I am not going to repeat past arguments about KC and his ceiling. Nothing this year has changed my perception of him as being consistently inconsistent. I believe he has reached his ceiling. He can win with a good team around him and when he hits on most cylinders.
If he puts a string of six games in a row with a 2:1 or better TD/TO ratio, I will be convinced he has taken a step. I fully expect, however, that he will continue his ~ 1:1 ratio.
Kirk's TD/TO ratio were:
2012 - 4/4 (3 games; 3 INT's)
2013 - 4/10 (5 games; 7 INT's)
2014 - 10/11 (6 games; 9 INT's)
2015 - 15/13 (11 games; 10 INT's)
Teams can win with numbers like these, but not consistently. To me, and to be a better than average QB, over the long run you have to score twice as much as you turn the ball over.
Again, I still believe he is the best option at this point and likely next year.

i am on the fence with Cousins . . . i see his struggles but do see consistent improvement from him, which gives me room to hope . . . so by your comment, in his last 5 games he has a 12 TD to 5 Turnover or 2.4/1 . . . that is above a good QB standard by your terms no?
see:
week 7 - 4 to 1 (3 passing, 1 rushing) - 1 fumble
week 8 - bye
week 9 - 1 to 1 (1 passing) - 1 interception
week 10 - 4 to 0 (4 passing)
week 11 - 1 to 3 (1 passing) - 1 interception, 2 fumbles
week 12 - 2 to 0 (1 passing, 1 rushing)
Total last 5 weeks: 12 TD to 5 Turnovers
