Pretty clear, I wasn't. I was referring to back ups when I said back ups. Rush & Brown play well. Probably has something to do with all the practice reps together.

I think he was asking if your comments were comparing Rush to Dak. Considering the context of the thread title, not sure why you would reply the way you did.

Sorry, not every post is about "Dak vs. Rush." It's insane you can't talk football. Not everything revolves around the title. Sorry it doesn't meet the agenda. I replied the way I did because I had a thought and posted it.
Let it go.

He does nothing better.
Rush looks just as good, if not better.
Last night the cowboys actually looked like they wanted to win in the worst way. Cowboys play better with Rush at QB....at least for two games, so far.
If Rush can keep turnovers low and keep making good decisions, he'll be fine.
This can not be stressed enough . . . The Environment in Dallas has created a Toxic environment of Lay the Blame. . . These players are very tech Savoy and are well aware of the comments on Social media

The constant bashing of other aspects of the team in order to excuse Dak has caused a lot of Hate to be thrown out . . . Now They are all coming together as a Team in order to prove all the Dak Fans wrong

Take Lamb for Example . . . Terrible things were said about Him this offseason and then He had the drop and itcwas looking bad . . . but then he redeemed himselfand that growl on the sidline was Him "Waiting to Exhale"

Dak has bee a Weight on everyones shoulders . . . When He comes Back and If they insert Him back into the lineup . . . He better bring His A Game

Because at this point Its No longer His Team . . . He is just another Cowboy and He better elevate His Game . . . The Offensive Line The Wide Receivers The Te the RB and Kellen & McCarthy are no longer a viable excuse any longer

Step up your game or get out of the way

That's what it has come down to

The Cowboys are winning as a team . . . No Room for Pre Madonnas trying to promote themselves in order to get paid

I was attempting to explain how it read from a 3rd party perspective. You recently asked about why we don't talk as much as we used to. This exchange is a good example. You're tossing words out like, "agenda," and telling me to, "let it go," when all I did was show how you, "literally," said you weren't talking about Rush when he quoted you talking about Rush. Wasn't a jab, just an attempt to validate a little, "confusion" and seek clarification.

You're getting to Roy levels of sensitivity here. Everything doesn't need to be a fight.

What does Prescott do better than Rush?
I've been asking that for weeks now.
I got one responder (loststar2009) who said Dak is better at managing games.
Not very specific.
he can achieve a better Sun Tan . . . I assume but don't Quote me or anything

I didn’t say teams didn’t ‘change the way’ they played defense with Mahomes. What I said is your comparison of Dak with respect to Mahomes is the typical bogus, throw mud-at-the-wall comparison you Dak supported always try and latch onto to save w sinking ship. Dak seeing more zone is not the same thing as teams rushing only 3 on 44% of snaps for Mahomes to try and slow him down.

Dak has always sucked against zone period. Defenses have never respected his arm like they do with the actual elites. Teams just figured they don’t need to bring an extra rusher in the box as much anymore and can make him look like a bottom 29 QB regularly by dropping into zone more.
:hammer:

You call it throwing Mud at the Wall . . . I call it being deliberately Obtuse . . . aka Playing Dumb


I like when they play Dumb . . . it provides for more insight from you

The main point of your “thesis” was you claim Dak would figure it out like Mahomes. You Dak-lovers will disrespect guys that actually won SBs and consistently throughout their careers faced heavy zone with analogies that are complete garbage to prop up Dak. Saying Dak will figure out throwing against zone coverage, like Mahomes adjusting to unique looks defenses were playing against him has no basis in actual play. Dak has ALWAYS sucked against zone.

It’s just another attempt to hoist the blame on Moore , as if the game plan is any different. Moore can’t do anything for Dak’s poor anticipation and inability to read defenses.

Dak had 6-0 run last year, 2018 5-0 he destroys the East, while rush does JUST ENOUGH. stop being blind hater and in fact stop talking money Daks under contract and hes here for this year stay in the now..he is getting his job back and deservingly so.. who cares BU making less is available. Rush is nice backup but is limited, period.

THE biggest thing i see during the last 2 weeks in MOORE he calls a very different game for Rush then he does for Prescott. there run heavy and balance. for some reason he seems to just call mostly pass pays for Dak and allows dak to audible into run if it looks better.

