As always, Keim brings the reasoned and balanced thinking. It's not a slam dunk to sign the guy to a contract that makes him the highest paid player. It's a 'dilemma'. Perfect name for it.

As always, Keim is the voice of reason to bridge the gap between both sides of the argument. I, for one, would love to bring Cousins back, because I think he has clearly been the best quarterback we have had in a long time. And when I mean the best quarterback, I mean one that hasn't had just one really good year, he's continued to improve in the three seasons he's started. At the same time, he also has issues of starting the seasons slowly, and then having some really bad games like he did against the Chargers, Cowboys, and Giants.

So, it very much is a dilemma. It most certainly isn't a slam dunk to sign Kirk Cousins. Look at all the needs this team has going into next year. We need to resign Zach Brown, Mason Foster, we need to find a #1 receiver, we need a running back (I just don't have faith in Fat Rob), I'm not sure we can find all of those in the draft, but if we lose Cousins, well, that's another need - quarterback.

It isn't a cut and dry situation. It would've been if Cousins had gotten us to playoff appearances and wins in these last three seasons, but he hasn't. And in the end, what matters the most is your win/loss ratio and playoff appearances.
