I wonder if a Cousins implosion puts the kibosh on high-AAV medium-term fully guaranteed contracts for the time being.

you can blame the play calling a bit too for trying for the touchdown pass, but at the end of the day it's cousins' job not to air ball it into triple coverage for no reason like a loving rookie

That's all on Kissing Cousins imo, it's not the play callers job to literally never call a pass (however awesome that would be) because you're scared your QB will throw a pick. First loving down!! Jesus wept

He panicked badly. The first read was the receiver running along the goal line and I'd he had thrown there Alexander would have had a great chance at a pick 6. The pressure moved him out of the pocket and he tried to make something out of nothing on first down for unknown reasons.

I totally agree. Unfortunately I think at this point they only have a run game until Cousins either pulls his head out of his rear end or he gets more than 1 second of protection. He has to be one of the worst NFL quarterbacks when under pressure right now.

Trubisky ended his playoff debut having completed 26 of 43 passes for 303 yards, one touchdown, and a passer rating of 89.6; the yards and completions set franchise postseason records, while Trubisky became the youngest Bears quarterback to throw a touchdown pass in the playoffs since Doug Flutie in 1986.[74]

On January 21, 2019, he was officially declared a Pro Bowl participant in place of the Super Bowl-bound Jared Goff

Game managers won't win you shot in today's NFL. And drafting a guy #2 and she him as a game manager is sad.

gently caress, some guy named Luke Falk came in tonight and through for 200 yards behind a trash line. Probably had zero reps too. And Hardner Minshew at least looks semi-competent.

Mitch has looked considerably worse than both of them. And the issue isn't a bad read. He just isn't an accurate thrower.

Oh I agree with all of this. But at this stage they try to make the playoffs while praying Mitch improves. If he doesn't then they need to move on. I think the only way they can do that is by FA or a trade since the core will age quicker than any new rookie QB.

And all that said there is reason for hope. Here's four QBs before their age 25 season, try to pick out the Mitch

QB 1: 59.8% comp, 4.3% TD, 2.8% Int, 7.7 YPA, sacked 7.2%
QB 2: 63.5% comp, 4.1% TD, 2.5% Int, 7.1 YPA, sacked 6.7%
QB 3: 60.4% comp, 5.1% TD, 3.5% Int, 7.3 YPA, sacked 3.2%
QB 4: 55.1% comp, 2.9% TD, 5.2% Int, 6.3 YPA, sacked 7.7%

Cam Newton, Trubisky, Peyton Manning, Troy Aikman (ok the last two aren't really fair but this was still fun for me)
