The 4th down throw was behind Brown

[TheMarathonContinues]

Dude go outside and get some air. You need a break from the internet.

Stanning for Zeke and Dak all day must be tiring.

Imagine a Cowboy fan…..defending Cowboy players…against “alleged” Cowboy fans and being called out on it lol. Smh.

 

[nate dizzle]

So...basically the fans get all over Dak when he plays like a backup. Got it.

 

[Runwildboys]

Yup.

I just found it incredibly telling how Romo twisted and contorted to make it sound like a great throw.

He has an agenda.

Really? What agenda does Romo have? You think he's trying to get his job back?

 

[USArmyVet]

What was arguably the biggest play in the game was really a late throw across the middle that Noah reached back and snatched out of the air.. Then the TD was high and outside and Brown had to climb the ladder a bit to go get it. Yet people have been downright giddy about how Rush "hit receivers in stride" and all that thinly veiled shots at Dak noise. If Dak makes that same throw to Brown all we would have heard was how if he woulda led him he would have had a chance to run after the catch. In reality throwing it behind was absolute the right ball placement because if he leads him Noah probably gets blown up by the safety and maybe even gets the ball dislodged and Cincy has the ball at our 40 yard line. It's probably a very different ballgame then.

The point of this is that you people talkin bout how well Rush threw the ball must have been getting a beer on the 5-6 near INTs he tossed. And why do I mention near INTs? Because people were beside themselves when Dak had a similar total of near misses in a game last season. And if I'm not mistaken we won that game too. This is not to disparage the game Rush had.. He had a nice game as a backup. He managed the game and didn't LOSE it. And made 5-6 throws when he absolutely had to in order to win it. I call that "Eli Manninging." I hope he does it 4-5 more times..

Funny the Rush to defend Dak because Cooper came in and won the game and people are now calling out Dak's play the last 6+ years. Interesting that for some it's more important to defend Dak than celebrate Cooper and a Dallas victory. Deep down they know Dak isn't the QB this team needs to succeed but alas they deflect.

 

[Brax]

You missed the entire point of his thread.

No I didn’t you did, it’s a poor Dak reply with a back handed praise of Rush to prop Dak. I don’t think and most don’t think Rush is a nfl starter but his performance was better than Daks with the same group that’s what’s disturbing and from a PS reject QB. I give Dak all the kudos for good games but that this conversation is going on shows the short comings of Dak. One would think it was Tad defending his brother. The point of the post is See Dak isn’t bad , and he missed by a mile by the comparison to a PS QB.

 

[USArmyVet]

Yeah that was kinda part of my overarching point. These idiots do it ALL THE TIME with Dak. The guy completed 68% of his passes last season but these idiots still complain that he "not accurate." I mean can you imagine if he were actually accurate? He'd complete 85-90% of his passes!

When you start referring to people as idiots all you do is weaken your case and show the Dak bias your posts are generated from.

Oh, and yes Dak had a 68.8% regulare season completion percentage in 2021.....and in the playoff loss to SF he had a 53.5% completion percentage....but hey, it's all about the regular season.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Yeah I agree with all of this. Rush got the job done, but he wasn’t out there making tons of plays and throwing darts. Could have easily had 2-3 picks on plays that hit Bengal players in the hands. He got the job done though, and I hope he keeps doing that. That’s what a backup needs to do.

defense got the job done.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

1. Dak routinely throws behind receivers. It’s his calling card. I like Dak ok as a QB but that doesn’t change the facts. Dak is worse at this than Rush by a mile based on what we have seen so far.

2. Dak is paid $40M per year. Rush is paid 1/40 of that. I expect better than “about even” or slightly better than Rush.

3. Rush’s vision was better this past week than Dak’s was in game 1. Similar circumstances.

4. Dak is in a funk and has been since the second half of last year. Moore isn’t helping him out but Sak is killing drives with poor performance.

5. Yes Rush could have easily had several picks. The fact that he didn’t get picked really doesn’t change the fact that they were bad throws.

I agree with point #4....since Denver game, he has not been good.

He's just mad that someone other than Dak was able to beat the defending AFC champs. So he's twisting it around and bashing Rush for the mistakes he made.

I agree that Rush made quite a few mistakes in the game. But after Dak crapped the bed during the last series of the playoff game, would anyone in their right mind have expected him to orchestrate the game winning drive against Cincy? Nope. I think the end of the SF game destroyed his confidence and you could see it in his performance against TB last week.

Rush was just trying to throw the ball how our receivers are used to getting it from Dak

 

[Section446]

He threw one behind someone? Dak does that 20-30 times a game.

You're coming off as thirsty.

 

[Tarheelcowboy]

So the argument / Point of this thread is the cowboys have started (2) back-up qb's this season?
One won a game and the other lost a game.
one making base contract (I'm guessing)
One making (140,000,000) (A lot of money for a back-up at best.)
One has had 5 years to become better at the starting position in game situations .
and the other has only had 2 games as a starter.
Very interesting arguments I guess.

And no dude I didn't miss the point of the thread.

And why are people bringing Romo into this conversation ?
Neither of the (2) back up's come close to the QB he was !
Have a wonderful day !

 

[glimmerman]

Yeah but sure if he expected him to run out but turned inside. But Brown adjusted and saved the drive and maybe the game.

 

[USArmyVet]

Imagine a Cowboy fan…..defending Cowboy players…against “alleged” Cowboy fans and being called out on it lol. Smh.

Imagine an alleged Cowboy fan slamming a Cowboys QB simply to defend another Cowboys QB....fixed it for you.

I at first thought the TD was errant.....but that is a case of how a QB can throw open. You are complaining because high and wide? Well..WAY better than low and behind in that situation.

That TD catch is EXACTLY the right throw to the right guy and I CANNOT believe it took this long to do it. '
'
I think you are nit picking here. Rush played quite well for "noodle arm" back up. You are trying to tear Rush down to keep Dak propped up. That doesn't seem like something you'd do.

You beat me to it. Not sure why Ronnie is doing this. He seems a pretty fair level guy. Odd.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

yeah...I sure don;t get why Ronnie will bend over backwards defending Zeke...and then do this. Bad day maybe.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

No. He didn't. There were games where he made no mistakes. There were games where he made one mistake. There were games where he made five mistakes, maybe even six. No matter the number of mistakes, they were often magnified by a defense that could rarely hold a lead. The same has held true for Dak. It's too bad that now that we might have that kind of defense, we don't appear to have the kind of offense that can build a good lead. We did against Cincy, but then the offense went dormant for too long, expecting too much of the D.

People seem to forget ...our defense made him go back out several times...but they only remember that last desperation pass. Against Denver/manning for example. Or the FG hold he shouldn't have been holding for?

Rush isnt a starter and made identical throws that Dak makes. The difference with the almost INTs is that Rush threw ball under pressure and Dak would of taken the sack. Even Phil Simms said there isnt much drop off between Rush and Dak but I knew that already . Yeah Dak is better but when you consider what he is getting paid he doesnt look worth it. Dak is KIrk Cousins 2.0.

We have 1 backup the starter is injured
