Cousins 3.0, he's going to sign the franchise tag

My point is, there are just as many good reasons not to sign Cousins long term as there is to sign him long term. We, Redskins fans, are looking at the reasons to sign him, and those reasons make sense and are justifiable. But, there are plausible reasons not to sign him to a long term contract. The one year deals concede that Kirk Cousins is good and that good quarterbacks are not easily found. However, long term deals say he's good enough to win Super Bowls. If you don't truly believe that, why would you give the guy a long term deal?
