Better To Bite The Bullet Than Extend Dak

Rush started 5 games last season, not 6. He had one prior to last season.

Regardless, QB wins is a made up stat. Rush is undefeated when the opponent is held to 17 or less. The one time they got more he couldn't keep up. The Cowboys scored more than a TD per game with Dak at the helm. That's not saying Dak's elite and give him another bag, but he's better than Cooper Rush. The NFL verified that when no one went after Rush in free agency after his stellar 2022 season. He resigned with the Cowboys.

Aiden O'Connell didn't complete a pass after the first quarter in KC. The Raiders won anyway. What a great win orchestrated by O'Connell, I guess.

I don't think Cooper Rush is a generational talent by any means. There's a reason he's carrying a clipboard for sure

I injected his name because I don't believe this idea that if we move on from Dak we're going to be 5-12 in perpetuity

Rush, whatever anyone thinks of his abilities, proved that last year

Russ is not a leader of men. Russ never had the full respect of his teammates in Seattle or Denver. Russ doesn't run an offense that is on schedule. Cooper Rush did and Dak came back and had to admit he can learn from that. Russ wants to "cook" ...which means off-script twirl plays. I want Dak replaced but - if all things are equal as you say - I don't need someone else's problem child to give me the same crap.
If you can get the same for half the price, why not?

We know what we have in Dak. He is who he is. Nothing will change.

If we want to make it to the top ... then, it's gonna have to be with someone else at QB. Because Dak's not taking us there ... and definitely won't for $60 mil a year.

But if common sense is called for ... Jerry will do the opposite.

After the way that Detroit Lions defender whiffed on Dak when he should have had a safety, but instead CeeDee Lamb got a 92 yard touchdown, it seems clear that Jerry will write enough checks to keep Dak looking good.
That was sickening to watch because I have seen this stuff too often.
Lol. It was sickening to watch the QB of your team make a great play for a td? You poor soul.

Yea and the economy is doing great. Tell a lie enough and it becomes truth huh?
The economy us am
I agree.. but its better than it was when the #1 draft pick would get paid more than established stars.

Rookie contracts were the best rule change for decades.. imo
The best way for owners to screw over players. They are scared of the free market.

There is a rush to do something.

He's due a $5 million roster bonus in March, if he's still on the team.

29 Million in base.

60 Mill dead cap hit.

2025-26 are void.

Only way out of this mess is to cut him.

Yeah bring in a losing qb made of glass who got beat out by Sam Donald. Brilliant.

Guys @leeblair is clearly trolling you and you're buying it

He's making fun of the conspiracy theories flying around this board the last few weeks about how the league and the refs are stacked against us

And doing a pretty good job of getting you all riled up in the process

How people have not noticed this yet about this guy baffles me. Some people on this forum just want attention. How do you do that? Just bash Dak. Win/Win for them.

Dak IS NOT a good quarterback.
He's been coddled more than any player in the NFL despite his repeated choking in big games.
He's been surrounded by talent and has been the reason that talent didn't succeed every year.
Stop ignoring the facts and his history.
He doesn't deserve an extension.
He’s leading the league in td’s. Do you really think a bad QB accomplishes that? Try to use facts and not your feelings.

Dak delivered 2 late drives in the last 2 weeks and your saying he hasn't done anything?

You wanna really make it interesting and divide the fanbase? Let Dak go and draft Shadeur Sanders. This board would be unbearable. I mean, it already is sometimes.
