Is the Cooper Rush signing a bigger deal than we know?

Although Rush is more accurate he had noodle arm by the 5th start. I'm sure he hasn't thrown that much in years. No if we draft a QB he'll move into #2 rapidly. But you are correct in Dak's chances moving forward.

Do the Cowboys see Rush as the starter in a bridge role next year?

We take a QB this year - Like the kid from Tennessee and - we buy Dak out - Rush starts next year ( and maybe beyond ) at a super low cap hit: while the young QB marinates .

Would you be shocked if Rush is stating by week 5,6 if Dak starts terribly ?

Skip Bayless thinks we have a gem In Rush - maybe he’s right for once in his life.
:facepalm:

Ummmm . . . He signed for 2.5 million a year. So Ummmm no They did Not sign Him to be the QB for an extended period of time. They signed Him because Jerry stepped in it again

He has a Capable QB that produces under Pressure if need be . . . In case of

If the Cowboys do Draft a QB in your scenario where they "Buy Out" Dak . . . Then The QB would be the Starter next year and Cooper would be the Backup . . . Otherwise they will not be getting rid of Dak next year unless they believe the Rookie would be capable to Start

On a side note . . . If the Cowboys do not draft a QB then that would imply a lot of Faith in Will Grier. . . And if So He may be The QB they turn to

If Dak Falls Flat on His Face (Which is a very real possiblity) . . . I believe it will be Grier that they turn to.

But this scenario is based upon them not drafting a QB which I would be disappointed if they did not

Umm wake-up

Umm Dak is on his last year here

Ummm Dak was just restructured allowing an out .

Ummm Rush was 5-1 last year and has guaranteed money next year .
So he becomes the stop gap until Max Duggan is ready .

No. The only way I see Rush getting starting minutes is if Dak gets injured.

Skip is a donkey btw.

Sorry I don't see Rush becoming the starter. I'm glad we got him resigned because I do think he can manage a game pretty well but the offense was stagnate once he took over Cowboys had a hard time moving the ball or converting 3rd downs. I'm not going to come down on Rush he did what he had to do as a backup. As for skip? the man makes a living off of saying stupid things along with Sharpe that is what they are paid to do.

If the starting QB for the Cowboys is not a 1st round pick after Dak then I might stop watching.

I'm tired of seeing us trot out these undrafted/4th round pick QBs and waste good teams.

Most of this talk will stop once Jerry extends Dak contract sometime this year, then everyone will be pissed who are not Dak fans.

You are really using Skip as a source? My goodness have we fallen as a society...

Buy Dak out? Huh??? Not happening.

Skip. Jebus this guy again? He isn't right about Rush. Rush is a backup. Period.

No one sees Cooper Rush as a starter. Please don't tell me his won/loss record. The one time the opponent scored more than 17 points, he lost. He is what he is.

I had people telling me during the season that someone would offer him $30 million to be their starter. His market? The only team that wants him, and for peanuts.

I think it will be interesting to see if and when they draft a QB.

OMG, you are not serious about this. Rush as a starter? he led the 21st ranked offense, 22nd in scoring, 30th in TOP. every part of the offense struggled and as for interceptions in 5 games, his average was 0.8 per game. Dak was 1.2. which means one more interception every other game.

Cooper Rush is just insurance. hedging their bets. if we draft a QB and he is better than Rush by any measure, then rush is standing on the curbside with a cup asking for donations.

Rush will never start over Dak. anytime, anywhere. just accept that.

and btw, I saw your last sentence....then I understood.....if you belive in Skip Bayless, then you are not very smart....its shear stupidity
