Uncle Rico-like arm strength... that did make me snort out-loud.
LOL me too.

He took nearly every snap from the shotgun but they had a strong run game with two good backs.
Gotcha. Just want our FO to do its homework before grabbing a system guy who may not adjust well. A good chunk of Mayfield's highlights are read option runs...(flashback shudders)
Edit: Don't know anything about the guy/team other than highlights.
People talk generally talk about either McCoy or a veteran acquisition being the "bridge QB" while the 2018 draftee develops.
But what about the possibility of Cousins being that bridge QB, on a 3rd Franchise Tag, however unlikely that scenario is ?
It may be the least likely scenario, but it's still a possibility.
It may seem ridiculous to pay him that much, just for one more year, but it can be seen as an investment for the future, and a better option, for the young draftee and sit and watch and learn closely from someone like Cousins.
Probably one of the bigger questions, along with the other big questions in such a scenario, is how would Cousins react to such a scenario, and how cooperative or involved, would he be with helping the new guy develop.
The argument there is how many other pieces could have been had with that $34.5 mil this year? If we do that, could we have signed Brown and Breeland? Could we get a free agent DT, WR, RB, LG, ILB..
This may sound a little sour but we're not winning the superbowl next year, barring some sort of miracle
Gruden has made it clear he doesn't want to rent Cousins for another year.
That is a very valid argument.
But I can't agree that a Super Bowl is that far-fetched.
This is a league where guys like Nick Foles are leading teams to a Super Bowl. A guy who was benched by the Rams, when they were awful, and was let go by the Chiefs less than a year ago. A guy, who came off the bench late in the season to do so, and not only didn't play all year, but he didn't even play at all in the preseason due to injury. Then there's the Jags with Blake Bortles, who was a late 4th quarter comeback by the Pats, away from making the SB themselves.
So it's a league where anything is possible. If a team can start hitting and firing on the right cylinders, at the right times, anything is possible.
People love to come up with the right formula that it takes to make it to the Super Bowl.
As if there's just one or 2 ways to be a Super Bowl team (i.e. gotta have a franchise QB, vs gotta have a great defense debate).
But there isn't.
There are multiple combinations of a team "makeup" that can make them a winner.
There are multiple possible formulas that can cause a team to score more points than their opponent.
