Rush can do whatever #4 can do.
Biggest difference between the two is one makes $40,000,000.00 per year, the other one makes less than $1,000,000.00 per year.

Not so quick… thats a bit too low. I always criticize Dak for several things but overall package he is better than Rush, but just as Rush understands his limitations and plays within the system to minimize mistakes and get rid of the ball quick , thats what Dak has to do at first , once that starts flowing there will be opportunities in the game to make a long strike , scramble to get TD , etc.

Is being top 10 the holy grail of NFL QBs?
I want you to tell me what #4 does that most NFL QBs can't.

I have no idea. I haven’t scouted any other guys to tell you that. I really can’t tell you what any of those guys do better than the rest. Like Mahomes is a better thrower than anyone in the league. Lamar is more mobile than anyone in the league. Josh Allen has a canon.

But I honestly can’t tell you what Watson does better than Dak or Kirk Cousins or Derek Care. I can’t tell you what Burrow does better than Herbert.

To me it’s Mahomes and maybe Rodgers that are just better than everyone IMO.

So, what do you think Dak does better?
I another thread Steve Young seems to insinuate that Dak doesn't know even the fundamentals.

I think the same criticism can be said about Burrow. He and Dak are looking for a big play that just isn’t there. Rush just gets it out. When Dak did this people called it Dink and Dak lol. Now it’s great football.

Except get drafted, earn a starting job, get paid, not get cut twice (by two different teams), and put up more than 20 points in a game, apparently.

Dak is Dak, but the Cooper Rush love is a bit over the top this week. 20 points per game is below the league average over the last several years. In other words, you're not going to 20-16 and 20-17 your way to a successful season, no matter how good it feels today. Sooner or later, you're going to need more from your QB.

I'm glad the Cowboys won Sunday, but Rush drove the bus and the defense didn't put him in bad positions. He did his job and didn't make any big mistakes. Nice to see it.

OMG yes. Wait...............no they can't. We saw the same thing back when Kitna took over, but Jerry didn't learn a thing. The O is still set up for the long passing game, which isn't conducive to super bowls. Ball control O is the best for super bowls. Hey, chicks dig the long ball. So, it appears Jerry sets up this O purely for ratings, and doesn't care if it wins or not.

Dak can get the ball through windows that Cooper can not. That's about it.
