The whole Cooper Rush thing is put to bed

[Qcard]

It's amazing how terrified Dak fans are of Cooper Rush.
They don't realize that they need to fear Dak more than Rush. Dak is the one who will make or break himself.
Rush provided solid quarterback play while he was in there, but how good he could be, we still don't know.
So Dak fans clamor around every win and can't wait to proclaim how great he played, and are terrified that someone will dispute them.
But real Cowboys fans just want results. We don't care who the quarterback is as long as he earns his spot and produces.
So far Dak hasn't earned his spot. But he has had some good games. But he’s also cost the Cowboys games- like he almost did again this week.
The Cowboys defense gave up 27 points to the Eagles and got four turnovers to help the offense, making the Eagles defense play longer and from a shorter field.
Dak gave the Eagles seven points.
So the Cowboys won by six, against an Eagles team that was playing without their starting quarterback, forcing them to use a different offensive scheme that they weren't accustomed to.
So, its on to the next game, and then the next.

We know....Cooper Rush had 3 INTs vs the same Eagles

Dak Haters live in alternate realty

This scrub without Amari. ced, jarwin and others with rookie LT and some OL issues in pass blocking now has this team in B2B double digit win seasons and the playoffs, add in they just set record for 8 straight game with 25+ points or more and this season that 40 they scored was the most this season on that vaunted eagles' defense after starting 10-0 behind..

say what you want Cooper could not have done that , hes was admirable in him holding down the fort with a strong run game and ridiculous D but we KNEW at soem point if that D let up if the OL faltered and IF KM went pass happy,

Dak would have to be our QB,.. it happened and dak took that early season bottom 10 offense and its now top 5 in scoring. Yes more IHTs this year,. less fumbles but half those INTs were on his WRs, OL, and other factors 2 were NO obvious PI calls like Gilmore running into Gallup and Gallup falls, thats on Dak? nope .i like this version of Dak and will support him..no not dak stan it was hard to accept the dude being huge Romo fan but he may not be elite nor perfect but hes for sure top 10 franchise qb and those dont grow on trees.

saw few FB posts SMH saying this needs to be blown up cut dak, fire our coaches and start over..umm huh? they dont play attention to caps, contracts and league wide play..B2B double digit wins and payoff births, blow it up we suck because we are not elite or dominant enough.

 

[CowboyRoy]

exactly, he is so bad, that cowboys are the leading scoring team in the league with Dak. I mean its that bad. imagine if he could read a defense and complete 30 yard passes and not have 69% completion rate. we would be so much better.

Might win the SB

We know....Cooper Rush had 3 INTs vs the same Eagles

Dak Haters live in alternate realty

Dak gave up a pick 6 against an Eagles defense that was having to play longer and not able to be as aggressive because they had a backup quarterback turning the ball over.
Dak gave up more points by himself than the Cowboys won by. And lets not forget, the Cowboys would be tied for first except Dak lost to the Packers and the Jaguars in games that he helped them win

 

[BoysForLife]

Exactly. We have very stupid people picking a fight over nothing, then acting like hero saviors.

But...this is what people do to get by. Very strange weirdos but...well...it's humans being human.

 

[BoysForLife]

tom brady. who else? you are talking about the goat. why do people complain when Dak is not as good as the goat?

Because his fans post on here daily as if dak never makes a mistake

Every int, every bad play, every loss can be laid at the feet of Kellen Moore, or incompetent wr's, or poor pass blocking etc

If nothing is ever his fault and he is incapable of making mistakes then he should be the goat

You guys set the standard for how dak is to be evaluated. We're just assessing him by the standard you set

 

[CowboyoWales]

Minshew is a damn STARTER!!! RIGHT now!!!

Such a sad thread if you still have to refer to Rush. It looks as if you're too sensitive to troll the Dak-haters.

