These three links suggest that Washington's won-loss record during Cousins's tenure is due to reasons other than Cousins:

Those statistics account for the strength of opposing defenses in determining quarterbacks' ratings. And note where Cousins fell in comparison to Tannehill in 2015 and 2016.
Statistically Cousins is a great QB, but he struggles in big games against stiff competition, even Redskins fans know that.
Tannehill hasn't had too many big games in his career either, but I still think he is a better QB than Cousins because he is more talented and typically less turnover prone (which is why we beat them in week 1 a few years ago).
Cousins has a tendency to throw game killing picks against good teams, for example in this game below at the 5:40 mark in the youtube video, I don't think Tannehill makes this horrible game killing throw...
