4th quarter when the score was within a TD, winning or losing

Bortles: 23-51, 206 yards, 45%, 0 TD, 5 INT

Cousins: 34-54, 446 yards, 63%, 2 TD, 2 INT

Cherry picked stats, we can all find them and spin them. Don't mean much.

Cousins is about to be the highest paid QB/player in the NFL. He has 3 full seasons as the QB for the Redskins. In those 3 seasons, he has taken them to the playoffs one time (2015) and they lost that game. He can't even carry his own team, yet hes about to be the highest paid QB/player in the NFL? No thank you.

Further more, who's to say he even shows up after getting that much money? He could pack it in for 3-4 years, knowing he's completely safe and he can just coast his way to another contract. You sign somebody to that kind of money, you sure as hell aren't going to cut him anytime soon because that cap hit will be huge.

Cousins might be an upgrade, but he isn't $8-10mil better than Bortles and he sure as hell isn't anywhere close to deserving to be the highest paid player in the NFL.
