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

[Hadenough]

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.

But you see thats the thing about Prescott. Not many on the team like him! That's why they don't play hard for him. We saw this a few years ago too. Dak trying to talk like he is a leader and wanting to be paid elite money makes him one of the most obnoxious people on the team. He never shoulders the blame when he doesn't show up in the playoffs! Nobody is fighting for that clown.

Maybe. Maybe not.

What Rush does seem to do better is make better decisions, play under center more, get rid of the ball quicker, and help sustain drives longer. Perhaps all of those things combined have made the team look better, including the offensive line and defense, even if he’s not as “talented” as Dak and has a noodle arm.

Rush has a game of passing for 44 yards and for some strange reason people think he would’ve did better lol.

When being a "bus driver" is justified.

 

[CowboysRule]

The reason they don’t look different is for one Dak was having a bad year just like last year except he had a whole season to get right. Rush at his best is comparable to Dak at his worst.

Dak has had 10 years to get right. If you're the highest paid player in NFL history your floor should not be comparable to that of an undrafted backup with no arm strength and no mobility. I know Rush isn't out here beating amazing teams...but neither was Dak.

 

[JBS]

As much of a chance if Prescott were QB!

Not sure why people think because rush sucks that that means Dak doesn’t suck. You are well aware that they both can suck right ?

Just how the NFL is. Guys randomly have these bad years.

Russell Wilson had a terrible last few years.
Mahomes is having the worst year of his career.
Kirk Cousins is having the worst year of his career.

Just part of the NFL journey.

Whoa...now wait a sec. I think he's a choker, but Dak absolutely takes blame when he doesn't show up in the playoffs. He literally said "I sucked" publicly about the Green Bay playoff game. Say what you want about the guy, but he does accept blame.

Wilson and Cousins are both 36 years old and clearly at the end of their careers, not signing extensions that make them the highest paid player ever. And Cousins is in his first year on a team while returning from a season ending injury so I'm not sure they are comparable. Mahomes, while not playing well, has done enough to lead his team to victory. Something Dak has failed to do mostly his entire career.

How does the offense look better scoring about 15 points a game? That includes 3 games against bottom.feeding defenses.

Whe your defense sucks and you have to win in a shootout you tend to throw picks because you have to take chances

With Rush there is no.shootout option. Can not happen. Will not happen.

Rush drives a kiddie bus. On a 24 volt battery.

I'm really amazed how much some people hate Cooper. Your post is full of irrational preceps.
If you have clock control and few turnovers....you don't need a lot of points you don't need a shootout. And you keep their offense off the field, and our defense on the bench.

Kiddie bus? Really. Dak doesn't need your irrational protection by dissing Rush this hard.

 

[jaybird]

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.

BS

Don't be silly. Rush is a below average back up off of a practice quad. Nothing more, nothing less. Pointing the fact out isn't hate, even though you suggest it is. You either know nothing about the X's and O's of football, or you have a Dak hating quest, where you attempt to hide it, but it's too obvious.
Now you'll respond with something like: "I know you are, but what am I?"

I never said...ever...coop was the next Brady so not sure what you are jabbering about.

You guys diss coop on stats, make excuses for the wins.
Meanwhile praise dak for his many meaningless stats and blame the rest of the team for losses.

Meanwhile the end results are much the same.

You either know nothing about football or have a Cooper hating quest.

 

[Doomsday]

They were pretty much blown out in every one of the early losses.

Rush wasn't going to win one of those game.

I don't hate cooper rush. what's with these Dak haters!!! what's with these Dak haters living only at the extremes!?

if somebody doesn't 24x7 dump on Dak, then they must be a Dak Lover. you have to just pour on the hate to max, else you are a dak Lover.

If somebody doesn't just gush over Rush and make every little thing into a reason to throw a parade, some claiming that he would have taken us to the superbowl 2 years ago!!! then you hate Cooper.

I don't hate cooper. I see him for what he is. a very limited QB, that can't compete against better teams and needs a lot of support to barely beat bottom feeding teams. what is wrong with that?
and you say turn overs. we couldn't pass the ball for more than 40 yards against Philly. PLAYING THE ENTIRE GAME. that's historic worst performance. Offense managed all of 6 points. against Houston, all of 10 points....turnovers or no turnovers.....you aren't going anywhere if you can't compete against these teams. we couldn't even score in garbage time.....

the facts are that the TOP has been better playing Giants and Panthers (whose wouldn't) but otherwise its been worse than before, so perception over reality for Rush Love. and the over all difference has been less than 2 minutes a game, with the three toughest games coming up for rush, so don't count your chickens yet!!!! again with the Rush Love.

and tell me how many teams have succeeded in the NFL averaging 15 points a game? shoot out...averaging 20 points would be very nice.

you people and your fantasay world you live in. tell me is sky green where you are?

 

[TrailBlazer]

The team plays harder for Cooper Rush. No question.

You said kiddie car along with other stupidity...so...the guy is a winning nfl qb.

Not sure what you are babbling about. I never said anything about how great coop is, next coming of brady or hof....but there you are lying about it.
Meanwhile, You make excuses for coop wins and dak losses .

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Better hush up....the kids will call you a dak hater.

But you are obviously right....so they can.... go fly a kite!

oh, so now I gave you some of your own medicine using extreme analogy and you are throwing a tantrum.
you can't deal with your own type of rhetoric.

and you came to defense of Rush rather quickly, making up Bull....you are a Rush Lover in disguise, but your disguise sucks.
no excuses for Coop wins. I have said. he lost to better teams...badly. he beat bottom feeding teams. prove me wrong!?

To even put Rush ahead of Prescott is just trolling on a pathetic level. You refuse to educate yourself on how different the team is from the beginning of the season till now, but will blindly attribute the differences to a back up, who's awful, just because Dak gives you the sads....

Seriously, you just repeat what people say and respond back.

I'm a fan of whoever is playing, doesn't mean Rush is in anyway or ever was a better QB option.

 

[Mikexike]

So in your expert opinion average of 15 points a game is enough?

Ooookkkk then.

Let's score 6 points and celebrate no turnovers.

Btw do fumbles count? Just wondering. Give Rush has tendency to cough up regularly

I'm no expert so lets get that out of the way, Just a casual fan with an opinion.

15 is enough if the defense doesn't give up 2 td's

Seen plenty of games where fg's win the game with a stout defense... many examples from the steelers.

Fumbles count but at least rush isn't doing it in his own territory where the other team scores right away.
