At the same time, Cousins is clearly the best QB the 'skins have had in a very long time. I think he will have the most solid team built around him in a very long time as well, so I think Cousins has a great chance to prove his worth this season.

Guess we'll know how it goes by 4:01pm.

Well then, why even bother giving him the tag? Just let him go for being a failure, then move on to plan B.
