I could not be happier, who else in the league has a back up that has performed as well. We still have close to 3/4 of the season left . Next time we face that team. It will be in our house and we will prevail. They are not the best team in the division in my opinion. They just have the best record. All cowboy fans. And I mean all cowboy fans should be happy right now. Go cowboys

Rush has proven that this team is good enough to win with a backup. The Cowboys have talent.

Agreed. All things considered, last week & the way our schedule shakes out works out for us in the long run.

(1) Rush’s awful play vs Philly will prevent other teams potentially viewing him as QB1 & poaching him for us. To me, he should be a career backup for us & this seems more likely now.
(2) Dak returns v DET/CHI @ home. He needs to create positive momentum for himself & the offense against these two subpar teams at home.
(3) We have the week 9 bye for the team to reevaluate itself and head into the final stretch of the season.

A bad loss/poor performance from Dak in the DET or CHI game will hurt. If Dak comes back and we go back to back victories scoring 30+ with the pass game rounding into form, we will be in great shape.

Of course the question will again be how does Dak perform against the playoff teams. To be seen, but it is clear Rush isn’t the answer at QB1 but is an elite QB2.

My only thought is it may be better to "rest" Dak until after the bye. An injured thumb can be very painful and take a long time to return to 100%. And, yes, I'm no doctor, just a concerned fan

Every QB has a tough game. Packers 3-3 Tampa Bay 3-3 KC 4-2.

Cowboys fans are a tough crowd.

I would wait one more week.
Get him the start v. the Bears; he gets gametime in a home marchup to
1)shake off the rust
2) test/ramp up his conditioning
3) then Prescott has a bye week to recover from the bumps and bruises in basically restarting his 2022 season
4) has had game action to bolster his ability and confidence to match up on the road against a conference rival that will playing a home game after 3 games on the road (GB @ WAS, @ BUF, @ DET before hosting DAL Nov 13th)

I come to bury Rush, not praise him.
...The good is oft interred with their bones.

Excellent idea, radio lad.

Why? Seriously do you think dak is injured . you don’t like winning with the best people on the field

I hope you don't think Dak is going to come back and instantly start churning out 400 yards and 35 points a game. He's going to be rusty as hell.

He threw 3 picks. They got away from the run. Elliot was running tough. He needed 5 more carries. MM needed to challenge that pass. Was a first down.

There seems to be a mental thing against sticking with the run. I realize there are lots of weapons but when running the ball seems to be working, they abandon it

He was great as the backup to the defensive led team. Couldn’t ask for more.
