I disagree. The mistakes are because he's just not very good. He's been given plenty of opportunity but hasn't shown himself to be a very good QB.

Why do you think the coaching staff is passing over him in favor of Colt McCoy?
Because they think Colt McCoy gives them a better chance to win this week? They don't trust Cousins not to throw multiple INTs this week. BTW, Peyton Manning threw 2 INTs in his 10th start, which is what Cousins would be if he started another game.
It's shortsightedness. Talent-wise, Cousins is ahead of McCoy. At some point, they are going to have to either let Cousins go to another team, or play him long enough to see if he can get over his INT problem. If he does, he's a solid NFL starter. If not, they at least know. 9 games is not enough to know.
Again, he has all the problems through 9 games that Peyton Manning had, except not as bad. I don't see how that is conclusive to say he cannot improve and be better.

You'd be better served dropping the Peyton Manning angle. Everyone saw the potential in Manning. He was the 1st overall pick. We're in year 3 of Cousins and he still looks like shite. This isn't his rookie season. He's had multiple offseasons and training camps to get his shite together. Since you're in the mood for comparing Cousins to Peyton, compare year 3 of Cousins to year 3 of Peyton.
It's pretty clear that the coaches have seen enough of Cousins to know he ain't shite. He looks like a career backup. That's not a bad thing. It's an easy job. But to act like "if only they gave him a chance, he could be something" is silly.

What makes you think Cousins is ahead of McCoy talent wise, I'd actually argue the opposite. McCoy has mobility, and accuracy whereas Cousins has a better arm. However Cousins makes terrible decisions with the ball, despite nearly two months of first team work whereas Colt hasn't gotten much in the way of first team snaps.
