Dandy, first off I can’t argue against a fan with an avatar like that

secondly, it reminds me of Romo throwing for 6 touchdowns and 48 points against the Broncos but being picked off at the end.

should we look at the 1 INT or the 51 points given up by our defense?

having said that I sincerely hope that Hurts MVP season was an anomaly and he regresses
yeah she looks good in those jeans ! lol
as for the bronco game they had a bad defense too I think, or just 2 really good offenses having a good day. or both.

Hurts, I dont think he will regress this coming season.
Unlike others, I think he wants that SB ring, and the offense they run makes his job simple.

I'll wait until he's throwing into pass coverage before I crown him. I saw these kind of performances by Lamar Jackson back in 2019. Great passing stats. That year remains his best. Yeah, because anyone can throw against run defenses.
and that’s why people aren't elevating him to Mahomes and Burrow level just yet.

he’s got to maintain this high level for a few more seasons. next season will tell us a lot

whirlwind used to say it until he was laughed at. He still thinks it but can't post it.
Rush has a better football IQ than dak. Dak just has a better arm.
********. The only time Rush needed to use his football IQ was against Philthy and he failed miserably

The NFL is so year to year and all you can do is rely on what you thought you knew from the prior season. In 2021 the Eagles couldn't compete with Dallas. They made some moves to improve their team in 2022 and split their head to head matchup but had a magical run in the post season. This year the Eagles lost a bunch of starters as well as their coordinators and hope to replace their players with rookies. Meanwhile the Cowboys retained most of who they wanted and upgraded corner and receiver with proven players.

The Eagles made it to the Super Bowl last year and thus deserve to be penciled in as the stronger team at the moment. Whether that proves true we'll see at the end of the year, but inferior is laughable. If I was placing a bet I would take the over 9 wins :)

In between practice squad visits. He's going on his 7th season. Shouldn't he be fighting for a starting job somewhere by now?
why he's la ife time backup? He doesn't have the arm, he has the mental aspect but not the arm. Why does that hurt the dak guys to say Rush has a good mind for his position but not the arm for it? shrugs...

I don't know what the Dak guy say, because I'm a Dallas Cowboys guy.

With that said, I actually wanted Rush to take over the starting spot even when Dak got back from injury until I realized that he barely passes over 100 yards per outing. I knew he wouldn't be able to lead us over good teams with those less than pedestrian numbers. I like the guy and I realize he's limited.

Yeah, but the dak guys try to make fun of Rush to somehow make dak look better. Strange they can't even give Rush credit for playing well in his limited role.
It's like they can't take it if some other guy gets kudos for playing well in his limited role. Strange, that's fans who are player fans over the Cowboys.

They cannot tolerate anything that makes Dak look bad. Why do you think they spend so much time bashing Carson Wentz? Like they have to literally defend their guy by taking joy in the fact that Wentz never lived up to his draft status. Even though a large part of what affected his career was injury. But classy as ever the average Dak fan needs to behave like an Eagle fan and take such joy in it.

There in "crisis" mode and so far no extension.
Deep down they know their boy sucks but wait for a vindication that will never arrive as Prescott simply doesn't have the talent bar to get his groupies out of hot water.
I say let them enjoy inepto Prescott in his final year as a Cowboy and live and let live.
P.S. I wonder what they're going to do and go when Prescott hits the Zeke road?????
Probably join some HATE forum where they can post their favorite word on a daily basis...... :muttley:

Who are the "they" you speak of and how does Dak look bad by anything Rush has done? Dak is a max dollar starter and Rush is a good serviceable backup.

They both are Dallas Cowboys.

Who the hell would hold a Dallas Cowboys fan accountable for defending Dallas Cowboys players? Isn't that what real fans do??

I swear we have some of the dumbest fans in our fanbase. They get brainwashed by trolls posing as Cowboys fans.... then go at it against the REAL Cowboys fans supporting Cowboys players.

“They” would refer to the Dak fanatic who puts Dak over the Cowboys. And you just defined how Rush makes Dak look bad.

Again.... Dak is going on his 8th season. Rush is going on his 7th season.

Rush has been in the league pretty as long as Dak and lives his career bouncing back and forth on and off practice squads while Dak has been a starter since his first year.

No disrespect at all to Rush because I really do appreciate what he has done for us when he stepped in.....

But there's nothing he has ever done that could make Dak look bad.

Check this out..... Aaron Rodgers is 0-4 head to head vs Jimmy Garoppolo. So I guess Garoppolo makes Rodgers look bad huh....
