deanpet,
Here is something a little concerning from that article you posted:
Corry: “Well here’s the problem: You don’t have a potential replacement on the horizon. Colt McCoy? That’s not a starting quarterback. Nate Sudfeld? He’s not ready. Scot McCloughan has been very good as a talent evaluator, but he does have a spotty record at quarterback. He did help [Seahawks GM] John Schneider find Russell Wilson in Seattle, but this is also the same guy that, when he was a part of the 49ers braintrust, took Alex Smith, who’s turned into a competent quarterback, over Aaron Rodgers, who’s a first-ballot Hall of Famer.”
(Corry and Bickel also mention the deal the Seahawks signed Matt Flynn to the same offseason they drafted Wilson, often regarded as a colossal failure on Seattle’s part.)

So SM doesn't necessarily have the best track record in selecting QBs. That should be factored into all of this. If he lets Cousins walk then the odds of finding a good replacement QB are that much worse given his history. Just a thought....
