They say they don't know what the plan for him is but he seems like a pretty darn core piece from where I sit. If I’m a New York sports fan I would be a mean crotchety Arm chair GM that is convinced I know better at everything! (J/k... or am I?) I don’t disagree but if you have a concern about his long term health vs a top dollar extension. I would entertain offers. I think he’s a fringe top 10 TE type, I strong asset but not irreplaceable.

Last month of games the teams he beat were combined 8-19-1. Yes, he's had a nice run against them but the love fest for him should be withheld for a few more games. It sounds wacky after the media hysteria earlier in the year. But his numbers are comparable to Mahomes in 2018. https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1187700975651426304 And he's been playing like Aaron Rodgers the last few weeks, threading balls into teeny tiny windows. Whether he keeps it up is doubtful, but it's been amazing to watch. Watch below. High difficulty throws. https://gfycat.com/sandywellinformedbedlingtonterrier Quote https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2019/10/23/20927924/kirk-cousins-minnesota-vikings-offensive-turnaround He leads the NFL in yards per pass attempt (9.1) and passer rating (114.3), ranks fifth in touchdown passes (13) and fourth in completion rate (69.8 percent), is Pro Football Focus’s fourth-highest-graded passer this year (83.9), and has completed passes at 7 percent above expectation, which ranks third per NFL Next Gen Stats. Cousins’s 135.4 passer rating on deep throws (passes of 20-plus yards) ranks second, per PFF; his 92.8 passer rating under pressure is fourth best among qualifiers; his 126.8 passer rating when kept clean ranks second; and his 140.2 passer rating on play-action ranks first. He’s absolutely balling out. As tight end Kyle Rudolph told Sports Illustrated, the biggest thing that changed between the first four weeks and the past three was how the offense was built around Cousins’s strengths. Cousins has been the “same guy,” all along, said Rudolph, “but we’re actually putting him in more favorable situations. Getting him confidence early with things he’s comfortable with and very good at—play-action, boots, quick throws. Early on, our first two wins, we just ran the ball all game, never let him get in a rhythm as well.” Edited October 26, 2019 by Howler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a couple of hits on him early and he get's rattled. Not good on the road or in big games. (maybe that's just a Viqueens thing ha ha ha) Just a few weeks ago he was getting roasted. We'll see did have a few nice games lately he'll have to have a lot more to be in the MVP discussion. I am not sold of Cousins just yet. We'll see where he's is at the end of the season. Hell of a good guy tho. Can't really say I am pulling for him after all he's a Viking. Edited October 26, 2019 by Scoremore 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 Ian Rapoport - Bears coach Matt Nagy told players this week it’s “horse expletive” to run it 7 times. He took ownership & will run it more today, listening to his O-linemen in the process… but they need to deliver, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 Ian Rapoport: The Texans may have lost star DE JJ Watt to a serious injury. Source said the fear is that Watt suffered a torn pec, which would knock him out for the season. He’ll have an MRI to determine the full extent of the issue.

That's combined right? It's because OBJ has 1 TD, you can put any list with any random 2 players in the league almost. Jason Witten has 2 TD's this year, yes that Jason Witten. Keelan Cole has 2 td's on 4 catches. David Quessenberry (OL) and Kevin Byard (DB) combined are tied with OBJ for Rec TD's among players who have caught a pass on Offense this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 JJ Watt: This game can be beautiful and it can also be brutal. Absolutely gutted that I won’t be able to finish the season with my guys and give the fans what they deserve. I truly love this game and can’t stand letting you guys down. Thank you for all of the thoughts & well-wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
