You must have watched a different game.
The game I watched saw the Cowboys moving the ball well on offense in the first half.
Watch it again, the first drive they moved it well after that the offense was trash until Rush threw up a duck that Brooks did a good job hauling in between two defenders right before the half.

Cooper Rush is a lot better than Dak.
I left the forum, and had no intention of coming back.
But the record needs to be set straight:
Against the Commanders, Rush drove the Cowboys to what should have been six points early from field goals, with Aubrey missing one, while the other was blocked. The Cowboys should have had six more points, making all of the drama at the end unnecessary.
The Cowboys dominated time of possession by eight minutes. This allowed the defense to play better, not being worn out.
Rush moved the ball even when the Cowboys didn't score, letting the Cowboys defense rest.
Rush gave the team the leadership it had been missing. Even vs the Texans he played well. And he is coming in cold, just getting a chance.
The game vs the Eagles is on McCarthy; he restricted the offense, being too tentative to allow Rush to exploit the Eagles defense.
And for the Dak lovers to be trolling and knocking the guy who has breathed life into the Cowboys offense shows they only care about propping up Dak.
The Cowboys can play as a team because they finally have a quarterback. It's not a coincidence that the defense plays better when Rush is in the game. He doesn't go three and out on every series and he lets the defense rest.
It’s not a coincidence that the run game is better because Rush is a threat the defense must account for in the passing game.
Is Rush the answer? I don't know. But he IS better than Dak.
But it is clear that Jerry Jones has wasted the last eight years with Dak, and now the next four.
Dak Prescott IS NOT an elite QB.
Rush, however, has repeatedly proven he is a capable quarterback.
A strong arm is useless if you don't know how to use it. Dak has proved that.
Rush uses his abilities to lead the Cowboys offense.
How can you see that, but the brilliant owner of the Dallas Cowboys didn’t see it? How many other Cowboys players are languishing in reserve roles when they are actually better than the guy playing in front of them? What is Jerry’s problem?

The coaching staff does a better job game planning with Rush than they do with Dak. With Dak making so much I think there is a tendency to make more of the gameplan about him whereas with Rush, it's more about the team and taking pressure off him.

And yet the Rush stans STILL keep saying this. That their QB is somehow the best one on the roster because they don't like the starter and Rush had success 2 seasons ago with a much better offensive team around him and he won games because we ran 1/3 of the playbook and the defense kept us in situations where we didn't need to open it up.

You can't win in the NFL doing this. If you gave Rush an entire year, he'd be one of the worst starting qbs in the league with this team.

If Rush were the better option at QB, he'd have been starting. As idiotic as our coaching staff is, they know a lot more about football than anyone on this board and they see these guys in practice day in, day out.

This is what all nfl teams do with the backup QB in, you have to be more careful with the gameplan because your options are more limited.

Dak is washed and Rush isn't the Guy. The Cowboys better start looking for a QB in the draft.

Right and maybe they should do the same when Dak is in there. Not to the same degree but not put the entire game on Dak either.

Jerry respects contract amounts; the guy who demands more is in his view the better player.

Yeah, I've been saying it for a year. Dak is either number 2 or number 3 in the depth chart.

You claimed you would leave this board if Dak was extended but you never did. When you were called on it you claimed you never said you would leave the board. You just contradicted yourself.
