I'm sorry but Cooper Rush isn't good

Jerry and Big Mac need to recognize this season is long gone. Cooper Rush is a decent backup for 2-3 games tops. DCs now have plenty of tape now on how to frustrate him and put him in positions where he has to depend on things he doesn’t have. Like arm strength and mobility.

They should play Lance and Will Grier too. Lance is awful but it might be fun awful. Grier is a wild card but who cares at this point. Bottom line for me is it’s past time to act like these games are meaningful for anything other than developing young players.

you do remember he’s a backup right? If he was better, he wouldn’t be our backup, he’d be a starter somewhere else.

He’s a decent backup qb

Lots of fans forgot that in the past Rush was twice placed on the practice squad and no one picked him up. In a league literally starved for decent QB play, Rush was passed on by 31 teams.

And yes, Rush is a decent backup.

I respect Rush for his efforts but he is limited. There's a reason he is a backup quarterback after being in the league for 8 years.

Again I appreciate him for his efforts but he should never be mentioned in the same sentence as Dak or any other NFL caliber starting quarterback. Point, blank, period.

And for those who want to mention that 5-1 win streak..... that was all defense.
Excellent points.
It is painful to watch him turn away from open receivers because he can’t physically propel the ball beyond 15 yards in an NFL manner

This sounds like the Club is disbanding. Cooper been dealt a bad hand by many on this board, with the lofty expectations, refusal to acknowledge his limitations, and due to hate for the other guy. Not Cooper fault at all, he is what he is. Let's continue to hope for him, he is ours. Agree that Lance should get some action, but don't toss Cooper out now.

Both Cooper and Dak could benefit from a coaching staff that understands how to properly utilize a running game and time of possession. Antiquated concepts I know.

Hurts is making 51m or 11m more than Dak this season (funny how extension last work). Meanwhile the Eagles have top 10 players at the other 10 positions on offense (top 5 in several cases). Then on defense they have one of the best secondaries in the NFL.

So the question simply becomes why are the Eagles, who are paying an inferior QB more, not struggling to put that much talent around him? Why can they do what the Cowboys can’t? Perhaps the “cap killing” narrative is just nonsense to mask that Jerry is bad at building a team.

Hey Bobby you're agenda driven and we know for who.
What do you expect from a 2 million $ back-up?
Who do you think you got on the bench, Dan Marino?
Sell your agendas to Todd France man and maybe he will give you a raise!!!

He is what he is, which is a Jason Garrett clone. He can win games if he’s starting from time to time but there are obvious limitations.
