I will practice restraint.  Thank you for the reminder.  Apologies to those offended by my colorful language and use of sexually charged terminology to talk about Dallas Goedert, who, by the way, is my favorite pick in the past few seasons.  Watching him run after the catch is exhilarating.   I assume the plan is trade him or Ertz after this season.  Howie's gonna earn his Wheaties making the right move.

You're trying to compare apples across to oranges.  I could care less about Dak's ability to run -- they play a different style and you can't penalize Cousins for that.  Dak has had far more to work with than Cousins; Cousins had very little in WAS, and didn't have a run game in MIN until last season.

To say that Dak has played at a consistent level since he was a rookie is foolish; he dropped off badly in his play his second season until they brought him Cooper to be a WR1 for him -- even with Zeke their offense was anemic before Cooper came in.  

If I had one game I had to win; that's where they're equal -- I wouldn't trust either of them.

First it’s i couldn’t care less. That’s just a pet peeve. If you could care less then you legitimately could indeed care less.

second, His ability to run gives him another dimension cousins doesn’t Really  have or utilize anymore which imo makes him a more dangerous QB when he has weapons than cousins. Hence why his passing numbers might not always be as high as cousins but his legs give him that production he misses through the air when compared to cousins.  Also This helps out zeke with when they use run option as he’s a legitimate threat to take off and run  

as for his rookie year, he had better weapons for 2 years over cousins however cousins had been in Washington and in a nfl system And learning at the nfl level for multiple year whereas Dak as a rookie still went out and put up similar numbers to cousins over that time. His second year it dropped off as he lost zeke For like 6 games, their line had a bunch of injured and he had an over the hill declining Dez and witten as his top 2 targets all season. Not exactly great. Having good talent matters to success.  it’s why we saw wentz go from 2016 Rookie (with arguably the worst WR corps in the nfl) to 2017 Mvp. Now wentz can carry a team With much less than Dak as he proved it last year down the stretch. However Dak isn’t nearly as talented as wentz but we knew that. Rookie and second year cousins i also think would struggle with why wentz and Dak dealt with in their rookie and second year. 

Also cousins had Stefon diggs, thielen and Rudolph since he’s gotten to Minnesota and last year he had cooks. I’d Argue Minnesota’s weapons the last two years were as good if not better than Dallas. Imo cooks/Murray (11 games in 2018), Rudolph, diggs, thielen > zeke, Cooper (half a season in 2018) and Gallup. 
 

averages for both the last two years:

dak: 744-1122 (66.3%), 4394 yards, 26tds, 9.5 ints, 291 rushing yards and 4.5 tds

cousins: 732-1050 (69.7%), 3950.5 yards, 28tds, 8ints, 93 rushing yards and 1 td.

Both are correct usage -- you need to read more.

Secondly, it's not important -- no one (other than you) wants to get into the minutiae of a Dak vs Cousins debate.  The point is, neither are in the top 10 of NFL QBs to anyone other than their most ardent supporters.  Dak is worth nowhere near $35M per season AAV -- that's why a few people have already pointed out that he should be signing the offer -- if it is actually what has been reported.

No actually the only reason it’s accepted now is because people Like yourself for years have used it wrong. Not read more. It’s more cause people like yourself rather just keep saying it wrong and continue to do so then learn the correct way of doing so. Legitimately the way you wrote it if you could care less then you actually can. that makes no sense when you actually read it that way  

It’s the same with people using regardless and irregardless incorrectly. It’s accepted as people get what you trying to say doesn’t mean it’s correct  

but that doesn’t matter because his agent isn’t going to let him sign that. Knowing he can play it out just like cousin who is not a top 10 quarterback and still potentially dwarf the 106 mil guaranteed. The 35 mil per year means nothing it’s all about guaranteed. He can take the security or him and his agent can be selfish and just say tag me twice (Likely gets tagged next year too) I’ll make 69.3 Guaranteed then I’ll hit free agency and then make even more guaranteed money than the 106 he’s going to see over 5 years.

It actually makes sense for Dak’s agent to ask for more guaranteed. Basically he’s guaranteed this year 31.5 million if he just signs the tag. If he’s getting 106 million guaranteed over the 5 years. In just playing Under the tag he’s making 30 percent of that in just one year. If he’s tagged again in 2021, he’d be making 65.3% of that in just two years and would then likely be able to go to free agency and make More than the 106 guaranteed Over the five years if you use Kirk cousins as a model. He’d have 69.3 from the two franchise tags in 2 years and then he likely could get 80-100 mil guaranteed( if he performs the next two years on the tag) on the free agent market. 

