Cousins definitely is the quarterback of the future for Washington right now. At the very worst, Cousins will be an elite game manager. He will be able to carry a strong team to the postseason and possibly to a Super Bowl title. At the best, he could become a top 10 quarterback. The Redskins cannot let him walk away unless he performs horribly this season.

I think he will end up signing an extension with the team after this season. The two just go so well together, and Cousins should only get better the more he plays.
