What Makes Anyone Think Dak is Worth More Than Cousins?

Basic economics is a mystery for too many people following sports.

Call me crazy, but I’m not paying Ferrari prices for a Corolla just because they’re both cars.

Didn't Cousins tear his Achilles or ACL this season?

Ok so he’s better rested

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

I don't even like Dak anymore and want him gone but claiming Cousins is better than him screams someone who just looks at the box score and has never actually watched cousins play.

The irony of this when it comes to Dak is almost too much lol

Forgive us for not seeing this all world talent Dak possess lololol

We forgetting Cousins carved up the niners defense last season?
Meanwhile in 3 games we had a qb who completely filled his diaper vs them?
Edit: Without his #1 WR too

Aggregate stats mean nothing compared to that. Putting up 40+ on the giants and Commanders inflates a lot.

You are not Jerry Jones.

I don't apologize for Dak and I don't pretend to have any answers....but, I am smart enough to know that Dak isn't the only problem. Take the damn blinders off....I thought you were a visionary....look at the big picture and don't get caught in their tunnel vision.....or, is it too late for that.

Facts are facts, your ignoring them wont make them go away

8 years is “the big picture”
2-8 in playoffs
No back to back playoff wins

I was thinking about this aspect last night. Their offense continued to function with a rookie receiver having to be the lead guy for much of the year while we had to trade a first round pick to bring one in.

Daks entire career he's been gifted a cadillac of a team vs what Cousins has ever had yet puts up damn near identical stats.

Dak is nowhere near worth the extra money. Honestly I would pay Cousins over Dak.

I honestly believe Dak wouldn't have won 5 or 6 games with that Vikings team in 2022

At least Dak has enough talent to get an MVP vote unlike Kirk Cousins. I don't even want to defend Dak this comparison is stupid and you are just trying to troll.

I don't have a problem other than my dislike of haters. If it was reasonable, I would have no issue with a discussion. Your problem is you can't keep from butting in and coming to the rescue of your crew.

Well, there's your problem.

Nobody is here to, or even capable of, rescuing anyone.

Your very choice of words verifies everything I pointed out.

You're here to fight, and nothing else. You can't even be honest with yourself. Accusing me here, and others elsewhere, of the very things you do on a daily basis. Comes across as very insecure.

If every one of the "haters" left right now you would probably never post again. You live for this stuff. Shame since you have so much potential...

 

[Vtwin]

That would be like ignoring the bird poop in the middle of my windshield.
That and the fact that if I ignore you, you can still see my posts and attack me without me knowing. Keeping my enemies close.....

FREEDOM!!!!!!

Educate us with stats and numbers, not your personal feelings, about how Dak is clearly the more talented QB.

I made my case in the OP with numbers and stats.

Make yours.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I’m just laughing that this is the example you used for “elite money” (the 28th highest paid WR) instead of just saying “I was wrong” lolololol

What about Jason Pierre Paul? Stop laughing and pay attention….

All you care about are numbers. The numbers don't matter on the field. You are the classic person that just reads the box score and thinks they understand everything.

 

[Sarge]

Let’s put it this way. I’d rather have Cousins.

I asked you to educate me.

What am I missing?

What makes Dak this clearly superior talent compared to Cousins?

Help me understand.

It is the sensible take.

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.

I noticed you avoided LEADERSHIP in your comparison.
