Kirk Cousins is the new Tony Romo

[TheMarathonContinues]

But when you list stats you need to be equal, that would be games started or the average of the stat.

When one player has played one more season worth of games, it's not equal.

Tony Romo completed 65.3 percent of passes in his career.
Kirk Cousins has a completion percentage of 66.8 in his career.

Kirk Cousins has 0.74 intercepted passes per game played in his career.
Tony Romo had 0.75 intercepted passes per game played in his career.

Tony Romo had 1.59 passing touchdowns per game played in his career.
Kirk Cousins has 1.77 passing touchdowns per game played in his career.

I remember those guys as upgrades from what we had.
Bill Nagy started 4 games at LG.
Cory Procter started 11 games at LG in 2008.

I'm the President of the Phil Costa Fan Club. Also the only member.

But gotta admit his mystery snaps were a hoot. I don't know of *any* QB who ever had to handle so many bad shotgun snaps in a season. And I don't remember Tony losing one. Miracle Man.

I remember it being more like

Adams, Kosier, Gurode, Davis, Colombo for a few years...then some crappy years and then by 2014 it was Leary, Free, Frederick, Martin, Tyron and Parnell at swing tackle. ....

Can't compare stats directly across eras.
Have to normalize individual stats against the distribution of those stats within the league at the same time.
Staubach's highest season QB rating was 104.
Kirk had a couple of seasons higher than that. He's not better.
When Staubach made 104, the next highest player was Griese, at 91.
Tony led the league in QBR in 2014. The highest Cousins has ever been was 6. Twice. Tony was 1,3,6,8.
Tony was better.

Oh I wasn't insinuating Kirk was better. I was saying Kirk is the Tony Romo of this era of football.

This thread now moved to the ”Overtime Zone”……where obscure threads go to be put out of their misery.

 

[Philmonroe]

Just pleases don’t nobody say anything that will get this thread locked down…..

I should purposely get this thread locked down j/k. Same fishing tactics used thread after thread by the thread starter.

Cousins=Romo=Dak, those 3 are interchangeable. It's not an insult, those qbs need a lot of help, if you were starting off a franchise these 3 guys wouldn't be your first pick , but if you got them, it's not a horrible deal

Romo if he had the teams like Dak had consistently in his prime I think would’ve got further tbh. Truth is we will never know for sure but that’s just my opinion but Kirk and Dak would still be stuck where they’re at. I just think you like most people can’t see past the obvious. Dak and Kirk are the same but Romo overall as a qb isn’t the same as them. Dak isn’t getting no Laurant Robinsons type wr a big deal anywhere else. Every time Dak have them type of wr the Dakalites complaining he needs more and more help.

Is Kirk Cousins the new.......Tony Romo?

Romo's time-adjusted Passer rating is about 100....fwiw.
Plus...as you know...QBs don't have won-loss records...or at least not to those who understand football is a team game.

 

[DFWJC]

i'm biased.
romo was a better qb.

Definitely better

 

[DFWJC]

Romo has been gone years ago, and this isn't the same league. Why can't you just compare Romo back then to Cousins back then?

Won't do that because it doest for the agenda.

 

[DFWJC]

What do you mean its not the same league? Romo played in the late 2000's and 2010's......when it was a passing league. The isn't like Aikman's era.

Plenty of rule changes since then both with protecting the WRs and QBs.
QB ratings have steadily risen, and the sad thing is that I bet you know that, but are doing this anyway.
It's a dishonest post.

 

[DFWJC]

MVP level? I"m assuming you mean 2014 and not 2016...how was he at a MVP level in 2014 when he lost in the first round like Cousins always does? If 2014 was MVP level then Kirk has had a few MVP level seasons using that as the benchmark.

This tells me you are either clueless or dishonest...or both.

Dallas DID NOT lose in the first round in 2014 and Romo became the first QB in NFL history to lead the league in QB rating in both the regular season and playoffs that year.

The correct stat is games started, not games total.

Romo 127, Cousins 137.

TDs Romo 1.95, Cousins 1.83
INTs Romo .92, Cousins 76

Fixed it for you.

No need to attack me. I’m not clueless or dishonest I was saying we were one and done in 2014. I’ll have to remind myself of how it went but i thought we had a bye and then lost in the first round….

2010-2012 was bad, and Cory Procter starting for a year in 2008 shows you something wasn't right there too.
The names above were still playing in 2010, but their careers were grinding down. We started the season with I think a Ram T we traded for, with Colombo injured? Barron! And he was the guy that killed Roy's game winner with a penalty. Bill Nagy starting 4 games at LG in 2011. Then Ryan Cook at C in 2012? That can't be good.
Definite uptick in 2013 with Tyron making his first Pro Bowl and Fredbeard's rookie season. Then Boom! Martin shows up in 2014 and makes all Pro.
So sad that Tony broke down in 2015.

 

[mattjames2010]

Romo was a better QB than Cousins and anyone suggesting otherwise doesn't know football.

 

[mattjames2010]

You have no idea what the hell you're talking about. The game from 2007-2014 has certainly changed. You can look up QB accuracy to see how much it changed.

 

[mattjames2010]

Hmmmmm ......IDK, no team was will to trade one pick, even a 7th rounder, for Romo before he retired.

Texans were very much interested in Romo before he retired. Nobody traded for Romo, because well, he retired....

It’s a passing league. You guys are talking like it’s the 90s. Aikman and Staubach gets that excuse. Not Romo. Guys were passing all over the league….
