When any of those break down however, so does he...quickly.

Ask him to perform at a high level over a period of time and you will be disappointed. He is too careless with the ball, too pre-determined with where the ball will go and doesn't rally from adversity well.

If he starts all 16 games, he will probably put up good numbers on paper.. 3200 or so yards, 5 or 6 300 yard games, probably 18-24 TD with 14-18 INT.. The reality however will probably result in a 3-5 win season and fans hoping 'that he can put it all together with a full offseason of being the starter'.

Ultimately Cousins is fools gold.

We all "hope" we are wrong, but I agree.

"I'm past the whole RGIII in dc working idea. However, I am also done with Gruden. He doesn't seem like he has any clue and frankly a guy who is stubborn about his system and doesn't adjust to his players strengths is not a good coach IMO. That is the origins of "coaching."

When personnel extraordinaire shanarat criticizes you for not adjusting to your players' strengths...well...you aren't that good."

You are 100% right. The system should be adapted for your players strengths. If you are failing to do that then you are not a good coach. Its like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. The coach is being stubborn to a point of hurting everyone.
