Kirk Cousins is good

Also advanced analytics have mostly made coaches go for it on 4th down more often and throw the ball more instead of never ever ever as opposed to baseball where it's turned the game into an unwatchable slog.

There is a lot more to it than this. It's not the advanced analytics so much as the strategy teams have started employing with relief pitchers, and as it turns out you don't and won't ever have to pay those guys real money. You can just burn them out before free agency and let them go like a running back and then the next dude throwing high 90s takes his place

The thing with Cousins is the Vikings are really poorly coached. They should win so much more than they do and that's an indictment on Zimmer more than Cousins IMO.

Zimmer is supposed to be a defensive coach and the Vikings are 9th worst in points allowed, 9th in most points allowed per game, 3rd in most yards allowed per game. What the hell were they even doing in that last drive against the Lions yesterday?

Pass rushers should be covered by a stat that measures newtons of force applied to the quarterback.

Who cares if you bearhug and gently lay the Quarterback down vs a screaming linebacker hitting Roethlisberger so hard all you hear is the extremely beefy slap followed by an agonized groan.

Ben groans getting up from sitting
