Cooper Rush is 4-3 with the same team Dak was 3-5 with

[TheMarathonContinues]

What are you laughing at? What he said was true.

All of you are funny lol. It’s funny Rush plays well and Dak gets brought up by the people who claim to not like him lol. You guys talk about Dak more then any fan would so now I’m wondering who the real “slobberers” are lol.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I think the team plays harder for Rush than Dak. Idk I could be wrong but it’s something I’ve noticed. Maybe because he’s not the starter so they think they need to help Cooper more? It’s weird to me!!

I think it just looks that way because we haven’t faced an actual good team in weeks. If they beat Philly then yeah I’m gonna start wondering myself why they play harder.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Bro it just looks bad and very ambitious putting Dak n Mahomes in the same category, but my bad.

I get you guys say this but my intent when I do it is we all know Mahomes is the best….yet he has had 7 games of interceptions…Dak is nowhere near Mahomes but for some reason people hold him to a higher standard. I’m just saying bringing up Mahomes kills the narrative that picks lead to 47 points being scored on you.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

The Cowboys only have 3 wins vs winning teams.

Seems like it should be more….Steelers, Commanders and Buccs…..well it may be just those 3.

 

[Sheepish]

People need to look at the context of these victories. While I do think that we overpaid for Dak, I don't think it's at all clear that Rush puts this team in the playoffs

1. Browns sucked then and now (1-0 Dak)
2. Saints had hot start with Carr and are mainly bad because of several close losses against good teams (1-1 Dak)
3. Ravens are a good team and had backs against wall with 0-2 start (1-2 Dak)
4. Giants sucked then and now (2-2 Dak)
5. Dak beat Steelers with Justin Fields (3-2 Dak)
6. Lions are NFC's best (3-3 Dak)
7. 49ers turned out bad but had injuries and tough schedule, they are still very solid (3-4 Dak)
8. Falcons are ok, Dak gets injured, Rush has little prep, still close game (3-5 Dak)
9. Eagles, well you know (0-1 Rush)
10. Texans are good (0-2 Rush)
11. Commanders are good, the one good team Rush beats (1-2 Rush)
12. Giants suck (2-2 Rush)
13. Bengals are bad (2-3 Rush)
14. Panthers are horrible (3-3 Rush)
15. Bucs are ok (4-3 Rush)
16. Eagles
17. Commanders

Of these, Dak beat 2 teams that sucked and one good team that was playing a subpar QB.
But 4 of 5 of Dak's losses were against arguably good teams (Ravens, Lions, 49ers, Falcons)

Looking at that schedule, Dak played the harder teams and I seriously doubt Rush does better against the Ravens, Lions, and 49ers. And you can make a case that Dak beats the Bengals plus at least 1/2 against Commanders and Bucs.

So I don't see that starting Rush from the beginning of the season puts this team in the playoffs.

 

[mardwin]

Biggest take away for me is rush has only been sacked 12 times the entire season while Dak is still sitting at 21 times sacked. How you interpret that goes along way into how you view both performances this season.

Dak hurts the team with his lack of mobility and poor pocket awareness.

 

[Chuck 54]

Same team? You lost me right there. It’s not even the same team that Rush took over when he produced 1 TD in two weeks and had 45 yards passing vs Philly….lol. During our 5 game losing streak the offense and defense were both a disaster.

 

[Vanilla2]

If it says anything it’s that the playcaller needs to be more helpful to dak. Does that mean limiting the available audibles? Maybe but the game plan needs to be more patient. Is it possible for Dak to be less aggressive? Not sure cuz chicks dig the long ball

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.

Rush is a serviceable backup and nothing more.

1. Dak has led us to the playoffs before, Dak has been a perennial top 10 player his whole career, Dak has been an All-Pro and an MVP candidate.

What playoffs have Rush led us to? Why didn't Rush lead us to the playoffs this season?

When has Rush EVER been a top 10 quarterback?

When has Rush ever had an All-Pro season?

When has Rush's name been tossed in the MVP conversation? When has Rush ever led the league in TDs and passing yards?

Dak has done all of those things that Rush has never done and will NEVER do.

Rush has been in the league one year less than Dak and has bounced off and on practice squads and held a clipboard his whole career aside of a few games here or there.

Dak isn't elite, but Cooper Rush's name should NOT be in the same conversation as a perennial top 10, former All-Pro and MVP candidate.

According to your logic, Trent Dilpher and Nick Foles were better quarterbacks than Dan Marino and Jim Kelly because Dilpher and Foles were able to do what Kelly and Marino couldn't....

Dilpher and Foles won Superbowls.

So clearly it's "advantage" Dilpher and Foles correct?

He has to be amazing, he beat out Phenom Trance who was a top 3 pick.

i ain't a dak fan, but we had zero D in that run.

What ridiculous questions..........

How many full seasons has Rush played?... to be an MVP candidate you would have to play a few games eh.

Don't know why you people cant just be happy for him.

He is a limited back-up QB who is getting some wins.. good on him.

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

Biggest take away for me is rush has only been sacked 12 times the entire season while Dak is still sitting at 21 times sacked. How you interpret that goes along way into how you view both performances this season.

Dak was playing hero ball and Rush is playing his role within the system. Dak also threw 8 picks vs the 3 Rush has thrown.

I’m not saying Cooper is better than Dak .Thats a HUGE reach and just not the case. But the question you have to ask yourself is, could you pay a backup type QB 10 million and use 50 million to get some more players to build a better team.

It’s the people that are saying he is better than a 2nd team all pro qb that can’t “just be happy for him”. They have to try to make it more than what it is.

 

[DFWJC]

Rush: 2 INTs in 7 starts
Dak: 8 INTs in 8 starts

Dak was having an awful year.
I think he was ranked 26th among starting QBs (statistically) when his season ended.

The vast majority of thread topics convert to Dak. They just can't help it.

Let’s see Dak played Detroit ,San Francisco , Pittsburgh, Cleveland,Giants , Saints , Baltimore , Atlanta! 4 playoffs teams 3 Division leaders - Rush Philadelphia, Houston , Bucs , Bengals, Giants ,Washington,Panthers 2 Division leaders 3 playoff teams!
