Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with comparing two NFL quarterbacks, Kirk Cousins and Justin Herbert. I’ve heard a lot about these two, and I figured, why not dive in and see what the fuss is all about? It’s not like I’m a pro analyst or anything, but hey, it sounded like a fun little project.
First off, I started by gathering some basic info on these guys. You know, just hitting up the usual sports sites and getting a feel for their overall performance. Nothing too fancy, just checking out their stats, like passing yards, touchdowns, interceptions—the usual stuff.
Then I got into the nitty-gritty. I started looking at specific games, especially some recent ones. I wanted to see how they performed under pressure, how they handled different defenses, and if they had any standout games that really caught my eye.
- For Cousins, I noticed he’s had some pretty epic battles against teams like the Packers. It was interesting to see how he stacked up against a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers.
- With Herbert, I found out he’s relatively new to the scene, starting in 2020. I was curious about his early career, especially that first game against the Chiefs. Turns out, he stepped in last minute because of some crazy situation with the team doctor and the other quarterback, Tyrod Taylor. Talk about a wild start!
I also looked into some fantasy football advice sites. I know, I know, I’m not really into fantasy football, but I thought it might give me some different insights. People were debating who to start between Cousins and Herbert for Week 16 and Week 17. It was a mixed bag of opinions, but it gave me a sense of how these guys are valued in the fantasy football world.
So what did I find?
Well, Herbert seems to be a rising star with a lot of potential. Some folks are even saying he’s ranked pretty high overall and might put up some big numbers. On the other hand, Cousins seems to be a more seasoned player with a history of solid performances.
I also stumbled upon something about Herbert being good against the blitz, which apparently is something the Patriots’ defense does a lot. That sounded like a pretty important factor for their matchup.
In the end, it was a fun little exercise. I wouldn’t say I’m an expert now or anything, but I definitely learned a bit more about Kirk Cousins and Justin Herbert. It’s always cool to dive into these things and see what you can find out, even if it’s just for kicks.
