So I don't always get it right.
But I think the STATS and the HARDWARE are going to show me right on this one.
I had a quick look through QBR figures for the past 8 years the other day, looking for the closest similarity to Kirk Cousins (because I'm like that) and guess what.....?
it's Matthew Ice.
With the exception of two outlying years....this year and (I think) Matty's second year, young Matthew's QBR is exactly the same as the two years of Captain Kirk's.
Now maybe Kirk doesn't have the outlying good years in him (although I think he might), but given nobody (that I'vee heard) thinks Falcons shouldn't have paid Matthew, the Captain is getting paid for sure and Skins are right to do so