Daks A far better qb then rush But Moore needs to call the game the same way and Dak and this team will be better off..daks better, period and deserves his job back. that why, the national media's saying, the coaches are saying it,

and ALL SANE fans not wearing dak Hate goggles would say, dak should get his job back... hes clearly a better qb...

hes had far better win streaks..jeez how about 11, 6, 3 in 2019 and in 2018 that late run what 5 in a row? i mean do we have a bunch of fans with selective memory. Nothing Rush has done has been impressive with the exception hes not messing it up, hes doing just enough. that great we found out the coaches and owner KNEW Rush was the best choice and did have plan at WR, OL, and Defense..even Maher was the best choice.

all this love for player(s) most here came out and said Rush is trash and we were DONE when dak went down unless we traded for a better qb.. Noah browns was called trash they wanted smith or Vasher, Tyler 73 wouldn't hold up and shouldn't thbe the LT they wanted some expensive vets left over , Jerry had NO plan, Maher worst ever choice, and we wouldn't win another game this season.

HEY MODS can you go back after daks injury week one and please PIN all those posts back up and highlight and call out every zoner who said those things and now are flipping their opinion and now are saying the opposite. hypocrites.

go pin mine i said rush would be the best choice because he knew the offense and dak would be back before you could get anther qb ready to play.
odd how narratives get busted.

so now Dak comes back and pays the better teams lie he did with the Bucs now maybe rams eagles B2B and will be under fan microscope. they are clearly better then Bengal's, giants and commanders..

so now the morons will say look we took rush out and lost and will claim they are right.
thats not how it works..

Dak will be playing better teams, period. he give us the best chance to win those games because we will need MORE Offense and Rush is don't screw it up a Bus driver.. most underwhelming production at qb, which is fine but we will need MORE offense and daks the qb to do it on our roster. win or lose its the best decision and im getting tired head having to wake up fans with moronic statements about how Rush should keep the job.

if you do not know or agree, well, you are clueless. these posts don't age well.. real sports fans see though it. even the national media say Dak is better and should get his job back, all of them.
:rolleyes:

Rush has the gift of sensing pressure and always finds an open area where he can step into the throw where Quack panics and chokes . Very impressed the way Rush led his receivers with perfectly thrown passes even though some were dropped . He can read his receivers and gets rid of the ball much quicker than Quack .
Bottom line : Rush is more than just a capable backup and should start even
when Quack is back .
:dance:Because Quack is Whack and that's a Fact

the ENTIRE offense and offensive coaches were pathetic, thats a Fact....rush would have been cRushed by that Bucs did like they did the next week to NO outplayed us and we weren't prepared,

get over it

so was Rogers, Stafford, burrows, Murray and 8 playoff teams other than us lost game 1, ands didn't look good week one. Dak didnt get chance to bounce back, got hurt get over it. no player plays 17 perfect or great games, that's not how it works.
He played against the Bucs . . . He came in cold and made some throws . . . Maybe if they benched Dak at the Half The Cowboys would have had a better chance . . . maybe they would have won.

I have to think it's the latter. This may be a blessing in disguise. If he's willing to learn poise, quick decision making, and reading defenses from Cooper, I can see Daks game vastly improving
:lmao2::lmao::lmao:

Cooper can be Dak's New QB Guru

I'm by no means a Dak hater. IMO he is our QB.
However, I find it interesting that our coaching staff seems to have put together 2 perfect game plans (against the Bengals and Giants), and that Rush perfectly orchestrated those game plans.
If you watched the Curt Warner analysis of the Niners playoff loss, he certainly called into question either our offensive play calling, or Dak's decision making (or both).
I was sort of leaning towards Moore being the issue more than Dak, but the last 2 games have made me question that.
Cooper Rush is a very limited QB, yet we seem to have very solid game plans for him. Run the ball, high % quick passes, and great defense. Rush seems to orchestrate that game plan and play within it. Makes the right reads, gets the ball out quickly etc. I remember one play in particular last night where a LB blizted, and Rush immediately threw the ball (to the TE) to the spot the LB had just vacated. That is a textbook good decision. Does Dak make that same decision?
It will be interesting to see how we do against better teams. I think the Bengals and Giants are solid, but we have the Rams and Eagles coming up.

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

Well, Dak probably has a better looking girlfriend than Rush. Dak has a bigger house and a better bed to sleep on than Rush does. Dak makes more commercials than Rush does. Rush does not have half a football field in his backyard like Dak does. Dak gives out free shoes to his teammates, Rush does not do that. Dak can find his way to the First National Bank faster than Rush can. Dak dresses better than Rush on road trips. Dak proclaims he's "a big mo fo" and he is bigger than Rush. Dak has BBQ delivered to his house while Rush has to go out to Mickey D's to eat. I'm sure Dak does better at some more things than Rush, but as for football? I'm at a loss for words.

Was it on Moore? I always blamed Moore but it seems like its been Dak. I mean Rush is playing with less talent than Dak has had and is just better at running the offense. I do think Dak has better arm strength and we will see how this plays out but Dak holds the ball too long and isnt good at reading the defense
