Hilarious Oakland article posted a day before game.
Kirk Cousins vs Derek Carr: Two franchise QB’s off to very different 2017 starts
Can you guess whose season has been better?
Sep 23, 2017
- Both Kirk Cousins and Derek Carr are franchise quarterbacks. Their average annual salaries are top five in the NFL and are within about a million dollars of each other. Cousins’ contract is due to the franchise tag while Carr’s is from a recent long term extension. But if you look at their figures over the first two games this season, there’s a far more considerable difference.
- Cousins is 61% on his completions, throwing for 419 yards, two touchdowns and 1 interception for a passer rating of 82.9.
Compare that to Carr’s 75% completions for 492 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions for a passer rating of 126.5.
- You can argue, if you like, that Cousins has faced tougher competition. He has faced the Eagles and Rams while the Raiders have faced the Titans and Jets. But even if you isolate Carr’s numbers against only the Titans, he still outshines Cousins in either of his contests this season.
I expect more of the same when their clubs face off Sunday night in Washington.
