Sure a guy like Foles, Dilfer or Flacco can win the big game if they play smart/have an amazing supporting cast/catch fire, but any team would rather have a Brady, Brees, Roethlisberger, Rodgers, Manning, Wilson.Meh I think the whole you need a great QB argument is overrated. Wilson, Eli, and Big Ben all have titles but none of those guys fit the mold of elite.
I'm personally (and again, there's probably a reason I'm not a talent evaluator and all that, so take it with a grain of salt) not convinced that Cousins is that upper echelon of QB talent that will be the reason you win a Superbowl. And honestly, if a team doesn't have that quarterback, the team's sole focus will be finding that QB.
Maybe the Vikings/Broncos/Jets/Cardinals feel differently and think that Cousins is. If they do, then there really is no price tag on that. If a team thinks he is the guy they need to get him.
And if he is, I'll gladly eat crow. But IMO right now, Cousins is a rich man's Case Keenum who is a rich man's Blake Bortles. They can all be serviceable, but any team should be looking for an upgrade.
