Actually, it's 133. 6 TDs 2 picks. 64.7 comp % 93.6 rate. And, he can win the big one (in college at least).

Id go hot and heavy after this guy. Bring him, Hotrod, and another drafted QB in for an off/pre season smack down. Best QB plays. Nasty Nate can come to camp too as a camp arm.

I see your point and agree its valid. In 2017 he had 3 such opportunities. Against Bungles as you have pointed out, he layed an egg. Against Bucs we were down 7 with 3 and change to go and won by 3. Against Panthers he did hit Jones in the hands on 4th down. I guess we have to count the playoff game as well. (Those pesky playoff games ) so on 4 opportunities he laid an egg twice. Would have been nice to get a little help on the other loss. That's 25%. What do other QBs do? I couldn't find any stats. The all time leaders are in the 50-55% range. A valid gripe, but a little overblown IMHO.

I want to improve QB play for next year no matter what it takes. How exactly is it ironic? Has Hotrod ever said after a loss that he was OK with it because he played well?

Trying to improve is one thing. Saying you're OK after a loss because you played well is a different thing. If I'm paying a guy highest QB in the league money, I expect to him to elevate his game when needed to win. His attitude suggests otherwise IMHO. QBs job is to win regardless of his "process". At the money he'll be hauling in, he needs to make plays to win us games. High passing yards ain't alone like he did at his last gig ain't gonna cut it.

Does he say he doesn't?

Straight from the horse's mouth is my Cousins concern. He's a good fundamentally sound QB, but he's not a winner. We lost, but I did good, so I'm good.

Sounds like the Nike designed suits are a bust in the bigs. Any word on if Tampa Bay or Seattle are planning to change too? Those 2 are really bad also.

Is that a bad thing?

1/2 of Hotrod's picks this year bounced off of Clay's hands. the OLine didn't have any better luck protecting Nasty Nate than they did Hotrod. Shady's ypc was down 1.4 from 2016. Blocking (or lack thereof) played a big role in this. Dumping Hotrod fixes all this though.

I know a team that needs a QB. AND he passes the anyone but Tyrod test.

Whatever QB we go with next year, the new staff had better seriously upgrade at WR and OLine to give the QB a better chance to win. Or expect more offensive problems.

Shirley, you can't be serious. The others, yeah. Good luck.

You can keep saying that all you want, that I'm afraid to upgrade the QB position. Last 2 times we got to 9-7 we immediately dumped our QB (or he dumped us) and we went back in the tank. No thanks. I'm 100% for UPGRADING the QB position. But it's gotta be an upgrade. Somebody we can win with that's not gonna be a science experiment that takes 3 years of losing to complete. Cousins would be an upgrade I guess. I could go with McCarron due to his play in 2015 and college career. I don't see any rookie stepping and winning this year with the possible exception of maybe Mayfield. Certainly not Darnold or Allen or Jackson or Rudolph. Heck to the No for Bradford or McClown or Fitz or Bridgewater. I know yall love to say you don't hit the ones you don't swing at. True. But sometimes the one you don't swing at gets you to first. You steal second. A ground out sends you to third, and a deep fly ball gets you home. Pitchers and catchers report today made me think of that. I'm digging this winning thing. Keep the train rolling. And yes, I do want to win a Super Bowl.

These current shot callers QB shots called have included keeping Hotrod, drafting Nasty Nate, trading away the pick we could have used to take Mahomes or Watson, and signing TJ Yates and Joe Webb III. I'm hoping they can pick up their game.

The Clowns seem to really have the hots for this guy. What do they know that we don't?

Perhaps We should get some "weapons". Then Hotrod depending on them won't be a problem, because we have said " weapons". Its a lot easier to find "weapons" than it is finding a QB as you describe. One of the reasons the Rams and Eagles were better this year was because they got their QBs weapons.

Have fun losing in the eternal quest for the next Peyton Manning.

QB is the most important position and the last place to look to save money IMHO. I have ZERO desire in stepping back at the position on a wing and a prayer that a rookie might be really good in 3 years. During the drought this might have made sense. No more IMHO. We'll see. We'll know a lot more a week from Friday.

I see your point. You have your opinion which may be right or not. I also want better QB play. We have suffered through much worse and little if any better over the last 18 years. I believe choosing to keep Hotrod or dump him and go for a "franchise QB" is a false choice. We can do both.

Do you really want to draft Mayfield and jinx him like that? Signing Ftiz as your backup pretty much insures your first stringer going down. I don't know how he does it. Todd Collins went years in between snaps as a backup.

QBs are much harder to find than "better toys". If he can perform with "better toys", why don't we just get some "better toys"? QB problem solved. We're gonna need "better toys", no matter who the QB is btw.

I couldn't resist.

I heard that a similar thing happened at OBD today. Hotrod was there working with a few WRs. They noticed an unknown white powder. Authorities were called in. After investigation it was determined to not be a threat after all. The unknown white powder was determined to be ... the goal line.

20 other teams in the NFL that have a longer drought than us wish they were as mediocre as us
