Get rid of Cousins as soon as it is economically feasible. His incessant propensity for check down passes make his stats look good at the expense of our chance to win. That’s the way he is wired and he won’t change.
-“The Vikings’ offense is 19th in third down conversion rate, yet Cousins has a 113.8 QB rating on third downs. Maybe we’re onto something here. On third-and-10 or more, Cousins has completed 36 of 44 passes and has a 123.5 QB rating but has only 13 first downs.”-
So, on 64% of his completed passes on 3rd-and-10 or more, he was throwing well short of the sticks. Who knows how many of the remaining 36% were also dump offs, but the receiver prevailed. Is there an average depth of target stat available for this situation (3rd-and-10 or more).
It sounds like the old joke on the construction site when trying to jockey a tight fitting beam into place. As it slid into place on one end, the guy on that end would yell, “I got mine” and act like he would do nothing to help the guy/s on the other end get the much more difficult part in place.
“I got my stats. Too bad you guys didn’t get a first down.”
