CFZ The Perspective Cooper Rush Provided

[bigE79]

for me i'd like to see dak in that kinda game plan during that 4-1 stretch.

You saw him in that kind of game in the first game of the season.. how'd that one turn out?

he broke his thumb and many...myself included thought our season was over.
our receivers were much better when dak came back vs wk1.
i'd rather have seen dak in a game plan that reigns in gunslingn' and leans more on the run.

you mean the 1st game with the worse gameplan known to man against a fresh and very good TB team with great defense at the time with NEW OL, new WR core, and the run game working and Moore does what Moore does that got him let go,, you cannot go full pass happy in game 1 with brand new look on Offense that needed to settle in with new rookie lT that was supposed to be the LG when Tyron gets hurt, Mcgivern first time starter now at LG who was supposed to be the backup, and Steel first time starting RT . Lamb starting for the first time as the #1 , Gallup out, with NO cooper, ced, turner etc etc. with little PS or camp, practice with a new group. zekes running well at 5.2 YPC 10-52 and you only give him 2 carries the 2nd half and Pollard 6 carried for 8 yards, once again underutilized and lack of design BY MOORE.

rush would have been killed in that same scenario. Sorry take your hate goggles off for a minute and remember the actual game. Moore was forced to change when Dak went down and discovered a better way to use Polard and started splitting carries more evenly with zeke and got on a roll with a very vanilla run heavy safe offense while our D was playing its best ball until after the BYE when our team was nowhere near playing like that when dak got back. injuries, OL shuffling, and the D was worn out trying to keep Rush in the low scoring games. the dam broke!

No way Rush could have won many of those higher scoring games and thats fact and our Offense was clearly more dangerous with dak back. Dak easily wins those 4 of 5 games maybe all 5 in that scenario Rush played in.

Amen!!!!!!! But this is what they love to gauge him off of in here ksk, stats stats stats, what about balance and how is lack of athletic ability made us game plan around his inabilities!! With Dak he said I get it, but of course I knew that would last about a week

I'd bet that many fans don't even watch the games, but instead look at the box score and base an opinion off what they see in the stats. That, and fans are either happy or sad based off how their Fantasy Football did on that particular weekend.

Right!!!

I am on record right now that Rush has earned the right to have open competition in camp for the starting job. Im not a fan of this years QB crop in the draft. Not sure I would draft a guy. Maybe a 7th on Duggan.

He's a back up for a reason. There will be no completion unless it's on the practice squad. Seriously, Rush wasn't that good.

he was good enough. I trust him.

You can go back to the Parcells days. He wanted Romo to be a "bus driver", which is where the phrase came from in these parts. When he said it, it was rather inflammatory and a lot of people disagreed.

There is some level of nuance here. This isn't saying that the team doesn't want to score points. What it is really saying is that a team taking on this philosophy is going to try to mitigate risk. Focus on ball control and minimizing turnovers versus what Dallas did this year.

Its no coincidence that Parcells publicly criticized Dallas' offense this year. And yes, there are a lot of people who disagree with this philosophy but Parcells is no fool.

And yes, a LOT of people complained about Dink and Dak. They lost in the playoffs in their first game after going 13-3 but look at the score. It was 34-31 and Dallas went down a quick 21-3. If you put this defense with that team, it makes the super bowl IMHO.

The game passed Parcells completely by. His offensive philosophy was no longer suited for the NFL and he tried to keep Bledsoe in as long as he could. Parcells sat in Seattle with their backup DBs, because he was timid as far as offensive philosophy. Romo basically came in and saved his career here, as even Giants players had to come down and be on the sidelines in his support.

he was good enough. I trust him.

He benefited from a healthy roster around him. He did very little. The scoring offensive rankings were rock bottom.

while the numbers don't lie, if the Cowboys could win a Super Bowl by being the "Baltimore Ravens circa 2001 2.0" I'd take it. hahah

Madden Football video game stats are fun, and admittedly it's fun to watch a high-powered offense, but whatever it takes to win, I'll take it at this point.

95% of people were defending Dak before the Divisional playoff game rubbing it in our faces how good he was against the Bucs. Sure for a short time after the Divisional game some more people turned on him but most of them are right back on the bandwagon or will be by next season.

Imagine getting upset because people celebrated Dak having a good game. Oh you're benched nevermind is probably for the best.

Purdy has the arm for the NFL game. Rush does not.

So did Jeff George and Jamarcus Russell ..

 

[Cmac]

In most of Romo's post Parcells years he didn't have the defense to simply drive the bus. Plus he had a horrific HC to deal with.

To Romo's credit he kept improving his craft and was an elite level QB by the time the injuries took their toll.

Dak is in regression. He hasn't improved his game mentally or physically

.....may want to go back and view TRomo games......as heroic as he was at times, interceptions were part of the reason for comeback attempts, alot. Right now Dak is performing just as TRomo performed many times......up & down. OC removed, so Dak and Kellen Moore no longer are connected to suspect one or the other is to blame. We will see.

Dak Haters lower the Bar for entry when it comes to Cooper Rush...they ignore 6 Training Camps, 6 OTAs, 6 QB Schools 6 Mini camps etc of Rush's inability to EARN a starting QB1 job....

Why is Cooper Rush so entitled to deserving a Starting job? Even a high Quincy Carter somehow won more and Earned Parcells QB1

Dak Haters lower the bar...

Purdy has the arm for the NFL game. Rush does not.

The combination of Rush and Purdy is that you just dont need an elite QB to succeed. Yes there's a drop off (with Rush), but we were able to scheme a gameplan....take this a stage further and the savings on Dak (June 2024) to the tune of $34m could help facilitate contract extensions AND use some of the existing $79m to improve the roster.

those fans look at box score when convenient to their argument, and then dig into plays, routes, etc. when its convenient.

“Rubbing in your faces” how good the QB for your team played. Do you realize how ****ed up your perspective is?

You’re mad when your QB plays well. Ok, carry on man.

we didn't game plan with Rush, we leaned on Defense to carry the day. Rush got progressively worse and very fast. his last two games were atrocious. against the Rams he had the worst performance of any QB in the league in 2022. yet we won, becaue defense scored once, dominated the Rams, and got the offense another 3 points with another turnover. 76 yards of next passing ain't going to get you many wins in the league.

and we had 20M on the cap this year. who did we sign to make the team better? we chose to spend 7.5M total on bottom of the barrel FAs.

Please the eagles didn't show up for Daks game and you know it

That's the Dak fan for you. They know the context but conveniently ignore it so that they can prop up this guy. Why? Who the hell knows.

 

[raven55]

people always will be divided on dak but the honest truth is that he's an average nfl qb and that's all. the reason jerry and lil-jerry talk him up is because of there later dumb ways of trying to find a qb which as a lot of so called football experts will tell you that you have to keep drafting till you find the right one but they like to do free agents are in dak's case have a lot of talent around him. which if you look at it what you have is more talent then you have in the qb lesson learned is that under pressure hen will fail and that's all there is to that story. So when you hear the talking heads on all these cowboy pod casts talk there giving you the company line because like you they don't want jerry TO FIRE THEM because money talks and they like there easy money making jobs
