Is it why Cooper is gone too? Is it why Dallas didn't go after quality free agents too? Is it why Stephen Jones is already saying something will need to be done with Dak's cap hit next season (hinting at a restructuring and kicking more money down the road)?

What did Stephen do when he had Dak on that 4th rounder money? Absolutely nothing.

Dak is viewed by his defenders as a franchise QB.

Dak is viewed by his detractors as a bus driver.

Depending on which camp you fall into will be the determining factor of whether or not you think he is worth what he is making.

Numbers and hard facts don't lie. Dak is drastically overpaid and overpaying to that extent for a QB in the salary cap era is simply not something that can be overcome if you want to win a Championship. Cooper is demonstrating Jerry's folly.

He's now in his 7th year, so am I to judge off his current performance or his seven year old performance?
he had 6-0 run last year, 2018 5-0 he destroys the East, while rush does JUST ENOUGH. stop being blind hater and in fact stop talking money Daks under contract and hes here for this year stay in the now..he is getting his job back and deservingly so.. who cares BU making less is available. Rush is nice backup but is limited, period.

THE biggest thing i see during the last 2 weeks in MOORE he calls a very different game for Rush then he does for Prescott. there run heavy and balance. for some reason he seems to just call mostly pass pays for Dak and allows dak to audible into run if it looks better.

Daks A far better qb then rush But Moore needs to call the game the same way and Dak and this team will be better off..daks better, period and deserves his job back. that why, the national media's saying, the coaches are saying it,

and ALL SANE fans not wearing dak Hate goggles would say, dak should get his job back... hes clearly a better qb...

hes had far better win streaks..jeez how about 11, 6, 3 in 2019 and in 2018 that late run what 5 in a row? i mean do we have a bunch of fans with selective memory. Nothing Rush has done has been impressive with the exception hes not messing it up, hes doing just enough. that great we found out the coaches and owner KNEW Rush was the best choice and did have plan at WR, OL, and Defense..even Maher was the best choice.

all this love for player(s) most here came out and said Rush is trash and we were DONE when dak went down unless we traded for a better qb.. Noah browns was called trash they wanted smith or Vasher, Tyler 73 wouldn't hold up and shouldn't thbe the LT they wanted some expensive vets left over , Jerry had NO plan, Maher worst ever choice, and we wouldn't win another game this season.

HEY MODS can you go back after daks injury week one and please PIN all those posts back up and highlight and call out every zoner who said those things and now are flipping their opinion and now are saying the opposite. hypocrites.

go pin mine i said rush would be the best choice because he knew the offense and dak would be back before you could get anther qb ready to play.
odd how narratives get busted.

so now Dak comes back and pays the better teams lie he did with the Bucs now maybe rams eagles B2B and will be under fan microscope. they are clearly better then Bengal's, giants and commanders..

so now the morons will say look we took rush out and lost and will claim they are right.
thats not how it works..

Dak will be playing better teams, period. he give us the best chance to win those games because we will need MORE Offense and Rush is don't screw it up a Bus driver.. most underwhelming production at qb, which is fine but we will need MORE offense and daks the qb to do it on our roster. win or lose its the best decision and im getting tired head having to wake up fans with moronic statements about how Rush should keep the job.

if you do not know or agree, well, you are clueless.

You mean like last year where we had a 6 game win streak and went 12 and 6?

Dallas finished 12-5 (Dak was 11-5 and Rush was 1-0); the 6-game winning streak saw Dak 5-0 and Rush 1-0; Dallas was 6-1 when Dak came back from his 1-game injury...Dallas finished the season going 6-4 and then lost in their home playoff game.

Though at this point, with the last few quarterback contracts, he's being paid about what he's worth, or if not by the next few contracts he will be...

Facts matter: Dak had a 5-0 run then missed a game due to injury in which Rush went 1-0.

Not really we seeing Coop ceiling now. Dak can carry this team to some degree. But in reality this Defense been carrying this team.
“Dak can carry this team to some degree.” Where did you pull this out of the hat? He can’t even carry hisself much less the team.

Actually they laugh at the idea on ESPN. The media isnt that stupid. Unless Coop is putting up like 3TD's and 200/300 yard games.
The media isn’t interested in the better player. They have an agenda. W’s matter not fantasy #s to a knowledge fan. You either see it or you don’t.

I'm not arguing that. Dak is ovepaid. But his supporters will never admit it and will continue to claim that he is top 5, top 10 whatever. They will defend him to the end.

The true test is to look if Dak adds more by just being present? For instance if I were to take Dak and put him on say a team that has a weak offense. Does his addition make them better?

Yea but not all qb's are equal. I mean let's face it, can anyone with a straight face compare Dak Prescott to Mahomes? And I'm not even saying Dak is the only one, I'd say the same for Kyler Murray and Deshaun Watson. It's lunacy to claim that well this is the market for QB's when none of these guys are the same.

There is an aspect which needs mentioning. While a great number of people will not agree with this, one has to point out that Dak in the recent years has not had the running game and offensive line play like Rush had against the Giants.

I am not saying Dak will excel if he enjoys this type of an unfettered pocket to throw. But to me, at this point in time, there could be a case made that Rush has been playing behind an offensive line which is buying time.

Keep in mind it is only the Giants, even though Martindale was blitzing a great deal.

Which goes back to the point this offensive line - with the weak spot of Biadasz - may be the best this team has fielded in a few years.

That’s better than 40 million.

And you could just replace Rush with the next Rush once his contract is up and he's looking for a massive raise. Franchise QB money is worth it if you are getting a Rodgers or Mahomes in return. But if you aren't, you are far better off spending that money on your defense and just making do with a QB that is merely adequate. Jerry wanted another franchise QB so bad after Romo that he tried to will it in to existence by paying a guy who was clearly not a franchise QB franchise QB Money and that mistake has cost cowboys big time.

Important to emphasize the problem was caused by Jerry, not Dak. Dak has played up to expectations in terms of being the 135th guy drafted and what you'd expect based on his college career. The problem is just that Jerry chose to pay him way too much.
