Kirk Cousins May Be More Hurt Than Thought

Cousins definitely looks 55% healed. His drop backs came off like mini camp offensive drills, where the QB lightly skips back a few steps and tosses a few RB checkdowns. I like Kirk as a person. I don’t ever root for athletes to be injured. That said I won’t shed a single tear if his recovery is protracted & drags that trash franchise into the toilet.

Side note: I’m confused by the “he’s not throwing off his back foot” takes. For years, I heard top QB’s and QB gurus preach that QB’s are supposed to throw off their front foot to generate force and help complete accurate passes.

While I do see he can’t muster much power into his throws, it’s not solely because of his back foot. It seems he can’t transfer the force from his back foot to his front one, to get off strong throws.
