It would only be interesting if Dallas has an realistic chance in the playoffs with Rush and wins more than just the Eagles game. Which I don't see happening.
Dallas doesn't have realistic chance...when Rush went 4-1, he led the offense to 22nd ranking in every offensive category. the defense allowed about 13 points a game and scored a couple of time.

give me a defense like that and I will lead cowboys to 8 wins. gauranteed!

I think it will depend on how we won, although for some fans that won't matter. For example, if we win 13-10, that's saying more about the defense stepping up (which it hasn't done this year) than whatever Rush does. At the same time, if we lose and score between 21 and 24 points, we can't say that Dak would have done any better.
The lovers will.
And beating a team with alow score will show that Rush didn't leave the defense out there by themselves, but that he kept the offense moving enough to rest the defense.
It's a whole new game with a real quarterback under center.

I don't know if a low score would necessarily be a testament to Rush's play.

I'm not sure I'd refer to Rush as a "real quarterback," either. No matter what anyone thinks if Prescott, Rush is a career backup. The only thing that makes him good at that role IMO is his high football IQ. It's too bad we can't put his football mind into Trey Lance's body.

Time to burn this team down. Sit Rush and let lance do his thing...which is lose. I don't need rush going out there and showing why he was 6-1 in career starts with the boys.

I really like Rush, but the defense carried him. Now he's stepping into the worst running team, and worst running defense, and just an overall dumpster fire. I want him to win, but at the same time I have little hope this year. We are better off losing.

Well now we can play Rush and Lance at the same time with Lance no longer being the 3rd emergency QB. (I wonder if we will pick up an emergency QB? I wonder how long Dak will be out? IR for 6 weeks?)

I can see them both in the backfield and we can switch up run pass plays, change who gets the hike and lateral back an forth until a receiver gets open and whichever QB has the ball, they can throw it!

Oh yeah lots of fun and that genius/innovative MM can put it all together. That or our first play will be Rush under center and hand off to Rico for 3 yards.

I will still pay attention for any positives, but this season was over when we got stomped by NO and we all knew it then.

I had little hope for this year heading into this year, and that was before the injuries hit. I always root for my team to win, but yeah, the odds are stacked to the ceiling against it. That's part of the reason I'd rather see Lance. It would be an awful circumstance for him, QBing a team with no running game, a limited receiving corps and a bad line, but it would at least give him a chance to get some game experience and learn.

I hate the eagles, I don't even remember how many times I have said this in my life, but I want them to win. We literally need a new LT/RT (maybe Guyton can be a RT) DE/DT's WR's 2-5, A RG, safeties. This team is a damn wreck.

How apocalyptic will things get in Dallas?
Imagine if rush leads this team to victories over the eagles, Texans, and commanders. And then Dak gets the start on Thanksgiving against the Giants and loses.

Now that would be the perfect storm to finally get rid of Dak.

But honestly, this team has no shot against Philly, with or without Dak.

But it would be pretty dang entertaining if he started them on a win streak

Losing may well turn out to be the deal with the greatest likelihood, regardless of what occurs in the weeks to come.
Getting higher draft picks next draft might possibly be the key for our best chances for better things to come. :huh:

While the rest of us accepted that Dak would be Dak and play the way Dak plays,

Dak lovers will be hating on every move Rush makes, and if he wins they'll say the defense stepped up their game.

And if Rush struggles they'll be in their glory.

Because all they ever cared about was Dak.
