Cousins
2 year totals. 785 comp, 1,149 att, 68.3 comp%, 9,083 yards, 7.9 ypa, 54 tds, 23 ints, 99.3 rating
per game. 25-36, 69.4, 284, 7.9, 1.6/0.7 td/int
Dalton
2 year totals. 700 comp, 1,075 att, 65.1 comp%, 8,542 yards, 7.9 ypa, 51 tds, 17 ints, 98.7 rating
per game. 22-34, 64.7, 267, 7.9, 1.6/0.5 td/int
And, you could easily argue Cousins has been better the last 2 years and i wouldn't dispute it. He was one of the 12 that i counted as at least equal to Dalton.
I actually only have them separated by experience. I like Cousins a lot and feel he doesn't get the respect he deserves. I guess he and Dalton are similar in that regard as well.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
