I was trying to find a comp for Cousins currently in the league and looked into Ryan since he’s one of the few QB’s who consistently starts games and doesn’t get injured. Ryan plays in a more balanced offense than the run focused Vikings offense, but it’s uncanny just how similar these two have been performance wise.
