That’s a hell of a lot of assumptions and hypotheticals to burn $100m and an 8th overall pick on.


Every 1st rounder is a hypothetical. Had they taken Dallas Turner, he is a hypothetical. But if Penix turns out to be a franchise player, he is obviously worth the #8 pick and Cousins has only cost 63 million in cap space over 2 years. And if Penix is a bust or isn’t ready yet, you get a top 10-15 QB in Cousins for a fair contract.

I was initially not a fan of this, and still don’t love it. But Im warming up to the logic after breaking down the actual cap numbers instead of the giant “4 year 180 mil” price tag.

You have to hit on a top 10 pick, they should be year 1 starters, and if they aren't it's a quick way to get shite canned

I was not a fan of this at all but after hearing the GM on an interview it makes perfect sense

He said a stat that was very alarming to me

He said that between week 9 and above, at any given time during the 2nd half of the season, 30% of starting QBs in the league did not play games. That number is just crazy to me.

In other words, he basically said that they do not expect cousins to start every game this upcoming season Due to injury
