Problem is, if we did sign Cousins, we'd be spent. Not a penny left for anyone else, that's worrisome to me.
If we went after Case Keenum:
1.) Is he a 1 year wonder?
2.) Do you want to hitch your wagons to him and commit long term? Because in my mind, he is going to get a fat contract.
Nick Foles would be a decent fall back option, but like Keenum, is he a flash in the pan? Do you want to give up draft picks and money to acquire him?
That leaves a bunch of other mediocre options, why dump Taylor at that point? Especially for a lateral move.
