Kirk Cousins situation reminds me of Matt Flynn from years before.

 

This same message board when I first joined years ago was all about getting Matt Flynn after Gabbert first year back in Gene Smith era when we had a lot of salary cap room in free agency. 

 

At the time Flynn was viewed as a hot commodity because he had a few good games against the Patriots and his record breaking performance against the Lions. Everyone was saying he was the next good QB and that he would start on many other teams. 

 

What ended up happening was he signed a big contract for the Seahawks but loss the starting position to Wilson and has hopped on teams (Raiders, Bills, etc) ever since as a backup who never amounted to anything. 

 

A similar situation also happened 4 years ago with Kevin Kolb who had a few great games when Vick first when down and then signed a huge contract with Arizona but turned into huge bust and eventually hopped from team to team being a bust (Bills, etc).

 

Bottom line is this situation seems like it happens every 2 years or so. A backup comes in and has a few great games and other teams desperate for a decent player at the QB position say they need to go after that player. 

 

Im not saying Cousins is a bad player but I would rather the Jags draft their own QB rather then take some other teams backup.
