Oh look another dak sucks thread….I guess the 15 page “qb purgatory” thread wasn’t enough attention for this guy
This question was posted in the other Dak criticism thread he made. Not sure why a whole new one was needed. But I guess we should be expected about 50 more " Dak sucks" threads by the time next Monday comes around.

He’s terrible and I don’t even care if someone doesn’t like dak. I’m a cowboys fan first but this guy is miserable.
I'm more neutral on Dak then most posters. I don't hate or like him. He is just a guy on the team for me, but boy this specific poster makes me hope Dak throws for 500 yards every game this playoff so he can start on his new rants about hating our long snapper or something else. He hates Dak Prescott way more then he likes the Cowboys.

When will it end.

Rush is not and never will be a starter in the NFL. Kudos for the 4 wins but the offense was dreadful and we won because the defense was unbelievable.
Let's see how many teams upgrade and give Rush a starting job in the offseason. NONE will be the answer. This myth that Rush is better or as good as Dak is ludicrous. Does Dak have his issues? Absolutely, but let's stop this talk about Rush being so great.

Y'all do realize that the way we play offense affects how good the defense is right? Ball control on offense keeps the defense off the field and lets them get rested. Dak Prescott having short drives and giving the ball away gives the defense no time to rest and puts them on the field longer.

So don't say oglh the defense was so much better for Rush it's not fair, y'all be missing the fact that the way Rush plays ball makes the defense better.

What's killing this team isn't the defense.
The defense is not playing anywhere near the level they played when Cooper Rush was starting. Not even close.

Our defense was single handedly the reason we were winning the first half of the season. Cooper Rush was along for the ride.

He is not a bad backup QB. But with an average defense and no running game right now Cooper Rush and his noodle arm will get us destroyed.

I posted 2 weeks before Dak came back that the defense will suffer because of the style of offense Dak wants to play.

Minnesota, Dolphins, Bengals, Ravens all yes

just another agenda driven post
Cousins played all 17 games

Dolphins went 1-4 without Tua

Burrow played all 17 games

Ravens went 3-3 without Jackson

So while I am not saying Rush is better than any starting QB, at least 2 of the teams you listed went 4-7 without their starter so I doubt Rush improves that outcome for either team.

So I guess the assumption is that the defenses for all of those teams wouldn't have been able to hold teams to under 20 points per game and 1 TD, like the Cowboys defense was able to do when Cooper Rush was playing. If Cooper Rush has so much to do with the 5-1 record and if he is the sole and main reason for the Cowboys going 4-1 this season, then we should see teams lining up to offer the Cowboys a trade for him to be their starter. Or the Cowboys should be able to just say "Hey he went 5-1" and be able to get some decent and high quality draft compensation for him,

What changed that affected the defense?

Oh, Dak came back and thinks he was Mahomes.

I don't have to say "I'm a Cowboys fan first".

Only Dak over Dallas fans have to point that out when posting.
I said that to take the legs out of the line that you use every time someone defends dak. That they root for dak over the cowboys. You just played directly into my hands lol

The benefit of Cooper is that he's not going to make so many mistakes. He plays within himself. Dak thinks he's Mahomes.
The benefit of Cooper is that the OC schemes based up Cooper being the QB. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the OC would scheme according to Dak's strengths? I mean that's what most OCs do.

How many times are you going to post this. It is like the 50,000 time the past month.
Dak over Dallas...how about Dak haters wanting him to look bad to thump their chest like you are doing.

come on, discuss football, not Dak.

There are no Dak over Dallas fans, another made up trolling statement.

If you say "Dak haters" I can say "Dak over Dallas".

Let's see how many front offices, during the offseason, think that Rush makes the defense better. My guess is he does not get a single opportunity to even compete for a starting QB job in the league.

Guy literally sucks. Offers nothing- never insightful. Never good
Sure ya did.
i did and you fell for it because you are a predictable mope who offers nothing insightful or knowledgeable ever. It’s just the same old tired and repeated lines. On top of that what kind of weirdo starts 3 or 4 multiple posts about the same player on a forum? It’s a bit weird.

Why don’t you show us on the doll where dak touched you

If those teams defenses average giving up around 17 PPG during the stretch the answer is maybe / Yes to all.
Dak's performance against the Giants was basically the exact same performance by Cooper Rush. They also limited the offense with Rush, meaning they were not in year 7 catering to Dak.
