NFL history is not littered with examples of veteran quarterbacks changing teams and taking them to the championship. There are a few, but not a ton. Moreover, recent history looks even worse as the cap has made that less and less viable an approach.
If you're paying top of the market prices for a QB that's just slightly better than average, in a cap league you're making your team worse in the long run, not better.
If they make that signing and don't win a SB in the first 2 seasons, they won't win one at all. And with the complexity of Reid's offense, you can pretty much write year 1 off anyway (he'll still have a hell of a learning curve). So you're putting a whole lot of eggs in the year 2 basket before that contract starts to make it impossible for you to retain talent around him.
Nah, not interested.

I think he makes us better but probably not a super bowl champion. Im not sure thats this franchises desire though. Of course they want to win it all but I dont get that same desire as say New England, Denver or Pittsburgh. Cousins atleast gets them to the playoffs.
Or we could all be wasting our time on this and they try to give the keys to our current backup whos stuck around for 4 years. Maybe we do get that top 10 pick next year since our 33 year old qb doesnt know how to slide. Who knows?
