Re: Why did Kirk Cousins not play like Tom Brady?

I personally have not seen anyone say they were just happy with making the playoffs and not the SB. That's what every single fan wants on here. It's just when you live in the negative, it's hard to ever see the positive. Nobody said getting to the playoffs was good enough. But last I checked you ha...

Re: Why did Kirk Cousins not play like Tom Brady?

No, it's not 20.8. 26 losing games. 5 returns for fumbles/interception. (assuming that number is correct) So at most 35 points. 35 divided by 26 equals 1.3. So at most 1.3 ppg. So, 24.5 ppg. But your number isn't correct, Cousins has 19 Int/Fum returned for TD in his career. So let's say 133 points...

Re: Why did Kirk Cousins not play like Tom Brady?

Teams below .500 he beat. The average score of the other teams. 17.1 Average score of the teams he lost too. 25.8. Ok, but there you have to factor in the 5 TDs returned via fumble or interceptions (all coming in losses I believe), which spread over 7 games accounts for 5 ppg. Now you are looking a...

Re: Who had the best draft class of 2019 in the NFC North?

You can sit there and discuss QB's and offense's all day long. And yes, they can and do make a difference in the game. But it is a team game. Period. Historically it goes like this. PPG given up. Chance of winning. 19 or less. 85% 20 to 24. 60% 25 or more. 25% Now, I have run these numbers on both Q...

Re: Who had the best draft class of 2019 in the NFC North?

We should be better this year than last. I still worry we didn't do enough to improve the line and are hoping guys have a bounce back year or do well at a new position at guard (sound familiar). Dennison is at best a push at Oline coach, Kubiak and Stefanski should call plays more in line with what...

Re: Why did Kirk Cousins not play like Tom Brady?

I was just working on some Numbers for Rodgers. Career. 32-40-1 against teams that ended the season with a winning record. 11 of those have been on the road. The rest at home. 68-20 against teams with a record of .500 or lower. 3 wins on the road in the last 6 years against teams with winning recor...

Re: Why did Kirk Cousins not play like Tom Brady?

Even Tom Bradys isn't the Tom Brady everyone thinks he is. Neither is Aaron Rodgers. Amen to the Rodgers part. Was just talking thru PM with another member here about how sick and tired we both are of the Pukers being hailed just because of the Almighty Erin. Yes the guy is talented but he's not th...

Re: Who had the best draft class of 2019 in the NFC North?

I wonder if we could put the past behind us for a moment and try a conversation that goes toward interesting analysis. Here's my question for all: Are you hopeful that Kirk Cousins will play better this year than he did last year? If so, what changes made in personnel or scheme do you anticipate be...

Re: Who had the best draft class of 2019 in the NFC North?

If you want to make the sample larger, he has the 6th most in the NFL since 2015 when he took over as a full time starter. Big Ben has the most, so it isn't as if you can't throw a lot of picks or fumble the ball away a ton and still not be a winning QB, but Big Ben has been able to get away with i...

Re: Who had the best draft class of 2019 in the NFC North?

Yeah I thought it would be pretty much impossible to support he sucked badly. However, I don't even agree with sucking or playing average. I think he played quite well considering he had the pass rusher in his face about the second he received the snap on half the plays. IMO the stats do mean somet...

Re: Who had the best draft class of 2019 in the NFC North?

Based on your standards, the following QB's should have been dumped.. Because they turned the ball over like a rookie. Whatever the hell that means. Favre should have been dumped in year 7 or 8 because he turned the ball over like a rookie, 46 interceptions and 17 fumbles those two years. Peyton Ma...

Re: Who had the best draft class of 2019 in the NFC North?

Let's do this instead. Turnovers by QB in 2018. Interceptions and fumbles. Not Fumbles given up, just fumbles. 8 QB had more Fumbles than Cousins, he just lost the most. That is mostly just bad luck, nothing else. BTW, how many rookies on the list? Case Keenum 26 Jared Goff 24 Josh Rosen 24 Ben Roe...
