I’ll start with a Cooper Rush. If he plays and wins this game. A little less than 50% of the fans will want him to continue playing the rest of the season. If he loses, 50% of the fans will say we told you so it’s been the defense.

Dak Prescott. If he starts and wins. 50% of the fans will say it’s because of the defense. If he loses now is the big dilemma. I believe more than 50% of the fans will say well maybe we should’ve kept Cooper Rush.

personally, I think Prescott is the better of the two quarterbacks overall. But I just want to win I don’t really care who is behind center. It makes no difference if we win by one point or 21 points. It’s about the game plan and the team. Go cowboys beat the Rams Sunday

LOL. They would never, NEVER let Dak play this week. Not in a million years. He will be eased back in with an easy schedule. This guy has been cuddled his entire time here. What a joke of a franchise.

It’s not a dilemma at all. The players and coaches have all said publicly how much they appreciate having Rush as their backup QB. He has done an excellent job. But he’s not seen as the starter by his teammates and coaches.

And as good as Cooper Rush has played, it’s not like he’s lighting it up. Without our outstanding defense, we’re probably 0-4. I’m not degrading Rush, let’s keep him in perspective. It’s not like he’s been Mahomes.

I think they tried to open it up this weekend by throwing longer passes. He got lucky twice on ints being called back by ticky tack calls. Well at least 1 was. Dak needs to come back 100% healthy. If he can grip the ball and throw well then he needs to start back with Rush lime game plan. Lean on the run and get the ball out quick on shorter passes.

It's not even close, this is Dak's team until he loses the support of his teammates and coaches. Fans and media can debate all they want but players and coaches have some they don't ......patience.
This dude talking about fans and media not having any "patience" when this team has done nothing for almost 30 years lol

Yet this is a similar formula being used for Rush in 2022 as was used for Dak in 2016....and he was given RoY honors and so many celebrated Dak's excellence.

I wouldn't be surprised if Dak returns for the Lions game. I don't think he will be medically ready this week and I suspect the Cowboys will not want him to return against the Eagles.
