Re: Kirk Cousins pick 4.7
He seems like a selfless guy who is willing to wait. Hence, I see no problems.

Re: Kirk Cousins pick 4.7
I saw some of the ESPN guys hating on this pick. Did any of them see John Beck play? Or see Grossman throw passes a rookie would make? We needed to upgrade the position and I'm glad we got a guy that played big time college ball at a high level. Doesn't have the physical skills that RG3 does but he knows how to play QB. Cousins should fit in real well with the Shanahan's offense. I like this pick a lot.

Either way it'll be nice not having Doug Johnson or Curtis Painter starting if God forbid RG3 goes down. We have nothing to gain anymore from loosing seasons at least for the next two years. I really think that this can turn into a second or third round pick maybe even a first in two or three years.

Re: Kirk Cousins pick 4.7
Luckily RG3 and Cousins are extremely mature so it won't be much of an issue but it really is amazing the reaction we got. You almost wanted to ask "who died" when you saw the faces of the media pundits.

I think it signals Rex' days are numbered. Obviously the team went BPA w/ this pick, which I can appreciate.

Re: Kirk Cousins pick 4.7
In and of itself I'm not at all surprised they took Cousins. After the Senior Bowl, we talked about how much they loved him. And remember when I had said the two most likely scenarios were Peyton/Cousins or RG3/Grossman.
That it'd be RG3/Rex AND Cousins (after moving picks to get RG3) is stunning...but I love it

Re: Kirk Cousins pick 4.7
Notes:
Son of a minister. Also played baseball (pitcher) and basketball as a Michigan prep. Suffered a broken ankle as a high school junior. Redshirted in 2007. Appeared in five games in 08 as Brian Hoyers backup, completing 32-of-43 pass attempts (62 percent) for 310 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Started 12-of-13 games in 09 and passed 198-328-2,680-19-9 (60.4). Did not start against Illinois (right ankle). Made all 13 starts in 10, totaling 226-338-2,825-20-10 (66.9) despite battling a sprained left ankle and sprained left (non-throwing) shoulder beginning in mid-October. Set the school record for single-season TD passes in 11 after throwing for 267-419-3,316-25-10 (63.7) in 14 starts. A three-time captain, Cousins was only the second sophomore captain in school history. Leaves as MSUs career record holder in TD passes (66), passing yards (9,131) and passing efficiency (146.1 rating). Produced a 27-12 record in 39 career starts, finishing as the winningest quarterback in Spartan history. Graduated in December with a kinesiology degree. Positives: Rare intangibles and leadership ability. Can rally a huddle and inspire a locker room when the chips are down. Outstanding work habits. Can line up and direct an offense knows the responsibility of every player on the field. Very professional approach takes pride in his craft, pays attention to small details and is meticulous in his preparation. Film junkie. Clean footwork experienced in a pro-style offense working under center and from the shotgun. Quick to set and throw. Good release quickness showed improvement as the season progressed and did not take a sack in the last five games. Sells play-action and can identify matchups and find open receivers. Effective on bootlegs and rollouts. Tough and gritty. Stands in the face of the rush and delivers. Very accurate short-to-intermediate touch passer good timing, touch and placement. Produced 3-0 career record vs. archrival Michigan and rose to the occasion on big stages. Negatives: Has a narrow frame susceptible to taking a pounding. Can be too cerebral and mechanical with his reads. Has displayed a tendency to overthink the game, resulting in holding the ball too long. Average ball velocity ball will flutter and appear to die outside the numbers if he cannot step into it. Lacks ideal arm talent to rip it deep. Not a scrambler and cannot improvise or create many plays when the pocket moves. Many throws are simple and predetermined. Summary: Has the intangibles and intelligence to develop into a highly efficient, dink-and-dunk, rhythm passer. Resemblance to 49ers QB Alex Smith and must continue developing physically to survive the toll of an NFL season. Could thrive with crisp coaching and confidence-building play-calling in a precision passing game such as that of the Texans, Redskins, Patriots or 49ers.

Re: Kirk Cousins pick 4.7
My friend (a Ravens fan) texted me cuz I'm at work saying, "You guys have 5 QBs on the roster now! Wtf?" So I had to come check it out. But seeing who we picked up and that we let Beck go, I'm actually happy with this move. And my friend is an idiot. :/

Re: Kirk Cousins pick 4.7
Our only pick, minus RG3, who makes the team.
Could be our new Gus. |
