Rush is not the answer for this team. He is benefitting from a easier playbook and finally a back that can run. When dak had a fresh zeke. You could play action and screens.
Rush is playing with the same team Dak was playing with. An easier playbook now? And a running back?

Man, the excuse that clown gets is actually sad.

The point of this thread is Dak is crap lol. Noodle armed Rush has s better record because he reads a d better. Gets ball out quicker

Rush has less upside then Dak. He however protects the ball much better and takes less risk. Honestly don't know which one gives us a better chance win and that's huge. The guy who is the highest priced player in the league should be able to make all the throws, limit turnovers and motivate the team. Dak was not playing at anything close to an elite level this year before he was hurt.

He is paid as the highest player in the NFL and is not even the best player in the league or his team. Let that sink in.

Can we compare strength of schedule in the games Dak started vs Rush? Lol... Look we all know Dak was having a poor season, as was the entire Cowboy team. Rush started having more success when the D wasn't total Swiss cheese and they found a run game. Dak hasn't played up to his contract no one can argue that, but claiming 1 player is better than the other based on a partial season record feels a bit off.

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.
Agreed ! The Davidians are gauging their eyes out , and I love it @! Everyone now sees what A lot of us have been saying for Years , Daks Blows !!

Dak played poorly this season. Poor in the red zone. Poor with regard to turnovers. Poor at sensing pressure.

Rush has unquestionably outplayed Dak this season, while looking like exactly what he (Rush) is: a quality backup quarterback.

Either Dak shakes off whatever plagued him this year, or that contract will go down as one of the worst in history.

I dont think so. Hes 31, and has questionable arm strength. He's a good back up, but i don't think he's going to get any substantial offers, or starting opportunities. Just my guess though.
I'm just trying to help with messages for Cooper's agent, based on board thoughts. After all, he's coming up on 3rd time to get money. NYG, Las Vegas, Cleveland, Tennessee, and New Orleans may want to call, at least for a "bridge" QB to give a rookie a chance. I'm just trying to help the Fan Club too.

At 31, he is clean of injury. Time to forget guys like Gardner Minshew, Mason Rudolph, Andy Dalton and Jameis Winston. Go get paid better Cooper.

The difference between Mahomes and Dak is greater than the difference between Dak and Rush.
That is the most simple breakdown yet. Neither QB will get it done in Dallas. An elite QB is sorely needed to even think about a deep playoff run.

But he isn't - not even close. Dak played with most of the starters and sucked. When he quit the rest of starters, minus CeeDee, slowly followed suit with their "surgeries".

What starters, aside from CeeDee, has Rush had the luxury of playing with since he took over? That list is very short.

Rush has played against teams with stronger winning records...so...unfortunately Dak can't even worm his way out of it based on schedule. The conclusion is a simple one...Dak is a bum.

It’s even more sad the people that actually type that out and hit post reply thinking they’ve won the argument.

Is it a state secret as to why we have had a running game since Dak got hurt? Outside of last night, Dowdle has been great and the Tampa run D is solid. Without looking at time of possession stats I am fairly certain that under Rush our offense, although not electric, has held onto the ball longer with his dink and dunks. Instread of Dak and his deer in a headlight play, we are keeping the other teams O off the field. In no coincidence, our D is playing stronger not being forced to stay on the field an entire game. This isn't rocket science, it's QB smarts that one has...and one well.........even though Tampa has a slight advantage in this last night it was somewhat neglible and allowed our injured D to control the game while our offense stumbled down the stretch

Prescott looks a lot better sitting on his behind than throwing a football!!!
