Dak is not my QB

[DallasEast]

Really with mods would create a Dak only zone.

It did not happen with any previous starting quarterback (including the Tony Romo years) since the site opened. It has not happened with Dak Prescott. It is extremely likely to not happen with Prescott's eventual successor.

Some members are extremely motivated in discussing the quarterback position, practically every day. It does not matter how they personally feel--good or bad--about whomever is standing behind center. They just do.

It means every other member will either choose dealing with it or not. Either way, all future assumptions of a quarterback specific forum on CowboysZone will wind up in the same place as the (literal) hundreds of prior assumptions.

That said, the site's Ignore feature is a handy-dandy convenient tool for whittling down the number of quarterback threads, continually created by the usual suspects. It may not get rid of the headache but it can mitigate the migraine a great deal.

Wherebouts do ya live?

I live in South Texas...many Cowboys haters...it's become Texan country

What did he do here?

I have zero respect for that joke that keeps saying Dak faked his injury.

It's hilarious that Dak won so many games the past several years and everyone downplayed it.

Cooper Rush does the same- with HEAVY support from the running game, defense, and special teams that Dak did not have early this season- and he gets lauded for it.

Dallas needed two special teams touchdowns to beat Washington. They needed a pick six on Thanksgiving to beat a trash Giants team playing it's third quarterback. They ran the ball for 211 yards to beat Carolina. They needed three 50-plus yard field goals and two miracle turnovers from the defense to hang on against Tampa Bay. All Rush did in those games was not mess it up.

Don't get me wrong, Dak did not have a great season. But the Cowboys' playcalling and execution at other positions improved the past five weeks. And if Dak was healthy and Dallas won these games, we all know what the narrative would be here:

"Dak putting up garbage time wins in a lost season, we need a new QB".

Having said that, I like Rush. I want him back next season. Not because I think he's better than Dak, it's that I no longer trust Dak to stay healthy.

spot-on...

Imagine explaining them to about all the games Prescott won when he didn't have the support that he had to fight and grind out wins with nothing or he lost close games because he got no support from the rest of the team and nobody realizing that,​

​

but I could just go back to the Seattle game from last year you think Cooper rush could have won that game in a shootout ?​

​

I don't remember final score wasn't it like 35 to 33 there was no defense ,no special teams, no help, Prescott literally had to go try to score in every single possession Cooper rush can't do that ,​

​

and I realize that Prescott hasn't won "the" big game but how could you use this year's stats or the small sample size from 2022 the man who only started about 15 games since 2017, they are both the same age and you have one that put up franchise numbers literally going to break a lot of Dallas cowboy records who cares about era and you somehow are going to say we'd be better off with Cooper Rush because of his contract? because he's won some games ? they didn't count for the most part and take away a man's career where he has more wins and better stats his rookie year, we're going to take one of Prescott's years just go all the way back to a rookie ,straight out of college , Prescott had a better career than Cooper rush, if he just scored a quit after year one ,that's how dumb this conversation gets about Cooper rush , better off with Cooper rush he runs the offense better he's more careful with the football he's more accurate none of that stuff is true what have you been watching ,none of that stuff is true what have you been watching??​

Somehow all the fumbles the turnovers the bad throws high low sideways into the dirt sure he may not take as many sacks but the dude gets rid of the ball so fast he acts like it just got lit up with electricity he throws stuff into the ground out of balance that dude's feet I mean I don't see where any of these narratives are true about Cooper rush what have they actually been watching?

That's why I like what you said I like that the man wearing this star named Cooper rush is getting his flowers and he's having some positive things happen in his career however small sample size it is he's a Dallas cowboy it's easy I could like Tony Romo Prescott and Cooper rush I am not forced to choose but my football acumen says that Cooper rush is not a starter and every GM in this league who allowed him to stay on practice squads who became free agents our ex coaches never took him with them that tells you something don't it I mean if Cooper rush had any kind of potential at 31 years old wouldn't he have been taken by the bottom 16 teams that may have needed a quarterback or even a backup a better team needing a backup why did say the eagles with Kellen Moore go after Cooper rush why didn't Cooper rush go to the chargers when Kelly Moore went there why didn't a team that may have needed a backup quarterback just in case they needed a run or they got a guy injured maybe San Francisco why did they not go after Cooper rush somebody needs to answer these questions why is this man only started 15 games since 2017 he's 31 years old and no other team has seen his greatness except by our own delusional fan base thinks he's better or thinks he's a better option given the contract I don't think they realize that Cooper rush started all 17 games the last three years they would not even probably made the playoff..

