Cooper Rush is now 7-3 as Cowboys starting QB

[CowboysFever1973]

For context:

He went 1-0 a few seasons ago.
He went 4-1 a couple seasons ago.

He now has gone 2-2 in a season that Dak went 3-5. There’s no reason to keep paying Dak every season if Cooper Rush can win games. Why are we paying one player 60 million when the other is serviceable enough to win games when Dak is injured? I don’t get it!

Rush is 2-2 through 4 starts this year.

Dak was 2-2 through 4 starts this year also.

The difference?

The combined record of the teams Dak faced is 17-29 while Rush's is 25-22.

Dak played 1 team that currently has a winning record through 4 starts this year. Rush has only played 1 team that doesn't have a winning record through 4 starts this year.

Nice catch. Good post as always!

Rush is better.

He’s limited but gets the job done for cheap. Will be glad when we draft a good quarterback. He plays smart usually

If this doesn’t prove that Dak ain’t worth 60 a year then nothing will. Rush beating Cincinnati will surprise who at this point?

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Oh and Rush is doing it without Martin, Smith, and Ferguson too.

You have "fans" here talking about how Dak is playing with bums while Rush is just doing his thing with those "bums" backups.

Super bowl - I'm calling it now. They just beat a major juggernaut. No one will stand in their way now.

Rush for MVP. If Dak can get a vote (just 1, mind you) so can Rush.

What Jerry should have avoided doing is overpaying Stats Trashcott 60 mil when he could get the same results (or better) with a different QB making 2.5

The desperateness by Dak haters is beyond pathetic.

There's no desperation, we all truly hope Dak is enjoying his time in the press box. Maybe he will want to stay there.

7-3 as a starter. So maybe that will get some teams to be interested in going after Cooper Rush this offseason and the Cowboys can get some draft compensation for him. Other NFL GMs should eventually be impressed by all this 7-3 record at some point.

Yes, just like Dak will remain your QB the next 4 years. Are you going to be ok?

He's playing better than dak. That's been obvious since game one.

There’s a legitimate chance he could go 9-3 too.

 

[CowboyStar88]

7-3 is pretty good for QB2 with limited talent. He’s good for what he is, and does what he’s asked. He’s the perfect backup QB.

Those “we HAVE to pay Dak” fans are getting quieter and quieter

Every other team would have waited until the end of this season to evaluate if he's really worth that much money. We could have gotten him for so much cheaper or we could have let his *** walk and just paid Rush and drafted a quarterback. But nope, now we're stuck with him.
