A similar cast? The oline added 4 new starters last year and was significantly better than what Bradford had protecting him. He also had a better batch of RBs to take the heat off of him than Sam. Sam really wasn't given shit the previous year to work with...not to mention no training camp/offseason, and his OC quit half way through the year. Sams performance under those conditions was nothing short of amazing in many cases.@StickyBun said:
If Case Keenum can play like he did last year in Minnesota, Cousins can certainly take the next step also. What did Keenum do before last year? Cousins has a body of work at least.
I think the odds are much higher that Case takes a step back and Kirk a step forward this year. Idk Stickman. I seldom disagree with you but here...
I look at the reasons Case did well. His O line was not good yet he was able to move around in the pocket better much better than most, kept his eyes diwnfield, sensed pressure and somehow knew when to bolt. Then he usually threw accurately on the run. The guy had a similar cast as Bradford the previous season, yet he did much better (8-8 vs 13-3). Being an accurate pocket passer behind a medicore line maybe isnt a good match.
I really think Case’s skillset is much different than Bradfords, and maybe Cousins’.
I am pretty certain that letting Case go meant upgrading the Oline substantially was a neccessity this year. I honestly havent seen enough of Cousins’ work to speak to his ability to avoid the pass rush and throw accurately on the run. Hopefully he excells at it.
