No hate on Dak, but what does he do better than Rush?

[conner01]

Would love to hear what our fans think, logically.

Better pure passer? No
Better at reading defense? No
Better runner? Sure maybe
More decisive? No
More expensive? Yes

Everything

Individual stats would "show" that Kirk Cousins is a better quarterback than Dan Marino.

I'm not comparing Rush witn Marino but making the pertinent point that individual stats do not reveal the full story.

Rush was the QB of the Cowboys when they beat the Vikings without 100 yards rushing from a running ball. How many times has Prescott achieved that lately? This is important and should not be overlooked.

Rush made 4th quarter game winning drives against the Vikings and the Bengals - last season's Superbowl runners up. He then orchastrated two lovely drives against the Giants with a better side than they have had for several years for back to back touchdowns with the team trailing 13-6 in the second half.

In terms of team stats the Cowboys are 3-0 with Rush as QB whilst Prescott is 6-6 during the same period with the same roster. Turn your mind back to 2015 when the Cowboys started 2-0 with Romo then went 0-8 without him.

Conversely, the team is 7-7 without Prescott since 2016 with backup/practice squad quality quarterbacks and would have a winning record had Dalton not had to play with a decimated offensive line. Either the team is very good, Prescott isn't actually that important and is not a difference maker or all of the above.

Either way, this has been a dreadful couple of weeks for Prescott, yes Dak Prescott earning an average of $40 millions a year whilst a practice squad QB is making plays and winning games - only earning circa $1 million for the season.

He didn't pay well Jeez but there were reason and he want the worst player, nope the WRs , OL, and play caller far worse. Zeke was the best offensive player and Moore gave up on the run . different game, different situation, different level of competition....

dak had no support and looked horrible, and? i saw that game 1 by many top qbs and they all lost game 1..

I agree w/ you to some extent.I just said this in a previous post, but once in a while you have to make a play when things aren’t absolutely perfect around you.That’s what 40 million a year QB’s are supposed to occasionally do.

 

[NotForLong]

Lay off Dak. Once that thumb heals he'll have a firm grip on the clipboard.

 

[Silly]

In Dak's defense, the rushing game has improved. That might be helping Rush. Probably need to see what he can do when the rushing game is not working.

 

[NotForLong]

Come on man. We all saw that game. In no way was Rush a gun slinger. In no way has he proved he can keep up with a high octane offense. Yall want Dak to fail so bad you have to exaggerate everything.

They are cold stone Stats

You wanna micro focus on a shoot out. . . Let me tell you something . . . That argument is moot because thelis defense w il not allow for it

As far as going back and forth in a game . . . all 3 of Rush's victories could be described this way including clutch plays by Cooper to extend TD drives

What are you really arguing and for what reason?

 

[erod]

I haven't quoted a single stat???

My point is we didn't adjust. We never made an attempt at running the ball and exploiting the shell coverage Dak was seeing.

The difference between how Tampa was called vs the last 2 games is clear.

That doesn't mean Rush may not be better. It means we have to give Dak that opportunity to see how he responds.

Rush has defenses more off balance than Dak. Teams simply do not fear the ball in Dak's hand. They don't.

 

[CWR]

Again, blaming Moore. It’s not Moore’s fault Dak sucks against zone, including with Linehan. It’s not Moore’s fault Dak checks out of runs to throw.

Blame everybody but Dak, the guy whose been here 7 years in an offense tailored to him, not Rush. But it’s Moore’s fault for not adjusting the offense to Dak in year 7.

Because you know Mahomes, who wins SBS, playoff games and AFC championship games whenever he’s playing..

With Rush The running game will continue to be successful . . . He helps it

RUN
THE
BALL

Tell Dak to stop checking out of runs.

The Cowboys ran 12-14 times by the first series of the third quarter against the Bucs. They “abandoned” the run because they were down 19-3. I’m just surprised Dak didn’t pull out his typical garbage-time stats mode after that.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Funny how the game plan changed for Rush. Its not a bunch of curls & slants. He's actually putting the ball in the hands of playmakers (Pollard) & sticking with the run.

Will be interesting to see if the game plan remains the same when Dak gets back.

I think it's more Rush making the call. QB's do have options at the line.

Man, that just could be the answer I'm looking for.

I've come to terms with it man,
Its the Dallas Prescott disease. They would rather lose with him at QB than see a team win with Rush at QB.

Player over team. The whole lot of them.

Pay it no mind.

 

[NotForLong]

NOT THE SAME AT ALL... dak was a young healthy and next man up winnig 11 games in row against top competition in that run, while Romo was at the end of the line too broken and he never played again, correct move. Daks in his prime under contract and hasnt done anything to lose his spot nor has Rush been that impressive to take the job..

we can revisit at the end of his deal or when it teams friendly enough to move on, this is NOT THE TIME

Wrong . . .

2016 the team was made to dominate and the addition of an All Pro Veteran QB would have put them over the top . . . Romo never played again because Jerry Jerked Him around

Now for Dak He is actually the broken down QB and returning to Him (Which they will) will only cement His demise as He will fall miserably

Wondering if this is the product of Dak checking out of plays…something to ponder

You want to provide some data as to that actually happening?

Furthermore if it is the case I will blame Dak first, but the coaches ultimately need to hold him accountable. We can't abandon the run, whether it be qb choice or coordinator.

Show me where he's done that to an extent noteworthy.

If he fails then it’s just more concrete evidence for us to move on - this is is a situation to leave no stone unturned the team needs to be sure Dak fails before sticking with Rush IMHO

 

[NotForLong]

He floppedjust like the rest of the team. How many of those 14 penalties did dak commit? Im ok if Rush continues like this to leave him in but its not going to happen. We have played nobody thus far The win against the bengal who now appear to be the bungles again mean very little and of course we dont count the giants because well theyre the Giants.

I have that on good authority from all the experts in here

Did you watch the game last night . . . The Cooper led Cowboys are getting Non Calls . . .

Penalties are a non excuse. . . Cooper won inspite of the refs yesterday
