Kirk Cousins has been a polarizing figure in the NFL since he entered the league in 2012. While he has shown flashes of brilliance at times, he has also been criticized for his inconsistency and lack of clutch performances in big moments. Now, it seems that the Atlanta Falcons may be joining the chorus of those who doubt Cousins’ ability to lead a team to success as a starting quarterback.
The Falcons made waves in the offseason when they traded for Cousins, giving up a significant amount of draft capital to acquire the veteran signal-caller. Many believed that Cousins could be the missing piece that would help the Falcons turn their fortunes around and make a deep playoff run. However, as the season has progressed, it has become increasingly clear that Cousins may not be the answer the Falcons were looking for.
One of the main concerns surrounding Cousins is his inability to consistently perform at a high level under pressure. In crucial moments, Cousins has often come up short, making costly mistakes that have cost his team games. This lack of composure in key situations has raised doubts about whether Cousins has what it takes to lead a team to victory when it matters most.
Additionally, Cousins’ lack of mobility has also been cited as a major drawback by his critics. In today’s NFL, where dual-threat quarterbacks are becoming increasingly common, Cousins’ limited ability to extend plays and make things happen with his legs has put him at a disadvantage compared to other quarterbacks in the league.
Furthermore, Cousins’ hefty contract has also come under scrutiny, with many questioning whether he is worth the investment the Falcons made in acquiring him. With a salary cap hit that ranks among the highest in the league, Cousins’ performance on the field has not justified the financial commitment the Falcons made to bring him in.
As the Falcons continue to struggle and fall further out of playoff contention, it is becoming increasingly clear that Cousins may not be the long-term solution at quarterback that the team had hoped for. While he may have his moments of brilliance, it seems that Cousins’ shortcomings may ultimately outweigh his strengths in the eyes of the Falcons’ coaching staff and front office.
In the end, only time will tell whether Cousins can prove his doubters wrong and solidify his place as a reliable starting quarterback in the NFL. But for now, it appears that the Falcons believe he may not be able to keep up as their quarterback of the future.
