Some of yall thought Rush was a capable QB

[charron]

I think a lot of the play calling was a downstream result of Rush’s noodle arm. Dude can’t consistently make NFL throws that even the most basically competent NFL QB has to be able to make, backup or starter. Personally, I think he’s the worst primary backup in the league.

Same terrible play calling that was happening under Dak. Has nothing to do with rushes arm as his previous history proves he is much better than what we saw. Mike's offense regardless of QB has been get the ball out quick, short, using mostly curl or stop type routes. He's certainly not the strongest arm in the league but he's proven capable of winning games. There is a reason the offense really struggled to start last year and in every game this year and it has everything to do with the offense Mike is forcing them to use.

Sure we need to fix those. But that wouldn't fix the problem of a Quarterback sitting in the backfield too long and then just taking a sack. We at the same stage with Dak that we were with Romo where people didn't think he could last another season. Romo was more another hit will take him out; Dak is more while he seems to be at the stage of being injury prone, it is more that he is too slow to react and move now. We have a lot of holes, including at QB.

No doubting you.....Example: Put Bryce Young on Houston, and CJ Stroud on Carolina......i guarantee Bryce Young begins to look better than he has, and CJ Stroud doesn't look as good as he has been.

Get it out, bro.

I know you're hurting cause you don't get to watch Dakky poo take another snap this season.

omg, your obsession with Dak.... we know you hate him, but geez dude. get a hold of yourself a little. embarassing.
and defelcting like you are trying to do, doesn't make Rush's performance which you touted so incessantly for months now any better.

you tied your anchor to Rush. claimed you want him. claimed he was better...

now he pooed his pants, with some of it on your shoes and you are trying to deflect.

so what happened to your man crush and your love devotion to Rush? you are giving up? that easily?

Your reading comprehension is lacking. I said we have three thrash quarterbacks. Ignore the fact that the biggest loss of the season, the biggest loss of the the Jerry Jones era, didn't happen with Rush being the starting quarterback. Ignore the fact that in that game and a game before that, that that quarterback only managed to produce 6 points for the Cowboys with the team being into the 3rd quarter of each game. So it doesn't really matter which quarterback you had out there yesterday, none of them would've been good enough to have more than 6 points with us being in the 3rd quarter. I've been one who said since the beginning of the season that Dak will have a tougher year this year with a bad running game, a worse offensive line, and hurt defense. I'm not denying that this team has holes. I am just pointing out that we also have a hole at Quarterback. There have been games this season, were there was a pass rush, but it wasn't a 2011 type break down of the line where the quarterback had a bit of time to get rid of the ball, but instead we saw that the quarterback is slow both in mobility and reaction and takes the sack. In all probability he will be even slower next year coming off an injury that is known to slow down players.

so pointing to somebody else having played bad, make Rush's performance any better. its not a ranked them against each other scale of things.

what you have tried to do is deflect from the crap we saw yesterday.

and we have never ever seen a high level of performance from Rush. but I can point to multiple high level of performance from Dak.

and btw, this is not an endorsement of Dak so don't even try to go there.

 

[OmerV]

This has nothing to do with Dak

Has nothing to do with Daks contract

Nothing to do with Dak being good or not

But there was a large segment in here that thought Cooper Rush was a capable nfl qb. Please stop. He’s horrendous. His arm talent grades out as an F-

Rush is not, and never has been, who a team would want as a starter, but his history has been as a capable backup. Obviously that's not what we saw yesterday, but yesterday isn't what we have seen from him before

Get it out, bro.

Nah…

The offense stinks, but Rush’s noodle arm limits the play calling even for this archaic system. Rush is a garbage backup QB, absolutely horrible.

 

[leeblair]

I don't believe for one second that Rush is as bad as he played yesterday.
I do believe someone wanted us to think that.
But we've all seen Rush play better and the Cowboys win when they felt there was still hope for the season.
The playcalling was terrible.
But just like when Dak was injured before his first extension, it's as if someone wants fans to believe that the sky is falling without Dak.
Which would make sense now that Jerry mortgaged the team's future with that ridiculous contract he gave him.
I think someone put on a show for the fans to see yesterday.

Yep. I said it last night, after Rush's little run he had in 2022, he still got zero looks for teams looking for a starter. In a league where front offices are desperate to find a QB. But they all saw the tape and saw that run where he was 4-1 had nothing to do with him winning the games. It was all defense. They gave up I believe less than 17pts in every single one of his wins. You could roll out a corpse to succeed in that climate. The first game he was actually asked to score some points was the Philly game, where he got undressed and exposed as the garbage QB he is. Plays Philly again and same result yesterday.

Rush is a career backup for a reason.

It didn't limit him before. I get it you hate the guy, but you are 100% wrong and i'm ok with that.

 

[SwagSurfer]

If you guys believe what you saw was the best the Cowboys could do with Rush there's no hope for you.
NO NFL team is that bad
The play calling was set up to fail.
It's as if they wanted fans to believe that without Dak it's hopeless.
But we have seen Rush be a lot better when the Cowboys wanted him to be.

It was the exact same plays we've seen all year, though. We've been calling out the playcalling all year but when the savior, Rush masters up a measly 45 yards now you want to jump on the playcalling bandwagon?

Simple logic will tell you that the backup isn't as good as the starter, right? So if your starter sucks arse then your backup sucks even more. Comprende?

 

[CarolinaFathead]

It didn’t “limit” him before because we had an effective running game that opposing defenses had to respect, which, as a result, consistently opened up wide passing lanes for Rush to throw. However, even then, anyone watching could see his noodle arm was barely passable, if that even, for an NFL QB.

Plus, he also had a turnover producing defense to help him out.

Yesterday he had none of that and you saw how pathetically limited he is. That performance is in the running for an all-time pathetic result for an NFL QB. He is absolutely the worst back up in the league MAINLY because of his noodle arm.

 

[kskboys]

You’re an outright liar and Dak groupie. Never saw you post before and know these things based off this one post because there is no meaningful percentage of Boys fans that said this BS you’re claiming to make this post. Flip outta here

There were quite a few of them. Mostly they were touting his 5-1 record and completely ignoring his lollipop arm.

 

[kskboys]

Team is cooked. Best case we get an elite WR with our top 10 pick, a modern OC, and an RB in round 2/3 and let Dak get back to MVP conversation next year.

What? You watched the games and you think a WR is the answer?

Man, some of the craziest inane crapp gets posted on here.

Dude…

Such a lollipop arm.

I don’t care how smart you are or effective you are at reading defenses, the first and foremost thing an NFL QB needs to be able to do, starter or backup, is consistently make NFL throws. Rush can’t do it. The 5-1 record was fool’s gold with teams that could run the ball effectively and produce turnovers on defense. Rush really shouldn’t even be in the league imo, but he also fleeced Jerry for money. Granted, in the scheme of things it’s not a huge deal. Most team’s don’t have a Nick Foles in the bench to carry a talented roster to the dream land, but Rush is not even an average back up skill-wise, let alone a Nick Foles or Andy Dalton-level back up. He’s really, really bad.

Correction: We saw Rush be a lot better when the Cowboys team around him was a lot better.

"setting him up to fail" by the coaches is absolutely ridiculous, tinfoil hat level thinking. The more this team loses the more likely coaches lose their jobs. Come on now.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Either you're playing dumb or you're not very bright.

Probably the 2nd one.

Sorry that it bothered you I either missed it or don't know which thread he is referring too.

I like to insure we are on the same page rather assuming something. Mkay?
