Cooper Rush

[Aviano90]

Let’s see some Mike White. Please, please let him be better than Cooper.

 

[Yoshimitsu]

Lol now Mike White is the man.

 

[CowboyinMD]

Lol now Mike White is the man.

At least Mike White has an NFL caliber arm.

Cooper Rush or Kellen Moore? Yeah right.

 

[8FOR!3]

Kellen Moore's lack of arm strength popped on tape, I feel like a good bit of his interceptions happened because of lack of arm strength. Vice versa, Cooper Rush has played in 5 preseason games and has yet to throw a pick. He's also thrown 7 touchdowns and even tonight when he didn't look good on tape his stat line was solid.

Dude morphed into Brandon Weeden over the off-season. Very disappointing.

I don't know what media are driving anything about Cooper Rush (none that I've seen), but having seen the guy play in college he had a noodle arm then and he has one now. According to his draft profile, I'm not alone:

Lollipop arm strength allows ball to hang in air too long. Defensive backs with twitch have time to dart into passing lane and make interceptions despite a good read by quarterback. Struggles to challenge tight windows in middle of the field. Could be limited to timing-based passing attacks. Unable to make sudden getaways from pocket due to lack of athleticism. Strong pocket push from interior short circuits his plans.

SOURCES TELL US
"He played in the MAC, not the SEC. If he made some of those throws against NFL cornerbacks and safeties they turn into pick-sixes. He's a great kid, he's smart, but he falls below the minimum standard for arm strength." - Area scout for AFC team

Kellen Moore

That’s funny you think media is driving a narrative on his arm stength...

I’ve watched a ton of throws last year in preseason and plenty in training camp. Arm strength can be improved with proper mechanics. Romo lacked arm strength but improved it over his career but he always had a super fast release to compensate.

Yeow -- food for thought, no doubt. I appreciate the rundown on his profile. Rush's comparison to Kellen Moore is deflating, indeed! Apparently, his performance in last year's preseason amounted to little more than fool's gold.

I'm also sorry to say I missed tonite's preseason game upon falling asleep on the couch. It's a rude awakening to see his post-game comments to be sure. Ah, well -- back to that cruel, cruel thing called reality, I suppose!

His balls were more shaky in the air than a 90 year old Parkinson Patients Hand trying to give you a solid Hand shake.

Dude has a Noodle Arm. Brandon Weeden 2.0

Time to see Mike White

 

[TheSkaven]

I know one game is an overreaction - but I honestly don’t think Coop is going to make the team. God forbid if Dak gets hurt. We wouldn’t win a single game.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I guess some better pray that Dak develops. lol

 

[Carter]

Mike White should be able to beat him out easily if he can read quicker. Having said that and the Cowboys usual crazy overlong Holding on their Projects they will probably let Cooper stay the Backup for 5 more years and Mike White will be gone to another Team.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Rush seems to be a Accurate QB been awhile since we've had one of those....

Calling PappyDog. PappyDog, where are you and your beloved bunch?

Clock may have struck midnight on Cinderella

We're all here bud what's all the hoopla about .......just curious how children's minds work ?

Hey, so nice to hear from you Pdoggy! What did you think about that noodle-armed Dak? Still want to start your boy Orange Crush over him? lol

 

[Jeffkills]

If Cooper Rush isn't on our squad after final cut downs, somebody made a giant mistake and needs to be summarily executed.

You feel the same way if he is traded and not on the team

 

[Cowboysfan917]

The drop in line play of the second string was horrible. We better pray that there are no injuries to any lineman. The first team offense ran the ball at will where the second team struggled to get 2 yards, even let loose a wild snap that Rush made a decent play on. Any Dakbot should just hear the name Chaz Green and be silenced.

I thought he played pretty well considering what was around him and adjusted as the game went on. His arm strength doesn’t look off the charts but I don’t see it being a lollipop either. The guy pushed it downfield quite a bit and didn’t throw any picks

 

[4lifecowboy]

If i hadn't watched the game with my own eyes, reading these comments I would think Rush stunk up the joint. With the exception of the Gallop overthrow he looked decent, and adjusted better as the game went on.

Think you mean underthrow. He doesn't have the arm strength for an overthrow. I was disappointed only with his arm strength last night. Felt he read the field well and knew where to go with the ball. Maybe his arm is tired.

White is another story. He had zip on his passes, but probably thought he was back in college again. Our 3rd string oline just plain sucked.

 

[Hadenough]

Unbelievable! Dak running in the first pre season game.
