I think it has to do with longevity. Just like when it comes to determining FQB's. How many consecutive years has Cousins put up those types of numbers? Does he have the potential? Yes. Has he lived up to that potential?
7 years
He certainly fits the criteria for elite passer to me. I think the only reason he doesn't get the recognition is because his teams don't typically win the division, conference and do not consistently make the playoffs and when they do they are one and done.
Cousins is a good QB, but definitely not elite. He doesn't have the arm the elite guys have, or the quick processing ability / accuracy like Brady and Peyton had.
That would make his stats even more impressive then. Because his stats are right up there with the rest of those guys but lacks the elite physical traits and lacks the elite mental traits. Wow!
Would he have taken us further than Jimmy? He was obviously able to stay healthier….
Cousins has also been able to put up better stats over the past several years bc that defense has been bad. He's just getting more opportunities to throw, and to his credit, he's been playing very well.
I still wouldn't put him in that elite category. Obviously better than Jimmy though. That's never been an actual debate anywhere else in the world of football, except for the few Jimmy homers on here.
This past season, Cousins only threw for the 3rd most highest passing attempts of his career. So I am not sure where you're getting at with better stats because the Vikings defense has been bad. He had over 600 attempts in 2018 and 2016. He also has the longest active streak of 25+ TD's per season with 7. The guy does belong in the conversation and possibly without a doubt if he were playing for Shanahan, Peyton or Arians.
I think Cousins would definitely do better than what he has shown, unfortunately we don't know what that is because he hasn't been our qb.
Coaching and scheme has a lot to do with how successful a player can become. While it doesn't make it fact, we can still speculate and discuss such things. Especially in April when there really isn't much else to discuss.

And my God, Cousins on the same level as Brady as an elite QB?
Poor baby. I didn't mean to get your pink panties in a bunch. Again, its April. What else is there to discuss about Trey that hasn't been repeated over and over and over again?
