Re: Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread
Reading a fantasy football article on espn(degenerate loser, I know) ...couple nice stats about Cousins:
20. From Week 7 on in 2015, Kirk Cousins had four different games with at least four total touchdowns.
21. That's the same number of four-TD games that Aaron Rodgers has had since the start of 2014.
22. There has been one quarterback during the past three seasons to throw for 4,100 yards and rush for five scores. His name is Kirk Cousins.
23. The latest to do it, before Cousins, was Andrew Luck in 2012.
23a. In 2013, Andrew Luck was the fourth-best quarterback in fantasy.
24. ESPN NFL Nation Redskins reporter John Keim's recent blog post about Kirk Cousins and expectations about his air yards per attempt included this nugget: "After the first Dallas game, the Redskins changed their offensive approach. Offensive coordinator Sean McVay knew he needed to stay more aggressive with the passing game."
25. The "first Dallas game" referenced in No. 24 was in Week 13 last season.
25a. Kirk Cousins from Weeks 1-13: 6.55 yards per pass attempt and 27 pass attempts per touchdown toss.
25b. For comparison, Colin Kaepernick had 6.62 yards per pass attempt last season, while Josh McCown averaged 24.3 attempts per touchdown pass.
26. Kirk Cousins (Weeks 14-17): 9.67 yards per pass attempt and 8.57 attempts per touchdown pass.
26a. For comparison, Tom Brady in 2007, when he was the first QB to throw 50 TDs, put up 8.31 yards per attempt and 11.56 attempts per TD pass. And Peyton Manning, when he set the NFL record for passing yards and TDs in 2013, averaged 8.31 yards per attempt and 11.98 attempts per TD pass.
27. The offensive coaching staff and all offensive starters in the passing game return for Washington. Yet, like Tyrod Taylor, Cousins was not selected in our staff's first mock draft.
