Rodgers is “only” 32. NFL QBs have plenty of top years at 33, 34, 35, 36 and even 37. Because he’s a true great and has been so consistent for eight years I think you take him.

But, six games into this season, no one would have believed that anybody on earth would ask that question.

Since then, in 10 starts, Cousins has gone: 228-for-315 for 2,746 yards. That’s 72.4 percent with 23 TD passes, three interceptions and a 119.1 QB rating.

Some people in football, including Jay Gruden, might have thought Cousins had a healthy high ceiling. I bet there is not ONE “NFL person” who thought Cousins could have such a 10-game streak.

Sports doesn’t surprise you, it amazes you.

And confidence (within the individual) and chemistry (within the group) are the main reasons. That’s why you look for coaches/managers and GM who can build confidence and identify people who work well with others.
