I was watching the TNF game last night and Jefferson looks better than Jeudy, but is that because he has a more competent QB delivering the ball to him. It kind of makes you think, would Cousins be such a bad option if we lose out in getting Wilson? All the pieces are here for a QB like Cousins to thrive.

The Kubiak to Denver is a drum I've been pounding for a while. OC/ASST HC, so it's not a lateral move. What a huge difference he'd make to this team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Cousins is playing the best football of his career under him. it be interesting to see how this final string of games plays out because Paton came from Minnesota is probably very familiar with Clint. I think Clint really helps the Margin of error on Qbs. Most Qbs would play their best ball under Clint. Maybe minimizes the need to give up a ton of assets. I don't know what you'd do defensively though. probably not landing someone as good as Vic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a surprise that Cousins is having his best season - Shanahan drafted him specifically because he had the traits to run the Shanahan/Kubiak offence. And I would be onboard with bringing in Klint Kubiak (and Cousins if we lose out on Rodgers/Wilson) - unlike the Broncos - the problems with the Viking do not stem from poor offensive play-calling or poor QB play. In fact I think Kubiak and Cousins would thrive with the offensive weapons we have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) I'm happy for DET fans and players / coaches that they won last week - this week seems like a tall order: The Lions are 9-4 ATS even though they're 1-10-1, so they're clearly a team that plays its heart out, and game management issues aside (not a surprise when your OC is Anthony Lynn - HC Dan Quinn (EDIT: Campbell, oops) took over play calling 3 weeks ago, and the extra duties unfortunately haven't led to improvements in game management - but they were feeding Swift & Hockenson way more), they've been well-coached all year long. They're missing their 2 top pass rushers, lost more DB's and their starting LB, and don't have their 3 top weapons (and were already down their starting C with Covid this week). Every team has to fight through injuries, but when it's a talent-poor team like the Lions, man it's hard to see how they can keep it close. Still, any given Sunday....

Love Campbell as a HC even if no player has actually bitten anyone’s kneecaps yet. He made the correct call to take play calling away from OC Lynn. Just a little overwhelmed with all the duties, which has led to some questionable game management decisions the last 2-3 games. Otherwise he’s done everything he can to get that team ready to play. Hope he gets 3+ years to see the rebuild through - with a different OC next year. To add to the talent gap we get guys back - Callahan can’t stay healthy but he’s been good in the slot when he does.

Cutler06 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Went to the Avs vs. Red Wings game last night, we kicked some DET behind on the ice. Seems like it won't be a good week for DET fans vs DEN fans, sad for their fanbase, not a good time to be DET fan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they seem to be trying hard and overachieving. That’s a good sign. Touch of class by DEN re: DT. Nice move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
