[DC 86]

Personally, I'd rather pay a bit more for the proven commodity, say 22 million/year for Cousins instead of 16/year for Garoppolo, but I do believe in the current Niners brain trust so will wait and see.

Only problem is that the market price for a proven commodity at the position is much higher; Cousins is already making 24 mm/year this year and widely expected to command the biggest contract in history if he hits the open market (due to scarcity, obviously he isn't considered the best QB in the NFL) with most estimates being in the range of 30 million/year. This past offseason Cousins turned down a contract offer from Washington that included $53 million fully guaranteed ($72 million guaranteed against injury).
