I'm sorry but Cooper Rush isn't good

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I mean he’s right but I’d also add it’s hard to win with a terrible Rush.

well, I have been saying that for few years now...Rush needs a strong defense to keep games close for us to have a chance to win. when that's not there, he doesn't have the offensive output ability to win games.
and people here are surprised....

We’ve never won a game because of him. Hes not capable but I do agree he is what he is so hard to ask for much. Hes a backup for a reason. I still think Lance can at the very least move the football to score.

He keeps the team in the game. That’s literally all that is expected of him. It was already Lance time when Dak went down, but Jerry won’t admit it.

Not even close. I posted some stats and analysis about this very thing several days ago, and everyone ignored it (as predicted). Cooper Rush has been objectively worse in nearly every reasonable advanced passing metric you can think of. Basically, he's getting the ball out quicker but throwing way shorter routes and the The two main differences between Rush at QB and Dak at QB are Offensive Line play and the Defense, both of which have been better the last month due to new players on the OL and return of key starters on Defense. Rush's Expected vs Actual completion % is abysmal, one of the worst in the league. Dak for all his faults this year and with a worse OL in front of him was at least still in the positive.

Dak had a worse OL ? He had a healthy Guyton whose better than Edoga and Zach Martin who even at less than 100% is better than Bass. I don't care about QB stats, I care about wins per dollar. Cooper is a much better deal.

He's a backup QB. If he were good, he'd be a starter. Some folks here have strange expectations of backup QBs.

Have you watched any games this year? Guyton was AWFUL in the first 8 games of the year and Zach Martin has been the weakest link on a bad OL all season. Bass is 1000% better.

You don't care about QB stats? Better QBs tend to put up better stats.

Wins per dollar? who in the hell cares about this? Every fan cares about WINNING. Nobody sits around and says "Yeah, we went 6-11 but hey man, that wins per dollar tho!" What the hell even is this, dude. Get out of here with that.

I swear to God, this board.

Think about how bad Lance must be if he can't take one single snap away from Cooper Rush.

The coaches see these guys in practice every single day, they know who is good enough to play and who isn't.

 

[leeblair]

Dak has been in the league for 9 seasons. Rush has been in the league for 8 seasons.

Dak has been a perennial top 10 quarterback his whole career, broke team records, became an All-Pro and MVP candidate. Rush has bounced off and on practice squads, been a third string and finally graduated up to 2nd string his whole career.

Now with that said.... either 31 other coaches and GMs are blind and have very low football IQs for not signing Rush.... or you are blind and have a low football IQ for believing Rush is better than a top 10 starting quarterback.

Which one is it? I'll let you answer that.

Dak has had marquee talent around him and he can still only beat cellar dwellers.
He has hurt the Cowboys, not helped.
Those great stats came against bottom feeders or loose defenses in games he had already choked away.
They mean as much as the championships he has won- oops!

I see why people ignore you.

 

[JBS]

If you didn’t know this years ago, your football IQ is in the gutter

No crap he isn’t good

 

[leeblair]

Yet the one win the Cowboys had a couple a weeks ago over the cellar dweller Giants seemed to mean so much to you, that you claimed that win and the win over the Commanders was better than anything the Cowboys had done in the last 17 years. Including the seasons where the team won 12 or more games and made the playoffs.

Nothing Cooper Rush has done has convinced any other NFL team that he is a QB who can lead them to Championships. Yet you continue to build him up.

Rush beat the Commanders, and only a fumble cost him last night's game.
You conveniently leave out facts.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

You're too sensitive. His completion percentage was hot garbage. He underthrew multiple times. He can't pass accurately 15+ yards deep. The last play of the game he failed miserably to see a wide open Lamb right in front of him, instead he throws another duck.
But yeah, go ahead and point out nice throws you can't even identify.

I think it's you being too sensitive..imagine that.

Me: "A couple good throws" and "runs like my old lazy hip replaced arse".

YOU: "OH YEAH?...welll bbbbhbhbb STATS and PROOOOOOOOVE IT!!!!!"

Your are looking to just fight and claim your win. Well...have it then...as sad and pathetic as that is.

 

[leeblair]

Oh I know people are sick of Dak. But no one thinks Rush is better lol. That only ones saying that dislike Dak for things outside of football. Rush stinks. His punt throws just rob him of being consistent.

You really don't understand being a quarterback, do you?
Rush moves the team.
He actually keeps the offense on the field.
Arm strength has very little do with being a quarterback.

Even WITH provable examples, you don't have an argument. Carry on with your projection.

 

[DIAF]

I see why people ignore you.

Yeah because they don't like facts that inconvenience their brain-dead arguments, like WINS PER DOLLAR.

No one gives a **** about wins per dollar when you've won 5 games, dawg. What a loser thing to say.

Keep celebrating Cooper's $1,437,500 per win spend, I guess?

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

wait what...the idiot said that win against commanders was the best win in the last 17 years!!! how stupid...truly stupid statement

He said in another thread that the last 2 weeks the Cowboys had with Cooper Rush was better than anything which the team accomplished under either Dak or Romo in the last 17 seasons. And even downplayed the 2014 season in an attempt to make it seem like 2 regular season wins should be viewed as better than the season where the Cowboys won 12 games and actually won a playoff game that year.

 

[DIAF]

Rush beat the Commanders? You mean the Commanders who gave up 2 kick return TDs in a game that Dallas won by 8 points?

Seems like someone is conveniently leaving out that fact.

 

[Creeper]

Dak wasn't winning this game either.

I disagree. Dak is a much better QB than Cooper Rush.

OMG...he is a true drama queen....you have to have some significant mental deficiency to come up with that statement.

however, he is well know to be an attention hore.

 

[CoachD]

Ummmm he's a back up and one of the best back ups the Cowboys ever had! The guy is 7-4 as a starter.

 

[stiletto]

Yes Lance sucks.

So did Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold and Geno smith, etc. They all sucked.
Lance is a baby, he's 23 years old with elite athleticism.

He's need reps, we'll see him soon enough.

They aren't starting Lance unless Rush gets hurt.
