That is the Minnesota way....but it seems to be happening more in the NFL than normal. The Colts game from a week ago....Matty Ice threw it to a dude for two yards when it was third or fourth down and a mile, game clock going to zero, and the guy promptly goes out of bounds.
Cousins is bad when it comes to being a stat padder. He's gotten better at it but he still is far too concerned with throwing picks. Last year he threw a ball into the dirt in front of the goal line with time expiring, which is still the most gutless, stat-padding bullshit I've ever seen a QB do. Give your receivers a chance....even if you think it's a 1% chance of being caught versus a 99% chance of being intercepted?
It's still better odds than throwing it in the dirt which gives you a 0% chance.
Jefferson, Thielen, and Hock-Dawg....our backs can catch unlike AP.....throw the freaking ball up while taking a sack in a game like against Dallas.....when you're already getting your ass beat...who cares? Worse that can happen is you continue to get your ass beat....upside is 18 or 19 making an unbelievable catch, changing the momentum, a scoring drive, and getting your ass back into the game.
