Won't make you laugh when Brady and Belichick are gone and the Patriots are just another franchise who loses to guys like Kirk Cousins.
Very likely he's better than what the Pats will have at quarterback.
Umm, you and I don't know that. BB could draft another Garropolo this year, get him developed in 2-3 years, and there you go. The key to this kind of a discussion is not the name on the back of the jersey, but how you can control the money.
The QB market is completely bloated right now, so what John Lynch just did is what teams should be doing, other than Cousins being able to generate, maintain and control leverage.
The whole reason why the Skins are moving on is because Cousins established and gained momentum in the market. The mistake the Skins made was waiting and not shopping him last offseason.
Ideally, you want to do a Seahawks/Russell Wilson maneuver where you can win a SB before the big contract comes, because the QB contract changes the entire cap recipe for a team.
A GM like John Schneider in Seattle, or Ted Thompson or Ozzie Newsome don't look quite as good as the media once portrayed, do they?
What do they have in common besides only ONE ring as GMs, when they should have had maybe 1 more?
They have very pricey QBs due to what Ozzie Newsome irresponsbly did heading into 2012.
