Seeing Chiefs' backup QB Matt Moore subbing and delivering points in place of injured Mahomes, he's proving he can be a very reliable backup QB

If Dak Prescott himself were to be injured, and had to sidelined for just a few games (per concussion, bad ankle sprain, hamstring or bruised shoulder) and we needed backup Cooper Rush to sub and manage 3 games for wins – how confident are you in Cooper Rush that he could deliver us enough few wins to help us stay in playoff race, until Dak returns ?

I'd be more confident if Coop got some playing time in the past. Games that had no meaning at the end of the year the last 2 years, again I will blame the coaching for not having everyone prepared.

So really, I would have to say I have no idea how Coop would play. Of course, it would be the same for any backup whom we haven't had any visibility on working on our scheme. If 2015 is any indication though, were up the creek without a paddle.

He would throw the same lollipops he always throws. Can't teach arm strength.

The sad part is; Cooper Rush has been on the Cowboys active roster for 2+ years. Moore was retired from the NFL, hadn't played since 2017, was coaching HS ball and got called by Reid a few days ago to play last night.
Moore doesn't have the greatest arm, but he's got a cannon compared to poor Cooper.

I didn't even know who Prescott's backup is...until now.
Who the hell is Cooper Rush?

A true quality backup is Bridgewater for the Saints or Tannehill for Tennessee. Rush isn't anywhere near that.

I believe those are top 30 QB’s that just happened to fall into a backup role. Both will probably be starting next season.

A true backup is Schuab it Moore IMO. A veteran that no team would want as their starter but can be competent if you have to depend on him for a couple games.

See 2015.
