Although they do need a good QB, I don't think Cousins is as bad as people make him out to be. He has a lack of pocket presence and needs a much better O-Line. He isn't a QB that can strive without the pieces around him, particularly the O-Line. He came in to be a manager so they could hand the ball off to Cook. Sadly, that's known throughout the league, so they attack Cook and force Cousins to throw, without the O-Line to protect. Additionally, the defense fell to pieces this year. We scored more points this year than the year we made it to the NFC Championship game, but our defense could not make stops consistently.
