I remember watching Cousins play during his rookie year in 2012 and he looked REALLY good. Poised, good arm, accurate.
Then in 2013, he didn't look nearly as good, but the team and coaching staff were blowing up, with Shanahan leaving and the RG111 controversies. Under the circumstances, it would be hard to see any second year qb succeeding in that environment.
Then last year, his stats were pretty good again in another awful situation, with only a 10 td - 9 int stat marring a decent set of numbers.
In 6 games, he completed 62% of his passes for an average of 285 yds per game.
Now, I hesitate to ask about qbs because more often than not the threads get ruined by people with an axe to grind from previous encounters, plus any qb that's available will have a group of guys that say he sucks, but we have to do something, so it means that whoever we get, a group of guys are going to have doubts.
So, we have to take a chance.
I liked a lot of what I saw from Kirk Cousins when he was playing on a decent team and it's hard for me to say he sucks because of the rotten situation in Washington the last two years.
So, if we signed him, I'd be happy to go that route.
But, I admit I haven't studied the group of qbs that are available as extensively as one would do if one was Doug Whaley, but from what I've seen, Cousins looks like the best bet out of a weak field.
