How can you all act like Week 1 never happened?

You're on a Cowboys forum. You're not going to convince anyone here that Dak hasn't played this season.
How can you act like one game would be every game?

lol

I understand the Dak hate here runs deep with many of you, but a subjective look at this offense under Cooper Rush shows this winning streak is not sustainable with his current level of play. Dallas ranks between 24th and 30th in points per game, third down conversions, red zone offense, and big plays.

The defense has allowed only one touchdown in all five games and that is the only reason they are 4-1. Can we expect this to keep happening every single week? I give Rush all the credit he deserves for driving the bus, playing clean football, and not messing anything up. But this team needs Dak back and to play at the level of early 2021. He does that, and with this defense this could be the best team in the NFC.
We don't hate Dak.
We hate what his incompetence does to the Cowboys.
Cooper Rush has already shown that he is better than Dak; it's not up for debate. No matter what happens Sunday night, Dak will not prove or be proven that he is better.
At this point the Cowboys must keep improving. They can't afford to look back at what's in the past. If Cooper Rush was to sustain an injury or not be sufficient to move forward, the Cowboys know that Dak is no longer a potential answer.
If the Cowboys think they need an upgrade at quarterback, they need to look outside of their own roster.
Dak Prescott has been exposed. He is no longer the franchise quarterback.

So you have seen "fans of dak" here making backhanded comments in here and you have zero comments on it? I guess you are okay with that.

can you copy and post my 2016 comments? that's 6 plus years ago, even I don't remember what I post back then.
I pull for the Cowboys and the wins are what they play for.
sorry

What is a backhanded comment? Can you give me an example?

Is that like you guys admitting Dak is better, but then saying Rush reads defenses better, is more accurate, better in the pocket, gets the ball out quicker, and doesnt panic?

ALL qb's drive the bus, they just drive it differently, and some hit a lot of potholes.

Been a Cowboys fan for 27 years, Prescott is my favourite quarterback in that span.
Wait wait wait…..

27 years? After all this analysis and debate, YOURE the problem??

I somewhat agree with you. However, this team has yet to prove that they can play well in all 3 phases of the game. It's usually the Defense and ST or the Offense and ST.

I just doubt that somehow having Dak in will magically solve the problem. KM is good at having good first drives, but he is unwilling or unable to make the adjustments in the game. This needs to be fixed or McCarthy needs to takeover play calling duties like he did in GB.

What would you rather have the offense to do well or the defense? We all seem to like the defense being topnotch. I think the formula would be the same with Dak. This is a silly question, but I just would like to know. When the Bucs won it in 2003, they did it with their defense which was considered one of the best put together. The Ravens won it with their defense. Defense wins championships. Offense makes the crowd cheer.

I just want Dak back to get this whole QB saga over with. The proof will be in the pudding.

My thoughts exactly but having him active as a backup gives the impression that there is a qb controversy to anyone who struggles with a solution that isn’t black and white.

An 80% healthy dak is probably not as good as rush but probably better than Grier.

Hopefully it's rust more than health at this point.
