Not sure if serious?

There's no better interview on Gruden's QB camp this year than Cousins.

Not saying I want him in Red & Gold, but facts are facts.

Eager to see all of it. Cousins still doesnt have the arm, decision making or accuracy of Wilson. Great guy though.

Just watched Cousins QB camp. Anyone who has watched both and thinks Cousins is even in the same league is smokin crack. Half the conversation was on why he made mistakes. Got to the field and right away went to a corner throw he couldnt make during the season and he immediately missed again this time with nobody rushing.

Actually watch Russels QB camp and say that with a strait face.

I didn't watch the interview, I did see him throwing and it wasn't pretty.

He's short with not alot of arm strength that succeeded in a run heavy offense. I'm thinking you need to take the homer glasses off.

To me, he seems like a more athletic Chase Daniel.

I could care less about wisconsin. Every analisis of the guy says he has a cannon and can "flick" the ball 50 yards on a scramble. Second only to RG3 in this draft.

O.city · 04-16-2012, 09:08 PM

He doesn't have a bad arm, but it's no Stafford. Of course, not many guys have those types of arms.

I just don't see him as being anything more than a backup.

From what I've seen of the Cousins interview, it wasn't nearly as good as Wilson's. And I think O City is crazy if he thinks he lacks arm strength. He routinely chucks the ball 50 yards down field and hits receivers in stride. He also can put a ball on a rope.

Further, he played behind one of the biggest lines in college football. The chiefs line is smaller. I think his high release and ability to see the field will mitigate shortness.

Exactly. Gruden was agreeing that seeing lanes, knowledge of what the defense is doing and anticipation are the keys to success.

Being 5'10 isn't.

Not to split hairs, but 5' 10 7/8. Thats 1 1/8th shorter than Brees. pretty close to 5' 11

Maybe I'm crazy, but "cant read defenses", "never ran a pro-offense" and "cant throw the ball 20 yards" are bigger issues.

I am not for taking a QB just to take one. We already have a project in Stanzi.

Wisconsin did a good job of covering Wilson's flaws up. Was used primarily on play action roll outs and a lot of 7 step drops. He had all day to throw quite often. That's not going to fly in the NFL.

O.city · 04-16-2012, 09:15 PM

Wilson was a great college quarterback. Had a great year at Wisconsin. He played baseball in the minors iirc, he has a good arm. It's nothing really special.

He's 5 foot 10 though.

Again, I see him as a slightly more talented Chase Daniel or Troy Smith. I think he will make a good backup and possibly be a guy that starts someday.

But thats pretty unlikely.
