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

[shabazz]

In our 2022 culture Dakota does exactly 2 things better

1. Commands the Huddle like no other…..which means his boys like him ( he never calls them out for bad plays)

2 Community outreach aka “giving back to the community”…..probably the most important quality for a quarterback to have if one listens to ESPN

 

[ShortRound]

Interested to see how Dak reacts when he comes back. Does this make him fold or does it light a fire on his butt?

 

[Mr_437]

He's more hip and cool.

That's about it.

Speculation.
We don't know Rush's personality.

 

[Techsass]

I don't like Dak's salary, but that's pretty much the going rate for a starting QB. As far as ability goes Dak is much better than Cooper Rush.

 

[Mr_437]

Rush: Accurate, gets ball out quickly, decent to good deep ball, plays well under pressure

Dak: Sells more jerseys and sleeps on a sleepnumber bed. Also is great behind the mic.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Not lately.

All I can do is go by what I’ve seen from them in 6 years. Dak has been a better thrower.

You are literally trying to elevate a Jason Garrett over a Troy Aikman.

You just compared Dak to Troy Aikman.

Yup, Amari was pretty good. Cooper could use him

Well let Rush get more film and body of work for more teams to gameplan against him and see how he produces then when he's a week to week priority.

I don't doubt he will pass the test, but slow your roll when comparing him to a quarterback in Dak who has a pretty good winning percentage with years of experience for defenses to gameplan against him.

 

[Mr_437]

Dak is no longer a better runner. That used to be his advantage. But he doesn't run anymore. Rush just runs this offense better than Dak. Takes his shots downfield and opens up the defense to make it easier to run. Defenses can't put 8 in the box.

Rush can run too, most don't know that but stay tuned.

 

[pansophy]

Dak throws a better football. Better deep ball thrower for sure.

Dak has a stronger arm -- Cooper's passes were on target deep tonight.

Truth!!!

 

[streetcredit]

Dak is bigger, stronger, more mobile, stronger arm...Rush is a QB

Coop is like everything the league wanted out of Gardner Minshew but times 10.

 

[Parcells4Life]

Arm strength without a doubt. When Cooper doesn’t have a clean pocket the ball is going straight into the ground or being floated where it’s anyone’s ball.

Rush would have been great in the old West Coast style offenses. Intelligent, quick reads and throws a good intermediate ball

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I agree they were. Typically I think he's left a lot to be desired on his deep throws but he was money tonight. Can't take that from him.

Dak had great stats for the first 8 games. He looked like an MVP... what were his numbers from week 9 on? Look, Dak gets his job back, but I would LOVE to see what Cooper looks like if he got to play 10 games like Dak did back in his rookie year. I just see Cooper making good reads and getting rid of the ball. 2 games and how many times has he been sacked?

Everything. Score more points for one. With dak we have the #1 scoring offense in the nfl. With rush we have one of the worst.

 

[Tenkamenin]

Dak nails Lamb for the TD that Rush missed in Q1.
