LOL
While that's funny, the difference is Shanahan had to say that because Beck was kind of the only option he had at the time, and needed to galvanize the team and make them believe in the vision.
Shanahan doesn't have to say anything positive about Cousins now. He let fly on RG3 once he was gone, saying he needed to change his study habits. With Cousins I guess there's an ego thing involved, a 'look how right I was' kind of thing. But to say he can be a top 10 guy, that's going out on a limb when you really don't have to. I think his comment is fairly genuine, mainly because he clearly articulates reasons why Cousins can be successful: work ethic, perfectionist nature, introspective, understands how to rely on his teammates, and knows what he doesn't know.
