Yeah. He panics, and when he does, he makes bad head-scratching decisions, like that last throw. Or even that throw to Justin Jefferson vs BUF (I think it was BUF); that throw was actually not very good. Cousins threw that ball like he was trying to over-throw Justin. If it weren't for Jefferson's exceptional athleticism and length, there's no way that's a catch, and it nearly wasn't.
Overall, though he's been pretty good for a while. He's got pretty good numbers across the board, as far as QB stats go. He needs several top-tier weapons, a solid running game, a good OL, to be that successful, meaning he can't make do with lesser weapons/OL/running game. He's just not that dude.
Anyway, if I were MIN ownership, I'd be looking for another QB, unless I thought I could build a top-10 defense for next season.
