Make no mistake, Rush is playing for the starting job Sunday

[America's Cowboy]

The mental breakdown within this forum is going to be epic.

Jerry ain't paying dak 40 million to ride the bench.

If we can Keep Rush next season I would like it But I suspect some team might take a flyer on him and give him a shot at starting

Think your right

He was paying Romo a lot of money and he had him ride the bench due to a hot hand. If Cooper Rush was real productive and our offense was generating a lot of points he would stay with him and I don’t care how much Dak is making. Problem is we’re having to play very conservative with Rush and we’re not sustaining drives and aren’t scoring enough TDs.

If Rush passes for 300 plus yards and three touchdowns and the offense posts a forty burger, okay. I’ll go along with what you’re selling.

This is very different to Romo. Dak’s contract has already received 3 signing bonuses. This means Jerry has pushed so much of Dak’s contract back into future years that not only would it be implausible to cut him this year or next, but he’s very likely going to require an extension to alleviate this problem.


Bottom line is 11 wins with Dak as the rest-of-season QB is better longterm than the headache that would surround Cooper Rush finishing a 13-4 season. Jerry won’t let that happen.

All that smoking made it just 1's and 0's and auto-self-flatulence at this point so I can say with confidence that you're on point in your self-assessment.

I envy you.

Well, not really, but in some sort of way I do.

Nah. You joke too much.
You're more Romulan.
Did I spell that right? I don't watch Star Trek.

Fascinating.

Yes, you spelled it correctly.

And shame on you. Not watching Star Trek is.... illogical.

 

[Jayinem]

As someone who wants to give Rush a chance at starting QB at least until he loses, it's Dak's job. They're not giving it to Rush, period.

 

[Corso]

Fascinating.

And then there's this guy.
Who I think is a Romulan spy...
But I drink too much of them there Romulan Ale so don't trust me.

If that happens I'll show you a team that will be disappointed.

The Chase Daniel reference earlier in this thread fits. Some guys are good backup QBs. Thinking you're going to build a serious contender around their limitations is a mistake.

There’s differences but the bottom line is we’re not going to finish 13-4 with this putrid passing attack. Our running game hasn’t been consistent week after week and it’s obvious to everyone we’re winning games because of our defense. Good luck finding a team in the history of the NFL that’s won a championship with the 27th ranked offense or worse. The 2000 Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl with the 16th ranked offense and a very average QB because they had one of the great defenses in NFL history.

For someone who doesn't watch Star Trek, you seem to know a lot of references from the show lol.

Yea kinda I think like a QA Inspector and QA Engineer I worked in the Military and commercial aircraft industry so look out what you fly on I may have inspected some very important parts on the aircraft you chose to fly on

Yeah I was just speaking hypothetically. In this case, Cooper outperforming Dak will create as many issues as it will benefits in Jerry’s world

 

[big dog cowboy]

Rush wins Sunday night he will have earned the starting spot.

No.

Even if the Cowboys win 30-0 Dak will get his starting job back eventually.