 

Kirk Cousin's agent should be in the hall of fame.  Or prison.  Can't decide which.

Not really. I got what you were hinting at but exactly what i said is why it’s become accepted because it’s been confused (wrong). Doesn’t mean it grammatically makes sense hence technically it’s wrong. why i said pet peeve. And trust me i do just fine with women. You don’t have to worry about that. 
 

Merriam-Webster treats the phrases couldn't care less and could care less as synonymous, both meaning "not concerned or interested at all." "Couldn't care less" is the older and more obvious phrase grammatically, but it has been confused for so long that both are now defined. Additionally, the example sentence "it's impossible that could care less" is the same as the intended meaning.

Our under 25 talent is pretty minimal, which made drafting a QB in round 2 and a raw, developmental LB in round 3 all the more frustrating. Add in that with missed on Darby, Jones and Douglas and then Byron Jones in FA, we had to throw more resources into a trade for Slay. 

Thankfully we had more rolls of the dice on day 3 this year. Hopefully a few of them become contributors at some point. I’m fairly optimistic on Wallace, one of the WRs and Prince. 

Darby wasn't a miss.  He was productive for a limited time and I think a lot of his decline was due to injury.  Douglas hasn't been a miss.  I don't know that I would call Douglas a miss as much as a JAG.  He can start and play OK but he's never going to be more than average. I think that's OK for a 3rd round pick.  Jones has been a miss but he has at least an opportunity to start next season.  They missed on Jones but I think that had to do with him more than their effort to sign him.  

I agree with you on the QB.  I have reservations about the LB pick but I think it was the right position.  I am just not sure if he will pan out and ultimately the team is in a much better position to evaluate talent than me.  The under 25 pool is shallow.  I mean Miles Sanders, Barnett are the only 2 returning starters.  I think there's a lot of unknown after them.  Maddox and Sweat show promise.  Dillard is a question mark.  Jones and JJaw are both 23 and could still become productive players.  Greg Ward is a possible 3rd or 4th WR.  I think that is it.

The stupid Cowboys could have traded back a few in round 1, take Love or Hurts, still get Dalton to man the job for a year, and have the kid start the following year on a super cheap rookie deal.... Instead they had to show us up and take CeeDee and have Dak siphon every drop from them as an average player. Good for them 

Dak Prescott is actually a good QB.  Right below Carson at this point and way better than Brady was last year. Close to breaking into the top ten as a QB. I do believe he is better than Love or Hurts and may stay that way. He threw for close to 5k yards last year.  Yes, he has a good OL and strong skill players but he did well. He should try to maximize his deal.  

"Couldn't care less" means you care the minimum.

"Could care less" means you care more than the minimum and could reduce your amount of caring.  

 

I couldn't pay more... means you've maxed out your payment ability.

I could pay more... means you've not maxed out your ability to pay, and could increase the payment.

Ummmmm, what?

By saying you could care less means you are essentially refusing to care less than you do.

So obviously it's contradictory to one another, therefore not correct usage for what you're implying.

Lol. Only reason it’s consider correct now is because people like yourself confused it (aka used it wrong)for years. It also says that which is what I said to you.

That’s the spirit just keep doing it wrong until it just becomes universally accepted as right cause people didn’t understand how to use the phrase/English language correctly. 

But hey keep up with the name calling. It’s a really solid job by you.

I agree that Dak is good.  I don't think he is ever going to be an MVP candidate.  I just don't think he will ever pull off the kind of mind blowing plays that Carson is able to pull off in terms of escaping from the pocket and making difficult throws.  I do think he's good enough for them to win. In some ways he reminds me of McNabb except he doesn't have McNabb's arm strength.   I also think it's concerning that he hasn't won yet.  Some of that may be due to coaching but I think there's a fair amount that is on him.  He has not played well in big games.  The criticism of him needing a talented team to win is fair.  He is taking a gamble because although the team looks very talented on paper I think there are questions.  Elliott is coming off of back to back 300 plus carry seasons.  I think there is statistical evidence that Elliott will have a down year.  https://steelersdepot.com/2017/07/stats-study-25-year-old-running-backs-following-300-touch-seasons-since-2000/  The OL is getting older and not having Frederick will impact the team.  They were an 8-8 team last season and I don't think the roster got better.  I think their losses outweigh the gains at this point especially on defense.  I think that also means the team will have to rely on the passing game more.

If Reagor has half the nasty attitude and "dog" mentality that Steve Smith had, I think we will all be very happy with that pick.  Reagor actually has more upside in my opinion.
