Ok here you go
Dak has a higher completion percentage ( more accurate)
Dak averages more yards per game ( more productive)
Dak averages more TDs per game ( better in red zone)
The Cowboys average 150 yards total offense and 10 points more per game when Dak is in versus cooper rush. ( better over all)
There is a lot more .
Those ole fantasy and Madden stats. Where would the Dak homers be without them. Just like Dak can’t read a defense, you’ll never see what I see.

yeah, our certain types of quarterbacks don’t shrink against good defenses and flop in the playoffs

so much ignorance and preferences for success……..nice try though

Yeah. Rush has those skins on the wall.

Oh wait, Giants and Bengals are truly elite Ds!

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.
Cooper runs gingerly.

Desperately comparing stats of a QB that has 86 career games with one that has 3 career games....ouch.

Nope. This material is 100% spot on and undeniably correct. That's why you hate it, because you can't dispute it.
Sorry but whilst he is saying the words "you can't blame Dak"... he is also saying terrible ball and terrible read..

So because a QB converted a 3rd and long on the first drive.. it isn't his fault he throws a terrible INT on the 2nd?!!

Sorry but make no sense other than to highlight that KM runs a horrible offence but Dak is also pathetic.

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

The sample size for Rush is small. And the more film he has the more DC’s will dissect his game. Moving forward I think it will only get more difficult for Rush. I’m excited to see how he handles it and responds.

Why should he get his job back? because he conned the old man out of too much money?

He was horrible in the first week.. horrible for most of last season.. missed the season before that with injury..

Dude is bad. At least Rush isn't so egotistical that he audibles out of the run every play.

95% of the people on this board wanted Rush out of the NFL during pre-season, now he is better than Dak? I'm not the biggest Dak fan by any means but he is a far better QB.

I wouldn't argue on that basis. First off, going by the date it looks like that was the game vs Tampa last season.

That was far from a normal game script.

The question is how often does this happen? You're assuming because he audibled out of the run vs a team who had a dominant run defense, while he was simultaneously out playing Tom Brady, that he does that all the time.

Maybe he does, but if that's all you have we don't know that to be fact.

Secondly since it's rare to find this type of information I am forced to looked towards other indicators.

His relationship with Zeke for example. If he was constantly taking the ball out of Zekes hands I would not expect them not to be bffs.

The truth is we don't know. If it was happening though I would absolutely expect the coaches to correct it. ESPECIALLY after the offense fell apart last season.

The truth is you don’t know, but blame Moore and then say they changed the game plan for Rush, to absolve Dak.
