I'd add Wentz and Russell Wilson to the "because of" list.
But don't oversimplify, it's not black and while like these QBs you win "because of", and these you win "with".
Some create a ton of plays on their own, some create some on their own, some create a little on their own, and some create none on their own.
Like Roethlisberger isn't on the level of Brady Rodgers and Wentz in my mind but I'd gladly take him over Cousins any day. When you're that big and can extend plays it adds a lot of value. But yeah he's not going to do it on his own, he needs Antonio Brown and that line and LeVeon.
Cousins is good and we should try to retain him but we need to keep in perspective that his ceiling is probably a Matt Ryan career. If everything breaks right on the team around him, you can succeed.
