I did a little comparing of Brees and Cousins through the last 3 years Brees was with the Chargers and the past 3 years of Cousins with the Redskins. And yes, I know the NFL passes more but it’s not THAT much different from 2005 to now. At this point in their career Brees had 5 years in the league compared to Cousins’ 6th year in 2017. With what we are doing right now the signs do point at a run for Cousins, and I like that a lot. Win now while the window is open.
