The Athletic Football Show on Kirk Cousins

Cousins' 2-for-11 under pressure and middle-field avoidance limit his ceiling.

Kirk Cousins showed significant limitations in the Ravens game: he makes about four impressive throws per game but has notable restrictions; he was 2-for-11 with three sacks under pressure, struggles to throw over free rushers, and has a low release point that compounds his pressure issues. He doesn't attack the middle of the field consistently—after throwing a touchdown to Kyle Pitts early, he largely avoided that area. The source compared him to Jacoby Brissett: a capable NFL quarterback but with limited upside for development.
