Dak Prescott- Kirk Cousins

[Mr_437]

Since 2016 Dak has thrown 166 TD and 65 interceptions, and a 2-4 playoff record

Since 2016 Kirk cousins has thrown 205 touchdowns and 75 interceptions, and a 1-3 playoff record.

The black Kirk cousins was the most accurate description of Dak ever lol

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yeah I'm surprised we still tolerate this level of race baiting nonsense. It serves no purpose. The two QBs play in completely different systems, and employ completely different play styles. They could not be more dissimilar even ignoring their respective tans. Mostly I don't care how good or bad someone thinks Cousins is. Until he plays for the Cowboys he will never matter to me.

I’ve said the same thing. Just lazy at this point. They play nothing alike. Different systems. Just lazy and race shouldn’t even be brought into it.

 

[mattjames2010]

Prescott has always been in that Cousins and Carr tier.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

He sucks, but has a pretty similar career to Dak? How does that make sense?

Kirk has similar stats to Deshaun Watson too….stats don’t tell the whole story. Kirk Cousins can’t beat a good team to save his life and can’t win in prime time. Did you not watch him get beat by 40 to the Cowboys?

 

[mattjames2010]

Lol have you seen his weapons in Minnesota?

And Dak has had a much better O-Line. That is much much much important to QB success than skill positions. Patriots created a dynasty with cheap skill players and putting their money into QB and the offensive line. WRs and RBs are really damn overrated in the league and it's even more overrated on this board because all of you still go to bed at night dreaming about Irving and Smith.

Dak has played on more talented teams than cousins

At least Cousins has had the excuse of starting for two different teams and 6 different OCs. Dak has had it better than both Cousins and Derek Carr with stable OCs and the same offense his entire career. It's crazy how many excuses people have to make for Dak. It's year 7 already...it's not happening with him as QB. Time to move on!

So Cousins gets excuses. Sounds about right here.

But they don't have similar careers. Dak has played in 2 more playoff games and won one more despite being in the league 4 fewer years. Dak also has a considerably higher winning percentage. And while he won't win any decathlons Dak is a definitively better athlete at the position. Cousins has played his entire career in the WCO which inflates his passing numbers far beyond their true value. He has also mastered the art of the give up throwaway pass as a means of avoiding interceptions. Which is great to a point.. When it comes winning time your QB has to be willing and able to make that risky tight window throw under duress. Neither of them is the greatest at that but IMHO Dak is better at it than Cousins.

 

[BKBDAD]

Cousins is easily better than Dak.

I've said it for years and it still remains true.

YEP, the same level QB who will never get you a SB Title!

 

[Silverz1972]

They have both robbed their teams for years.

 

[Jake]

They have identical career passer ratings - 97.8.

The O line has been inconsistent at best, all you have to do is review the pressure percentage they allowed.
RBs overrated? Philly just whooped the 9ers with 121 yards and 0 TDs from their QB. All of their production and points came from RBs.

I just figured everyone knew that teams like the 9ers w/ a pile of RBs is what helps in the post season and crap weather.

I'm glad you showed up to change the discussion from statistical similarities to team success. We really missed you hard hitting takes on these topics, glad you crawled out from under your rock.

 

[Havic]

Kirk is better, but not by a wide margin

 

[blueblood70]

Not sure why that matters but ok lol

because it does

you brought it up Dak beat cousins, i believe nearly every game they played against each other and this MN team on offense had far more weapons than Dak and it was on the road was it not. absolutly played better,

In fact dak pays better with less all the time, even in a loss. its right there for many to see, Daks(2016) been to the playoffs 4 of 6 of his healthy years, meaning in 6 seasons vs those numbers are for Kirk(2012) in what 9 seasons?

besides Cousins is very good qb, no doubt hes Romoesque and gets the same criticism but Daks slightly better...you are calling him Kirk is no longer really entertaining nor really a knock. Kirks made some big money as well.. but good try

 

[blueblood70]

Dak has also played on better teams

the teams were better because of him.. sorry not hitting home with this...they both are quality starter neither elite..and?

Dak has played on better teams, he should be to the playoffs more. Also I'd rank Dak just one spot ahead of Kirk

No, Dak had a better oline and skill players

The O-Line has been consistently ranked within the top 5 outside of what, one season? What the hell are you on about? Dak has been one of the most privileged QBs in the league in this regard. Zeke got a major contract because of them. So much so he bought them all expensive gifts because without them, he would have looked like trash sooner.

Also, how about learning to read? My argument was you can get by with cheap RBs and WRs....because you can. You also forgot to mention the team that lost, had Deebo Samuel CMC at WR and RB. You can get by in this league without great WRs and RBs, you know, like the Chiefs have the past 5 seasons, they also rid of Tyreek Hill and didn't miss a beat. WRs and RBs don't pick up the slack, O-Lines and QBs do.
