Twitter: Bayless: "Dak Prescott took a shot at Cooper Rush"

[ChronicCowboy]

Dak is all talk. Prove it big man.

No but he insisted on holding a unnecessary press conference so he could read his ‘heartfelt’ letter.

I love that he did it,it pissed Garrett off.

Ole brainless is at it again…me, me, me..look at me.

No but he insisted on holding a unnecessary press conference so he could read his ‘heartfelt’ letter.

So the team and he could move on. And he praised the guy who replaced him.

Get a clue

He's got every right to start threads.

And this is why I wanted Romo to start in the playoffs in 2016. Pressure from a backup will make the starter better. Romo would have killed it in the playoffs that year, because he's seen what Dak could do. When Dak comes back he'll feel that pressure to be his best, just like Romo would have.

Dak is going to kill it when he comes back. I just wish we could save his best play for the playoffs.

It is not complicated to me. Dak needs to be a bus driver when he gets back. Now Dak can be a better bus driver than Rush, as long as the coaches protect Dak from himself.

What does protecting Dak from himself mean?

Do not assume Dak can carry a team like the great QB's can because he will fail.

Keep the offense ground and pound and playaction off of it. This makes the reads simple for Dak, especially against good defenses. Add some RPO and designed QB runs in the mix. Stop asking Dak to air it out. When Dak faces good defenses and they throw the ball a lot it leads to 3 and outs or turnovers.

Run the clock and play field position, and rest the defense.

Cooper Rush should have taught this team its winning formula. Dak must be apart of that, in order for this team to take another step.

 

[morat1959]

Dak is forgetting that he requires no game planning from opposing defensive coordinators. They WANT the ball in his hand.

This!

If Prescott had an ounce of class he'd call a press conference and say Cooper Rush has earned the right to be the starting QB for the Dallas Cowboys and then retire to broadcasting.

 

[McKDaddy]

It comes from that fact that deep down Prescott knows he's a fraud. That he's not a real franchise QB.

Unfortunately, I think much of his talk is either trying to talk himself into believing or to keep the die hard fans fooled. I'm not sure which it is. Maybe both.

As another poster said, enough beating of the chest. We need some backing it up.

Dak is better than Rush by a fraction of a gnat's hair. Maybe.

Dak has a stronger arm, but he holds the ball forever and sprays it all over the place.

And it appears Rush is even more mobile than Dak now.

And use fancy words like "meritocracy."

In the following off-season, so the team and he could move on. And he praised the guy who replaced him.

Get a clue

It was not in the off-season. You forget easily. The team had already moved on. He and his fans were the only one who hadn’t. You should get a clue.

I never said he didn’t praise him. He handled it fine. The press conference and letter were unnecessary was and is my point.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Don't you dare refer to Skip Bayless as media. That is an insult to those of us in this profession who are not just throwing out clickbait to make ourselves relevant.

99% of the media makes the remaining 1% look bad,,,

 

[DenCWBY]

Agreed. If he didn't believe the offense could go to "another level" when he's considered a franchise QB, wouldn't that be a bad thing? Maybe he shouldn't have stated it, since it can be taken as a slight, but I think he was only expressing confidence in his ability. I hope he's right.

I would understand if he was a 2nd year player who hasn't really been tested or in a position to go deep into the playoffs. But he has and he has failed every time.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Eh maybe, maybe not. I think Dak could be what Rush has been as far as decision making and pressure moments, but he needs to realize that he doesn't have to be the super hero anymore. If Dak can go back to the 2016 version where he was basically a game manager who was able to take some shots when needed he can be better for this team than Rush is. Remember 2016 Dak Prescott was absolute money during pressure situations. If Dak comes back really expecting to take the offense to the next level that concerns me. We don't need this offense to go to the next level. We need to limit the mistakes, get first downs, and score 20-30 per game. If Dak comes back with something to prove and makes it about himself we will see a repeat of 2021. He will get his numbers, but the Cowboys will lose in the end.

Dak has never been a supehero. He got this job because the owner is a moron.
As I’ve said before Dak is Jake Plummer. Who went 50-14 in Denver with Shanahan. But he was never an elite, franchise QB. He was terrible in pressure moments and made stupid mistakes. But because he had Shanahan and his elite run game, it covered up a ton of Plummer’s bad habits and poor play.

I think you're talking about your boy, Wentz....

Listen, he's had seven yrs to prove his worth,and the only thing he's proved is he is a great QB against bad teams,good teams,not so much, especially on the rd...and yes,that 9er game still bugs me.

 

[Staubacher]

He made clear to support the team and the next QB even though he believed (correctly) he was better.

Dak is crapping on a team win streak and making it about him. Only his stans support this weak selfish ploy

If you hit Cooper Rush early he doesn't play the rest of the game with scared happy feet.

But I know of a guy who does.
