Cousins Open to Trade.

I know you're not a fan of him, but just like some here seriously overvalue him, I think you're undervaluing him a bit by suggesting giving him away for next to nothing.

IMO you are correct. There is a lot of overvaluing and some undervaluing of Cousins on the Warpath.

He has value because of youth and because of starter experience, some of which was successful. Therefore we should get good value in a trade, not a 7th rounder.

But his career numbers are not just below, but far below, some of the other folks who can hold a backup job for us. Interestingly, someone close to him in career numbers is Rex Grossman:
Cousins 68.6 QBR, 56.2 comp.%, 6.5 YPA, 8 TD, 10 INT
Grossman 71.4 QBR, 55.2 comp.%, 6.6 YPA, 56 TD, 60 INT

Thus Cousins COULD be the next Rex Grossman in terms of having a few bright moments in an otherwise mediocre track record. His stock is good but not sky high.
