Common sense is a funny thing in today’s day and age. Far too many instances over my life and the last 10-years or so, in particular, has shown me that the ability to make sound decisions based on indisputable fact, has become something akin to a superpower.
Look no further for proof of this than a recent Santa Rosa Press Democrat piece courtesy of San Francisco 49ers beat writer, Grant Cohn. In this brilliant article Cohn states that as a result of the Kansas City Chiefs trading QB Alex Smith to the Washington Redskins the 49ers should place the franchise tag on free agent QB Jimmy Garoppolo, trade him to the highest bidder, and then sign QB Kirk Cousins to a lucrative free agent contract.
