Cooper should not be in NFL

[DFWJC]

brush the 2 costly Fublmes under the rug?? The only NFL coaching Staffs that like him are are ours he's halfway decent he should be the emergency third but moving forward we need to change our 2025 quarterback room we need 2 new backups dudes maxed out we saw what he has and by the way a lot of those yards were in garbage time isn't that what it is if you lose a game like that you can't count any of the stats playing from behind? He basically had three turnovers 3 costly possessions besides a lot of bad throws to go in that mix yeah if you just post what you posted but our staff you do realize how inept our coaching Staffs have been they put him on the practice squad 3 or 4 times nobody claimed him they cut him and brought him back nobody claimed him nobody even Kelly Moore no ex coaches have brought him into their teams when they left that's how much but i said he is and your eyes because this team and jerry jones likes him?

I get what you're saying he's probably worth having around in camp he's probably worth keeping maybe as the practice squad guy or maybe the third emergency guy but I don't want him as our backup we should be grooming a backup at all times it should be the youngest guy once your team no longer has a shot that's typically when your main quarterback goes down the season's pretty much over but you add that we had about 18 people on IR more guys got hurt we should not be playing Cooper rush we don't need to see what he's got we don't even need to win games we need to be grooming some players a whole bunch of year 1 to year three players should be playing here on out that's the point now I get what that guy said he exaggerated a little bit Cooper rush is not the worst quarterback I've ever seen but I'd rather have a younger guy with a better arm a little mobility somebody that can at least have a shot in the NFL to be a starter as my number 2. I know that's not all possible but let's stop acting like just go back to his last three games 2022 Rams eagles this year eagles Texans he's not look good at all and yes he had some moments last night but his three costly turnovers was supposed to be his caveat this is the dumbest narrative I've ever heard because some of y'all didn't watch the games the man had only 5 3 interceptions and two fumbles in 2022 a 58% completion percentage yeah that might be on par with those college kids he's talking about I realize again it's an exaggeration but this dude was talked up like he was the second coming of Joe Montana sitting on the bench and that the narratives were he would have played better against San Francisco in the playoffs than that that we should have never brought dak back that year in 2022 even though when Prescott came back he clearly took our offense from bottom 10 back to top five immediately the scoring nearly doubled that is why they're talking about Cooper rush in this manner cause those who have their eyes wide open he's just a Jag of a backup he's not even one of the top backups.

You wrote all of that for nothing.
complete waste

i repeatedly said I wasn't a Rush fan.

just saying that multiple NFL coaches think Rush should be in the league…just not starting
thats all

That is the point. We really have not seen anything from Trey until they give him the chance.
The anti Trey crowd always ... in the past, at any level crap .... well he is here now, don't look at the past. ... see what he can do NOW. Even with this lame team surrounding him.

If he fails, then they move on. Draft a QB. However Jerry will not do that. He has his $240 million QB to keep losing with.

The thing is we have seen snaps from Trey. I saw him look awful as a rookie. I saw him play the worst starting game of any QB in his second year before getting hurt. I then saw him look awful in the preseason this year and then when they brought him in against the Eagles backups, he was still awful.

Every single time he plays he is awful and every single time there is a group that goes “no you see he just needs x and then he will be good”. It’s staggering because there is nothing he has shown at any point that says he can play in the NFL.

That is why I say grab random practice squad guys if you want to try and show you didn’t need to pay Dak by finding the next Purdy. At least for those guys the jury is still out because they have not continuously been awful. They could be good or they are rookies so maybe they can learn not 4th year guys who have not gotten any better since college.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Better to find out for real then. He can't be worse than what Dak was this year.
Dak has played very bad this year.

Now he can spend more time overlooking his vacant lot waiting for the Dak mansion that Jerry built (giving him the huge wasted contract).

He can’t be worse? We just saw Lance throw 5 picks against preseason competition..Rush or Dak…..there’s a clear issue on this team. How many times do we have to see Lamb run a wrong route? I’m for playing Lance because I know he sucks….and I’m for whatever allows us to lose to the Panthers and Giants. Lance has showed you what he is. The only qb to have sucked in a Shanahan offense.

no multiple head coaches that had rushed most likely thrust upon them by Jerry Jones the GM again he hasn't been accepted by any other franchise but this one in a starved league I didn't waste anything that's my business if I chose to use talk to text and probably took less time than it is that you wrote out this above I used talk to taxes no time at all it wasn't a waste I'm getting my point across because you keep making the point that he's wanted by multiple coaches no he's wanted by Jerry Jones the GM who put him on this team over and over so they use him and I already agree with you he's not as bad as people are trying to intimate but that's OK I'm telling you that you can find that in a lot of younger players and we might as well go younger with more upside than carrying a guy like him...

