A man does not want to repeat his mistakes. And this is what Kirk Cousins is doing this season. With years of experience, the veteran QB could have been a key influence for the Falcons. But unfortunately, this did not happen. Last year Cousins appeared in 14 games and performed well in most of them. The man passed for 3,508 yards, averaging 7.7 yards per attempt and 250.6 yards per game. But the problem was that he had 16 interceptions, which led to his benching in favor of rookie Michael Penix Jr. And this was a benching that the QB did NOT LIKE.
Yep! That’s right. Nobody wants to be benched due to their poor performance. As if someone goes through some bad games, the mindset is always to come back stronger. Usually, players get backed by the team in this situation, but Kirk Cousins was not. And for a player like him, experiencing something like this was already a huge deal. With three games remaining in the season, the Falcons faced a critical turning point. From then, they needed to give it their all, and at that moment they chose Michael Penix Jr. to lead. Simply talking about it clearly indicates that what happened was wrong with Cousins. This is why the QB wants to be traded and go to a franchise that will treat him well.
But for now, talking about the trade Cousins has cleared his intention “to avoid the situation he found himself in last April when he was blindsided by Atlanta’s decision to take Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth pick.”
