Lets talk about Rush connecting with receivers

[NotForLong]

we need to chill with Rush. he has played well enough but mistakes will come. he’s a backup for a reason. Glad he’s holding the fort down though.

He is . . . ALL WE GOT. . . and this is the year of Micah so maybe He will be Just Enough

I wish He had a stronger arm but He will be fine

When Peters and Gallup get here He will have a lot more weapons to solidify the offense

We all must take into account the fact that He and Noah have a bond that elevates Noah into a boa fide weapon. . . Lamb Gallup and Noah are Now all better because of it

 

[NotForLong]

Well, it's easy to see that the Dak Boo Birds are having a picnic right now. Let's see how long it lasts!

Cowboys just beat the Super Bowl representative . . . That s good ?. . Right?

How 'bout Dem Cowboys . . . Right?

Smallest bad detail pmsl.
It's the ignorance of persons like yourself, who even after these two games continue to refute any criticism of Dak, that makes us in the middle of the debate side with the Dak Haters as they have the logical high ground on this one.

So you are calling me ignorant?

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.

That fan is his Dad I believe. He only really connected with Brown last night

I have a clue. Show me stats? You made the claim, show me stats on both. Eye test are not stats.

Stats stats stats stats stats. Stats Prescott. People watched the game last night and the footage was evident particularly when it mattered most. If you are unable to recognise the difference between how Prescott has played since the Denver game last season and how Rush played in the two games he has started against two good teams then that's on your own bias and I won't be wasting my time to dig up stats for you. What's even worse is that Rush is arguably not even a top 60 QB in the NFL so the difference between Prescott and Rush should be HUGE yet it has been shown to be minimal - that should be embarrassing for Prescott. You will claim it's a small sample size and of course it is. But the fact the Cowboys are 2-0 with Rush as the starter with the same coaching and players as Prescott and not against bad teams speaks volumes. The offensive line, coaching, receivers etc are not as bad as some people made out. The Cowboys have won games without Dak Prescott and they would have won more games if Dalton didn't play behind a decimated offensive line - the worst the team has had over the past 6-7 years. I'm afraid the problem evolves around one common dominator - enter Mr Dak Prescott - his boneheaded final play in the play offs against the 49ers essentially sums him up.

It's strange how the offensive line didn't commit many penalties yesterday unlike when Dak is under centre. Weird coincidence...I wonder what the stats are for offensive penalties committed with Prescott and Rush as QB.

 

[NotForLong]

There are several more games to be played before Rush is likely to seriously be considered as Dak's replacement. I'm certainly not one to make claims that Dak is deserving of being guaranteed an indefinite right to be the starting QB if he can't deliver better performances vs. good teams.

The Cowboys' front office isn't one to take Dak or their financial commitment to him lightly enough to award Rush his starting position anytime in the few weeks that remain on this season's schedule. If Dak returns to stink it up in much the same fashion that he did versus Tampa Bay, it may be entirely possible that serious reflections about replacing him could take place. In exclusion of that happening,

I can't see this FO moving in the direction of relegating Dak to the bench very soon. Their commitment to him financially and otherwise just doesn't ring as something they'll take lightly. I'm expecting to see them giving Dak every opportunity that they can to respect him. If he fails badly to justify being a starter, things may change. Anything's possible, that's a given.

The People have spoken . . . There is revolution in the Air . . . And the people refuse to eat Cake

Cooper could excel over this time that Dak is out . . . especially if the Cowboys some how beat the Rams . . Cooper may not let go of the Reigns

Just in case nobody mentioned it. Fan in the gif is his dad just FYI...

I ignored your 1st part as a rant...so...this part....
OL can have bad games as a QB can have a bad game. They got coached and showed improvement in game #2. Which is expected.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

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

Dak locks on to his first read and doesn't go through his progressions quickly. He's horrible at reading a zone defense. Couple that with being horribly inaccurate which causes throws that are consistently behind their receivers, it's no mystery why Dak Prescott is having trouble finding receivers.

 

[WoodysGirl]

We can't just celebrate Rush w/o downing Dak, huh? lol

Rush played solid and exactly what you want out of your backup. It'll be interesting to see once teams get some solid film on him.

 

[Denim Chicken]

This is the Andy Dalton convo all over again, lol

 

[Section446]

Because Dak isn't a very smart person, he lacks the ability to read a defense and go through his progressions. Whatever direction Dak's head is in when the ball is snapped is where he's going... if option #1 isn't open, he's just going to Shultz.

Much like pitchers have certain pitches they throw better than others (ex. slider vs. change up), Dak has always struggled throwing the slant.

How many times have we seen him throw behind a receiver instead of hitting him in stride which is the entire point of a slant? Oftentimes this passes are caught but there’s hidden yardage that being missed due to the receiver having to break stride, leap or dive/slide to make a play on the ball.

One, but not the only reason. The fact was that Coop still faced pressure, however, he didn't wilt and panic and was able to perform and maintain form.
Same 'ole excuse given by so many, Dak can perform when he's surrounded by stars, when the onus falls on him he so frequently falters.

Yep and he's easily panicked.

... .. this is why its a waste having CeeDee with Dak and why Coop appears to have much better chemistry.

 

[NotForLong]

You totally misread my point. It's not a matter of surplanting Dak, it's that in a situation where the Offense was so poor and you change one element resulting in a palpable improvement ....the pressure is definitely on Dak to perform.
Rush isn't the answer, but it gave us a glimpse of what our Offense CAN do without Dak.

Exactly

 

[Hawkeye0202]

How long can we keep winning with a slimmed down playbook?

Bingo! There's a reason we jumped on them for 14 quick points and did nothing until the game-winner. To suggest Rush is an NFL starting QB after ONE game is silly.

 

[NotForLong]

No, I'm Rusty, he's Rush lol. I'm not sure Cooper Rush is that either way. He's played with the starters the whole Preseason. I think that's why he's got a good rapport with them.

Pretty Ironic Don't you think

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Pretty Ironic Don't you think

Or a telling sign that the coaches bottled it by not playing Dak in the preseason. Hence the lack of connection.
