I mean it's literally everything you've pointed out to me, Stilt! This is basically based on a convo we once had in a Cage vs Blade thread in which you pointed out to me that adamantium itself has more feats than Cage, and recognized how much faster he is. That's why i was surprised is all. I'm not mad or nothin if it came off that way

So you think Blade beats Cage 1on1, but loses to DD 1on1. Blade actually has regenerative hf in the battlefield. He’s been impaled by a sword and kept fighting. He is demonstrably faster than DD and shown he can rip heads off with his bare hands. What can DD do to him on his own?
His hf was abysmal in most of his appearances... it's in the most recent comics (starting from his stint as Ronin) when it started working properly. Will it last? Who knows - certainly not Marvel. They never cared to define the Daywalker powerset and they retcon the shit out of it whenever they're bored.
Impaled by a sword and kept fighting? When? I only recall him barely recovering when it missed all of his vital organs. Something that RL humans can do. The other time, it knocked him the f*ck out.
Matt has speed feats that would put Blade to shame... like deflecting bullets after they've been fired, numerous times. With nothing but his silly billy clubs.
Don't get me started on strength/striking feats. Ripping heads off is cute compared to stuff DD's done.
This reminds me of that recent IF vs Spider-Man thread. On paper, it seems like Spidey has damn near every advantage. But somehow, it's Danny who has steamrolled the entire Wrecking Crew (using his trademark technique only a single time, against Thunderball), while Peter has a history of bending over for Wrecker.

It's okay 👆
Apples and oranges. The whole thing might seem weird, but Daredevil is not just a blind lawyer, he's a crazy skilled ninja with hypersenses, who assraped Ultron with a stick.
Handling a one-dimensional brick wouldn't be as hard as competing against one of the greatest streets Marvel has to offer. Especially when you're in possession of the superb anti-brick weapon.
Tagging Daredevil with said weapon is a different story --- we're talking about the guy whose superhero job is dodging projectiles from villains who claim to never miss...
You're right. Tbf this was pre-Ronin:
And I know DD has that car feat, but a one-handed head-ripping while otherwise standing motionless is probably beyond DD's wheelhouse?
And finally he has demonstrated real superspeed. He get's behind people who sneak up from behind, he can slash opponents to bits before they can react, and I remember he even fought Spitfire to a draw who is an actual speedster!
That's still a really could point about how DD's standard is evading Bullseye, etc. I was just taken aback by it

Skill advantage.Stats are not everything, especially against a top street with thousands of feats like DD.
In theory, Blade could blitz both and one-shot them. In practice, he's an obscure character with little feats.
This argument just no longer applies to Blade. We've seen him heal from his intestines being ripped out. Blades had consistent appearances for over 5 years now. He has plenty of feats. He puts down Cage pretty quickly. I'd need to see more of what Daredevil has done.

I also seem to recall him being stabbed by two big swords and being lit on fire?
