I remember being there live, watching that play and telling Jerry Jones that Rush would be 4-0 whenever he got his chance to shine.


The best part of CFB is the randomness that can win or lose games.

CM should of never gotten that ball back but a dumb pass gave them that shot.

next time read his scouting report.

Strengths
Started all but three games during his career and was team captain in his junior and senior seasons
Defined by cerebral approach
Has a bachelor of science degree in actuarial science off-the-field and master's in full-field reads on the field
Juggernaut in the film room
Hits the field with well-conceived plans of attack based on his studies
Makes all the pre-snap decisions rather than looking to the sideline
Quick processor able to scan and decide rapidly

Interceptions rarely the result of poor decisions
Overcomes arm deficiencies with outstanding timing and accuracy
Anticipatory thrower with a feel for developing windows
Able to lead receivers on crossing routes and long balls and can throw receivers open underneath
Very good natural accuracy

Completion percentage penalized by excessive drop totals
Good pocket poise
Climbs pocket with eyes downfield when heat comes around the corners and can slide left or right before delivering accurate strikes
Has a history from under center in play-action, and pro-style attack and works all three levels of the field

Dump-downs are only a final option

everything dak can't do.

Rush has an effortless throwing motion, I mean he is not going to win any arm strength contests but his motion is the same whether heaving one or dumping it off.

If you're open-minded enough to consider it at this point in his career, without being offended by a comparison, for comparison's sake, he throws similarly to Kurt Warner.

His TE, Tyler Conklin, is in the league as well. He’s a solid player.

This was the first time I ever saw or heard of Cooper Rush. He was the starting QB for the Central Michigan Chippewas in their stunning 2016 upset of 22nd ranked Oklahoma State in Stillwater. The Chippewas scored on the game’s last play to defeat Okla State 30-27. Rush threw for 364 yards, 4 TDs and an INT.

Also playing in that game for Okla State was current Cowboy WR James Washington and current Steelers 3rd string QB Mason Rudolf.

I recall that but of course we didn’t know Rush. And had forgotten he was in that game. Had much more mobility then. OK ST has had some heartbreaking losses. My nieces both went there. And my brother had season tickets while they attended.

You're killing it with the scout write ups on both of 'em bro.

Funny how there's no responses to your professional scout posts as to dispute the facts.

Truth hurts, lol
