Some of yall thought Rush was a capable QB

[CowboysFaninHouston]

And I have told you many times...you don't effect people like your wee brain thinks you do. You have a serious medical issue there.

I asked you a simple thing....you can't do it so you wrote paragraphs of deflection.

sure thing.

triggered are we?

 

[Brax]

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.

No no I’m saying that this team is bad all around 45 yards or 155 with 2 int’s 6 points 9 points neither is winning many games. Rush sucks Dak has sucked in his starts. MM is a joke and Jerry is running a circus

 

[KJJ]

Rush is capable if he has a real good team around him and a game doesn’t get thrown on him. Kept telling everyone who kept pumping up Rush that this team isn’t close to the team he had in 2022.

 

[Trajan]

I can't understand why Lance isn't starting. Give him some reps. At least he has legs and imo a better arm. At least might be more fun to watch.

Two possibilities I think.

1. He is really just bad. Jerry wasted a 4th on him, and playing him will demonstrate just how poorly Jerry is doing in personnel management.

2. With a far better team, Rush did a solid job subbing for Dak before. Jerry and Stephan can’t admit that the whole team is dramatically worse than before, since they select players and he is the best GM ever, so assumed the same would happen when he was plugged in. Much like the current Zeke situation, which also makes zero sense. Zeke was cut from here, but somehow they think he is 2016 Zeke. Jerry will keep playing Rush just to prove he knows what he is doing, which he really doesn’t. It is a double whammy if Rush and Lance both are really poor players, since the GM makes the choices.

its a circus. anyone thinking this is a kind of team with enough talent to win, they are not a very talented team and no one player can lift this team to anything. Even Mahomes wouldn't succeed with this team. will he have one more win? yes. but not enough to be competitive

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.

If you look closely at Rush's previous games this performance wasn't really all that different for him. Against the Rams two years ago he won a game with 76 yards passing. Against Cincy he threw like 5 or 6 balls into the hands of DBs who fortunately for him dropped them. People attempting to paint this game as some sort of outlier for Rush simply have not been paying attention. Our receivers not getting separation made the offense look bad even with Dak at the helm but Dak's arm strength and accuracy at least allowed us to make an occasional play even against tight coverage. Rush's floaters simply did not provide that.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

You're such a hypocrite!
You have been screaming as loud as anyone about how bad Dak has been.
Now you want to jump on the hate wagon for Cooper Rush.
All you really want to do is be in the popular opinion majority.
You're such a baby.

hypocrite?

I have been saying this team is bad. I have equally blamed everyone.
but you have been pumping Rush like nobody's business as if you are his pimp. now you are making excuses left and right and pointing fingers at everyone and excusing Rush for his total incompetence.
you were told, by many including me on many occasions. that Rush is a bad QB.

I have always always said Rush is not a good QB, never ever have I said he is anything but a below average QB. yet here we are you are so desparately trying to turn the tables and fail at it.

and you by far are the biggest hypocrite and baby on this board. you have yet to admit Rush sucks....you keep blaming everybody else. you have yet to admit, that you were wrong and that Rush is not a good QB.

 

[KJJ]

I can't understand why Lance isn't starting. Give him some reps. At least he has legs and imo a better arm. At least might be more fun to watch.

He’s not starting because McCarthy is trying to save his job. Lance is the 3rd QB for a reason. The only thing he does well is run. However, I would rather see him than Rush. Maybe we will once we’re officially eliminated or Rush continues to suck.

You know nothing about what makes a quarterback successful. You think if a guy can't throw the ball seventy yards he can't play quarterback.
All I said was that the Cowboys had a chance with Rush, and he IS better than Dak.
I never said he was great.
But he did force the Eagles offense to drive the ball the length of the field most of the time. He did enough to take pressure off of the defense, and they responded by playing better.
It makes a difference when the opposing team doesn't get the momentum changing interceptions and a short field.
Yes,he fumbled, and that was bad. But he didn't let the Eagles secondary celebrate interceptions and grab the momentum.
Intangibles. You should learn that word and study what it means.

Not sifting through 17 pages, so I’m sure it’s been said already, but I’ll do it anyway…

Rush’s performance is testimony to how much worse this roster is than it was two years ago.

That’s actually a natural cause, but Jerry and his kid think they can beat the system….all while other teams rebuild properly and lap us.

MM is still trying to be in the NFL next year..thats it, i dont think this will work..his only chance with what can play is the wildcat with Lance all game....

100% those teams also had major holes but this team IS a major hole...

 

[Loso86]

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-

Alot of them did

 

[CowboyFrog]

Alot of them did

The good news is hoping the passing game goes better for Rush this week is not a super tall wish....."Lets see if we can break the 50 yard mark"

LOL. a guy who has absolute zero understanding of football, Z E RO ZERO who once declared that Kellen Moore is a HOF type QB (worse arm than Rush) and said Tashard Choice is better than Emmitt smith if not as good is now saying, I don't understand football. this is just way too funny and I couldn't make this stuff up in my wildest dreams. thank you. appreciate the hilarious comment and the laughter.

all you said was that Dallas has a chance!!? is that what you said? well, guess what son, If I played QB for the cowboys they would have a chance to win too. right? if you take a guy off the street and hand him the football, the cowboys would have a chance....wow. you are not nostradamus.

and I said cowboys have no chance with Rush against the eagles and guess what....I was right. 45 yards passing is ZERO chance of winning a game. knowing this team, I knew with Rush we have less than zero chance of winning the game. it was obvious to anyone who has a 0.1% understanding of football.

btw, was it Rush who forced them to drive the length of the field or was it our great punter who averaged 50 Y/P? given that, if you are on your own 30 and punt the ball 50 yards , the other team starts at their own 20!!!
wow, this was by far the stupidest defense you tried to come up with...your moral victory is he forced eagles to drive length of the field!!!! that's a win for you....

like you said, don't forget he also fumbled multiple times, including in our own end of the field....so then there is that, which just rips apart your silly excuse and defense of Rush. and if you don't think fumbles are as bad as interceptions (which happen further up field btw), then you really know a lot less football than I gave you credit and you started at zero.

eagles held him to 45 yards. who do you think is celebrating!!! you just can't be this stubbord and this stupid....

what intangibles? Rush has zero intangibles...... he is an ultimate school bus driver, who needs everything to be perfect around him so he can just raise his game to be below average.

btw, I am loving this. you are squirming. getting sillier by the post and you are all over the place.

why don't you just quit while you are behind. you have to learn if you are in quick sand, you don't keep wiggling, because you will sink further.

 

[G2]

MM is still trying to be in the NFL next year..thats it, i dont think this will work..his only chance with what can play is the wildcat with Lance all game....

Or, the college set play action or option read. That to me is just a no-brainer.

 

[IceStar-D7]

How many points have he ever scored as a q.b...? Rush IMHO at least in Dallas. Shouldn't or wouldn't be in the NFL on any other team but Dallas

its not your opinion its what happened, Dallas flat out released him to clear waiver AFTER he won those games...guess how many other teams contacted him to come to camp.....

He wasn't great in those performances either.
