Cooper should not be in NFL

[CowboysFaninHouston]

You do not understand basic talent level, not trying to be mean, but you have zero evaluation skills.
Its why your reaction score is so much lower than your posts.

and I guess you have talent level evaluation skills.... you probably played field hockey



seriously. the new generation. caring more about likes and reactions scores..... amazing

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 doubt it. Dak struggled with this roster, cooper struggled with this roster. The problem is the roster and play calling not the QB

 

[conner01]

but it can't be much worse than rush why not see what you got in lance.. we've seen enough of cooper it's time to play a player we have a fourth, play the rest of the year.. why not we are losing anyway its Lances last Chance for full 5 game live interview show progress by the last game or Bye bye,,

He’s a FA next year so it’s bye anyway. But I’d play him just because I’m happier with a high draft pick than any meaningless win

 

[McKDaddy]

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

Then why did we get all these same arguments (& more) for 8+ years with #4 under center?

I'm just saying what's good for the goose oughta be good for the gander.

we are a team build on UDFA.....some are good, rest are meh and getting major minutes because our team is so devoid of talent and our drafts have been bad and we don't do FA

this is a very large contingency to be UD on any team.

Yes, the Cowboys have historically been active and successful in this area. Their openness to UDFA's has actually aided in their efforts to attract them. Undrafted players know they will get an honest shot at a roster spot in Dallas. Your list is a good one.

The QB position is different though. It's exceptionally rare for good QB's to slip through the cracks. Certainly there are examples, but it's rare. There is an extremely high statistical correlation between draft status and success for QB's.

The odds of him succeeding are low though. I think he should be playing but the irrationality of the fan base is what they’re trying to avoid. I mean brother swears Rush is better than Dak.

Yeah, it's obvious there's a share of Cowboys fans that suffer from irrational optimism when it comes to Trey. Considering the only thing he has to justify it is draft status...otherwise, in 4 years in the league all he has proven is that he was unable to beat out other backup QBs in both SF and Dallas.

I get it, some are sooo desperate for a Dak replacement they would cheer on rowdy as long as he replaced Dak...yet these same fans who say other fans are football ignorant because they dont agree that Dak is garbage say in the same breath that Cooper and Trey are starter worthy QBs in this league. The hypocrisy is crazy.

[coult44]

Maybe 3 or 4 would throw for 354 yards in an NFL game. Those 3 or 4 would be top first round picks. There are zero HS QBs that are going to throw for 354 in the NFL. We can talk about his arm strength and several other issues, but this is just fan fantasy. Let's be realistic. Cooper Rush is exactly what he is, a NFL backup. There is nothing wrong with that.

You’re telling me there are less than 60 guys in the world that couldn’t do his job better than him.. BS

 

[coult44]

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.

I blame MM and JJ for the system and the organizational failures. But Cooper Rush should go sell real estate or something. He is not athletic enough, smart enough, or have an arm good enough to be an nfl QB. He can’t throw the ball 35 yards, and He probably runs a 5.1 40. Not good enough.

 

[coult44]

Then why doesn’t this team start Lance? Why do they continue to blackball him?

Because he’s probably worse.

You do realize that a lot of very successful college QB's don't even make an NFL roster, right?

The guys who make rosters are in a very small club. With each NFL team carrying two QB's, that's only 64. Yeah, a few carry a third QB. Let's say 70 are in the club at any one time. So yeah, there are probably less than 60 guys in the world who could have done equal or better than he did last night.

 

[jazzcat22]

49ers would’ve never traded him if he was good.

Not really true. I would explain it, but you will ignore the facts.

I personally know a couple NFL scouts who I’ve had this conversation with. You’d be surprised with the amount of politics, and “good ole boy” networking has to do with stuff like this.

You sure there would be facts or just speculative opinions?

Well, I don't doubt there are some decisions made on things other than talent.

 

[Adreme]

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.

Again but if I am ignoring the past then why not pick any other player to play QB? The past does matter. Its the reason we know some guys have it and some guys do not. Lance has spent his entire career not having it. He has NEVER shown himself to have it and yet for some reason there are people wanting to give him yet another chance to show he does not have it. The only things he has shown the ability to do is move well and throw an inaccurate ball very far. EVERY other aspect of playing QB he is terrible at and has not improved in 4 years.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Then why did we get all these same arguments (& more) for 8+ years with #4 under center?

I'm just saying what's good for the goose oughta be good for the gander.

because first, he is better than Rush....no comparison. don't even go there....but I am sure you will utter 4-1.
the comment about him sucking but its ok because he only costs 3M...., wrong logic. idiotic. moral victory for a few.

and I have said it before. where is the guy that's better than Dak? get me one. I am not saying it doesn't exist. but get me one. come up with realistic alternatives, not Yahoo Fantasy football alternatives.
I have been advocating for a while that we should spend a draft pick high in the draft, 1st, 2nd or 3rd round every 3 years or so on a QB, even if we have our QB under contract and locked up. but bringing in UDFA who can't throw more than 8 yards down field and paying a 4th rounder for a bust and not having a plan to even play him is idiotic approach to roster management. Bilicheck had drafted 11 QBs during the time he had Brady, he traded some of those for higher draft picks. and he had a good back up. not Rush.

but when a 1/5 of your team is UDFA, there is something wrong. no way should turpin be getting major playing time. same with few other ones. you find a gem now and then. you fill the bottom of the roster perhaps. your PS, but that's way too many players, whose name has been called and this team sucks for a reason.

good for you. keep your fingers away from him as he likes his food.

now he is gloating. trying to impress others....like I said, new generation and desire to be wanted, to be liked......


and you still know zero about talent evaluation. no different than anybody else on this board. or is it you claim you now more than others? too funny
