The 4th down throw was behind Brown

Oh yes you did. You cited Dak’s 68% to make your point about how awesome he is. The whole truth would have been to give the stat and also disclose it included 6 games we won against doormats. And yes you certainly can get inflated stats against sub standard competition, as he did. And how can you even argue; Dak exposed himself again in the Tampa Bay game. And he misses reads and throws every game, it’s just a matter of degree. You should go find some stats that prove how awesome Jerry is as a GM and try to spin that…lol. Man, how you can even try as the whole world saw the TB game but here you are…
Every qb inflates their stats against lesser comp. Brady feasted on the afc east for decades. Rodgers got to abuse the bears and lions who have been dumpster fires the majority of his career. Making a claim dak is the only qb is about as braindead as it gets

How have I acted?

Responding to the lunacy of saying Rush is better than Dak? Ya, sorry, not going to let that stuff propagate.

I said in the preseason that our backup QBs were absolute trash. Rush proved he is a competent backup. For that I am very happy because this season isn't a loss after all.
So if you are flat wrong about cooper being trash.....it certainly is possible you are wrong about the other stuff.....right?

I never said it was only him, Einstein. Read much ? I simply pointed out he is among the qbs that has inflated stats. I wonder how Jerry keeps selling Dak and other things to brain stems - and then you post…lol.

Brown had to slow down but it wasn’t behind him. He got hit on the throw too.

It’s very telling about posters who think Rush is as good as or better than Prescott. Just bank that about them and their knowledge.
It doesn't matter what fans think, it's about winning games first and foremost isn't it still that way.
Or is it strictly business these days, I would be ashamed to think the latter.
Sometimes and in this environment specifically if you want to win it has to come from vocal players like Parsons, this has to be a player's team if that makes sense.
Locker rooms become divided easily, but the right chemistry and can solidify a team, and team captains like Parsons changes an environment, even a culture.
MP is changing this defense first,, dont think his influence will end just there.
If you're just sitting on the fence as a casual observer, just playing neutral observer, the best hope for Jerrys agenda upon Daks speedy return will be with a MP endorsement.
Just saying, this might get thick before it gets thin.

I could be wrong about a lot of stuff...

Dak isn't one of them though.

What was arguably the biggest play in the game was really a late throw across the middle that Noah reached back and snatched out of the air.. Then the TD was high and outside and Brown had to climb the ladder a bit to go get it. Yet people have been downright giddy about how Rush "hit receivers in stride" and all that thinly veiled shots at Dak noise. If Dak makes that same throw to Brown all we would have heard was how if he woulda led him he would have had a chance to run after the catch. In reality throwing it behind was absolute the right ball placement because if he leads him Noah probably gets blown up by the safety and maybe even gets the ball dislodged and Cincy has the ball at our 40 yard line. It's probably a very different ballgame then.

The point of this is that you people talkin bout how well Rush threw the ball must have been getting a beer on the 5-6 near INTs he tossed. And why do I mention near INTs? Because people were beside themselves when Dak had a similar total of near misses in a game last season. And if I'm not mistaken we won that game too. This is not to disparage the game Rush had.. He had a nice game as a backup. He managed the game and didn't LOSE it. And made 5-6 throws when he absolutely had to in order to win it. I call that "Eli Manninging." I hope he does it 4-5 more times..
Ok what's the point of this thread. A women against the runner up SB champions with a backup LT and QB we won. But there is always a few who nit picks and finds a reason to complain! Lol

Imagine cherry picking 1 bad game which every good player has no matter of position. He will be the 11th highest paid qb after the season is over. We cannot move on from dak until after 2023 anyway.

Here's the point for that anti-Dak cult: The guy who has led the team to 20 points in both his starts is nowhere near as good as the guy who has only FAILED to exceed 20 points in 8 of his last 40 starts.. and has topped 30 points in 24 of them. One guy gets you 20 points in 100% of his starts.. the other guy gets you 30 points in 60% of his. Sorry but that is absolutely worth the money. Remember when you idiots giddily proclaimed that Andy Dalton was going to "take the offense to the next level" when Dak went down in 2020? Because Dalton was a "real quarterback." And the offense promptly started scoring 20 points per game less.. I'm glad threads like this make your ilk mad..

P.S. Dak's cap hit is 19 million this year.. Since the cap is 210 million.... well I'll let you work out that math on your own.. It'll be good mental exercise for ya..

I'll have to say Ronnie that's some great work cherry picking those stats because what Dak did 40 starts ago has no bearing on what he's doing now or 30 starts ago or 20 starts ago
Let's talk about what's happened lately
And you know what just for Spitz and giggles we're going to leave out the 51 points he scored against the eagles with their backups in and we're also going to leave out the 56 points scored against a totally injured ravaged Commander team as Cooper Rush did not have the opportunity to play any such compromise teams.

16 against the broncos 43 against Atlanta 9 against KC 33 against the raiders 27 against the saints 21 against the Giants 22 against the cards and in his last two starts 17 against the 49ers and 3 against the buccaneers.
Add all that up brother and divide by 9 and what you come up with is slightly better than Cooper Rush at 20 points a game but you are right it is more than 20 points a game it's like a whole 21 points a game.

And the last two starts are headed in a downward spiral. Could be cause for some concern. But you didn't hear that from me Carry on.

Rush made a few plays when he needed to but he at least made them. I’m a Dak fan and I can tell you he’s been off for a while and it showed in week one. It’s kind of easy to top that performance so whatever Rush does is going to be better.

The real question is what’s wrong with Dak. He’s holding the ball and not throwing with confidence. His foot work is all over the place and doesn’t step into any throws. If he comes back playing like that we’re toast.

Great post and truly what's important what is the matter with DAk????

Full off season program with no injury to rehab and nothing to work on but his game with the number ones.
Really surprised that he didn't come in on fire at the top of his game it's very strange and definitely a cause for some concern.

He was held out of preseason to make sure he was 100% just like the previous year when he hit the ground running right out of the gate this year was very different hard to say what's wrong.

Yup.

I just found it incredibly telling how Romo twisted and contorted to make it sound like a great throw.

He has an agenda.
Romo was talking as if he wanted to see, Rush take Dak's job. There was just too much Rush love in his commentary.

I understand the point of this thread

and this comment isn’t meant towards the OP

but the people who nitpick completions are absolute idiots
Probably half the passes in the nfl aren’t perfect throws
That’s why receivers get paid to make plays too lol

So Dak has only had one bad game ? I’ll have some of what you and Jerry are smoking. However, it’s true that he is our qb1 until after 2023 anyway and his being 11th highest paid could be worse for sure.

2023 draft is time for Dak's replacement if we can find him.
