Cooper Rush makes the Cowboys a better team

[Staubacher]

Dak is exactly what Diggs said he was in camp. Rush is very limited but at least he isn't that

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I want to feel this way but I cannot really justify it with any real reasoning so I will speak in circular arguments with no substance.

 

[leeblair]

Look at the post above. 2 of 11 on third down Sunday at Washington. You claim Dak can't sustain drives like Rush?

Outside of this season, with a young/banged up line and poor running back/receiver play, the Dak Prescott-led offense has ranked at or near the top in every meaningful statistical category over the past several years. Pulling false logic out of the air just because you don't like Dak doesn't make it true.

Rush is not the answer. Unless the question is "who is a solid backup QB"?

Neither is Dak, unless the question is "Who finished off the Dallas Cowboys?"

 

[CWR]

The emergence and decision to make Rico RB-1 may had a lot to do with Cooper's better performance Sunday.

I've been begging for it since about week 3. The whole committee thing was always stupid. They were pretending we were rotating Gibbs and Montgomery or something.

 

[CWR]

Just watching seems liek Dak timing is really off, very rarely jsut drops back and takes what the defense gave him. Everything is a struggle,


Dak throws terrible safety outlet check down throws. They’re constantly inaccurate leading to the receiver taking a hit or a loss.

Last night I saw Lamar hit this little checkdown for only 3 yards, but jsut the velocity and arm angle he did it I was thinking Dak could never. He jsut doesn’t have that flexibility. His bag is limited

The last time we went down this road coaches took a couple weeks and figured out what Rush could and couldn't do. It was tough sledding for the offense after that and they almost immediately started putting up points with Dak.

I'm hoping it doesn't go the same way this year. Much as tanking sounds like the best thing for the team, I do enjoy winning.

It likely won't happen, but it would be hilarious if Rush takes Dallas on a multi game winning streak and at least puts them in position to be contending for a wildcard spot.

 

[shabazz]

Beat the NYG Thursday and the tankers will be mad, the Dak fans will have excuses, and Rush fans will be out in full force.
Yeah this could be fun.

Tanking would have been so sweet IF the FO hadn't built the 60 Million Dollar Man.....does it really matter if we pick at 7 or 17?

If there was an Aaron Donald or Chris Jones in the upcoming draft it would be a different story

Where were Donald and jones drafted

 

[shabazz]

Where were Donald and jones drafted

Not sure, but if there was a can't miss DT available this would have applied.....

Perhaps KingKongadong Suh picked #2 overall would have been a better example

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.

Man go to sleep early tonight please

I’d rather have Rush at quarterback over Dak in a playoff game Dak just can’t handle the pressure Before the Green Bay game last year I saw those eyes and knew it was over.

 

[KingCorcoran]

Except you conveniently leave out that Rush drove the Cowboys the length of the field for two field goals early that were missed, and because of Rush the Cowboys dominated time of possession, allowing the Cowboys defense to rest and letting them play better.

Do you believe Dak was starting over Rush at Jerry’s behest? I’m having difficulty accepting that Mike McCarthy, at this particular time in his head coaching career, would not put his team in the best situation to win. If he’s kept Rush on the bench, despite Rush being a guy that makes the team better than if Dak is at quarterback, he would never be considered for a coaching job, at any level, for the rest of his life. I feel you’re accusing McCarthy of something so egregious it would trigger McCarthy and every member of his coaching staff to be permanently banned from any association with the NFL in any capacity.

 

[Chuck 54]

Silly and ridiculous. No one who knows anything about football believes the OP.
First, the Dallas defense was better with some of the injured returning and because Zimmer confused Daniels big time.
Second, the offense was a little better for the same reason haters don’t respect Dak’s good games against teams not named the 49ers. Washington has a bad defense that cannot stop the run….period. Their secondary features starting the CB Dallas cut a couple weeks ago in the slot.

It took 2 kickoff returns to win that game. The offense only scored 2 TDs. That was a great improvement from recent weeks, but it was two TDs. Let’s not constantly write the absurd just for attention.

 

[SultanOfSix]

Rush isn’t better than Dak. He’s smarter though. And Dak is certainly not $58 million better than Rush.

 

[Havic]

Rush is a smarter player who looks like he can go through progressions better, but he lacks any physical ability to have long term success.

Mike McCarthy took the job already saddled with Prescott.
Jerry had already decided that he was the future of the franchise, and to object to that would mean not being hired.
Yes, McCarthy was stuck with Dak, and blinded by the job.

 

[mattjames2010]

Dak is a more talented QB than Rush. But Rush, in my opinion, just elevates players around him better.

 

[morat1959]

It doesn’t matter who’s better than who. All 3 QBs on the roster are backups at best on a SB winning team.
