I say Rush plays till he loses?

[starfan1]

We

We watch him play every week.You can see the hesitantcy and fear in his play.Just not confident or decisive.

well let me see here a buch of keyboard warriors or the cowboy brass I wonder which Ill believe.......... Ill get back to you

Go with the hot hand is the way. What excuse do you give if you roll your 40 million backup in and you lose?

Its all about competition. Rush hasnt played any top competition. The offense under Rush is at the bottom part of the NFL at the moment. That will have to change if Rush is going to really make a case. Lets see how he does against the Rams and Eagles.

They will go back with Dak…when you pay a dude 40 million that dictates what will happen. But I would not play Dak until fully ready…

He was 12-13 with a TD and led another TD drive in second half. The incompletion was a blatant hold. Against a quality defence at that. He’s playing very solid. I love how he gets rid of the ball and his decision making has been ridiculously good. Not sure about his arm strength but his touch and accuracy are beautiful. The drop to Ceedee was perfect, the goal line fade perfect spot. Love to see it. His connection with Brown is also a thing of beauty. Small sample size but he looks very solid. If he was a first round pick he would be getting showered with praise right now imo.

He was 12-13 with a TD and led another TD drive in second half. Against a quality defence at that. Why do we always look for stats and things to go against what our eyes are telling us. He’s playing very solid. I love how he gets rid of the ball and his decision making has been ridiculously good, his football IQ is legit.

Quality defense? You mean the Giants? Since when? They couldnt even get a sack on Rush. He had all day to throw. Their best defensive player, leonard Williams was out for the game to boot.

He is playing solid. The late game drives were nice to see. Knows the offense well. Lets see what he does against better defenses. He couldnt do squat against the Bucs.

Fair the giants pass rush looked bad, I agree but they are a top 10 defence. I also agree with you about struggling vs the Bucs but we looked better with him then with Dak.

Dak averaged 31 points per game last year buddy and we had the #1 offense in the NFL. Rush is averaging 20 points per game against mild competition. Thats looking better to you?

If the last two games were Dak, the trolls would be complaining that Rush is beating weaker teams and barely doing it. That the defense is leading us and that Rush cant carry the team. LOL

Im happy with Rush, but lets see what he does against the Rams and Eagles.

 

[Jake]

It's a week-to-week league and Dak isn't even physically able to play, so Rush starts this week vs Washington (likely wins again) and we'll revisit the issue next week.

 

[cguy610]

As a Cowboys fan, I would be fine with that. Cooper starts as long as he keeps winning.

I am a fan of the team and seeing them win, regardless of who is at QB. I don't see what some of you are seeing that think Cooper Rush is a long term franchise QB after 2 games this season. If not for 50 yard runs by Tony Pollard in each of those 2 games, Dallas likely loses both games.

Rams a problem so I take that

 

[Toro9]

Depends how he wins or loses.

 

[NumOneQB]

Rush has done an admirable job and exactly what he’s expected to do as a backup. But Dak starts when he’s 100%. Every NFL coach not named McCarthey would do the same.

Rush couldnt do anything against the bucs. Got sacked twice.

 

[TwoDeep3]

Michael Irvin was yelling at SAS, "In Rush we Trust!"

Irvin make have a stroke he is going off so much.

 

[Typhus]

For as much as he says differently, Jerry will not allow Rush to remain the starter should Dak be ready to go back in as that not only would bruise Jerry's ego in giving Dak a 4-year/$160M contract but it would also negatively impact Dak's already questionable psyche.

Shame but truth

 

[nightrain]

I say play Rush until Dak is fully ready to be back in the line up. Dak is the starter and the Cowboys will go go further with Dak at QB if the coaching staff reigns in the latitude he has with the offense.

 

[john van brocklin]

We should beat Washington. But then we go to LA to play the Rams. If we lose that game, then what? What if we win?
Dak's target game is to return for the Eagles game.

If we win the next 2 games, and in LA. Yeah, I would be all for keeping Rush in.
Not that I don't think Dak can come in and win, but this is not the same situation.

We win 4 games, and your starter is ready, not like Rush wins 11 games while the starter is still out.

My issue is, what kind of Dak are we talking about?
I don't want the Tampa Bay Dak anywhere near this team.
Even the last 11 games Dak from last year was very up and down.
Cooper has been solid.

That is the big mystery. Will Dak come out hot like last years first 5 or 6 games. Will he be as you said, the last 11 games.
I don’t think we will get the Dak from the TB game. But will we get anything close to his start last season.

All I know is, this place will blow up no matter what.
Play great, the anti Dak people will crawl away. Play bad they will be even worse than before, and now.
Play about same as Cooper, All will stay the same as is, I guess.

Jazz, Folks here just want to win.
I like Dak as a person, appears to be a great guy.
I have stood in his corner for 6 seasons.
The Tampa game was just it for me.
I hope Coop plays the rest of the season, and at a decent level.
I don't know that he is the answer either.
I just don't think Dak is.

If Rush( with other guys) beats Rams at LA and Eagles the week after, then I would say go with the hot hand.

what you say Zoners ?
