I could say there's a reason Dak fell all the way to the 4th round and was passed up by every single team multiple teams too. Things like that happen and doesn't mean much. Just win, baby.

Rush has been better in his first 2 career starts than Dak was in his first 2 career starts.

The point is the jury is still out on Rush. We don't know what he can be because he's never really had a long enough chance. Dak got his chance and took advantage of it, but to write off Rush when he's off to a better start than Dak was in 2016 seems to be agenda driven.


Dak been in the league a year longer than Rush. But Dak's body of work laps his for a reason.

No knock on Rush, but please stop comparing the two. Rush is playing very good ball right now but he's not better than Dak. Lets just enjoy Rush leading our team effectively while he's in there and hopefully he goes on a hot streak.

BTW, this “ability” of Dak to read the defense goes back to his second season, when they tried giving him more responsibility, but he was throwing pick 6s and then Linehan had to go back to running Zeke like 20 plus times a game.

I mean it’s OK to check out once, but to check out twice when you got three yards to go with the best OL and RG in football.

I see what you're saying, but thats just one game. Did Moore say Dak did this his whole career???

And i said I "highly doubt" Dak would set himself up for failure by doing so. When he audibles, he expects each guy on offense to win their match-ups just like the guys on offense expect Dak to make the right play.

Unfortunately that hasn't always been the case for either of them at times.

But everytime an audible doesn't work, it doesn't mean its solely Dak's fault. Guys got to win their match-ups. The Bucs and the Bengals defenses are on 2 different levels. Im sure Moore would look good against that Bucs defense tho....
That's just the one time it's been publicly out there.

If Dak is comfortable enough audibling out of almost half of Moore's called runs in a game last season then you know it's happening a lot still now.

I don't believe Dak is "setting himself up for failure". I just don't think he sees things well. He might believe he's making the right call, but it's not.

Dak's body of work laps Rush's because Dak's been given the chance to be a long term starter.

Rush hasn't.

Maybe Rush would stink and maybe he wouldn't, but the truth is he's never gotten a long term shot. He's just played well in the 2 chances he's gotten so far.

I can see both sides of the argument, but in the end Dak is the better QB talent wise. His problem lies elsewhere, in his mind. Ever since his calf injury he just sucked. Too slow in his decision making, needs a perfect box, very little scrambling, "deer in the headlights" syndrome when he needs a second read. And yes, I'm well aware of the fact that he had very good stats against the blitz last year. But in the end he could only beat up the lower half of the league. His play gainst the contenders was rather embarassing.

So, if Cooper wins against the Giants and stays above .500 with his team (team sports blabla) until Dak's return, then even the most die hard Dak fan should be able to grant him a fair race to the starting postion. Whether the Defense had the biggest part in it or not.

This doesn't take anything away from the fact that they will play Dak once he's healed. Hoping for anything else is just being delusional. But if Cooper really stays above .500 then he has done way more than a back up QBs job. He has proven that he is a valid NFL starter. Especially with an offense as limited on the OL and receiving squad as this one. Then he DID elevate them to a higher level. Something that a good starter does.

Dudes would disrespect Aikman to prop up Dak... Clearly they never watched Aikman in the playoffs... And Dak in the timing-based offense Aikman ran, with 2 WR sets, yeah OK.. These modern takes are clown takes..

bus driver in that era... OK...
Are you kidding me?

You talk about supporting cast....cone on man. He didn't have to carry the team even a little bit.

To day he wasn't a bus driver is laughable.

40 million or 40 billion Daks role should be whatever helps the team

if its bus driving then get'cha alex smith on

Its so hilarious that most of these people STILL don't understand that you DON'T have to be elite to get paid in today's NFL and you DON'T have to be elite to go to or win a Superbowl.

You would think that Dak's the only non-elite quarterback in NFL history and present day to receive a large contract if you let some of these people around here tell it. So damn uninformed as to what today's quarterback compensation is all about.

Aikman is a god with 3 super bowl wins. Get back to me when Dak reaches a conference championship game.
Get back to me when we give Dak a HOF Wr, greatest OL, all time best RB and perennial #1 defense and a GREAT coaching staff.

Romo and Dak would have won the same amount of super bowls on those teams.

He looks better than Dak did at the beginning of 2016. Dak didn't even throw his first TD pass until Week 3 of 2016.

We went 13-3 that season.

The truth is we don't have enough sample size of Rush to know whether or not we can win consistently with him. All I know is that we're 2-0 when he starts. That's all we have.

Personally, I don't believe we have a single QB on the roster right now that we can be counted on to play well and carry the team for even 1 game if needed.
These clown takes are almost too much.

Ya...he looked better than a rookie(he didnt but whatev) who was not ready to play in the NFL for a couple of games.

Congrats.

Well, based on that logic Josh Allen has been in the league 2 years less than Dak yet his work pales that of Dak....Patrick Mahomes has been in the league 1 year less than Dak yet Dak pales in comparison.....

So funny...ya...he hasnt figured out how to read defense and finished 3rd in rating in the league.

Same thing with playing under center...never did it in college so he just can't do it.

Clown takes abound!!!

Some believe Aaron Rodgers is arguably the best quarterback ever. But he has the same amount of Superbowl wins as Trent Dilpher, Nick Foles, Mark Rypien, and Joe Flacco....

What should I take from this....

Where's Rodgers 3 superbowl rings???

So does this make Aikman better than Rodgers??

Talk about a clown take. lol

Cutting down Aikman because of the other assets the team had is pure, agenda driven hogwash.

Later Romo likely QB's those teams to A SB but no way in hell 4th year Romo does.

Dak doesn't even sniff a SB, even with all the weapons. His lack of confidence alone would have prevented it, not to mention a few other reasons.

Aikman contributed to the success of that HOF receiver and all time best RB just as much as they did to his success. Not to mention it's remarkable he even survived the first couple years of his career before that OL became the greatest. His willingness to stand in there to make the throw but take the hit was remarkable and contributed to the rep of the o-line just as much as that eventually great o-line contributed to his. Didn't Aikman say he has trouble even remembering the first SB because he got his bell rung so hard against the 49's?

Remember the beatings he took? The 11 sack game against the Eagles? It took Dak how many games to recover from getting sacked 6 times in a completely different era, where QB's are much much more protected by the rules?

Dude, you should be embarrassed.

But I thought this was Dak’s offense and Moore doesn’t call run plays? Maybe our QB is just low-IQ and a 1 read QB?

Yeah because they ran the hell out of the ball vs. Cinn for a whopping 27 run plays. Without Dak.

Lol...ok.

Yes . Dak and Romo could not have won super bowls with the most talented roster and best coaching staff in the league.

Do you understand how ridiculous that sounds?

Dak had the same OL in week 1 and you are saying the OL improved that much from week 1 to week 2????

Sure to players starting seeing thier first live action the week before on the left side...is it far fetched to think they got better? Big reason is they wer not playing the Buccs Dline.

LOL I am picturing the team rolling into Green bay or San Fran for an NFC championship game in the early 90s with Dak Prescott at the helm. Facing off against Steve Young and Brett Favre. Aikman treated them all like his biatch. Check the stats he was absolutely awesome. Dak and his second rate arm and 10 cent brain would have been eaten alive. No way in the world do win win those super bowls against those other juggernaut teams that were around back then with some 4th round pick like Dak. We would have been destroyed. Dak is lucky to play in an era with a salary cap. In an era of titans he would have been a lamb to the slaughter.
