I think we have more than 6 wins this season if Cooper Rush starts week 1

[CowboysFever1973]

6-8 and not even I think we have a chance at playoffs. Technically not eliminated but it’s not happening. That aside, we could technically be in the hunt still if Cooper Rush started this season. I think with Cooper Rush under center, this team would be 8-6 right now. We definitely beat the Falcons with Rush under center and I think there’s a chance we beat 49ers too. It pisses me off to be 6-8 right now. This team should still be in the hunt and that should make this fanbase sick.

I think if he started the season he would have 14 fumbles in the red zone this year.

Hahahahahah. First of all your premise is wrong. But let’s pretend you are right. And let’s even exaggerate and pretend we made the playoffs. Big flippin whoop. Are you silly enough to actually think this team would have a shot in the playoffs ?

 

[aikemirv]

Rush sucks - why teams don't blitz him every down is beyond me!

Lol

The only thing working for rush is he takes less risk then dak because he has a noodle arm( hence less turnovers before the red zone )

But what Rush has shown is you can win with a noodle arm being smart with the ball.

But i will say some of his panic throws kill me, along with fumbling and bumbling the ball in the redzone.

 

[CowboysRule]

It doesn't matter honestly. The fact that we haven't really played that much worse with Rush under center as compared to the guy who was just made the highest paid player in NFL history shows just how terrible of a contract that was. I'll defend Jerry over a lot of things as I think he gets a lot of crap he doesn't deserve but there's no defending that.

 

[The Ominous]

Sshhhhhh...no one cares.

Sucks that the risk taker didn't take the risk with dak, now we are screwed!!!!!!

 

[DUO_CORE]

Rush would be an awesome slow-pitch soft ball pitcher.

The qbs don't play defense.

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

Rush is definitely playing well, but the offensive line play is the biggest positive.

 

[CowboysRule]

The qbs don't play defense.

No, but turning the ball over, especially in the Red Zone, puts a lot more pressure on them to get stops. The defense is built to play with a lead. We haven't had many of those this year.

 

[RS12]

There isnt a QB on this roster that is ever going to lead this team to anything meaningful.

 

[Tabascocat]

Maybe, maybe not but neither will lead this team on a deep playoff run. But, it certainly would be at 1/25th the cost

 

[baltcowboy]

The biggest difference is improved play of the offensive line, making Dowdle the number 1 back, the schedule getting much easier, and the coming together of the front 7.

 

[Nav22]

Yeah, no.

Dak didn't play well this year, but he also had a garbage defense and a garbage run game (hey Zeke!) to deal with.

 

[lwehlers]

the cowboys would have eight wins or more with prescott if the defense was not garbage at the beginning of the season. prescott was not great by any means but the defense did not do him any favors. no quarterback would have been able to win with as bad as the defense and running game was the first six weeks.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Dak’s trash but so is Rush. He’s cheap trash tho, better than expensive trash. At the end of the day we’ll never win anything with any of the QBs currently on the team.

I think we'd have one more loss, to Pittsburgh. Although he had two interceptions, Prescott had to play like a franchise QB for us to win that one against a very hot defense. Defense collapsed on us against the Saints and Lions, and we've scored over 27 points just once with Rush at QB (and that was this week against possibly the worst overall team we've faced). None of those games we played before Prescott's injury would we have won with fewer than 27 points, except against the Steelers, and again, that took a 352-yard effort from Prescott.
