Cousins Saga 4.0. Is he done in DC?

[Schneed10]

Max Kellerman said it really well yesterday. You won't win the Super Bowl because of Kirk Cousins but you can win the Super Bowl with Kirk Cousins.

He's not the Rodgers / Brady type of QB who elevates the play of those around him. But Super Bowls have been won by worse quarterbacks because they had a complete team around them.

The thing we have to ask ourselves, in the salary cap era, how hard is it to put together that complete team around Cousins if Cousins is being paid top dollar? It's a shitty decision to have to make - I think the answer is doing that is extremely hard. It's also extremely hard to find a new QB who can do what Cousins can do, let alone who can do what Rodgers or Brady can do.

Compounding it all is the obstacle we face in our own division - Dak and Wentz are on their rookie deals yet already are among the top 10 in the league. It's a tough position and I'm afraid there's no good answer besides getting very lucky in the draft - either draft the next big QB or keep Cousins and hit on a whole bunch of middle rounders who turn to be stars.

Like I said, it's hard.
