It’s a mystery why back up QB are conceived to be best QB when they do their job. Even with a cloud over Dak’s head is Rush the better QB. Remember when we didn’t think Rush was the 2 ?
So with your logic, Drew Bledsoe was a better QB than Tom Brady; Tom Brady just did his job as a backup really well. LOL okay!

Well, it would seem to me that Rush still has time to improve. After all, he's only played with the 1's on a few occasions. If he already sees the field well & makes on time, on target throws shouldn't reps with the starters give him an opportunity to settle in and get comfortable with other aspects of the game?

Rust is never good

However I think Rush has officially proved himself a competent backup. Id love to lock him in as a #2 in the offseason. I think he is somewhat limited, but plays confident in real games and takes care of the ball. Those two things are important for a backup QB

Some people apparently don't want that to happen. The same people that go on war path crusades when you say something negative about Dak are on here bashing Cooper. I guy playing well and winning.

Of course only time will tell...but why fans can't support Cooper, for now at least, is proof they only root for a player and not the team.

Dak and Rush are at worse a wash. This myth that Dak is a good QB is beyond me, I don't know what you all are watching.
This is a top notch take here.

I have heard it all now....:facepalm:

They fixed your title but I hope the Rust jokes keep going!

The proof is in the pudding. His record is 2-0 as a starter
If that's the proof, what was Dak's record his first season? I'm off the Dak train, but I can't say Rush is the better QB. His first half was pretty good yesterday, but his second half, not so much.

We'll see what happens in the next few games. It's too soon for me to Rush to judgement, especially after his preseason games.

Why, OP?

Because you want it to be that way?

Give Rush a chance and you might be surprised. You wouldn't be saying this about Dak if he never got the chance.

Rush being possibly better than Dak is a good thing, but you all seem to try and make it sound like a bad thing.

I think Rush is just a bad preseason QB. He has had two very similar performances in the regular season. And I think what he is doing is repeatable. He isnt really doing anything special the DC's are going to catch on tape and adjust to. He is pretty much protecting the ball and taking what is given to him

Rush is one of those odd guys that doesn't look good in practice but can play well in games.

It's possible the light goes on when the bright lights come on. Let's hope he keeps it up until our savior returns.

I misjudged Rush based on his preseason play with the 2nd, 3rd team.

He commands the first team rather well. If everyone does their job, Rush can get you through a game. In both games that Rush has won, the offensive line has done a great job for him. But that tells me it's something other than just the line. And when I look at all things going on out there, I'm seeing that they are getting rid of the ball a lot faster with Rush under center.

Whatever Dak does while he's rehabbing, he should be taking mental reps and work on making the right read and getting the ball out quicker.

I'm going to blame Moore for the first game. Yep, I said it. And I was wrong about Rush. But Dak has to take an introspective look to see what's working and what's not.

Saints fans are ripping Winston today, so Dak isn't the only one who's fanbase turned on him after playing the Bucs.

If that's the proof, what was Dak's record his first season? I'm off the Dak train, but I can't say Rush is the better QB. His first half was pretty good yesterday, but his second half, not so much.

2nd half was a more conservative, bleed the clock gameplan.
