Some of yall thought Rush was a capable QB

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I'm not one of those who thought Rush was going to be great. But what I find funny is that some are using the fact that Rush sucked to make it seem like Dak didn't look bad this season. Some even go as far as saying that he was covering things up this season, when we had offensive woes through the season and he was taking too long in the pocket and would just take a sack during this season. Just because the backups are bad doesn't mean that the starting QB isn't.

this wasn't about that, a lot of people claiming that Rush is better than Dak and he is going to come in and we will have down field attack and no more dink and dunk and the team will rally around Rush, because the players like Rush more...

people want to deflect from that now.

and nobody was this bad. this was historically bad passing, top 10 worst NFL games. and now Rush owns two of the worst ever cowboys passing stats. 45 and then 76 against the rams. he did it in 7 games.

I see more posts about "RUSH SUCKS, even worse than DAK SUCKS, but don't let that diminish just how bad DAK sucks"

I kinda get that....because if ur going to have a non-NFL worthy garbage QB playing under center for you (which we most assuredly will no matter what), you'd rather it be paying that garbage qb making 900K, than half a billion.

In the end...does it rally matter? This team SUCKS, and will continue sucking, at least for the next 5 years....so who cares

Bullshiet....there are about 1800 Dak sucks posts. there are 4 Rush sucks.

Rush was historically bad. like this past performance was top 10 worst ever passing game in NFL HISTORY...

you may try to deflect but the fact is all you all Dak haters, just touted Rush, being better. he is 4-1 and he has done this and now we will see a downfield passing attack and team likes him and they will rally around him, blah blah blah. there were more posts about how Rush is better than Dak, than Rush sucks posts. now you want to deflect.

and yes. this team sucks. now you can see that its the team that Sucks and its not all on Dak. but you will never admit that.

Once again, hit dogs holler.

Ah...a dog beater I see.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

so are many other QBs....Rush is not only not a difference maker, he needs all of the above just to be below average.

You said the same thing about Dak...but in a protective way. "team game", remember?

 

[GINeric]

Cowboys receivers corps is as good as KC's.

Now answer this question.

Is the Cowboys offensive line, running game, play calling and play design, defensive line, overall defense, head coaching and GM all as good as KC??

I think we all know the answer to that, so that whole "receiving corp" thing is irrelevant.

yeah, keep deflecting... all you all just pumped up your boy Rush. watch how the team is just going to be so much better now.

and then he was 10x worse...

and its back to Dak..

Lol....you are doing the deflection. I was pointing out your obvious hypocrisy.

Since you mentioned it....show me "pumping up your boy rush". Come on tough guy...now is your chance. Should be easy to do.

So you get mad when people don't support dak...but you don't for coop. Hypocrite.

Those who understood that Rush was more of a passenger in those wins they kept bringing up than a driver are not surprised at how he played. Mind you his previous stints as a starter featured both Zeke and Pollard and the line playing pretty well to boot. Pollard is gone as is that version of Zeke and the line is in shambles. I was neither disappointed nor surprised at what I saw yesterday. It is what it is. It was mentioned several times earlier this season that Dak was masking a LOT of what was wrong with this team by running out of sacks, throwing into the tightest windows possible and so on. At least without him in the lineup we can see first hand all the things that need to be addressed this offseason. I still think the line will be okay with more time together. Dowdle is an okay back but he does not appear to be able to take over a game for any length of time. Zeke also ran okay but that fumble was unforgivable. I know sometimes the other guy gets a helmet right on the ball but damn. Not that it would have changed the outcome of the game any.. but it would have been nice to be ahead for at least a minute.

Well said.

I saw what I thought I'd see w/ Rush. Pretty much 100%. He is just way too limited, which makes him easy to take out of the game.

 

[kskboys]

Yeah with our receivers getting zero separation there was little chance a noodle arm like Rush was going to have success against a sticky defense. It was hard to watch.. but hopefully now people have seen how different the offense plays with Rush vs Dak. Not that I expect Dak haters to give him any credit.. but they won't be able to hide from all their proclamations that Rush was as good as Dak and that the offense wouldn't look any different with Rush under center. This team barely scraped out 150 yards of offense. Actually it was less than that if you count sack yardage. That's over 100 yards less than they put up against Detroit in Dak's worst game. In fact the Cowboys have never had less than 150 yards total offense in a game that Dak started since he came to Dallas. They have had a couple of sub-200 games.. including twice last season at San Fran and at Buffalo. But those were both in the high 190's. 146 is a whole nother level of futility.

