Cousins is a very very good QB. He is also a QB who will never get his team deep in the playoffs or win a Super Bowl. I believe you have to have a certain personality that can help you connect with offense and defense as well as alpha energy in the huddle to make your entire team better. That’s what gets teams deep in the playoffs and helps them win Super Bowls. Cousins is not the guy who brings the Tom Brady energy to his team which is why he will always be a QB who has great stats, but nothing when it matters most. With all that being said he is clearly a much better QB talent wise than anything we have currently.

This is such a horeshyt take. There have been plenty of Avg Quarterbacks that have won a Bowl. Foles, Dilfer, Flacco just to name a few. If you put Cousins on any of those Ravens teams they are still winning the championship.

They beat us, they can talk their crap. 

Cousins is SIGNIFICANTLY better than Darnold.

Still wouldn't have wanted to trade for him because it would have been for way too much. 

I'm sure we would have been happy to consider Cousins for $5M.

"Embarrassment of riches in the offense."

A broken down OBJ and a Average Jarvis Landry isn't an embarrassment of riches. lol. Chubb and Hunt are good tho. I'll give him that. This dude talking like he had Kelce, Hill, Watkins, etc.

The offensive line they had was pretty good if not a top unit.  I think that’s the biggest question.  Can we even protect this guy long enough to be average?

The Browns gave up 3 fewer sacks than Carolina last year. Where is this idea that they had some great line coming from? They were 27th and 28th in that regard.

There seems to be a thing in the nfl that if you’re good at run blocking or pass blocking you’re great all around but that’s not always the case.

Basically really good run blocking. Their tackles were injured most of the year so they had scrubs out there against edge rushers in pass pro. Anyways this Vikings guy can suck it.

I have no doubt they had a much better line than we did. But it wasn't great....and we have a new line so we don't know what we have. Likely a notably improved line.

This sort of goes along with the disclaimer "past performance is no guarantee of future results."

Our OL has almost always been one target of the "we are only one or two pieces away" thinking.  Historically, we bring in new pieces, our expectations go up, and they have generally not panned out.  The exception being 2015 when the group gelled until the Superb Owl.  So, we are jaded on the OL subject. 

I am generally of the "show me first" line of thinking, but I must admit, the fact we actually drafted somebody expected to be a major piece has me hopeful.  Guarded, but hopeful.

Then there is the minor fact that we couldn't be any worse than we were last year.

As far as the Vikings and the QB debate, Cousins is a decent to good QB.  I also think he is widely underrated.....except by whoever negotiated his contract with the Vikings.  On total cash for the year, he is the 5th highest-paid QB in 2022 per Spotrac.  He is above both Brady and Mahomes, and $10M above Brady at that. 

To put it in stock market terms, his P/E ratio has him overvalued.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
