This is probably right, they have some serious dark magic when it comes to NFL medicine.

That being said, I think Cousins might surprise everyone. The kid is smart, he probably knows the playbook back and forth. The key question will be his physical ability to run it. I don't think you necessarily water down the playbook though, just shift it somewhat more traditional.

Unless Cousins turns out to be really good at the zone read, in which case you can just laugh as teams prepare for traditional plays and get the zone read.
