I posted this in another thread, but it's relevant to this topic, so i'll post it again:
My friend works/writes for a global sports statistics and information company in Chicago and also happens to be a die-hard MSU fan. He is usually very unbiased and calls it as he sees it. He's watched ever game Cousins has played in and I value his opinion in most sports related topics. I asked him what he thought of Kirk Cousins, and this was his opinion:
"Kirk Cousins is probably the most overrated quarterback in the draft this year, but he does have a lot of skill and ability. The problem is, the only time he can show those skills is when he has forever and a day to make a decision. When he's hurried, he's a below-average quarterback. He screwed Michigan State on numerous possessions because he can't handle pressure and makes terrible decisions. His stock is rising because he can show off his natural abilites without having to worry about defenders running at him or being in his face. He'll probably end up getting drafted in the second round or early third, but I think as a whole package he's a fifth-round draft pick. I'm glad I'm not the GM who makes the decision to draft him higher than that."
I'm not taking this as gospel, I'm just saying this is the opinion of a huge MSU fan who watches every game, and gets paid to watch sports for a living.
