It looked like a really weak spot heading into the season. Does Rush's strong performance tonight sell you on him being Prescott's permanent backup?
Did Cooper Rush cement himself as our back up QB for the forseeable future

No. In fact I felt worse than I did before the game. Major accuracy and decision issues.

I’m proud of him and glad he made that last throw but he was really good on about 55% of his throws, adequate on 10 % and what the heck on the rest

After tonight, Rush is the backup QB for the remainder of the year. He is good enough for a regular season game or two, but let’s not get carried away, this team goes as Dak goes…

Same.. I was optimistic.
He doesn’t process things very well and is completely unaware of pressure. 0 feel for it.
He also doesn’t know his check downs so when he freaks out he just throws into coverage.
The trade deadline is Tuesday but my gosh should Dallas be worried if he ever has to play a lot.
The guy doesn’t generate offense at all.

Bro! Is there anything that you actually enjoy ab the Cowboys?
Are you forced into being a fan? You sure as hell complain about everything.
If this, if that, if they didn’t, if they weren’t… Always an excuse.
Just look at **** for what it is. They weren’t up 2 scores, they never threatened to go up 2 scores, and the dude did exactly what a back up was supposed to do.
Some of y’all play too much Madden and think you’re going to have a pro bowler at every position.

Im thrilled with the W but you’re asking me to ignore some obvious flaws in a thread asking if he should be our backup.

This was his first time really playing in the NFL. Throwing for over 300 yards, two touchdowns and driving us down the field in crunch time and throwing a touchdown to win it is pretty special.

He knows the offense that's what gives him an advantage.

In all fairness, guys who don’t have many flaws, especially those tend to be starters in the NFL. Back ups come with flaws, unfortunately.

The team kind of carried him. Esp. The Defense. Despite no turnovers, they got crucial stops and held them to FG’s after that horrid first drive. Coop’s crazy catches in the final drive and Zeke plowing through defenders got us this win. So it was a bit of luck as well.
tl;dr: we need to trade for someone. Foles or even Flacco come to mind. Not super great, but could be serviceable backups. We need to address special teams too… Greg is losing it…

But it’s a really big ask to want our defense to play that good.
We never let them have a 2 score lead. Had that happened we could’ve never caught up.
