What does it say about Romo? He took them as far as Romo ever could but let me guess Daniel Jones is having a better career than Romo?
It says the same thing about Romo as it does about Dak: both put up good regular-season stats but couldn't bring the team anywhere in the playoffs. As for the Jones v.Romo comparison, Jones had one good season so far in his short career and is overpaid just like Dak and many other QB's.

Yeah. The bottom 10 offenses in the league missed the playoffs. Rush led the 22nd ranked offense.

Again missing the forest because of the trees. I think you are doing it on purpose. Just to win an argument.

What was plainly obvious Rush's performance got progressively worse. Against Rams he passed 100 yards. Offense scored 13 points. Defense essentially 9. He fell apart against eagles.

So short term the team had some success. Not a long term solution by any stretchnof imagination. If you think Rush could do the same, and really believe that then I have abridge in Brooklyn I like sell you. It’s cheap and will make you tons of money. Great deal I tell you. Just IM me and we will close the deal and you will be rich beyond your dreams
Rush sucks..

With that being said I think he only makes us a game or 2 worse then Dak in the win loss column.

Especially when you consider the fact we could build a way better team with his salary.

Dallas could’ve not paid Dak and still done way better than Cooper Rush….

NYG beat a team in the playoffs that we obliterated off the NFL maps. Well ok then.
They won by 7 points then got obliterated by the Eagles.

No way they are the 3rd best team. not even close.
Yea, I’m not sure how you’d place NY third above Dallas. Certainly not in head to head matchups or records, including playoffs which both went 1-1.

I guess we could place NY 4th above Minn since they beat them in playoffs but then that would be similar formula we’d place Dallas 3rd above NY. Ha

That is like saying in high school I dated a few decent-looking girls when the goal is banging the prom queen. Dak sleeping with the fat girls in the regular season means nothing. (sarcasm)
Usually the Prom Queen is not the hottest girl in school. Not sure that’s a good analogy.

The best part of all of this is that W/L are not a qb stat.

When people. A few in particular say “rush had the same results” it’s an insult to the rest of the team. Football wins and losses are a team accomplishment. Rush having success to me means the team is in a good place. To say the offense is the same with rush is a joke lol.
Exactly. Agenda driven.

And in the same breath they also dismiss the same statbfor Dak and give credit to everybody else. So when Rush does it, it's Wins for Rush. But hey how about Dak then? No it's because everybody else.....and then after 10 back and forth arguments it's always "but but but 40 M"

Too funny

If you think that then you really don't get it.

Rush would get you to somewhere between 3-14 or 5-11 at this point. He has been figured out. Took all of 4 games. If he doesn't get a ravensque defense to help him out he can't get you anywhere. That's reality.

And I keep hearing about this salary thing. Who in FA is available that we could get and build a better team? Name me names. We had 20M on salary cap last year and didn't sign anyone. No one of consequence is really available in FA and not enough of them to "build" a team in FA as you claim. It doesn't work. Even the Rams they made trades to do it not FA. That idea is a fallacy thats been proven wrong 100 times over.

Daks salary was reasonable the past two years against the cap. So your comment doesn't withstand reality.

And don't tell me "but what about the future and two years down the line". We needed to create cap space for two years down the line is the argument I keep hearing. That makes zero sense and its not even an argument to consider.

Sorry. This is the same Rush who was cut. Went unsigned by 31 other teams even as a back up. We took a risk and cut him with no other QB on the roster.....and then signed him back. 31 teams didn't even think he is a back up material. And here we have Some posters making him into their hero!!!!

Excuses are for losers. This organization has 5 rings. You want to be a loser go root for Amari and the Browns…y’all can use the excuse of Watson contract to make you feel better at night….
"It doesn't matter if you made the wrong decision on QB and paid him a quarter of your cap, win anyway."

He thinks this is an intelligent viewpoint.

The hit on the cap hasn't been a quarter of the cap. Neither isn49M average which is what you are referring to a quarter of the 200M+ cap. But I get your mixed math exaggeration ;)

I don’t want Rush but your whole we would only win 3 games with him is BS lol. He won 3 of his first 4 starts last year.

We can do better than Rush and still get a cheaper player than Dak.

If we are absolutely terrible with a player like Rush then that’s also a huge win because we get to draft a top talent.


All of these things are better than good but never good enough.

this is why i fell out of love with Football....you cant just get on air and say anything....and they let them

My favorite sport is baseball....what sense would it make for me to get on one of these mlb shows and say Starling Marte is better than Mike Trout?

i like Marte but lets be serious

these sport shows are a joke
Just to be clear. You are not saying that Dak is the Mike Trout of Football. Just an analogy I hope.

It's nor BS. It's reality. Rush les the 22nd or worse ranked offense. His last two games were abysmal. He got figured out. Check out the records for 22nd ranked offenses and worse.

And so now we are onto something. Let's suck so bad that we get a top 5 pick. And hope we end up with a Burrow and not a Mayfield, turbiskey or the likes.

So just say that. Instead of defending Rush.

So another former player turned talking head has an opinion, so what? Is this the first time y'all have seen differing opinions about Prescott?

We have all the differing opinions about him we need right here, no need to watch TV for that.

Personally, Jones is smarter and a better running QB than Prescott but so far, not a better passer or overall QB. But then we'd need to see the QB's in a reverse situation to really compare them.

One thing for certain, Prescott stepped into a much better situation than Jones did as a rookie and has had a better offense around him since he came into the league. And he has had his owner crowing about Jesus Jr. while the other owner has been trying to find a coach.

It is going to be interesting to see Jones in his second year under a HC that put his stamp on the team from the get go and had the most overachieving team to reach to playoffs responds.

They kept Jones so that may say something unless you look around the league at the other QB's being kept, including the Cowboys.

Yep, so far a comparison would say Dak is better but if we can step back for a moment it would make sense Jones is more talented with more potential as a 1st round pick . Time will tell.

Yep, the odds of drafting an Elite qb are so remote . It’s much more likely to draft a bust.

Much more likely to bust out at that position more than any other. The proof is all over the NFL.

But the critical factor in all of this is the track record of this brain trust with that position. They lucked into the last two QB1's and would have taken Lynch or Cook ahead of Prescott.

Does anyone here trust these people to draft the franchise QB?
