Lets talk about Rush connecting with receivers

[NotForLong]

OK, I get it that you're all in on Dak getting ousted and Cooper Rush taking over -- there's no doubt about it. In the clear light of day, as much as you and some others want to see that happen ASAP, it's not over 'til the fat lady sings. She might be warming up her vocal cords in the background, but there's more to this story yet to be told. Let's not get ahead of ourselves and assume the "changing of the guard" is imminent.

Cooper Rush must still beat the Giants and the Commanders to solidify his standings. Dak may or may ot return to be saddled with the dubious honor of competing vs. the Rams . . . a more than difficult task, to be sure. Let see how things shake out. Let's not assume the Dallas FO will be jumping at their chance to rid the Cowboys of Dak before they're totally convinced he's done. We'll see if the "fat lady" shows up or not. Anything can happen and nobody knows what to expect until it actually happens.

I hear what you are saying but you are missing one important point . . . I am not happy Dak is getting ousted . . . He is only in the 2nd year of a 4 year contract . . . its gonna be a real process to drop him . . . Too much Drama

All I am saying is the writing was on the wall. . . And now everything from the OC to the O Line to the Wr and Rbs have been lambasted as the reason for this teams struggles . . . Yet lo and behold a PS QB in week 1 beat the Super Bowl Representative . . . all the while everyone are commenting on how well the team is playing . . . all those Dak escape goats can all of a sudden do their jobs

Only difference being a QB that gets the ball put of His Hands . . . Not even a highly talented QB . . . just your average Practice Squad former backup of the Giants

It is what it is

Am I routing for Cooper . . . Yes because He is all we got . . . They are not bringing anyone in and Dak can't do what Cooper can do . . . Play QB

If you watch the game like I did, we saw Dak cheering Cooper Rush on like the trooper he's always been. I think Dak will do all he can to keep his job intact whenever he returns to action. If Jerry and Stephen decide to make Cooper Rush play against the Rams to prove his belonging as a starter, who knows what might occur? This thing will play out as surely as night follows day.

I think it won't matter whether Dak or Rush plays the Rams, it's unlikely that either of them would be very likely to win. But then, a big surprise is always possible. This thing isn't over by any means. There are hurdles and bumps in the road to overcome for both of our QBs to get past. The tests that lie ahead will be interesting, no doubt about that. I'm sure we'll all be watching with keen interest.

Yep....i saw that too. Nice. I wish we would follow his lead HERE!. Lets cheer on coop....and worry about the other stuff later.

Rush is nowhere as good as Prescott

How so? The only thing Dak has over Rush is arm strength...from what I saw, Rush is better at literally everything else: reads, defenses, pocket awareness, accuracy, speed of release...you're going to have to quantify that statement.

 

[mahoneybill]

What I don't get, what I truly don't get at all. Is how we do more rollout stuff with Cooper rush than dak. I cannot fathom why we don't take advantage of dak's ability to run the ball. I don't care if it increases the injury risk. Dak isn't the same player when he isn't using his feet. He is not a strict pocket passer.

I saw josh Allen running at least once every set of downs last week. Making plays. Rodgers still does it at almost 40.

rodgers has excellent lateral movement. Small spaces to open the angle for a better throw and at the same time help the receiver. Something dark needs to learn to do

Lol You’re gonna have to learn the game better

 

[Vandyr]

Lol You’re gonna have to learn the game better

Thats it? lol

 

[Whirlwin]

Thats it? lol

Yes it’s just that simple. Maybe if you watch 10,000 football games you won’t need to have Tony Romo explain it to you lol

 

[Captain-Crash]

hurt feelings are all you going to get when you hitch your wagon to the first turd that falls out of the cows' butt because you don't like Romo.

come on Romo haters chime in and prove me wrong, that you love dak. lmao so sad.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Awwwww poor Dak was Antsy . . . And Poor Dak doesn't like to be Antsy . . .

Can you imagine. . . . The $40 million dollar QB doesn't like to feel Antsy

Amazing

The point is not what Dak *likes* but his limitations.

