I'm thinking even if it means paying Blake his $19 mil for next year that we go ahead and keep riding him. Next year if we can find our future QB early in the draft then go for it, but keep riding Blake until our future is ready to play.

Under most circumstances, I'd agree with this.

However, I think this defense-if it can improve against the run-can be potentially Super Bowl caliber.

While the team could use an upgrade at G and a younger RT, the team can run the ball well enough to contend.

What it lacks is a trustworthy QB. 

To maximize the open contention window, I think a younger (than the 2004 class), veteran QB is the ideal.

Cousins fits that ideal, but will the skins let him walk?  If so, would they let him walk as a FA or will they require a trade to let him go.

Somehow I do not believe Garoppolo ever leaves New England.  Brady is 40, and there were reports the Pats turned up their noses at Cleveland's offer of their 2nd first round pick (12th pick overall, IIRC).

I think this leaves guys like Dalton, McCarron, maybe Flacco should Baltimore move on from him.
