He should definitely be able to help Lance. We’ll see how the season goes and what he can do with a few full offseasons.

Rush was already developed imo.
I'd love to some Alex Smith type play from Lance, but I think he's more aggressive downfield. Interested to see how this experiment goes.

Credit the Cowboys for remaining entertaining. I am looking forward to seeing how this experiment goes.

This is one of the biggest holes in your "analysis." You front run and only consider the very best to be worthwhile. Developing a guy with very little arm or athletic talent into a competent NFL QB is an accomplishment.

Of course you cannot predict greatness either but hey at least you troll twitter so you can post news first.

Good point. Without Cooper Rush stepping up, the Cowboys probably would have missed the playoffs last year.

Backup quarterback is an important position.

Yep,
He was hands off on the offense as he himself publicly stated it was all Kellen's.
And then it's almost like trying to credit him with the defensive turnaround. And forgetting Nolan was his first choice. Combined with the uncertainty surrounding the Quinn hire.
Was Mike the real instigator in reaching out for Quinn?
But yeah the McCarthy groupies are content to give full credit to the title holder head coach while for the last 3 years (pre-Moore's firing) its been a Coordinator driven team.

But yeah, hope springs eternal and all that.
Go Mike.
My favorite crow is medium well.

10. Jason Garrett (1993-1999)​

Regular season record: 6-3

No. 16 All-Time Cowboys Passing Yardage: 2,042​

When a team has found as many franchise quarterbacks as the Cowboys have, it's hard to find 10 guys who were long-time starters. That's why a few reserves found their way into the conversation and while Cooper Rush could wind up overtaking this spot with another run, Jason Garrett comes in as No. 10.


9. Steve Beuerlein (1991-1992)​

No. 21 All-Time Cowboys Passing Yardage: 1,061​

Again, when a team has had as many long-term signal callers as the Cowboys have, there are some players who crack the top 10 that fans normally wouldn't think of. That's the case with Steve Beuerlein who was with the franchise for just two seasons and played in a total of 24 games with four starts — and he was 4-0 in those starts.

Beuerlein was added ahead of the 1991 season as Jimmy Johnson wanted a trusted backup to play behind Troy Aikman. Beuerlein just spent three seasons with the Raiders and was 8-7 with 3,320 yards and a 21-to-16 touchdown-to-interception ratio.

8. Drew Bledsoe (2005-2006)​


No. 11 All-Time Cowboys Passing Yardage: 4,803​

For much of Bill Parcells' short tenure with Dallas, he was looking for a quarterback. After trying out Quincy Carter, Vinny Testaverde, Drew Henson, and Chad Hutchinson, he thought he had his guy in 2005. The Buffalo Bills just released Drew Bledsoe and he reunited with Parcells, who picked him first overall when he was the head coach of the New England Patriots.

Bledsoe had a lot of success with the Pats, even making it to Super Bowl XXXI, although they lost to Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers. With Dallas, he was also reuniting with Terry Glenn as well, another former Patriot.


7. Don Meredith (1960-1968)​


No. 6 All-Time Cowboys Passing Yardage: 17,199​

After staring at SMU, the Chicago Bears selected "Dandy" Don Meredith in the third round of the NFL Draft but he never played a snap for them. Instead, he signed a "personal services" contract with Tecon Corporation ahead of the draft — a company that was owned by Clint Murchison who was starting a new NFL team — the Cowboys.

This led to Meredith playing with Dallas instead although he hardly saw the field as a rookie. Eddie LeBaron got the bulk of the snaps, going 0-9-1. Meredith did record one start but it was another loss for the Cowboys. As a rookie, he finished with 281 yards and a 2-to-5 touchdown-to-interception ratio.

6. Craig Morton (1965-1974)​

5. Danny White (1976-1988)​

4. Dak Prescott (2016-Present)​

3. Tony Romo (2003-2016)​

2. Roger Staubach (1969-1979)​

1. Troy Aikman (1989-2000)​

Dallas might have been known as a run-first offense during that stretch but Aikman was insanely clutch in the postseason. In 1992, he managed to throw for 795 yards with eight touchdowns and no picks. He even led them to a massive 52-17 win over the Bills that year to capture the title.

In all, Aikman threw for 32,942 yards with 165 touchdowns in the regular season and added 3,849 yards and 23 touchdowns in the playoffs. Despite playing with the NFL's all-time rushing leader, Aikman is still second in franchise history in passing yardage and touchdowns (behind only Tony Romo in each category).
