That kind of money has nothing to do with winning, or not. That's the kind of money that says I don't give two [BLEEP] where I'm playing, but I'm about to get paid regardless of what happens over the next 4 years. If we win, I get paid. If we lose, I get paid.

If this team signs Kirk Cousins, he better lead this team to the Super Bowl for (at least) the next 3 straight years, or it'll be the worst signing in NFL history.

Hyperbole much?  Breathe man.  If you sign a free agent qb that is an able starter, that's the going rate.  Matt Stafford is the highest paid right now, iirc.  And what has he ever won?  

It's not unreasonable.  Cousins is the only free agent out there that is worth paying starter money for.  Otherwise, keep Blake and move up in the draft to get your qb (which I hope is the plan).  Take your choice of the top 4 qbs.  My flavor of the week is Mayfield.  I just like the swagger and "it' factor he brings.

Stafford is miles ahead of Cousins in ability and it's not even close. I wouldn't want to give either of them that kind of money, but I'd give it to Stafford in a heart beat before Cousins. Stafford has had very little to work with his entire career there. Calvin Johnson and the list after that is slim to none. That guy has never had any kind of a running game there and a Defense that has been a joke. There's a reason why if he didn't put 30+ points on the board every week they'd lose.

You roll with Blake and look to draft a QB somewhere in the first 4 rounds of this year's draft. Ideally 2nd-4th rounds, but you never know who might be there in the late 1st.
