The offense looked better with Cooper Rush

[SlammedZero]

Just the fact that we are having this conversation/debate says everything you need to know about Dak. You think the Bengals/Bills/Ravens/Chiefs/Etc. boards have this kind of thread floating around?

Rush looked more accurate and had more zip on the ball. The game was over, but this whole offense is a mess, every single player. Nothing looks smooth, it’s just by luck / accident when a td happens

 

[Havic]

He looked better because the Falcons were protecting a two touchdown lead with time evaporating and played defense looser.

It's funny that when Dak almost led Dallas back against the Ravens people called it garbage time.

Rush looks good in garbage time against Atlanta and he's the second coming of Troy Aikman.

He had more zip on the ball and seemed to have a better understanding of where his wide receivers were. He was also more accurate but I agree about garbage time. Next week will be interesting if he starts

Is it not true? Dak has been horrid but so have the Oline, RBs, TEs, WRs outside CD, and the playcalling

I've been saying that for a while.....the exclusive Dak blame leaves some immunity at a long line of players.

Speaking of decisive, Greg Olen mentioned they were in “tempo” so Dak didn’t have to go through his progressions forcing him to be decisive. Which brings me back to Dak admitting to struggling with his post snap read against GB. However it’s not just the GB game where he’s struggled with it. This has been a long standing issue with Dak and his athleticism is declining and he can’t lean on that to compensate. Thats a recipe for regression for any QB who struggles with their reads as the athleticism isn’t just gonna comeback, because ya know Father Time catches us all.

Down the field throws. Throws on time. Throws hitting the receiver in stride. He even had the awareness to keep the ball on the option to pick up that first down

Rush> Dakota

Rush just does look in better command of the offense. Throws on time.
Dak has always had an issue with pulling the trigger a tick late.

Dak is physically better with the better arm, but Rush likely makes the better QB coach. A good one. Rush has maxed himself out as a QB. Good for him.

That would be the true litmus test.

Actually we already saw what he could do when he won those 4 in a row a couple years ago.

 

[NotForLong]

Can anyone see what his air yards per attempt/completion were? All I remember are little dink and dunk passes that somehow got excellent YAC. I’d be shocked if he threw more than 75 yards through the air today

Are you talking about Dak?

True, but I want to see him do it with this group.

 

[TheMightyVanHalen]

Are you really arguing that Cooper Rush and Dak accomplishing the same thing? And you think thats the flex?

What are their salaries? Lets compare that.

They both have garbage stats this year and they both have had good throws too. So, yes, on that point, I am.

That's the only difference between the two this year. Salaries. For the record, Dak isn't earning his contract, and I don't think he deserved it either. I'm no Dak apologist, WillieB, I just try to be a fair thinker.

Way better zip. I think he’s just a smarter football player than Dak.

 

[Nexx]

Dak has set the bar so low it makes Rush look good

 

[Nexx]

Where’s Ronnie at?

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

We're 3-5 or better with Rush if he started Week 1.

Jerry is paying Dak 60 Mil a year for a job Rush could do.

LOL

 

[CowboyStar88]

Cooper Rush sucks. The defense just didn't game plan him. Next week if Dak doesn't play-watch what happens....We'd be 0 and 8 now if Rush were the every week q.b.

You know who else sucks? Dak.

 

[bottleKids]

How

Don't even point out their numbers were almost identical today... they can't handle that.

 

[EST_1986]

The receivers were confused with the on target throws.

Leadership!!!

 

[Cowfan75Lives]

We're losing either way. I just can't stand seeing Dak any longer. I just want to see anyone else at this point.

WRs finally created separation ....CD with his shoulder
