There's more that think like me here than ones that think like the Dak fans, that's for sure.

No doubt. But at this point, most hate all things Cowboys. Not just Dak.

 

[dupree89]

You see once again the Cowboys show how unserious they are. Dak had a severe season ending injury and is getting older. So the plan is to go cheap at the backup position.

terrible planning

 

[GINeric]

So long, QB1

If he's a QB1, why have he spent most of his career bouncing on and off of practice squads throughout his career? He's been in the league for like 9 years now.... why hasn't he been given a full time starting job or a max contract yet?

He's a QB1 right?

What did you see in Rush that 31 other coaches and GMs haven't seen in 9 years?

 

[Whyjerry]

Am I crazy to suggest Lance looked good in his one start? Rush is the most untalented QB in recent years. He is the definition of a bus driver.

 

[Bullflop]

I am not sure this is the draft to select any QB. I would rather play it out with Dak and if necessary Will Grier as the backup. The upside is when Dak gets injured and misses most of the season, we get a top-5 pick in the 2026 draft which will hopefully have better QB candidates.

I was about to suggest activating Grier from the practice squad. He, at least, has experience. Other than that, getting one out of the draft may suffice for one to develop. Not really a big problem, imho. Lance might well cost more to sign than what this FO would want to spend. We'll see.

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

He can run though.

It makes a difference.


Jalen Hurts sucks but he doesn’t turn the ball over, can run, and hits the deep ball.

Well if Jalen can run and doesnt turn the ball over and can hit the deep ball why the hell are u saying he sucks? Do you even understand what you are saying?

 

[KingCorcoran]

Certainly the Ravens discussed Lance. His skillset would seem to be a better fit. Would have loved to be a fly on the wall for that conversation.

Trey Lance has no skill set.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

One name I am starting to see float around as a potential Rush replacement is C.J. Beathard. He was in Jacksonville in 2021 when Schotty was there.

 

[Kingofholland]

Usually you want a backup QB that, while not as good as your starter, can allow you to keep running the same offense with little adjustments.

Can you imagine a more polar opposite to Lamar Jackson than Cooper Rush?

Was thinking the same thing Risen. Very different style where you have to change the whole offense.

 

[stinkface]

Who we sign as backup will tell you a lot about Daks recovery and what he has left in the tank. Reality is fans are tired of both Dak and Cooper. We know what they both are and there is no upside. Agree draft a QB in round 3. I see a certain Texas QB being drafted in round 3 if he is available.

 

[ShortRound]

 

[Chasing6]

Will Grier.

 

[Proof]

Dak was playing like trash.

We weren't winning 4 more games with the way Dak was playing.

I'll say it again since you conveniently left it out of your reply.

Cooper Rush had more TDs and fewer INTS than the highest paid player ever in the same amount of games last season.

We we on our way to a lottery pick with Dak, but Cooper Rush just can't keep from winning.

cooper put on one of the all time worst qb performances you’ll ever see, and then bounced back to play admirably. the odds are dak would have outplayed him overall

 

[IceStar-D7]

You got your BAG Rush!!!!!....See ya........

 

[Proof]

Good for Cooper Rush.

He's worked hard and played well when given the opportunities. He's earned his pay.

Dallas still have Will Grier on the roster?

I wouldn't mind Jameis Winston as a backup if he's willing.

jameis would be incredibly fun

 

[Hadenough]

Good.

Now when Dak gets hurt we can maybe actually keep losing games.

I mean they are in the Manning sweepstakes year. The way they went about FA this probably is the plan. Dak was healthy and 3-5 so they really don't even need him to get hurt. Schedule is looking tough so I expect at some point Dak will do something to jump ship.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

2020 and 2024 were both losing seasons for Dak.

Cooper Rush has never had a losing season with Dak's roster though.

Facts don't care about your feelings.

I mean actual losing seasons where he played the season….not 5 or 6 games but I know the answer don’t worry about it.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Exactly

 

[FVSTONE]

I'm happy for the man, he did actually what he got paid to do and that's manage games until our current overpaid, over hyped, less than mediocre QB was healthy enough to lose more games...................

 

[CowboyChris]

I think Lance would've been a better fit for the Ravens over Rush.
