Cousins is getting 45 million a year with his new contract in Atlanta.

His average season with Minnesota was 30 TDs and 10 INTs.

Daks average season is 28 TDs and 10 INTs.

At the time of his injury last season Cousins was on pace for 38 TDs, 11 INTs, and 4,950 yards.

Thats 500 more yards, 2 more TDs, and only 2 more INTs than Daks runner up MVP season.

Through the first 8 games for Dak, before Cousins injury, Dak had 2,011 yards, 13 TDs, and 5 INTs while Cousins had 2,331 yards, 18 TDs, and 5 INTs.

Is it the injury? Age? Big whoop.Cousins will be his consistent self next year just like he always is while who knows what we’re going to get from Dak with the drama and roster shakeup hovering around.

Both guys do nothing in the playoffs, so that’s pointless to argue.

Basically, there is no universe where Dak should be making over 15 million a year more than Cousins, who has always been the better and more consistent QB between the two.
MC, I’m tired of Dak’s underachievement here in Dallas. But your assertion that Cousins and Dak are either the same or somehow Cousins is “better” in statistically incorrect.

In 17 head to head categories, Dak has better stats in 9-10 areas, including less INTs, better completion %, less losses (by far), has one All Pro season compared to zero for Cousins, and has 2 playoff wins to Cousins 1* (Crrected after prior mistake on my part) They are similar in many ways but asserting that Cousins is better statistically is incorrect.

Read this head to head comparisons:

Whether Dak “deserves” more than Cousins is arguable. Arguing that Dak is the same or worse than Cousins is not Apples to apples. The inflated contracts for all starting NFL QBs is not unique to Dak or Cousins. It’s simple economic market supply and demand. The demand for even decent QBs is high, while the supply is extremely low. Thus QBs are overpaid. These QBs are not being “greedy”. It’s simple economics.

Sorry, Bob.

But when you said Cousins has 0 playoff wins I stopped reading. ESPECIALLY after saying my stuff is statistically incorrect.

My mistake. Cousins has one Playoff win.

We can disagree on other assertions. My opinion is that Dak has underachieved in the biggest moments for his team. No question. But IMO saying Cousins and Dak are the same is inaccurate statistically.

When did Cousins play for Garrett or had spoiled and ridiculous fans constantly badgering him, even though he can't hear them, no matter how much crap the spew. LOL! I bet you guys actually think he sees your posts. Unfortunately, we are the only ones stuck with it.
jerry loves your blind devotion. I bet he might come out to your ranch and sign an autograph for you.

That's the difference, some of us have hope, which is all we can do....some of you quit, which is all you do.
nobody has quit, we don't support crap. For some reason, you think you will get a medal for blind devotion. The haters aren't miserable, the lovers are the ones crying about fans, we don't care how many rainbows or unicorns you guys ride. We find it funny. Sounds like you guys are the ones miserable because you can't control how other fans display their beliefs. shrugs, it bothers me none, it's actually funny. lol Salud, lovers!

...Jerry probably likes your hate more, since it keeps him relative and makes him laugh. I can see him toasting with some scotch saying, To all the haters that keep coming back? No matter what I do. Salud, haters!

When all you do is hate on the team, you quit. Can't enjoy any positives, Can't enjoy any of their 12 wins, only a SB win will suffice. Yeah, you QUIT...now you're just defending the other haters that also QUIT. Now, hush 5 minutes to liftoff on South Padre Island!

Neither guy is worth what they'll probably get/got. I think Bakers money is what they both deserve. Both crap the bed when the lights get bright. Regular season Joe Montana's. Bored with that....
