Cousins has arrived

[ethat001]

He's young and should get better each year.
He did what he did with a young Oline and no running game this year.
He's definitely got more risk than the Brady / Brees / Rodgers tier.
He's probably not as good as the KC supporters think
He's probably not as bad as the haters think

He'll get paid, but agree $17-18 million is reasonable, and put in escalators, bonuses, whatever to make the sides meet. And each year the cap goes up so a longer deal that we can get out of if necessary may be better for us (IF he is a legit starter)

BUT here's the question - why do any of us care? We have TONS of cap room, none of us should care if they overspend on him by 1-2 million. It's Snyder's money and if McC continues to draft well our team has lots of rookie contracts which are cheaper.

His numbers over the last ten weeks of the season and the facts about no run game and a young oline (you can throw in a bad D because a good D keeps the O in rhythm and gets u better field position at times) suggest he is as good as us supporters think.
Edit: remember when people were saying let me see two good games in a row, well he gave us several.
