He is one genius self marketer though. Send your kids to Michigan State. Going to make a 100 million+ for putting up numbers against bad teams and/or in the 4th quarter against prevent defenses when losing. |
I read it and the headline didnt really match what the point of the story. The story highlighted that Cousins plays it to safe and doesnt want to take chances and throw picks. That was the criticism here. His number of drop backs vs sacks was extremely low. During his time here he repeatedly talked about how having to low a sack number isnt good bc it means he is not hanging in the pocket taking enough down field chances.
Kirk is a robot. He is overly safe. That is one of his biggest knocks. He didnt want to throw ints ... but does that equal he doesnt want to win? I dont buy that leap in logic. He wants to win but he wants to play it safe, always trying to avoid a negative play.
