This is a strawman argument for sure. No one wanted Rush.. some wanted Lance. Most want to move on. Look we don't want Dak at 60m for the next 4 years. Rush really has nothing to do with it. He's just a loser collecting a check for the next year until he's a car salesman in Dallas next year.

I'm not gonna bash Cooper. He's the backup QB for a reason. Expecting anything more than what we got today was foolish. He looked decent a few years ago with a great supporting cast - this time around he's got a bottom 10 OL, bottom 10 receiving corps, and the absolute worst RB room in the NFL behind him. DISASTER is what we should expect, and that's exactly what we got today.

Yes it is. We had quite a few F games this season.
....and to think Jerry and some on this board has blind view of Cooper's play. Cooper didn't deserve that, I'm sorry he let them down. It was unfair, unrealistic, and improbable.....but it was obvious. Big Mike is a QB killer.

Before tonight rush was 5-1...pretty good back and fully capable....basing opinions on his prior play is fully justified
4 of those wins the teams weren't playing good at the time they played us. Our D was playing great too! He was averaging like what, 100 yards a game? But you knew that. :)

Well, you just have to be careful who you all put together in the group that thinks that Rush is the answer. There are several people who were not high on Dak but also didn't think that Rush was the answer. Their argument was more along the line that they didn't think the drop off from Dak to Rush was so big that they would rather use him as a stopgap instead of sign Dak to an insane amount of money. This game doesn't exactly prove that the gap between Dak and Rush was that great, but me myself I think Dak abilities are less than what they were a year ago. He looks old and slow to me, and I don't expect him to look like he did in his heyday once he recovers from his hamstring injury. You expect him to not look slow next year once he recovers from his hamstring tare? Like I said, I think we need to start drafting at QB, not just for starting but also for backup.

A backup job is to go 500 for a stretch - he had done that and can do that

Mike called another terrible game. I've never seen so many passes to the los before. Everything is short with little chance for ya. Rush isn't blameless but dam the play caller has got to help out.

He's a pretty decent bus driver. Problem is the last time he played, that bus was a Greyhound, and this one is actually a 75 stretch Pinto.

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.

Glad I wasn't one, I mean he's performed admirably in the past but this season has been over. It's mind boggling that they didn't put Lance under center. At the very least we will be able to tell if Jerruh wasted this year's 4th round pick. As far as that goes get Mingo in there as well! It could be back to back 4th's that we tossed in the trash but let's at least find out.

He had a great defense. Until he played the Eagles. And then we found out who he really was. And then we found out even more today. he only averaged 17 points a game in those five games.
With some of those points coming from defensive scores.

..I cerntainly thought he was better than this.

He signed himself off the squad. I bet Lance plays next week.

Umm. Are you seriously defending Cooper’s play?

This was one of the worst Cowboy QB performances in recent memory.

I feel like I’m on another planet either now with you Rush fanatics.


Oh …. Wait …. Throwing you a lifeline here. Maybe even a Lifeson-line.

Are you talking about one of the top ten classic rock bands of all time?

Please tell me that’s it and you’re not part of the leeblair cult of weirdness Cooper fanatics.

In that case, hell yeah!
Are you on drugs??? Nothing I posted mention jack expletive about Rush playing good at all. How you even came to that conclusion is mind blowing smh