 

[Proof]

Mine either and he grew up 15 minutes from where I live. I think he's fake, a liar, greedy, and a choke artist. He'll go down as the worst signing in Dallas Cowboys history.

what does proximity to you have to do with anything?

 

[Proof]

Nope , I argued strongly that we would resign him. And I was right.

dude went on a ridiculous daily campaign about how dak wouldn't be signed and now just wants to rewrite history. he's a weirdo

 

[Proof]

You know nothing about how the team or locker room feels.

you had me at "you know nothing"

 

[Proof]

He gets rid of the ball much faster, which is why he hasn't taken a lot of sacks, despite his lack of mobility.

where are these numbers? I've tried to look myself, but can't seem to find release time numbers. i recall dak typically being amogst the league leaders the past few years, so i'd like to see if it's actually true.

 

[Proof]

Do you guys even watch film on how this team played in the two halves of the season? You telling me dak had the same oline blocking this well the first half of the season.. was dowdle the featured back? Was the defense not getting gashed in the first 8 games.. glad rush has done the job while dak is out but you have to remember both times he took over. The defense picked it up and he had a line that blocked. The defense are the stars of the second half

there's like 8 posters here that care about facts, rationale, and unbiased takes. the rest are just chomping at the bit to argue and spin

 

[FVSTONE]

Hopefully he doesn't come back

I like your style!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ShiningStar]

No tears shed like T.O. The team battles hard for Cooper Rush. Dak has always been a company man and a phony just interested in getting paid. Bravo Dak. Phony.

Petty and most likely incorrect. but hey opinions vary.

Not sure if you replied to the right comment. I was asking what Randall Cobb accomploshied. I honesty don;t know. He SEEMEED a bit underwheliming but

Dak sucks


And its hilarious that you have to use supporting cast to compare them and their play this season.

The only QB in the league with this many excuses.

What's hilarious is that I present factual evidence comparing the state of the Dallas Cowboys early this season to the past five weeks, and the only response from the other side is "Dak sucks". Even if Rush played all season the record of this team would be the same. Because, aside from Rush's horrible game against the Eagles back in November, quarterback has not been this team's issue.

But okay, "Dak sucks". Just keep retreating into that corner whenever something that even slightly takes away from the agenda manifests itself.

I am so sorry the Cowboys re-signed a quarterback that 15 to 20 people here just don't like. I guess this forum serves as kind of a support group for you all.

Very true. I'll have to try the ignore button

https://theanalyst.com/2023/12/dak-...=The QB's average time to,the NFL in the span.

AI Overview

Dak Prescott, quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, has an average time to release of 2.66 seconds, which is close to the league average.

I just Googled his and Googled Rush's.

AI Overview




According to recent data, Cooper Rush's average time to throw, or release time, is around 2.3 seconds. This is considered very quick, often ranking him among the fastest in the NFL when he is starting.

i could be wrong

but to me, RC brought a winning attitude and wanted to win. He was very good for what he did but the franchise wasnt looking for a winner. I think he realized what Dallas was about and left as fast as he good. To me, it seemed like they saw what he brought and basically said, dont use him. He changed the position quickly if you watched the games and was ready to do what it took to win, but once Dallas had basically said, we run 1 scheme here, if you dont fit in, thats on you.

Oh.

Cobb had over 800 yards as the putative #3 WR in 2019 which is sandwiched around a plethora of sub-500 yard seasons on either side of his tenure here when his QBs were Rodgers and a pre-awful Watson.

15 or 20 that's the number here that still want Dak everyone ejse doesn't live in fairytale stat padding land. Dak sucks Merry Christmas

 

[SuspectCorner]

Robinson’s issue was never talent. He was always hurt. Dak did help resurrect a washed up Randall Cobb l, who went back to doing nothing after leaving here.

Robinson was a TRUE flash in the pan - with his LONE FLASH occuring the season he played in Dallas and paired with Romo.

Your example, Cobb, played for THIRTEEN seasons in the NFL. He also managed to land on IR in each of FOUR NFL seasons SUBSEQUENT to his year in Dallas (one with HOU, two with GB, and one with NYJ).

Apples and oranges? That’s what I see.

 

[cowfan]

Some of you idiots act like you are paying the players. Dak is not your QB because he's the QB for the Dallas Cowboys. It's hard to believe people are this idiotic over a game.
