Sure. But elite quarterbacks are extremely hard to find. You can make a case that there is only 1 legit elite QB in the league right now. Allen, Burrow (when healthy) and I guess I’ll throw Lamar in there, are all very good to great. But how can you be considered elite if there is someone else clearly better than you are?
So, teams have to get quarterbacks to play for them. The reality is, Cousins is a top half of the league QB, proving how hard it is to find great, let alone elite, QBs |

Remember when the Chiefs brought in Alex Smith?
Same reason Atlanta brought in Cousins. |

Atlanta could have signed Lamar Jackson last year and instead they are going with a brokedick 36 year old Kirk Cousins.
I am certainly no Lamar fan, but I'd rather have him than a 36 year old Kirk Cousins coming off an Achilles injury. |

Basically, there are 32 teams in the NFL, but probably less than 5 QB's that can realistically win a Super Bowl.
So what do you do? Do you tank for one? Trade up? Somehow find one who's available in free agency? All of those paths are either unavailable to most teams, or have massive downsides that will end up getting you fired if it goes wrong. This is why you sign a QB like Mayfield or Cousins, they're job security for GMs. They keep you respectable and might even win a playoff game, which for some teams and fanbases is a huge success. |

True fans love these kind of moves. They are thrilled with 9 10 wins and "competing" Most fans aren't like us.

Cousins will win you 10 games like clockwork. An organization like the Falcons will eat that shit up like gravy when they've been sucking ass for so many years.
Fields has incredible physical traits that some coach is going to think they can "fix," so he'll get another shot as well. There aren't really a lot of options out there, so teams have to make the best with what they have. Except us because we have Patrick Mahomes, who I personally like and think he is quite good based on what I've seen thus far. |

When I heard "Cousins to the Falcons" I thought of Matt Ryan 2.0.
