Cooper Rush is now 7-3 as Cowboys starting QB

Munch on this and GN....................

Zzzzzz

 

[RoboQB]

The polls were from last season when we were riding a 5 game winning streak. The majority of fans were supporting him then. It’s called living in the moment.

Yeah, I remember those polls. I think your memory may be a little fuzzy though. I seem to remember most voting No. A lot of us said nothing matters until he wins a playoff game. He didn't. Others seemed to treat it as a weekly approval/disapproval. The poll would (purposely) not clarify whether it was meant as weekly or seasonal.

Also, everyone who disapproved was repeatedly, and still to this day, branded a "hater" and lumped in with those who just post to get a rise out of the easily offended.

We held the Niners to 23 and 17 pts in 2 playoff losses can you please tell us Mr. Plasticman where our offense was when it wasn't turning the ball over with our QB interceptions???

Indeed.

The first place I would look would be the Cowboys combined rushing total of 43 carries for 153 yards in those games. Now compare that to the 49ers 70 carries for 282 yards.

And before you claim it's because the Cowboys were playing from behind, in the first quarter of those games the Cowboys have a combined16 yards rushing in the first quarter. That's 17 yards in two quarters.

The Cowboys started each game throwing 70% of the time. That is a recipe for defeat in the regular season, pure madness in the playoffs.

Why would your QB throw 43 passes in a game where the opponent scored a total of 23 points.

Why would your QB throw 37 passes in a game where the opponent scored 19 points.

The interceptions were thrown under very questionable circumstances.

The INT in the 1st game occurred on 2nd and 28 late in the 3rd quarter down by 9.

The first INT in the 2nd game was in the 1st quarter. It was 3rd and 9 after two straight running plays netted 1 yard.

the 2nd INT occurred with a minute and a half left in the 2nd quarter on the 49er 18-yard line on 2nd and 2. Get the 1st down, there is time!

I'm not making excuses for the INT's, I'm just questioning the circumstances under which they were thrown and asking why. The offensive imbalance is not playoff football.

Look at the 49er offense in the last, closer game. They had 32 runs and 29 passes.

Again and I repeat..............17 and 23 POINTS even if the Niners had 1000 yards rushing is irrelevant.........and our offense was unable to surpass these point totals with almost Elite (LOL) QB and all-Pro WR etc.

You can make up and post all the excuses in the WORLD but when your defense holds the opponents to the above point totals and you lose the game the only fingers you can point are toward the offense and its leader Mr. Interceptions (think he had 4 total in those 2 games) Prescott!

 

[noshame]

A couple things, I'm a Cooper rush fan, so I'll start with that.
However, much like Dak Prescott , Cooper has a good record against bad teams. This stretch coming up, should decide that one way or another.
Also, last time, Cooper started more than 3 or 4 games. His arm began to get tired and it was obvious by the last couple games. He didn't have the same ability to get the ball out there.
Hoping for the best

Dak Prescott now has a 76-46 winning record. What does it currently mean? Nothing. It takes a team with a highly productive offense and defense and astute coaching and executive management to maintain an exceptionally competitive team more often than not, year after year.

 

[DStar22]

Best win % for Cowboys starting QBs (10+ starts):

Roger Staubach .746
Cooper Rush .700
Craig Morton .696
Danny White .674
Dak Prescott .623

where are Romo and Aikman?

 

[Cmac]

If Cooper was on a mound, tossing shut outs, have a low ERA, pitching 7+ innings.....you'd have me pondering about his win/loss record. Unfortunately, he is behind center, on a football field, on tape.

"Reality is perspective. All you have to do is Believe." Cooper is a backup. That's ok. He is in the "Chase Daniel QB Program." Leave him be and let him do his best.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

how do you know he is changing the plays? often coaches call two plays in and the QB will pick one based on defensive movement and formation (thus the pre-snap movements)..

David Moore said last week that Rush is less likely to check out of a run play than Dak was. Which fits what I see also.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

I have no issue with fans that don’t support Dak.I understand why some don’t but to say he sucks and that the team looks better Rush is ridiculous. I don’t take those fans seriously. They’re just looking to get reactions.

Well usually that should be the case. But this season Dak didn't look good. Some will say it is because the team that is surrounding him. Others think that age, ware and injuries have caught up to him. Now Rush is having some success having even less than Dak had and we have people on here suggesting that for example the OL is better because some people aren't playing anymore and those were holding us back when Dak was playing. That sounds a bit ridiculous to me.

Most of this thread is agenda ridden ridiculousness.

Very well done.

The bolded is an age old maxim that still holds true. Prolific passing O's get beat by Defensive running teams in the playoffs. Very few exceptions. In the case of Brady and now Mahomes, the short passing game substitutes for a running game.

Only one time in NFL history has the passing yardage leader won the super bowl: Mahomes in 2022. Since Mahomes is the best QB in the NFL, it'd be hard to say "if he can do it others can."

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Lol, "tougher teams". Like the Giants, Saints and Browns.

like detroit, pittsburgh, ravens, falcons, all leading their division except for ravens

geez dude, get a hold of yourself......

which makes sense. Rush doesn't trust his arm and has to lean on running game.
plus he is a back up and a back up for good reasons.

LOL. People complain that we don't run enough, someone points out that's likely Dak checking out of too many running plays, then it's a good thing he's checking out of the run because he's the starter.

Very logical.

we suck at everything. so there is plenty to complain about........

Dak wasn’t terrible but it was clearly a down season for him mainly due to the team around him. He had a very solid game in the opener and against the Giants. After a very slow start against Baltimore he came on strong and brought us back from a big deficit and gave us a chance in the closing minutes but our defense was unable to make a critical 3rd down stop. He brought us back against a good Steelers team in the closing seconds to pull the game out. The fans were down on the team before the season ever started due to the lack of offseason moves. Losing a number of players during the offseason really hurt our depth and made suffering injuries even more difficult to overcome. Lately the defense has played a lot better and we’ve run the ball better. That’s the only reason we’ve won the last two games with Rush but some are claiming he’s made the team better.

Most did vote no but there were several polls during our winning streak where the majority of the fans voted yes. I posted one of the polls from last season with more 70% voting yes but as soon as we lost to GB it dropped to around 15% voting yes because fans were living in the moment. The week before the Packers game more than half the fans voted yes. This is a fickle fan base that lives from week to week with players and the team.

first, if niners rushed for a 1000 yards, then they are controlling the clock, limiting your touches and thus it impacts the offense scoring....so lesson learned for you. you are welcome.

second, Dak is not Elite, no one argues he is elite, so you building that narrative so later you argue against it is just plain stupid.

no excuses. Dak played bad.

but do you think anybody else on the team played well? I will wait for you to message your cult brother for some answers...but I am expecting you shooting a blank
