the guys they have.

Kirk Cousins has always had a knack for what can perceivably be vaguely other worldly regular season performances. Then he folds like a lawn chair in the playoffs.

Impressive game no doubt. All the same fug him and his team. Same goes for the Bucs and Baker. Both these teams are absolutely beatable and there is no reason for our team to continue to be a doormat in this division.

This franchise needs to get back to winning so badly. You've got some fans in here talking up Cousins like you'd almost forget he plays for a bitter divisional rival. I know some of ya'll wear other teams jerseys and whatnot but cmon if you wanna simp take it to the Falcons boards.

Simping for Kirk Cousins is hilariously pathetic. I mean not as bad as simping for Sam Darnold, but still pathetic.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
