Did need a kick return for a TD. Got two of them.
It's beyond me how people don't notice obvious stuff like that.
This. x2.
The team currently wins with Rush at about the same % as Dak, little better actually. Does that mean Rush is better?
Well, yes, the Green Bay game was an exception and I will commit to you that Quinn was leaving the defense new it, nobody on this team was ready for a playoff game. As usual.
His type of D only works against weak teams. Wasn't amazing at all. It's like being able to beat up the handicapped.
Every game he loses is also a game Dak definitely would have won. Too bad Rush didn't start all year, Dak would be undefeated.
Yeah, it was horrible. The year before against San Francisco in the playoffs, right
Can you say two special teams TDs? Seriously folks. Rush did what we have always seen him do.. Lead the offense to about 20 points. If not for Turpin (and the Washington kicker) bailing us out this would have been a loss. Please pay attention to the games!
Huh? Rush's completion percentage is significantly lower than Dak's. And if DB's could catch he would have thrown 5 INTs against Houston. What games are you watching?
So he deserves no credit for wins and all the points we were scoring until this season? We led the league in offense with him twice. He led the league in TDs last season. He deserves no credit for the win over the Steelers on our final play? Every game we win with Rush he receives a lot of credit, mainly from the fans that hate Dak. Look at this Rush appreciation thread that’s 33 pages and counting. Lol He did little in the first half. Had it not been for our defense and the two kick returns for TDs we would have lost despite Washington not playing well. I saw one post with a fan claiming had Rush started this season we might be 7-4 instead of 4-7 despite the fact we’re 1-2 with Rush. This is a crazy fan base.
Enjoy it while you can because in about a month you won't be able to say this anymore. The team has to play a different style of football with Rush under center vs Dak. The way they play with Dak is higher risk/reward. You can win with either but one requires the defense to show up for games. Dak has won games in which the defense gave up 37 and 39 points. Guarantee you that aint hapnin with Rush slingin it. Make no mistake, I prefer the "Rush" game plan by a large margin because I love the running game and smashmouth football way more than the high flyin sling it every down style. But it is what it is. Rush has never led the offense to more than 25 points in any of his 9 starts if I'm not mistaken. He's a limited player who requires a limited game plan.
The team isn’t the same as last year. Do you not see that? With the way our defense played until the last 33 seconds with two KOs for TDs, along with a decent running game there’s no doubt in my mind we would have won on Sunday with Dak. Anyone who thinks we wouldn’t have, thinks Cooper Rush is better than Dak. Those fans can’t be taken seriously. Do you think Rush is better than Dak? You sure sound like you think he is.
How many games did the defense score TD's in last year? Do we take those W's away from Dak too?
I agree. Quinn appeared to be exceptional like you said against weaker teams, combined with the fact that he stressed going for turnovers. The TO's were nice when it happened but his defense was nothing special against the better teams, and I'll never forget the way his defense fell apart against Green Bay.
I prefer this style as well. Dak doesn't like to play this way though. He wants to play hero-ball and they weren't winning more than 7 or 8 with Dak either. End of the day, Rush sucks, but I love watching him make everyone in this organization squirm at the realization that they didn't have to sell out the future of the team to sign him.
