The Cowboys' FO consistently over-values & overpays players in the sunsets of their careers. A serious organizational defect that has systematically destroyed the football end of a "marketing organization that plays football on the side."

Cooper Rush is a bottom 5 QB and I don't care what his record is. The offense struggled to score 20 points again yesterday against a 2-10 team. He averaged 5.4 yards per attempt which is horrible. Dak was having a bad year before his injury. There is no doubt about that, but the suggestion that Rush is anything more than a backup QB is silly.. He's been around awhile.

While people are making excuses for Rush because he is a backup and rusty or whatever, the Giants played a backup QB yesterday too. It was his first game this year. He managed 4 scoring drives and put up as many points as Cooper Rush's offense.

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!
Because Rush beat bad teams with lots of help from the defense and special teams. When he has faced good teams, he has lost miserably. Most games are team wins and team loses. It’s stupid to put either entirely on the QB. Maybe you’ve forgotten what the offense has looked like and are only looking at the game results.

That we're getting the same results with a 3rd string/practise squad callibre QB says more about Dak than it does about Rush. We'd probably be in playoff contention with even a 2nd string calibre QB?

Why dont you and the rest of the Dak fanatics say this when he beats on the Giants every year?
Actually, I don't harp on the winning games Dak is behind the center of the Cowboys. Didn't do it with Tony Romo, as well. Instead of grabbing the pompoms.....I watch team play, how the game played out (Overshown TD), mistakes, game stats, who on the other side (Drew Lock) and who flashed on film to help create the wins or losses.

Example: Yesterday, Overshown continues to flash in games. Dowdle certainly stood out with 20+ carries. OL played a bit better. Cooper was Cooper. And Mike McCarthy "ran the ball" (sometimes attempts matter over yardage)

Now if some want to hail Cooper .....so be it. Let's continue with the one read, short passes and as the competition expands......see if limitations breed creativity. More film on Cooper. I'm pulling for Cooper, but the eye test ain't doing it. I'm not confusing Cooper's record, as if he were a MLB pitcher on the mound slinging sliders, knuckleballs, fast balls, and curves.

But respect for you and others.....Hooray Cooper!. You about to get paid, according to the Fan Club.

We’re 2-2 with Cooper Rush and 3-5 without him. I don’t give two ***** about the quality of opponents. That’s an excuse that even Dak lovers used to get annoyed at so they don’t get to use it here. If we had a decent qb then yes we would have been better than 3-5!

Nah, you Dak haters are not even Cowboys fans. Y'all are them old butthurt Romo rump kissers.
When all else fails it’s time for the head Romo hater to throw Romo under the bus, Aikman is next Staubach is next because at this point all the other excuses are gone. You being the number one Romo hater should have followed your own advice and found a new team because you’re not a real Cowboys fan. LMAO at how hurt, broken and angry you are, keep lashing out and insulting members it’s really fun watching your meltdown.

Rush is an objectively terrible QB from a physical tools standpoint. He is probably near one of the worst back ups in the NFL. He doesn't move well, has a slow release and poor arm strength. Not super accurate on deep throws either. When playing the Cowboys, teams know it and just ignore the tough throw routes because they aren't on the table.

That said, he just takes what he is given and doesn't do dumb stuff. There is significant value in that.

Cooper Rush's success isn't about Cooper Rush's talent. Its more about the fact that QB's are overvalued unless you have a superstar. Its back to the Parcells "bus driver" speeches. You just have to drive the bus and keep it on the road and let your teammates win the game.

Right, and AC flops like a fish out of water. One day, Dak should not get paid that much money. Someone in another thread says something about Dak's money being to much, guess who come to Dak's defense? Those Dak lovers are hurting so bad they don't know if they are coming or going.

You guys think rush is better than dak. How many games was dallas blown out when the defense couldn't stop anyone and dak had to throw to try and comeback in games. Now the defense is coming together and keeping offense in it. Cause even though he won the last 2 the offense is still no better than it was prior to dak going down

We’ve gotten injured players back including Bland who never played a down this season while Dak was in the lineup. We just had the best rushing game we’ve had all season. We’ve scored 21 points the past two games with a defensive score and two special teams scores. Everything has been going our way lately against a couple of struggling teams that haven’t won a game in weeks. Even a bum QB can win when everything is going our way.
the last three consecutive seasons of 12-game winning football would seem to confirm your assertion re ‘any bum’ QBs

Tears flowing, hate building, thank goodness they deleted your posts saves you from embarrassment. Imagine a less than a jag doing as good as your hero but here you are daily doing what you do best crying, hating, bashing and being obtuse keep up the delightful commentary, when AC posts we know it’s wrong, good job with the misinformation and almost facts it’s certainly entertaining

Silly is suggesting Dak is anything more than a backup QB as well.

Yeah, I miss Dak lighting it up against the Giants, Patriots, Jets, Carolina and Washington. His leadership is tremendously missed.

Struggled to score 20? Kind of like Dak leading the charge for the entire season? He's washed.

It’s not debatable that Dak is better, is he that much better to rate 57.5 million more, the answer is no, you don’t cripple a team by paying a middle tier QB elite money. Doesn’t matter his mediocre play is here for 4 more years, but after 9 seasons of Dak and 29 seasons of Jerry fans are use to the failures every year, the bar is beating the Giants the worst team in football and it’s celebrated like a SB
