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.
What makes the Cowboys a better team is getting their players back. Parsons, Bland, Diggs, Kneeland, Lawrence, and Ferguson
And playing healthy oline players.

Dak Prescott being off the field makes the Cowboys a better team.
And that's what's killing the Dak lovers.

Dak is, well was, an elite level bus driver. Sounds like a shot but it isn’t. Once his OL and RB rooms went from elite to average the Cowboys starting asking Dak to do more. He’s just not capable and when he tries it’s turnover city. People make a big deal out of Dak’s garbage time success like he plays better bc all of the sudden the pressure is off. But it’s not that all. Defenses go into coverages where “take what the defense gives you” is the best approach and that’s where Dak shines. Finding open guys in the belly of a zone. He can’t throw people open which is what you have to do when you have to read & react quickly.

I think Cooper Rush manages the game and situations much better than Dak. Rush protects the OL with quick reads, while Dak holds the ball longer. Rush plays more under center making the tendencies of run or pass less predictable, while Dak is in shotgun more. Rush hasn't been throwing brain dead picks that crush the morale/momentum. It's refreshing to see a QB manage a game properly according to his skill set.

He is a dink and dunk QB. Last week he has 7 pass attempts over 10 yards. The field shrinks when he play.

How many games in a row has he turned the ball over in the red zone?

He is managing a game to his skill set but it's not playoff winning football.

I couldn’t agree more
Rush is a much better. QB

Daks best year was his rookie year when Tony told him what to do
But when he left to go to the broadcast booth Dak was horrible

People will point out some of his ( statistically good years ) but most of those yards came in the 4th quarter on bend don’t break defenses
