I think with the new regime, outside of possibly center, you have to give the rest of the o-line the opportunity to grow together. For right now, I'm not investing any free agent money into the offensive line, except for maybe veteran minimum backups. If you're investing any "resources" into anything, it's the defense, as that can't all be fixed via the draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you improve the line, but get an inferior QB, have you really made any improvement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzmagic and Bridgewater are UFA's Fitz could give us comparable stats to cousins at a fraction of the cost. He would be my pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. If you completely ignore the fact that Fitz has played 41 more games....and has 78 more interceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is vaccinated and Cousins isn't. Not that, that is a wash, but also something to consider. Along with the other knuckle draggers on the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a 7 year difference in the start of both players careers. So I'm not sure how relevant that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to look at the averages and RSD's of the league to know for certain. Again, it isn't a perfect argument, but you don't have to shell out a ton of cap for a guy who has played reasonably well in the last couple of years.

They 2nd level stats (beyond bulk numbers) are starkly in favor of Cousins. it's not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also wasn't a starter the majority of that time. His mistakes kept him on the bench. He's been a better player as he has matured. Same can be said for Tannahill, and other QBs. It's rare, but it happens. My argument is the value is baked into the comparable cap hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
