Homecoming / Houston Thread

I think in this day and age everyone is so QB focused it’s easy to forget there are other formulas for success that don’t revolve around having a stud QB.

Yeah CR it’s funny how winning with D and the running game is somehow a bad thing.

Please. It is undisputed that the QB is the most critical position in all of sports. Ours sucks and cannot throw a ball over 10yds.

I don't think he has a lot of opportunities to throw it deep right now. PR was our only deep threat.

He was injured near the beginning of the season and played injured until he was shut down.

Nobody else on the roster can take the top off and the defenses adjust and play the intermediate routes more aggressively.

VD is the closest thing we have to a deep threat and he really isn't.

The rest of the receivers can't create separation with speed.

He isn't throwing it deep, but that doesn't mean he can't.

So how come Cousins could run high octane with a desimated line, Jordan Reed injured most of the year, Chris Thompson injured most of the year, Doctson out all year, no running game, and a horrible defense that put all the load on the offense???

Smith has been handed a mostly healthy line, healthy Jordan Reed, healthy Doctson, and excellent ground game, stout defense, and still can’t produce??

This is fake news. He has 2 OL starters, Doctson missed a few games, and he is missing the best receivers on the team. (Crowder and Prich)

All that high octane then the dragster engine would explode right before the finish line and go sideways. For all his pretty stats Kirk was 26-30-1 as a starter here. He seemed to make his bonehead plays and bad throws at the worst possible time. He is 5-3-1 with a Minnesota team that is equal to or better talent wise than our Redskins. Three times this year he has thrown for over 350 yards and in those games he is 0-3. I will take 200 yards, no turnovers and a "W" over that anytime.

Cool straw man.

The link shows how it really was last year though.

You can say whatever you want, but it’s a fact that Cousins operates the offense at a much higher level than Smith with much less than Smith has now.

Chris Thompson went out week 11.

http://www.nfl.com/player/kirkcousins/2532820/profile

Kirk had 18 total turnovers last year. 13 int and 5 fumbles to 27 td passes.

I liked Kirk, he would sling it. But without the receivers creating separation, it is going to put the ball in jeopardy.

Alex is much more careful with the ball.

So again, it's not that he can't throw deep.

Has Smith thrown and connected on a single deep ball all year?
