I have rarely seen a QB do more with less. Kubiak has made it clear that he is the guy this year but his play has really defied conventional wisdom. The run blocking is as putrid as it was last season. The pass blocking has been getting compliments but how much as that has to do with Cousins's pocket presence and pre snap reads?

I am not sure the subject deserves its own thread but I think what he has accomplished this season cannot be overstated and he has essentially put the offense on his back. I don't think anyone saw this coming.

Thoughts?...

Kubiak deserves major credit as well. He turned Sam Darnold into a superbowl winning QB. The combo of the two is really good

Absolutely.

Imagine what he is going to do for Mendoza.

fernando give our qb position a whole new look (mobile) and his arm is twice that od kirk

Trade him to the Ravens for whatever you can get.

Start Mendoza.

I don’t believe we will ever do a deal with Baltimore again

What if it benefits the team

I think Kirk Cousins is setting a high bar for Mendoza. He lacks mobility, but he makes good decisions most of the time.

The ravens need to trade for a QB?

Ok-by no means stirring the pot or even advocating this but hypothetically speaking what about a package deal sending Crosby and Cousins to the Ravens or Eagles? I would be against this but it makes for an interesting discussion.

I doubt it the Eagles are imploding and Sirani likely won't be the coach next year.

The Ravens? F them and send the horse they road in on to the glue factory.

Even if the Raiders come out with a good deal?

For sure. If the price is right and it helps the team who cares about past deals? Don't Shoot yourself in the foot because of past dealings

I’d be more inclined to offer them AOC personally
