This is about as dumb a comment as when JJ talked about Quinn being a HC while MM is still on the clock.
There is zero chance Rush starts over Dak bc the salary cap reality is what it is. Therefore— all this comment does is publicly undermine the QB you paid 160 million to last year.
I think this is JJ “musing” and planting the idea so that Dak doesn’t get comfortable— but right now, Dak’s confidence is shot.
He needs some loyalty from the FO and if anyone should be feeling pressure it should be Kellen Moore: “Fix our 40 million dollar QB!! Yesterday!! And if that means you scrap your cutesy offense to call plays he can execute then you better damn well do it!!”
Exactly. Jones biggest problem is, and has been for decades, he doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. He should memorize these words:
"What's a question for our head coach."
I like the job that Cooper Rush did, but he's won exactly ONE game this season. And you're right, this BS torpedoes your starting QBs confidence. Now what if Rush loses 7 games in a row and then Dak is ready to come back? Now he comes back with trashed confidence, and so we just lose a bunch of games with Dak.
If Jones said anything at all, it should have been vague platitudes like, "We're happy to have both Dak and Cooper on our team." Then if they ask anything about who should start, it's the "question for the head coach" answer.
Some of the best advice I got when I was a kid was: When in doubt, keep your mouth shut.
I wish Jones had been given that advice and took it to heart.
