If Rush got all 1st team reps like Dak, would he have similar impact as Dak?

[GroundZero1970]

Which would be better an expensive wr like deebo w rush or an expensive albeit similar qb w cheap wrs

The no trade clause can be waived by Dak if he wants to be traded.

Not going to happen. But if somehow he gets benched and wants out they can trade him to a team if he approves it.

Well, I guess there

 

[Denim Chicken]

This is getting ridiculous

Fixed.

That's really not the point here.

If you recall, Romo wasn't actually out for the season. He was cleared to return well before the end of the season.

Not the point, good God. He didn't return the rest of the season.

If Dak is better than how is the impact similar? This is another one of your laughable takes that means nothing.

There's always a whole bunch of "what ifs" involved with the silliness.

 

[atlantacowboy]

You mean would he have sucked as badly as Dak against Tampa?

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Rush is not better than Prescott, but that’s not saying much either

Just the fact that you're comparing a 160 million dollar QB and bragging that he's better than a 1 million dollar QB pretty much sums up the pathetic plateau that Dak has fallen!

Your previous post stated:

Remember when Dak got an extremely rare opportunity to take over as starter when Romo was out a season?

This is nothing like that.
When players return from injury, they're taking back over. If it wasn't for the defense we're 0-2. Matter of time before Rush gets firgured out.
But hey, we know we can run the ball, so keep doing that.

Scenario 1: Romo was injured in preseason. Prescott took over. Romo was medically cleared to return to the active roster before the Steelers game (e.g. the ninth game of the 2016 season). Jones and Garrett prevented him from starting again.

Scenario 2: Prescott was injured in Week 1. Rush took over. In all likelihood, Prescott shall be both medically cleared 4-8 weeks after sustaining his injury and reinstated as starter.

You are correct that starters should take back over after being medically cleared. That did not happen with Romo. The odds highly favor it will happen with Prescott. Both past and present scenario will have occurred during the season since Romo was not out for the entire season due to injury.

Both scenarios are similar in regards to each particular player's situation at the time of their respective reinstatement as starter. Both scenarios would be different if Romo's injury prevented him from playing the whole season. That is the point.

What Rush accomplished is that he exposed the weaknesses of Dak once and for all that the latter’s unbelievers have been ranting about for years.

He made Dak’s weaknesses regarding poor, if any, lack of anticipation, holding onto the ball way too long, poor mechanics and pocket presence very clear for all see that they cannot deny, when the roster surrounding the QBs is the same.

There is a reason they never let Romo compete for his job back or work with the starting team anymore, because the difference was as clear as the difference between night and day. Dak has a weak psyche too and he folds like a deer staring into the headlights when the pressure rises, meaning the Jones boys in collaboration with Garrett basically ruined a short SB window for the mediocre QB on a hot streak with a loaded roster. Dak could have never handled Romo looking over his shoulder.

And now they are stuck in a NO-TRADE clause of a 160 million dollar contract for a mediocre QB.

You hit the nail on the head. A lot of our fans think otherwise because he talks the talk and sounds like he's the ultimate competitor with the highest level of confidence. In reality he's weak mentally and folds like a cheap tent under pressure.

Makes you really wonder what they could possibly have been thinking since they built the entire team around and for Romo's talent!! been saying the same thing for years...Great post!!

When Prescott gets injured (and assuming Rush has a miracle 11 wins) there's no chance of him staying in as starter when Dak is healthy. None. Romo didn't return after his injury and he was "cleared" well, because he got injured at will.

 

[JoeKing]

If Cooper Rush got all of the 1st team reps and attention that Dak got would he have a similar impact on a football game that Dak has and if so would he be much cheaper allowing us to put a better team on the field around him?


Of course Dak is better but if Rush had the same opportunities as Dak is the gap between them so narrow that it doesn’t make a difference between the two?

Keep in mind that Dak has 1 playoff win as a starter and he has done a lot of stat padding on weak teams.

The team has a ton of talent. The QB just needs to drive the bus, not try too hard. In many ways, this team is better with Rush at QB.

I agree. I have not said anything previously disputing that eventuality.

Okay.
