Cooper Rush wasn't bad

[Romo_To_Dez]

Cooper Rush is not the alleged franchise, top 5 QB that people have been yapping about Dak. His worshippers even had him above Josh Allen last year and many of them think Herbert and Dak are on the same level.

Can’t take their takes seriously as they are now taking joy in trying to justify Dak against Cooper Rush.

Yet this didn't stop some fans from making "Cooper Rush is the way." threads. While making statements about how Cooper Rush could be the next Kurt Warner or Tom Brady and lead the Cowboys to a playoff run of some kind. There was also posts about how Cooper Rush should become the starter for the rest of the season and even posts about trading Dak and keeping Cooper Rush as the permanent starter.

NFL arm? now we understand why he wasn't heavily recruited by Div I teams in college.

Yes sir.

And none of that is equivalent to the amount of gushing displayed for our mediocre, starting QB where Dak being top-5 and elite is a common theme. nobody takes those Rush posts seriously, except fr Dak-stabs trying to latch onto Cooper Rush sucking to prop up their boy.

And Dak has only 1 playoff win and that was when he drove the bus against Seattle, when Zeke rushed for over 20 plus Carried and well over 100 yards wearing out the Seattle front 4.

We've seen similar from Dak but instead of an int he gets sacked. The team has to punt and the defense is on the field again. Remember that 9 point game Dak had when Wentz had WRs off the street. I will say Dak does have a stronger arm but I would rate it one of the weaker among starting QBs.

Dak definitely does not have weak arm at all lol. He's above average. Please don't pull that b/s where you try to act like I called Dak the second coming of Brady cause y'all are good for that.

Cooper Rush received plenty of gushing over the course of 4 games. And was even having some fans give him the majority of the credit for games the defense won. Yet Cooper Rush was able to win a game in which the defense did not hold a team to under 20 points.

Again, Dak can throw on his early reads the deep ball. He can’t anticipate worth anything. His delivery is slow and so is his processing, which is why he often is delivering late,

Cooper Rush doesn’t have the arm strength, otherwise he’d be light years better than Dak in this offense. Better anticipation and processing speed and quiche release, He can hit the deeper route over the middle, like he’s done multiple times, but he’s not throwing all over the field.

So the OC has less field to work with. Moore has an offense that’s built on the explosive play.

This was a horrible state down read, but it was a trash play call and a comeback route directly into the teeth of the defense.

They ran 2 WRs, not even on the outside against cover 2. The Eagles had MULTIPLE defenders. That’s why it was easy pickings fir the high safety on that side when the DB hit it in the air.

The play action to Elliott in that same side was meant to have them bite, nobody on the defense bit.

There were zero options for Rush to go. As basic as it gets for the defense.

Like what option did Rush have here? ZERO..

so I find it funny you writing a bunch of excuses, but same thing you would have grilled and criticized Dak in 10, 12, 25 posts.

first, he did make that throw into triple coverage. he didn't even see anyone. which tells us he is not reading the defense well and is not processing fast enough.....and I think it took 2, 3, seconds for that ball to get there...no zip, its as if he is warming up and not making an in game throw..... we saw that from him the past 5 games and the same coach you criticized was protecting him by making quicker throws with ball at most 5,10 yards in the air, with occasional deeper throws.

as the games went on, week to week, more tape, teams realized that he has zero arm strength....lollipop arm strength according to NFL scouting reports. and so defenses and DCs quickly adjusted and focused on taking those shorter throws away and forcing the team to go deeper, more air yards and well, the results were evident last week and this week.

the defense was designed, specifically knowing Rush doesn't have the ability to do otherwise....mostly because of his limitations, not because of a brilliant defensive scheme. he can't challenge a defense with his arm and they know it. in 5 games, his play has continuously deteriorated....as DCs saw more game tape, they limited our offense and took away the only thing he could do, which is make 5,10 yard throws.

its as basic as it gets.....

there in lies the difference. Cooper Rush is not talented. will never be starting material or any good in this league. no matter how many times you click your heels and wish otherwise or make excuses. without physical ability, you have no chance in the NFL and that's where he is. perhaps he can go into coaching. most good coaches were average to below average players.

And Dak had ZERO wins when his defense didn’t generate a TO last year and had zero wins when down by halftime in 2019. Not sure what your point is, because people can gush about many things.

But declaring an average starting QB as elite and top 5 is not the same thing as gushing about a backup QB being 4-0.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Look at where the WRs line up including Lamb on the bottom. NEITHER him now Gallup are lined up wide, but closer to the line. Lamb looks like he’s running the same comeback route. The play design is straight into the cover 2 coverage.

Horrible give away play that had the worst possible outcome happen.

but yes, lets write it off as a bad play design from Moore and excuses for Rush.

yet, lets hammer Dak for not making the same play....i.e. like some of the routes ran against AZ and Chiefs last year, very similar to this....its one of Moore's favorite play calls.

Why are you basically repeating exactly what I stated in your own words and pretending like it’s your original thoughts?

What was Dak’s rating at half against Denver last year with his whopping 5 completions for 75 yards, while being down like 30-0 well into the 4th?

Did anyone start a post saying Dak wasn't bad and "held up pretty good" afterwards?

Maybe people pointed out that the entire team played bad, or at least the entire offense...but I don't recall anyone saying he held up pretty good

Yes, multiple posts have been stated about Dak that it was everybody else’s fault but him.

All through Rush’s run Dak’s lover boys were telling us Moore needs to keep calling what he’s calling for Moore, with the emphasis on the run game.

And ti be Honest, it’s only one game anyways and it’s a learning experience for Rush in a situation he hasn’t faced before.

TBH, I'd rather see him get sacked than throw an interception. On one of those interceptions last night, needing about 10 yards or so on third down, IIRC), before the snap I looked at my buddy and said, "Now watch Rush keep it and run for 3 yards." After he threw it i said, "I wish he'd kept it and run for 3 yards."

 

[VaqueroTD]

Dak has one horrible game

Cooper has one horrible game

 

[khiladi]

Dak has multiple horrible games. It’s a common pattern if his. He pads his stats against a chump team and the theme is “Dak has returned to MVP form” only to get owned by Kyle Murray or even Carson Wentz.

Pointing out others played poorly isn't the same as saying Dak played well...I don't think that occurred. If anything, people probably pointed out that he shouldn't have been rushed back from injury

why do you feel threatened for presenting your own words, in the right angle not making excuses for Rush?
