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.

The reason the pats are good week in week out is because they have the GOAT HC and the GOAT QB playing alongside each other. Brady takes less for the good of the team. That is not the standard.  

The colts drafting defense terribly is what "killed them". Peyton choking in the playoffs killed them. Bad coaching "killed them". The contract wasn't the issue there. And they still made the playoffs every year.  

I think you are remembering the past wrong. Eli has had very good receivers , very good run games and very good lines all at different times of his tenure. The last few years have been bad but that isn't a contract issue. The issue is the Giants have failed to address their line and run game. The issue is the front office. The issue is Eli declining. The actual contract wasn't the problem.  

Cousins has been playing like a borderline elite QB the last 2 years, with a bad defense and run game.
Did you watch Drew Brees and Matt Ryan play last night? Awful mistakes from both of them. Still very good QBs. 

Ideally we would draft one of the top 3 QBs this year but it looks unlikely to happen. So apart from that miraculously happening what is your plan for the QB spot next year.
