Make no mistake, Rush is playing for the starting job Sunday

[Flamma]

Here’s who we should be paying 140 million.

You'll get your wish after next season. He'll sign an extension making him the highest paid non quarterback in the league.

I don't care what you hear from whomever ....

A lot is riding Sunday...

Rush wins Sunday night he will have earned the starting spot.

Now...if this team decides to change course.. going back to Dak...and we start losing...then this falls on McCarthy....and you got bigger problems.

It does not matter unless he is getting an instant pay raise as a starter.

Diggs is exposed without DL and Parsons disruption.

I’ll take Diggs on one island the next five yrs take my chances

Our secondary would crumble like it has in recent years without DL causing havoc.

Don’t get me wrong , I like Diggs and Wilson has came on too but without this DL it would be exposed.

It is a team sport . Line disrupts secondary prevents damage . 11 int’s hard to look past

What agenda?

Why have you crowwed yourself "Defender of Dakota"

The cards have all been played . . . The Ball is in Dakota's Court. . . He will be given every chance to perform . . . He better not drop the ball

Luckily for Him the easy partvof the schedualr is on the Horizon

I am not defender of anyone. In fact exactly the opposite. I just call out bullshiet and some don't like it. I state some facts with stats to show it and people defer to their eye test. I ask for anyone making claims to show it and people get pisssed off.

And I agree. He has the chance to show it and if he doesn't then time to move on. What I do know that rush is not the answer. But most say otherwise and I disagree. Just because I say Dak is. Better than Rush doesn't mean I am saying Dak is elite which is what Dak Haters equate that to.

Yeah, Diggs is not an island type CB.

I hear ya but he also gave up one of the leagues highest yardage with those 11 picks. Which is improved this year.

I thought sometimes going for picks he often risked giving up big plays if he didn’t get to the ball. I think he’s better this year with fewer picks.

But I’d even like to see us use Diggs on offense like we did Deion . He has great pass catching abilities which of course he played WR in college.

You make good points, but you still need a combined effort to make it work. We had some pretty bad defenses with DWare. If you remember, Ron Fellows had a lot of interceptions as well. A lot of that had to do with the pass rush. But those Cowboys defenses weren't that good overall. You need multiple impact players on defense to have a really good defense. One or two players won't do it.

Let's all return to the topic please.

Rush is playing for the backup job.

Totally agree! Dak is in a no-win situation just like Romo when Dak took his job.

Please let Prescott get medically cleared ASAP so this latest fan melodrama can finally be put to rest. And then immediately replaced with a newer one.

Unfortunately it’s these melodrama situations with our QB’s which all too often drive traffic on social media platforms which in turn drive revenue.

Yea, really need Rush to lose a game to end this. Lol

Unfortunately Dak didn’t lose a game until after we benched Romo and it really didn’t ever get much better.

 

[rambo2]

Could have means nothing statistically as you can say that about any QB,including Dak, but the fact is he has ZERO turnovers.

Really, just because the defense drops the ball or commits a penalty?

I don’t know why this isn’t blatantly obvious to everyone…

QB controversies are a normal NFL phenomenon and Cowboys fans shouldn't be afraid of it. Dak has had the luxury of being anointed by the Joneses long before he deserved it. We should welcome the competition Dak is facing for his starting job. He'll either rise to the challenge or he won't. That's healthy for any team.

You and others see competition. I do not see squat.

Just waiting for something real to happen. Then the entire nonsense will be settled one way or the other.

Not saying Rush has proven to be a world-beater. But any QB who can come in and win games deserves at least a shot at the starting job. Besides, what have you seen from Dak since, say from after the bye week of last season, that makes you feel he is an elite QB worthy of his contract? I haven't seen it.
