Jerry ain't paying dak 40 million to ride the bench.

He was paying Romo a lot of money and he had him ride the bench due to a hot hand. If Cooper Rush was real productive and our offense was generating a lot of points he would stay with him and I don’t care how much Dak is making. Problem is we’re having to play very conservative with Rush and we’re not sustaining drives and aren’t scoring enough TDs.

This is very different to Romo. Dak’s contract has already received 3 signing bonuses. This means Jerry has pushed so much of Dak’s contract back into future years that not only would it be implausible to cut him this year or next, but he’s very likely going to require an extension to alleviate this problem.


Bottom line is 11 wins with Dak as the rest-of-season QB is better longterm than the headache that would surround Cooper Rush finishing a 13-4 season. Jerry won’t let that happen.

I cant have a mental breakdown I have a bionic brain
All that smoking made it just 1's and 0's and auto-self-flatulence at this point so I can say with confidence that you're on point in your self-assessment.

I envy you.

Well, not really, but in some sort of way I do.

If we can Keep Rush next season I would like it But I suspect some team might take a flyer on him and give him a shot at starting

If that happens I'll show you a team that will be disappointed.

The Chase Daniel reference earlier in this thread fits. Some guys are good backup QBs. Thinking you're going to build a serious contender around their limitations is a mistake.

There’s differences but the bottom line is we’re not going to finish 13-4 with this putrid passing attack. Our running game hasn’t been consistent week after week and it’s obvious to everyone we’re winning games because of our defense. Good luck finding a team in the history of the NFL that’s won a championship with the 27th ranked offense or worse. The 2000 Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl with the 16th ranked offense and a very average QB because they had one of the great defenses in NFL history.

And then there's this guy.
Who I think is a Romulan spy...
But I drink too much of them there Romulan Ale so don't trust me.
For someone who doesn't watch Star Trek, you seem to know a lot of references from the show lol.

Nah. You joke too much.
You're more Romulan.
Did I spell that right? I don't watch Star Trek.
Yea kinda I think like a QA Inspector and QA Engineer I worked in the Military and commercial aircraft industry so look out what you fly on I may have inspected some very important parts on the aircraft you chose to fly on

Yeah I was just speaking hypothetically. In this case, Cooper outperforming Dak will create as many issues as it will benefits in Jerry’s world
