You bring up “Rush getting smoked by the Texans” as if the Saints game never happened to Dak lolololololol

Dak fans, I tell ya.
Oh I’m not a Dak fan. Not at all. That was when the Saints were healthy and cooking everyone. I’m just saying Rush hasn’t played tougher opponents. He just hasn’t. He’s played the division and a really terrible Bengals team.

Cooking everyone? They went 2-0 and then lost 7 straight. That’s hardly cooking “everyone”.

Yea they got massively hurt like we did and fell off a cliff. Doesn’t change the point of Rush not playing tougher competition. Period. He’s done well and handled business but saying he’s played harder competition is just wrong.

**** with the fan stuff. Not a fan. Dak played the Ravens, Steelers and Lions. Rush has played Washington, Philly and who…the Bucs? 2 extremely overrated teams with terrible defenses in Washington and the Bucs. It’s not that close of a discussion with Washington’s missed XP and the Saints skew those stats.

It was the second game of the year.
I mean was the best offense and frankly team at that point. With injuries and everything, the season changes teams. When you play them matters. Cincy was supposed to be a good team this year and is trash.

You’re coping hard and I keep winning with facts.

I base it on the numbers that are there.

You’re basing it on your feelings.

I know what the Dak lovers will say. The injuries when Dak was playing is why!! I don’t give a damn about the injuries. Every NFL team has injuries. The brutal truth is that Cooper Rush is 4-3 with the same 2024 team that Dak was 3-5 with. Even if you don’t think Cooper is better than Dak, convince me how Dak is 58 million dollars better than Cooper Rush? I’m not making stories up or misleading anybody. Cooper Rush has a better win loss ratio THIS SEASON! How on earth does this happen!?!? He makes 60 million a year and has been outperformed by Rush. It doesn’t matter how this season ends anymore. The worst Cooper Rush can finish is 4-5. Advantage Rush.
There are still injuries. The big difference is how the defense is playing. Micah & Bland coming back from injury do help, without a doubt, but ultimately the defense is the difference.

That said, Rush is playing well. I said in another thread that the offense now is similar to what Dak ran as a rookie in that it is designed to get the ball out of the QB's hands quickly and just take whatever is available. That works fine as long as either the running game is effective or the defense is playing very well. Before this game the running game had been very effective for several weeks, and the defense has been playing very well. That's the real difference.

I don't give a datn about seriously DDS'd critics who refuse to understand why the season has played out the way it has, those who understand football know why this season has turned out the way it has.

The real question is: Rush + $60M in free agent talent or Dak.

$60M pays for a lot of Derrick Henrys!
Dak fans dont seem to understand this concept, and the jones boys clearly dont understand it either.
The only thing is would the jones boys spend that saved $ or just sit on it?? And if they did spend it would they get the right
players??

My main reason for not wanting to keep dak, was he would cost way too much. Far more than he was worth.

I agree.

If Rush started from week 1 we’re a playoff team.

Rush not starting from jump street is why the season has played out the way it has.

Dak put them in too big of a hole before he quit.
