Actually, Cousins would be an upgrade:
Since Kirk Cousins has been a starting QB his averages for a season are - 4,223 yards, 29 TDs, and 10 INTS
Since Dak Prescott has been a starting QB his averages for a season are - 3,681 yards, 23 TDs, and 8 INTs
The rushing TDs aren't even that different - Dak has 25 career rushing TDs while Cousins has 17.
Thank you. I was being nice to the love Dak crowd. I mean we are stuck with him and this idiotic front office. I am not anti Dak, but I was anti paying him 40 million a year. Go back anc check all of my posts. I am hated by the Dakkers...
My simple analysis was from 2016 to 2020, even with his Franchise tag deal, the Cowboys had the best value at the QB position. In one stupid contract decision they went from best value per production to near the bottom.
Again take emotions out of the decision here. Where Dallas failed miserably was: These were all my points at that time by the way.
-They saw this same scenario play out with Jimmy G, Wentz,Goff, Cousins, and a bit earlier with Flacco. The smart teams zig while everyone is zagging.
-I would rather sign Fitz, Jameis, you name the middle tier QB who will give me 90% of Dak and I keep my options open.
-Like usual this FO does not know how to lead they just follow as they don't care about actually winning. Their goal is to be middle of the pack. They wont go 3-14 and try to potentially get a franchise guy, yes this draft did not have one but they are out there which is why the league is set at QB.
This is my viewpoint and I don't think Dak will break the mold. Again nothing against Dak but he will not be elite. We have seen him for 6 years. Can he get to a SB? Yeah if his coach was McVay or Shanahan, but not with keep the lights on, pastrami sandwich in his mouth guy. No way.
Yes I know Dilfer and Brad Johnson have won SB's this century, but they had historic defenses.. Do not fool yourself.
You need to have an elite, elite QB to have success long term in this league and even that is not a guarantee. Look at Rodgers. My problem with our mindset ties to this whole team culture.
There is a reason why this team has not seen a championship game appearance since the 1995 season, its the same reason this board fights about Romo vs Dak, or is Zeke going to come back to form, or you name the discussion. This team has zero leadership, zero absolute zero culture of winning.
We are as broke of an organization as there is in the league, just the majority of the fans dont wake up and realize it.
