Does Dak get his job back if Rush goes 6-2 by the bye?

why was Fole the SB MVP and the reason they finished that season the way they did , LET go and Wentz reinserted as the starter
that was similar to dak rush, they went with or back to the high round pick , who was supposed to be the guy with more talent , and potential.
They also thought it was them that won the SB, not the players, because they were so brilliant.
So we can win with wentz too.

They were wrong and should have stuck with foles, and tried hard to keep that same OC who went to indy.

With jerry it is different, he has annointed dak as a SB winning franchise QB, and he cant and wont allow rush or any other qb to unseat dak.
Jerry feels he has to win with dak , no one else.

He also believes in his triplett theory, and they are dak, lamb, and zeke.
Those are the guys he is determined to win with, and if some other player starts to seem far superior to any of those 3 , he will get rid of or restrict
that player.

An example is last game , elliott was out played by pollard, so monday jerry says elliot needs to be the focus ( not pollard)
Jerry is insane, and so will hamper his own team , just to have things be the way he wants them.

Romo lost his job to a hot Prescott.

Does the same happen to Prescott ???

If we are 6-2 by the bye, then Prescott has the rest of the year to recover.

I'm just sayin' ...

Nothing controversial here.

If it's working and we're 6-2 at the bye, we have a real and legitimate quarterback controversy on our hands.

And that's a good problem to have.

I'd hope McCarthy would say it would come down to Dak winning the job back by outperforming Cooper during the week in practice. Make it a competition.

NO You are insane hater fans are insane.

first game Zeke outplayed Pollard AND first half of last year Zeke outplayed pollard, and we don't change game to game zekes the starter until hes not and Daks the starter and no way shape or form is Rush even half the QB talent Dak is..Nice cherry picking one game but first series we scored because of Zeke , pollards succeeds because zeke does the dirty work..they run different plays btw and most of pollards big plays were PASSES not rushes. the are nice 1-2 combo Zeke belongs the starter, period.

My point stands, this is sports , its the norm, top starters get their jobs back..period..foles has been exposed everywhere hes went in between philly, show me different. sometimes team catches fire and a qb rides the wave,, Rush isn't starter quality. if he were, his 2-0 record would have got him plucked off the PS twice he was left down there, last year he was GA..i mean come on with this nonsense. Rush and Foles are similar players, neither are starters neither earned taking the starters place enough in the coaches' eyes and that whats important. those breaking down tape and know assignments etc.

in a qb short league with maybe 16 teams having solid starters or better why is rush not starting somewhere?? hmmm ironic our dak hating troll fans think dak sucks yet his record, stats, and someone with actual clear glasses see its mostly of team issues in these big games not unlike Romo where a player or group of players CHOKED NOT the QB.

so Dak had bad game game 1 , SO so did 8 other teams that made the playoffs last year all lost and BW their QBS played poorly.. yet excuses made for them not Dak. Its was a great win by the Team ie Cowboy when Daks starts ..Horrible loss by DAK when the team loses..lmao..

Get over it Daks the Starter for good reason his record says so.. hes not responsible for record setting Penalty's mostly by his OL, His WRs drop passes or not getting open, bad play calls, lack a of run game or like in the 2 playoff losses that our D couldn't stop the run or stop rogers..

**** gets old around here when its obvious the team is responsible for a loss but blame the QB. Did dak overcome those miscues NO not many qbs can, need an example, Burrows. he sucks i guess no reason they should be 0-2 i mean all on the QB play through a horrible OL, lack of run game, or a defense that couldn't stop our makeshift offense when it counted.
the biggest irony of these threads are Pro rush wasnt the case when dak went down and They begged for a new Trade for a QB and called Rush and Grier trash. that fan base i cant trust one close ugly win and all of sudden Rush should now take Daks job when the week leading up to the game we were doomed because we dont have backup.

same with our offseason and FA and draft picks Fans say it was all bad and it was actually a solid offseason and those players they kept on the roster over making moves were the best moves.. so
Jerrys insane yet been right more than wrong.. see the payers cut , welp most were spot on moves. those that replaced them so far the right moves..our depth pretty darn good.


Jeez haters, LET IT GO this place has menopause hot and cold flashes game by game. bipolar responses on the hour LMAO..

They're going to get Dak back as quick as possible even if it's too early.

Dak will get his job back because Rush won't have enough time to go on a run like we did in 2016.

The problems will start when/if Dak starts playing bad. If Rush plays well and Dak comes in a stinks it up then you're going to have drama in big D.

I could see this being a Foles/Wentz situation where Dak tries to come out and show he's the man but just plays bad instead because his confidence is shattered.

I hope they don't bring him back before he's ready. That would be a mistake in that it would just risk re-injury, and then he would be out for another X number of weeks, not to mention the risk of permanent damage. They need to let the man heal properly.

The fact that we are even debating whether a practise squad jouneyman QB is a better option to our 40m "superstar' QB says it all.

Whether or not one is marginally better than the other is missing the big picture. There should be a very obvious gulf in ability between the franchise QB and PS QB. If there isn''t, then the former is not a franchise QB.

I would argue all it shows us is that this board does not have common sense. Yes, Dak is probably not as good as we once thought but Cooper Rush is clearly replacement level. Dak is a starter in the NFL. Not top 10 maybe not even top 15, but certainly one of the best 32 in the NFL at a minimum. Does that mean we should keep Dak long term? No, but he is obviously a better overall player compared to Rush.

They were wrong and should have stuck with foles

Foles has been garbage at every other stop in his career. That SB run was luck + a ridiculously good roster around him. He got hot and they rode the wave to a championship. Over a full season Foles is not an NFL starter and it has been proven time and time again.

We won because of our D. Rush held his own but it’s not like he dominated for 60 mins.

He is a serviceable backup— but had Dak been healthy, he would have played better than he did the week before simply bc the Cinci D is not nearly as complete as Tampa’s
Agreed. Dak is not trash.

he cant, dak has no trade clause, so only way is if dak agreed to a trade.
If he were to lose his job do you think he'd still want to be here??????? I don't, I believe he would be in JJ's office, with his brother by his side demanding that they both be traded to a state that believes in losing.......ha-haaaaaa!

Exactly why anyone would let arguments on this board force them to actually write they think Rush is a diamond in the rough is ridiculous..lets hope he can keep making some plays and the team plays outstanding on defense to keep us viable until Dak gets back. But trying to sell Rush as a better QB is a new low in integrity even for some of these guys...Its ok to want better than Dak and opinions on what that is can vary for sure..but putting your name on Rush is ridiculous.

It’s easy to say no, especially if Rush isn’t actually winning the games. 23 points won’t win many games in the NFL unless the defense is winning them. When the defense stank, we expected Romo and Dak to put up 30+ just to have a chance, and when they only engineered 2 TD drives in a game, we called for their heads. That said, with Jerry, anything is possible.

Rush has engineered 4 TD drives in 2 starts. That’s more than we expected, so we are giddy with it, but that is not the answer.

Win vs Vikings - 48 QBR.
Win vs Bengals - 78 QBR.

Exactly if you can get an upgrade then fine..this is not an upgrade. Somehow it went from top 10 needing a top 3 to well ill take a guy who cleared waivers 3 times over Dak....

Rush isn't an unknown rookie that lands a spot out of severe need. He's been around and there will be more footage to study. He's a back up. Winning games is outstanding, but they're not putting it on Rush, they're getting by. Unless Prescott is on IR, he's always going to return as the starter. At least this season.

On no planet would a 40 mil QB be a backup. STOP IT. What did Rush do after the 1st quarter? Three weeks ago everyone on this board wanted him gone.
