Do you really want to know why or you just want to bury Dak?

If you REALLY want to know....they manned up on our WRs this week and dared us to beat them. To Coop's credit, he did.

They don't play Dak like that because he will put 40 up on them....

That is the difference.
Lol, that is so comically football dumb, it should get you banned.

coop is a career 60% comp passer compared to Dal at 66%. I can’t figure out why you would make make such an asinine comment ever, let alone on a day where Coop completed 53% of his attempts. I’m guessing numbers aren’t your thing.
Lol. So stupid. It's obvious Cooper can lead a guy in stride you fool. You want stats, Cooper is 2-0 outside the NFC east. Whats Dak? Go look pal, guaranteed it's not above 500.

Educate me....please.

Do you honestly not remember the old bash of Dak that they were "loading the box" to stop Zeke and begging Dak to beat them? Have you not been here since 2018 where Dak has basically had the #1 offense in the league since then?

It's ok, i know you have moved on with the feeble minded to think Cooper Rush is better than Dak. HAHAHAHAH

Its no coincidence. A rusty Cooper Rush is moved up from the practice squad and clicks better with our receivers than Prescott. Rush lead receivers with anticipation and no back bending receptions. Cooper Rush was the one who lead the Cowboys over the Vikings last year with both Amari and Ceedee going over 100 yards+ receiving.

The fan in this gif has a Rush jersey on. Get it while its hot.

Probably came with Rush's family.

I'm more interested in why Cooper can find open receivers and Dak cannot. That's very disturbing.

I think first and foremost, it's important to acknowledge how much better game plan we had. I believe Dak could do the same if we ran the ball when he was playing. Unfortunately, KM believes he's got Peyton Manning, and we can simply abandon the run.

My hope is that we continue to pound the rock, especially when Dak comes back.

But hey, if Dak falters or the offense flounders, then bench his butt.

Rush has played well twice against good teams in important games and got it done in the end. Dak disappears.

The receivers have been nonexistent the past 10-12 games...except when Rush played.

Rush is a backup. But really....so is Dak.

The truth is right in your face. You just refuse to look at it.

Do you remember when Dak almost had 3 1,000 yard wr's?

Did he suddenly forget how to do that or what?

You have to understand, he is seeing the same coverages that guys like Mahomes are seeing. Mahomes struggled with it mightily in the playoffs last year. Dak is going to struggle with it too...especially with a handicapped play caller.

Cooper is seeing the "we dare you to beat us" defense.

Like i said, he did and kudos to him. I am pulling for him to have a good run here and give us a serious backup qb.

Your narratives are just not accurate.


Also, you have to tip your cap to TB. They have a great defense...they shut down NO today and only a garbage td late gave them a td. 1 td and 3 picks for Winston.

Who’s the guy who said Rush wouldn’t make any other roster in the NFL? Raise your hand.

I did. I even said he wouldn’t start on the top 10 college teams in the country. His inexperience and lack of arm strength keeps him vulnerable.

A sample size of 2 entire games doesn’t prove or disprove my assertion. I hope like hell that I’m wrong and thoroughly enjoyed watching a Cowboys quarterback march the offense up and down the field.

Rush looked ok and the ending was clutch, but playing Chido and Eli Apple are a part of the reason. Tampa does have a slightly better defense. Great win though, not gonna be upset or complain at all

I'm not judging either of our QB's after a single game.

I will say that it took a great defense plus a little luck to win this game.

No, he just lost the confidence in his arm, especially when Denver gave the league a presentation that all you need to drop back in coverage. Granted if we had a more balanced game plan it would open up the backfield.....but even then both Brown and Lamb looked a lot better with Rush's ball placement.

Let’s play what if…?

what if Cooper takes us on a big win streak and looks terrific doing it?
Dak takes an extra few weeks to recover and comes back….as starter?

They played defense like he was a guy they just elevated from their practice squad.

That is not what Dak sees....he sees the same coverages as the "Elite" in the league...minus a competent OC.

Look at Dak's last 10 games or so. Just utter crap.

He has zero confidence. His physical and mental limitations are crystal clear. This is what he is.