I'm not a huge Dak fan(not a hater either by any means), but Rush is a low level backup. Even if one were to put DAK at the bottom of his normal rating, say in the 15-18 range, that is still not even close to Rush. Rush is a low level backup. Comparing him to any starting quality Qb is just beyond stupid.

 

[kskboys]

honestly mods just close this thread

Since this is most obviously a call out thread, I'm surprised it wasn't closed.

However, in running a board, one of the things to keep in mind is to let threads ride that have a lot of traffic. Good for the boards.

 

[kskboys]

I could have won 3 games with Amari Cooper, Lamb, and playoff talent at TE, OL RB, and Defense. The talent on this team has dropped so much that Dak matters. Just like it dropped after Parcells that Romo mattered.

Which is what happens when you overpay.

 

[Brax]

oh, there were quite a few hear proclaiming this offense is about to get better. @leeblair @PAPPYDOG @MountaineerCowboy all kept talking about the Rush 5-1 record..

but I get that people with no football knowledge would act and talk that way.

I voiced my opinion on Rush, he’s less than a jag and always has been. With that said the 6 points was pathetic but 3 points less than the last home game with a healthy top paid QB isn’t too bad, what we have to ask is are those 3 points more worth 58 million dollars a season worth it. MMs Texas toast offense gets worse by the week. Jerry will not admit he was wrong on anything so it’s going to get worse before it gets better, a lot worse as players start checking out. I have never seen such unprepared players on both sides of the ball.

 

[32BellyOption]

So we are to judge Rush by one bad game and throw out his other performances but yet continually make excuses for Dak’s bad performances? No Rush doesn’t have great arm strength and can’t carry a team on his back, he’s a short term backup. He’s a game manager. But much more is expected from Dak at his pay grade he should have been carrying this offense. But he can’t cause he isn’t that guy. Best case is we rebuild the line and running game and let Dak be the most expensive game manager in league history.

 

[Brax]

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?

9 points and 155 yards from the highest paid player in NFL history a few games ago and a PS reject puts up 6 points but one gets a pass the other gets ridiculed, the guy making 58 million more a season elevates the team 3 points and 110 yards, boy that was money well spent.

you are either stupid or have ADHD. the title of the thread is about Rush, but the Dak haters have been trying so hard to deflect with their "but Dak" comments.

go talk to your half brother @leeblair or your cousin @PAPPYDOG or your best friend @MountaineerCowboy . they love Rush like no other. they have build a monument to him in their rooms. Pappy has a poster on his ceiling.

and who says I am mad? why would I be mad? why is everything with you Dak haters is always so emotionally related? its always being mad, or angry or something to that effect ...what is wrong with you all?
you maybe somewhat emotional about Rush's performance and being let down and all that after praising him and praying to him. you certainly are coming across that way a little.
and seemingly you keep forgetting this is all a game. entertainment. being that you have made it a life and death thing for you, that's your issue.

R E L A X dude. I have told you that multiple times or you are going to pop a vein, but given you are obsessed with me and keep trying to get back at me having whooped you often, and you seemingly keep coming back for more

now you are "triggered"

what!!??

you are making this about spreadsheet math!!!!..... it has nothing to do with. 45 yards is never ever going to win you a game, not even close. you have less than zero chance.

now you want to compare scores and make a case for what reason? what's your purpose? hey, so you think Rush would have led the team down the field and beat the steelers in the last minute?

I am not saying Dak is all that. never have, but for you to do a point by point comparison and then do spreadsheet math to calculate something I have no idea what is just plain assinine.


and I agree with your last sentence. this is one of the least, worst prepared teams I have ever seen.

 

[Typhus]

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-

I thought the moon was composed of cheese.

I am one of those people but I didn't expect MM would run the same Dak-friendly goofball dink and dunk offense with Rush.
Guess I was wrong.
He even had him screaming HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...............OMG too funny just too funny!!!
