If Rush gets Hot

If he does get hot, then Jerry won't want to disrupt team chemistry by bringing Dak back in. It's the same thing that happened to Romo when he lost his job to Dak. Coop would have to win all the games except maybe one loss. He would need 350+ yards passing average and multiple TDs per game with the offense averaging 30+ points. It can be done but is low probability.

Maybe if he eats his spinach?

But, yea...even then Jerry probably won't want to sit the 40 million dollar man. Lord knows he's already lost enough money on other non-performing players who don't live up to the worth of their contract.

Do we keep the hot hand, or do we here the normal from Jerry "Dak is our guy, I want to make that clear!" One of the reasons I feel why we've never had a DECENT backup is because Jerry wanted to rid any QB controversy taking place!

At this point it's all about getting wins, please give me your thoughts..
Don't worry.
He wont.
Hot mess? Maybe...

They kept the hot hand in 2016 and it ended someone's career. It would be funny to see this repeated.



I will admit I was fine with Dak remaining in the starting role back in 2016 - the team and Dak were playing excellent without Romo. But you are right, the last quarter of the season he had dropped off significantly. Letting Romo return probably would have yielded far better results.

The difference in this case was Romo didn't play scared even after coming back from injuries. Dak seems terrified.

Do you mean like when Tony got hurt and missed the first half of 2016. And even though the team was having a great year, Daks play had started to drop off mid to late season, and instead of going with the percentages, JJ STUCK WITH DAK. WHYYYYYY.

Your memory sucks. Dak was in the middle of an 11 game win streak when Romo was ready to come back.

Why? Because it was the right move.

Dak is back in as soon as he's ready even if we win every game between now and then (we won't). It's not even a question.
Why do you miss those Field goals bud???
LOL.....Jerry wants Dak back in ASAP to have him continue to be booed and have trash thrown at him so when he trades him( long shot) or benches him there will be very little public backlash!!!
Common silly rabbit do you really expect Prescott to survive this season after all we've seen the past 6 years?
P.S.The contract and its cash are irrelevant now as Jerry knows he got taken for a ride in that deal!

How would any QB with an arm like Cooper Rush get hot?

He's going to get . . . sacked and intercepted, I suspect.

Ok, lets play alternate reality. If Rush goes 6-1 in Dak's absence, I don't think Dak sees the field again. Aikman didn't. Romo didn't.

But the chances of this happening are so small, you'd need an Infinite Improbability Drive in order to find that infinitesimal chance to be a reality.

Expecting Rush to get hot is fool's errand, Rush just needs to be mistake free and not generate negative plays when asked to pass.

Run game and especially the defense led by 11 will have to step up.

Just like vs Vikings.

His only win last year they scored 20. If Rush gets hot it's the defense getting hot, not Rush.
