The better comparison for Cousins is Andy Dalton. That still gets you to the same place - decent QB but not transcendent.
The teams playing in the AFC and NFC championships tell you all you need to know about the importance of a top notch QB.
Part of me thinks tagging and trading Cousins wouldn't be the worst thing. But the other part of me thinks he can still keep getting better. There's no reason to think we've seen his ceiling yet.

I wouldn't say that there's no reason. There's more there than not. He's had more than enough development time and actual game experience to show what he's got. He's still got time, but what his contract demands say- he's saying he's already there.
