Kirk Cousins is coming off his most efficient season as an NFL quarterback after completing 69.1 percent of his passes while boasting a 26-to-6- touchdown-to-interception ratio. It was the first time since 2015 that he didn’t cross the 4,000-yard mark but it was also his first double-digit winning season.

Cousins deferred to the running game but was deadly with the play-action pass. This season will be interesting as he’s going to be without Stefon Diggs who was traded to Buffalo and without Kevin Stefanski, who was the play-caller in 2019.

Should he continue to excel with those changes, it might be time for Cousins to finally get the respect he deserves.

There’s a school of thought that Carson Wentz leading the Philadelphia Eagles to the NFC East title last season with a questionable receiving corps was nothing short of miraculous. While it was impressive, the team was just 9-7 and barely beat out the Dallas Cowboys who were in a free-fall as the team checked out on head coach Jason Garrett.

It was also only the second time in his career that Wentz finished with a record over .500 as a starter. The tools are there to be successful but he has to put it all together to get mentioned in the top-5 in the game.
