    active NFL players and coaches voted Kirk the 6th best QB in the NFL and the 42nd best OVERALL player in the NFL.

    Sort of.

    In 2023, the players voted him 42nd best player. The coaches & execs voted him the 12th-best quarterback, “taking the last spot in Tier 2. 50 voters had an exact 25/25 split for Cousins between Tiers 2 and 3.”

    For some context, this is Cousins’ first time cracking the second tier since 2017. In six of the previous seven years, he was a Tier 3 guy. Just two years ago, he was ranked as the league’s 18th-best QB in the same space.

    You’re coming on way too strong for a banner year for Cousins. You’re taking the 1 year that he’s getting well-regarded and then blanket calling everything else a lie. That’s not how this works. And it’s super ironic that your last sentence is, wait for it… a lie.

    Sure, it’s really more of just a mixing up of the statistics you came across than a hard lie. But it’s closer to being a lie than what you’re trying to take aim at.