 

[black label]

rush eats ballz rofl

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

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.

If Dak put up a performance like Rush's yesterday I guarantee he would be getting raked over the coals right now (given, Dak is a $40 million player so that could be fair). That being said, to say Cooper Rush is the straight up better player in a vacuum is absolute lunacy.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

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

Rush actually was cut at the end of this offseason and not a single NFL team even moved to sign him to their practice squad so actually it is just flat out reality.

You're under the wrong impression that Dak is "ousted." He's not ousted until such time as Rush has been declared as the starter once Dak is available. He's not available as the starter yet because of his injured hand and for no other reason.

Don't assume Dak is ousted when he's not. You're just making something up that isn't true. Panic isn't the answer. You're not the one to declare that Dak is finished as a starter. That decision is for the front office to make and nobody else, including yourself. There nothing to do but to wait for them to decide who starts and who doesn't. Try being an observer, like everyone else. It will play out.

We'll learn of the FO's decision in due time. What you or I say or do has nothing to do with Dak's future. Rush is Dak's backup and that's all he is at the present time. You're not concerned about Dak in the least. It's Rush you want. There's no "writing on the wall." No decision has been made by the FO until it's made. Forget the false narrative that you're trying so hard to promote.

You know what's funny to me? Seeing all these ADULT people arguing over something they CAN'T CONTROL. Jerry is the one with the strings while we're wasting time debating over this and that. If you want to make a difference in Cowboys nation, tell these things to Jerry/Stephen, not some Joe FAN.

If Jerry and Stephen decide to make Cooper Rush play against the Rams to prove his belonging as a starter, who knows what might occur? This thing will play out as surely as night follows day. So far, this season has afforded many surprises and it just started.

I think it won't matter whether Dak or Rush plays the Rams, it's unlikely that either of them would be very likely to win. But then, a big surprise is always possible. This thing isn't over by any means. There are hurdles and bumps in the road to overcome for both of our QBs to get past. The tests that lie ahead will be interesting, no doubt about that. I'm pretty sure we'll all be watching with keen interest.

After the Cowboys beat the Giants I wonder if Prescott will be so vociferous in his support of Rush against Washington. At the moment Rush is an undrafted practice squad QB barely a backup in the league earning diddly squat. He's not a threat to him in any way. But if the receivers and players are generally happy with positive media coverage after winning games without him and if Cooper balls out down in Cleveland then Prescott will feel a bit of pressure especially if he comes back to play against the Rams or Eagles.

I'm willing to wait and see how both Rush and Dak perform to get a better perspective on any comparison that's likely come between them. As badly as Dak played vs. Tampa, it's hard to know what to expect from him, upon his eventual return. I'm seeing the FO being reluctant to sit Dak on the bench, without making certain he's not performing any better than what Rush has thus far. They've been committed to Dak, both financially and verbally, both in the past and the present. They'll give him every opportunity to make his comeback successful.

What Jerry and son say and do certainly has historically revealed that they're reluctant to change their ways of thinking. It'll be an intriguing revelation, yet to be seen, for certain. I'll await Dak's and Rush's performances yet to come with keen interest. I'm sure Jerry, Stephen and their staff will make certain to do the same. The remainder of this team's future might very well hang in the balance. It'll be interesting to see if Rush's upswing continues and if Prescott's downturn persists, as well. It seems anything's possible, right now.

I agree with you in that if the Cowboys beat the Giants and Washington with Rush then bring back Prescott against the Rams and Eagles - and lose both, it will be interesting what they do at that juncture. The Cowboys would be 3-3 whilst the Eagles could be 5-1 or 6-0. Even in such a scenario, I still think Prescott would start against the Lions as if he's left out at any point when healthy then he's pretty much done yet they are tied in with him due to his contract.

 

[GINeric]

Nice to see a QB throw receivers open every now and again. I haven't seen that for the Cowboys since 2015.

Its also nice to see the coordinator balance the offense out with more of a running game to keep the defense guessing. I haven't seen that since 2017.....
