To answer your question, despite his struggles at least Blake can manage a winning team.

Well you see Cousins has already done that in years previous. 

I'll ask again, as a QB what does Blake do better than Cousins apart from run the ball? I'm talking about QB play. Not stats, actual traits QBs display on each and every play i.e accuracy, anticipation, not turning it over etc etc 

What does Blake do better as a QB?

I would rather sign Blake or another qb at $15-$18 million a year and draft an up and coming qb.  Give him a cap friendly contract where we can cut bait whenever we need to.

Every team with a good QB will have to pay that contract from now on if not more.  It'll be the standard.

That's not true, not true at all.  Tom Brady makes $1mm per game and that is the reason the Patriots are good week in and week out.  He gives them a chance to fill other positions.  Peyton Manning killed the Colts.  He was the reason they weren't able to fill the positions around him.  Eli Manning, same reason.  The Giants were able to put up a decent defense, but look at that offensive talent around him.

Has anyone actually watched Cousins this year?  While he's better than Bortles, do you really think he's a world beater?  He makes some of the same mistakes Bortles does.  He throws into bad coverages, throws right at defensive players that drop the ball, and can look relatively inconsistent week to week.  Is he really worth 5 times the value of what we're paying Bortles this year?  I'm willing to bet there is better value out there and I would rather invest in some of the guys we currently have and find a better solution than taking that risk.

Sure it will.  And if Coughlin didn't have high talent back in 90 S?   How good would the Jags be?   Ya have to have a QB.   Robinson may walk or not try.  if forced to stay.

Brunell was an ok quarterback.  Brunell had players around him that made him look amazing.  He had two potential hall of fame tackles in Searcy and Boselli, two legit wide receivers, Fred Taylor, and a ton of other role players that produced. 

Brunell's greatest skills for this team was his accuracy.  He just put the ball where it needed to be because this team was loaded with talent, and guess what if you blow 1/4 of the salary cap on your quarterback, you can't afford that talent.
