Yes, Cousins is a large part of that. 

 

He plays QB very very well. That's the part that he plays. And that's a good thing, a very good thing indeed.

 

66% completions with a freaking 8.1 YPA. That's terrific. 19 TDs and 6 INTs. A QB Rating of 101.1.

 

PPG is simply not a good way to rate QBs. Teams with maybe 70 - 80% a reflection of the offense, yes. QBs, no. Their run game is awful, averaging 3.9 YPC. That's not on Cousins. Their pass game DVOA is 27% better than the average and the rush game is 13% worse. So when the offense comes out only 5% better, it isn't rocket science to know that is not on Cousins.

 

Teams scheme to stop Cousins. They scheme to make Tyrod play quarterback. That's the difference.

 

 

 

And again, winning is simply NOT a QB stat. It just isn't. It's a team stat. Until you get that, you're missing the point. Even the name of that stat is actually "TEAM record in games started by this QB (Regular Season)." 

 

 

Except the most important person on the offense by far is the QB...and again. There is a reason why Kirk Cousins and Phillip Rivers don't win many football games.  They don't make plays when it counts.

 

Thats all great.  The Bills are averaging 4.0 yards per carry this year.  So what?

 

Once again...go ask any Redskins fan what they think about Cousins and you'll be surprised what you hear most likely.  They feel the same about Cousins as we do about Tyrod...he is gonna get you to 7-9 to 9-7 and that's about it.

I'll be the voice in the wilderness here and say mccarron.  He won't be super expensive, and I think he has a lot of untapped skill.  He also has fire in the belly, which we havent seen in a Bills QB in a loooooong time
