Cooper Rush wasn't bad

[Runwildboys]

Well, then if Rush can go 4-1, beating 3 of the toughest teams in the NFL, according to Dak's fans he should easily win out. He should roll through the playoffs, and the Super Bowl should be a forfeit with the opposing team refusing to be embarrassed by Dak.
So we're going to see.

How many points did those teams that "Rush beat" score? How many did Rush score?

 

[leeblair]

Any fan claiming any quarterback can win, without acknowledging what the rest of his team can or cannot do, lives within a fallacy of their own creation.

But you guys put 1 loss as evidence that Dak was better than Cooper Rush.

Cooper Rush did not beat those teams, the defense did. Cooper Rush had 106 passing yards against the Rams and the offense couldn't get the ball into the endzone, even after a blocked punt by Armstrong. And the game was won with the help of the long TD run by Pollard. Cooper Rush was not the main reason for the Cowboys going 4-1.

The Cowboys outscored the opposing team with Rush at the helm. If Dak is supposedly going to make the Cowboys so much better, then they should easily win out, considering Rush was 4-1.

Ah, question avoidance. I see where this isn't going. Never mind.

Great!
So with Dak at the helm supposedly lifting the Cowboys to a higher level, the defense should be easily able to stop the other teams, and Dak should lead the Cowboys to wins every game.

All Rush did was keep from playing badly enough to lose the game... until Sunday.

No, you guys are telling us how much better the Cowboys should be with Dak at the helm. That's great!
Cooper Rush went 4-1; with Dak raising the Cowboys to a higher level, they should easily win out!

 

[KJJ]

Or they have an agenda to drive....

That’s a big part of it. There’s a lot of agendas with idiots claiming Cooper Rush has been better than Dak. You wouldn’t see a thread like this if Dak had a game like Rush did Sunday night. Lol

Well it's kind of impossible to use games against different teams as your measuring stick. But I'm sure Dak will win games that Rush wouldn't have won. Also, since Rush didn't go undefeated, you can't justify your position with a Dak loss. Dak plays very badly at times, such as the first game this season, but at least he has the potential to be very good, if he can learn to harness his abilities.

All of your takes are L's.

I first thought Cooper Rush had a bad game, but upon closer examination, he held up pretty well. He was accurate and effective vs the Eagles.
His receivers, not so much. Two of Rush’s interceptions were accurately thrown passes in which the receivers had position, but allowed the defenders to swat them out of the way to make a play on the ball. This can't happen in the NFL.
The Cowboys sold the farm to pay an overpriced, inept quarterback a huge salary, and the result is having receivers who are not number 1 caliber.
I hate to say it, but Cee Dee Lamb isn't great. Noah Brown is as close to being a number one as the Cowboys have. CeeDee just doesn't have the physique to hold up in physical games. The Eagles got physical with the Cowboys receivers and won the battles one on one too often.
Add to this missed calls by the refs, and Rush held up better than first thought.
Rush’s third interception was due to him being hit. It would probably have been a touchdown, otherwise.
Hate on him if you like, but this season still has a ways to go. Dak isn't as accurate as Rush, and if last night is any clue, the receivers aren't going to be much help.

What game were you watching?

@ "you guys."

Take a moment and do a critical thinking analysis concerning "you guys."

Jot down ALL the members' names you know for certain said what you claim. Not what you think like you just incorrectly did with me since you have NEVER read me state what you just said. Identify actual members who have written what you are accusing them of doing.

Perhaps afterwards you will have obtained a better understanding of who said what on this site about Prescott.

Additionally, do not believe I was only referring to you, @leeblair. My comment, which you initially replied to, applies to tens of millions of football fans. It just so happens that I posted it within your thread. I have posted similar comments many times in other threads throughout the years.

 

[NeathBlue]

We’ll see how much other teams think of Cooper Rush when they have the chance to sign him next spring when he hits free agency…
My guess he’ll be signed as a back up, though it wouldn’t shock me if he went unclaimed.

I thought gallup did a piss poor job fighting for the ball

 

[HMJYay]

Draft one like Manziel? Or Paxton Lynch?

Nope. Like Mohomes. Or Herbert. Or Allen. Or Burrow. Or Jackson. Or Hurts. Or Zach Wilson. Or Mac Jones. Or Watson. Or Murray. Or Trevor Lawrence. All QB's taken in the timeframe Dak has been playing. And it's not even including QB's taken in the first or second round before Dak. This narrative that it's impossible to pick a good QB in the first or second round is wrong. All of these guys are better or are showing they will be. Dak isn't the answer. But, they already paid him like he is.

Yeah easy to be pick a top QB with the 1st round in the draft, like at least two of the ones you’ve just mentioned are… and almost all the rest of them except Hurts are top 5 or top 10 picks.

 

[kskboys]

The fans that called for us to tank the season AFTER ONE GAME because they wouldn't support Cooper Rush? Name calling him even?

Yes....I see it as fake fans.

YMMV...you don't have to agree.

You deciding how others should carry out their fandom is what's extremely weak and petty. If they think the best option is to tank, who are you to throw weak insults just because you disagree?

 

[kskboys]

These same people berate the Cowboys for bad/wasted/bust draft picks. Then they wanted to lose for them?

I get it...if it's late in the season. Might play 2-3-4th stringers for assessment...and "accidentally" tank. But from the very first game?

Sorry...not buying it. But whatever.

I said "all right..let's go Coop. Let's do this". you probably laughed at me. Here we are!

It's all good, I'll drop it. Have a good day!

Drop it and stop bringing it up at all, great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
