Browns players are talking him up too.
so are broncos players, and jets players.
the thing is... players want to win today. They dont care if it hurts the club in the long run... when the team starts sucking in a couple years because we had no cap space to fill holes,...those players will just move on to other teams.
Both DJ and PP have approximately the same shelf life that cousins has...around five years +/- 2 yrs
Drafting a rook QB gets us 10-15 years with that first 5 being seriously cost controlled.
Their support doesnt mean Cousins is going to be any better than a rook over the next five years... just that they are being selfish and dont want to risk a down season as the rook develops... its understandable from their position. But an intelligent man has to understand it is purely a selfish position...and I really hope an NFL GM would understand that too.
He makes the most sense for the Browns since they have a history of making bad decisions in the draft and failing to develop QB's.... but if John Elway wants him,... Elway is going to get him.
