If it wasn't for our Defense, Rush would suck

I understand what you're saying. But for anyone that says Dak isn't putting up good numbers. How many comebacks have Dak had? And it's not that I'm a Dak lover. I'm a Cowboys lover. I defended Romo when my friends used to put him down. What I'm saying is, when Dak put up similar numbers as Rush, people bashed him. And this was before his contract. People hate Dak for different reasons but not man or woman enough to admit it. Dak is a very good QB and we're....meaning Jerry and co.......are going to waste it. Dak or Rush is not going to win every game. Hell Dak may not take us to the Superbowl, but is he a very good QB...yes he is. Rush is a very decent backup. No way would he start for 30 of the 32 teams in the NFL. He's benefitting from a good defense and the fact that we really haven't played anyone but TB. I'm not trying to take anything away from him, but those are the facts. I want to win a Superbowl, whether it's Dak or Rush. I will continue to root for Cooper because he's a Cowboy. Which is the most I can say about many people on this board when it comes to Dak.

Dak, for his career, has 10 4th quarter comeback wins:

5 in 2016
0 in 2017
3 in 2018
0 in 2019
1 in 2020
1 in 2021

@Dorsett33 ....this highlights the watershed we've now reached. A QB2 (with the same Offense and admittedly good D) has shown what's possible. There are no excuses....no KM, no Offensive strategy, no O-Line weakness, no injury concerns, no the Defense let us down.
We now have the comparison of seeing what a limited QB can do with the team and we all expect Dak to take this team deep into the play-offs. If he doesnt get us there (I'M NOT SAYING HE WONT) a lot of fans (probably the vast majority) are going to question whether is better to pay Dak $100m over 2023-24, or trade him (even Wentz got a trade return) play with a lesser QB, and use the CAP saving (or incoming draft picks) to improve the all round roster.

"Or trade him"?? Excuse me if I'm mistaken about this, but It's my understanding that Dak has a no trade clause in his contract, does he not?
Granted, it's time for Dak to *you know what* or get off the pot, but IF the defense fails to continue their strong performance I don't expect an unrealistic performance from Dak. He's capable of playing good football, but he's not elite.
Rush has benefitted from a full team effort, and Dak needs the same, he can't do it alone.
Bottom line, the defense is playing well and our offense is playing better than it did in our 1st game, so I expect a good performance from Dak when the time comes. But I learned a long time ago, don't count your chickens before they hatch.
