I would call Bradford the definition of mediocre, that's why he got this deal. He's shown flashes of a real franchise QB, but he's mostly been average to below average. The Eagles are gambling those flashes turn out to be the early signs of a great QB.

And because of the Kaepernick deal structure, I bet Cousins would have gotten the exact same deal on the open market as Kaepernick, heavy dollars but lots of outs in it. The desperation teams have for QBs too also drives the prices of average QBs through the roof.
