Let's review that last statement. Now you said Dak is not that much better than Rush, correct? OK. Let me start off by saying that I don't think Dak is elite and he's probably not what we need moving forward to reach higher goals. This year may answer all of those questions.
With that said, Dak has been in the NFL for 7 seasons, but has really only played 6 due to injury.
Rush has played in the NFL for 6 seasons.... yet he's been a career practice squad player, he's been annually released and brought back on the practice squad. He struggles to pass for 100 yards in games. Hmmm....
Dak has started in the NFL since he came out of college as a 4th rounder and has pretty much outplayed every quarterback from round one to the final round in his draft class and earned himself a max contract.
Which quarterback did Rush play better in his draft class? Was Rush even drafted? If Rush and Dak was so close in skillset, how is it that Dak average probably 200 more yards passing than Rush? How come Rush never got a max contract?
Wait... wait... let me guess. Rush is so good that nobody came clamoring for his services and all 31 other GMs, scouts and coaches just missed the boat on the great unknown and talented Mr. Cooper Rush huh..... LOL!!!
