Cooper Rush isn’t going to develop into more than what he is a bus driver who can manage games. He’s not very talented or productive and has to play within himself. He’s receiving a lot of love from fans on the board despite our lack of offense because the Cowboys are winning. The love affair will stop with him when we play a real good team and we can’t stay with them offensively. We’re winning games with our defense.
If Rush doesn’t win another game, he still passed will have passed the expectations that most fans had for him. I would guess that the low expectations takes the pressure off of Rush.

In what areas has Dak shown his superiority this season? The second half of last season was rough on Dak as well. The current trend is not pointing upwards for Dak, it it is pointing up for Rush though.

What is Coop doing thats special? We shouldve bet Cincy and the Giants. Only a choke job wouldve gave us that lost.

So?
Rush was cut and availible to every team in the league
31 teams passed on him
He shouldn’t cost as much as a top 5-7 QB does

Thing is, nothing is going to change those facts so why hate Dak? He's here for at least a few more years so why not support him and hope for the best? Go Cowboys

You HAVE to - that's the rules.

IMO, I don't think neither one of these guys will take us to a Super Bowl so...my goal is to go to and win the Super Bowl.

Let me clarify, I said this idea that we need to pay QBs based on values placed for other guys is pure lunacy, not that you are crazy

That's the way all players are paid, not just quarterbacks. And how else would you pay them? Stats? Wins? Number of years in the league? Pure subjective evaluation?
No way is perfect, the way it's done is as good as any, or at least not as bad as some...

What does Dak do better than Rush . I’ll wait…..

Dak can put more than 2 TDs in two games :laugh:. Man child please... When Coop put up 3TDs a game without our max pro sets or win a shoot out I'll give him some thought.

The problem with Cooper playing well, is Dak’s contract becomes almost un-tradeable, unless he agrees to take pay cut to start somewhere else. Nobody is going to want to take on a contract with a no trade-clause for a guy getting outplayed by Rush.
No one wants him anyway so no biggie here........

Do


Do you recall the 91 Cowboys with Beuerlein.. or how about the 2019 Steelers with Mike Tomlin? A back up QB has to make some wins for you. If our Defense was average, take away 5 sacks and 20 pressures do you think Coop get the win?
I don;t know. Should I root for that to happen?

Well seeing as how he put up ZERO td's in week 1.....hmmmm.

Last season Dak put up zero td's in 2 games....1 td in 3 games....and 1 td in 3 straight games....and over a 5 game stretch had 5 total td's (and 5 int's in those games).....so your point is what?

Rush is outplaying Jow Burrow too so you think teams would actually take Rush over Burrow?

Is Rush playing in Joe’s own offense? Joe Burrow made the SB in his second year unlike Dak’s train wreck of 7 years, while being outplayed by Rush in Dak’s own offense. Why do I even bother with your bogus analogies?
