This is how I feel EXACTLY. As a 42 yr old, I grew up with the 80s Redskins that won three Super Bowls in 10 years (and went to a 4th) despite three different QBs and three different RBs. We haven’t been anywhere near that success since.
So I’m fine with, ya know, not going 4-12 or 6-10 every year. I’m good with not having a high paid DL who quits in games, or a receiver beating up our back, or a QB who head butts a wall, or a head coach who doesn’t know the team colors, etc. I like having seasons that have things to play for, even if they lose.
That’s why Cousins is important. No, he isn’t perfect nor worth being the highest paid QB, but he’s our guy who has pretty much been crapped on since he’s been here and performs very well. We play in a division where the Cowboys and Eagles just drafted their franchise QBs and the Giants have a two-time Super Bowl champion. We haven’t had security at the QB spot since Rypien. Well, honestly, since Theismann in the early 80s.
In a division that’s all over the place, we are the lone team that has been good the last 2 years. I’m good with that right now.

I am glad to see they might have drafted a few guys with an attitude. I wish could have drafted an OG earlier,
But maybe things will work out. I am still Leary of the hubris displayed by George Allen by not hiring a gm.
