When your defense plays the way it has, you're getting good pass protection and able to set up play action because you at least create a running game existence.

You can make clear headed decisions and therefore generate an effective QBR.

Kudos to Rush though, he's doing his job as a backup.

But Rush should not be mentioned in the same sentence as a Mahomes and Allen when it come to talent at the QB position.

Tua, is still an enigma. We'll see.

4th in the league!

Just heard on First Take.

Behind Mahomes, Tua, and Josh Allen.

Thoughts?

hes played very smart football and, while not flashy, its been really what was needed with a great defense to balance it out...just enough. Kudos to him

A good defense helps you to stay away from taking unnecessary chances. He's been good with the ball. But even he says the defense has been winning these games, not him.

He's been a good bus driver

He's chin in the pocket is something else right now. He doesn't show any emotion and doesn't seem to be phased right now.

Dak used to be very good in qbr too. Just saying. "Ducks"

Dak’s QBR in 2021 was not as high as he typically has despite it being a statistically prolific year. I think he was a 54, with 50 being average. He got knocked for having his big games against the worst defenses he played, and no show games like Denver and KC

I think Cooper is a very cerebral QB. My assessment is he reads defenses well and makes quick decisions. When he can act on those decisions his throws are right on the money with enough velocity. If the defense can knock him off the spot he doesn't have the arm strength to overcome that. But, he doesn't have good pocket awareness and that innate ability to sense the pass rush. I'm impressed with him. If he gets the chance time will tell. With experience he could get even better. With experience he could get exposed. It could be somewhere in the middle. Regardless he's shown this team doesn't need to pay a huge contract to a QB.

Not to turn this into a comparison, would this be more the supporting cast than the QB in this case? Imagine what A-aron would do with this team? I'm thinking Zeke benefited behind a good oline.. Same with Demarco Murray. My opinion, is there's some managers in the office who's looking at stats and not their own eyes.

Good point, not much film on him. I'm assuming he's playing vs the Rams. This will be real test. Dallas would be smart to let him play that game to see what they really have.
