Does anyone disagree with some ratings here?

Cousins and Cam look really close but then this is a passing index.

OT
But noticed Derek Carr had a QBR of 49. Didn't think it would be that low. His advanced metrics

This isn't an ESPN index; it's mine. I didn't do Carr because I didn't watch him much this season, but I'm sure he would score well. He already starts with a 4 or 5 (top 12) in arm strength.

Kirk Cousins? Hold this neg and fukk your lame rating system.

And he's still a bum. That's my rating for that scrub. BUM.

You're super belligerent and it's verging on megalomania now. Cousins was ranked top 10 in NEP this season by Numberfire. He played like a top 10 QB and led the Skins to the playoffs.

He didn't beat a team worth a damn all year. He sucks and will get exposed next year. Quit caping for your Great White Hope QB and buy a clue. Same for @CHICAGO and @Juggalo Fred who apparently are as clueless about football as you are.

Is ball placement supposed to be accuracy?

 

[godkiller]

Is ball placement supposed to be accuracy?

Yeah, ball placement is where a QB throws the ball when he targets receivers. Some QBs have great ball placement and can help rack up YAC or big plays that way. Other QBs have poor ball placement and make receivers work to catch an otherwise easy ball. Still more QBs are inconsistent.

I don't cape for any great white hope QBs. I'm just being fair and balanced. Without Cousins' great QB play, your team doesn't make the playoffs and is in the dumps. Whatever you think of him going forward he basically saved your 2015 season. Stop attacking and think for a second. RG3 is probably better than he played but not in Gruden's system.

[IGSaint12]

Terrible rating system when Kirk Cousins is 2 pts lower than Cam.

 

[HHR]

You're an idiot.

 

[mrken12]

Terrible rating system when Kirk Cousins is 2 pts lower than Cam.

But he claims that he's not making Cousins into a Great White Hope. He's the perfect example of someone who doesn't watch games and only follows media narratives.

 

[godkiller]

Terrible rating system when Kirk Cousins is 2 pts lower than Cam.

In terms of raw passing acumen, Cousins is up there. Cam is a better deep passer and has a better arm to match, so his numbers will look better but he's not that much better than Cousins in terms of pure passing ability. I'm talking about footwork, read efficacy, anticipation, etc. It was only last year Cam started playing really well from the pocket. Before then he was mediocre. A lot of what Cam is able to do in the passing game is because of his athleticism and arm strength, more than his pocket passing intangibles.