The guy is limited but no way no one can see this mess snd think Rush is the problem. Jerry screwed this team over and they are all paying him back.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

At least we will know for sure. Or is Jerry to proud to trot out a below average qb he wasted a 4th rounder on.

I didn’t think of that angle. I’ve been saying for weeks they don’t want to play him because they want him to be cheap when they re-sign him.

He was injured much of the time he was in SF. His first year he sat behind Jimmy G.

Move forward and see what he has and allow him to start with the starters. Well the ones are still healthy so starters and back ups.

He came into the Philly game down what 3 scores. What QB will have a chance to succeed in that situation.
Once again you look to the past to try to justify your dislike.

 

[FVSTONE]

There are 25 college QBs right now who would be better. He’s absolutely a waste of a roster spot. In the 30 years I’ve watched high level Texas and Louisiana football, there are some HS QBs who could do better right now.

I feel the same way about Prescott, he's flat out horrible, and to think he may be the highest paid QB in the league! Doesn't that make you warm and fuzzy all over...........LOL!

Once again looking at the past. Look to see what he can do now, with a team with only half the starters. And from the start of the game. Allow him to get into a rhythm. and not come in late in a game 3 scores down.

With that being said....Do you really blame anyone in this offense? It's McCarthy's awful designs...Unbelievably bad play calling. Putting the players in the worst position to fail.....It's the most simplistic offense I can ever recall. It's really not NFL level...The routes don't ever work off each other....the O-line blocking....guys aren't staying low...moving anyone off the ball. It's just bad football.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

354 yards with that Oline and a hodge podge of receivers. It's amazing he put up 10 points. All that for $3M \ year. Put some respect on that man's name.

His defense also failed him.

so what? he sucks. the goal is not to win spreadsheet math and finances (maybe for jerry and stephen), the goal is to win. and nobody is winning anything with Rush. unless you build a defense that can hold opponents to 13 points.

the defense didn't fail him. the defense couldn't save his incompetence and lack of talent as they did in previous year.

when you throw the ball 55 times, you bound to rack up empty calories. if not for that totally meaningless last drive, with houston giving cushion to the WRs, where Rush completed 5 passes, he was less than 50% completion up to that point. he fumbled the ball. he couldn't get the ball past 10 yards and the 64 yard turpin catch was all turpin.

respect? he is a great guy, but he needs to be out of NFL

 

[KJJ]

According to some fans here, Rush is better than Dak and could have led us to a championship in 2022. This had to be the most ridiculous thread title in the history of Cowboyszone. This gives you a real good idea the type of fans you’re dealing with here. lol

We don't have a quarterback on the squad. That should be in the NFL right now, LOL

 

[raven55]

why not play grier what at this point have you got to lose. lance is got after this year unless he takes league last place money. but you know these new players they need gold chains and a lot of blink so that's out

 

[Whirlwin]

fumbling a lot.as well literally 2022 2 Fumbles in the Rams game with a pathetic 107 yards passing , ironic hes supposed to be more SAFE, accurate, plays within the scheme better than Dak LMAO right .

Never was an accurate narrative hes below MID not even a top BU needs to be let go this offseason the BU room needs a full update. most of us warned you guys or whoever said it Rush was carried that 20022 5 game stretch but his last 4 games shows hes not even much of a BU , ,

Very slowly, 5/5. And then 5/10. You’re right he’s what we said. He was all along.

 

[Whirlwin]

Prescott, he’s so overachieved with this team maybe people should understand what happened out there. It was him all along that succeeded the best he could. With what he had.

 

[FanofJerry]

You cant put Lance in because you cant trust him.

Rush is willing to be a company man, it appears.

Lance is playing for his NFL career if he is put into a ball game.

Cowboys want a high draft pick and do not want anyone sabotaging that. Regardless of how bad you think Lance is, he is not going to willingly play bad for the Cowboys when his NFL career is on the line. He will try and win games if put in.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Cooper is what he is, A career backup and a serviceable one at that.

Too many cowboys fans think the backup has to be better than the starter and the third stringer to be better than the second stringer.

How do you know you can’t trust him if you don’t put him out there

 

[DIAF]

Why do we have knives out for Cooper Rush? None of this the last two weeks is his fault. He's not very good, but the team around him is complete freaking trash. We have the worst OL in the NFL, and now its also HURT. We have an awful WR corps outside of CeeDee, average to below average TEs, the NFL's worst Runningback situation, and an awful defensive backfield that seemingly cannot cover anyone. "25 college qbs" would do just as bad or worse.

This is a trend on this board. A lot of you think the QB should be some superhuman player and get super angry when he doesn't play well. QB is the most important position on the field but unless you have a top 5 nfl QB he's not evevating a bad team around him. Most QBs are a product of their supporting casts, not the other way around.
