I would think it is more the latter. I am also making the assumption he is another one of those veteran qbs who has no interest in helping the rookie take his job. Edward brought up the mentoring piece. This feels like it will be more of the reported Aaron Rodgers/Jordan Love dynamic than say the reported Alex Smith/Patrick Mahomes dynamic. Obviously Mahomes has become Mahomes and Love seems to have turned out ok so it may not matter all that much. But I can see Cousins getting a bit agitated with the inevitable questions about his relationship with the rookie.