I think most here are in the middle. thinking Dak is somewhere between 8-12 range, which is a fair argument.

but there are extremes on both sides of this argument, some who over analyze every single throw and even when he makes a play, they blame it on the defense or WR making something spactacular happen. they act as if he has never ever never made a play. every single incompletion is analyzed for pages. and then there are those who give him too much credit and want to make him into elite and blame everybody else for bad things he does.

and no, not every bad play or interception is his fault, neither is he absolved from it. and yes, I am in the camp that think Moore leaves a lot to be desired. from the day he was hired, I argued we have to live with growing pains. No NFL OC, DC or coach every just steps in and excels. you earn you stripes. and moore can look like a genuis in one series and a total baffoon the next. that's story of a young OC, earning his stripes. he has improved from year 1, my concern with him is he is still making some of the same mistakes.

and your last statement says is it all/"you guys"....and "we'er"...so you are part of the extreme crowd that Dak can do no right no matter what.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Also the Defense and the entire team play better and smarter for Cooper Rush!!

Cooper Rush leadership makes the Defense play for blowouts so Cooper can start 4th QTR and get Wins!!

well, the reality is there is a wave, signal of some kind that eminates from Rush's brain and when he plays, it just covers the entire cowboys team and it impacts the defensive players and they become smarter and better. its like an unreal hypnotism of some kind, the guy is so smart that he could have a PhD if he didn't choose to play football, he is destined to be an NFL coach and a HOF coach, that's how smart he is..... and he is so dang lovable, the defense just plays so much harder for him, because they like him so much and they don't like Dak so they play bad.........its called the "Rush Effect"....google it. you will see.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I don't know, you tell me since you said it and I didn't?

I said it. or did you not read my post!!! Dak is better than Rush in almost all statistical categories. Dak is more talented. Dak is better skilled. the offense, which both lead is better with Dak.

now prove me wrong..............

 

[Xeven]

Dak is still a gamer. Whoever doesn't admit that just doesn't want to.

I am starting to think it is Kellen killing Dakwhen Dak is off. Kellen play design lack depth in passing and run. It’s one level stuff. The trick plays are stupid and clumsy too.

They have to latch on to something to spew hate. So here we go with the Minshat played just as good, etc. etc. for the week. The pick 6 was a bad throw by Dak but he recovered well and played lights out the rest of the way. He needs to keep being aggressive because the team is averaging 40 points per game the last few weeks. We will see some ints with this play style, so be prepared….

Are you arguing with me or yourself? I didn't say Rush was better than Dak? Did you even read what I wrote?

"Same here. I don't think Rush is better than Dak, but again, Rush sets the bar low. Dak played great yesterday for the most part, but people are kidding themselves if they think we win that game or score 40 points without the 4 turnovers from the defense"

 

[erod]

For all of the people calling for Cooper Rush to get back in. That's dead!!! Cooper Rush isn't capable of playing the type of game Dak played today. He's a CAREER BACKUP FOR A REASON!!!

Dak is by far our best quarterback. Is he elite??? Absolutely not. Is he very good??? Absolutely!!! Dak led in a win over the best defense in football ON TOP of having to deal with more damn penalties.

So ladies and gentlemen.... that whole "put Rush back in" crap is put to bed and dead as a door nail.

To my real fans... enjoy the win this week and it's back to business next weekend.

To all those cowardly haters.... see ya after our next loss because we know you weaklings will hide all week ESPECIALLY after this performance by the offense.

If Tyler Biadasz doesn't magically recover Dak's late fumble, we lose to Gardner Minshew.

Did you enjoy Dak's childish understanding of the clock late in the game that ruined a chance for a clinching TD and left lots of time for Philly?

How about the brain-dead pick 6 he threw?

And nobody says Rush should start. It's just clear that the difference between the two is about $5 million a year, not $38 million.

 

[Hardline]

back handed comment...well done.

but its not about being a passing team, which there are few who are successful. but one is a better passer than the other and when you need a 30 yard completion one gives you a chance, the other will get you at most, at most, at most 15 yards.....

I can assure you Cooper Rush can throw 30 yard completions. There's literally video of him doing it

I used "we're" as an answer to YOUR direct question

You asked why people complain Daks not the goat

I'm answering your question honestly

Dak is treated by many on this forum as if he's incapable of making a mistake

Perhaps you yourself don't fit that mold but many do. Every bad play, literally every bad play, has nothing to do with him

Why wouldn't some folks expect perfection when it's daily stated on here that dak doesn't make mistakes by more than a few people?

If daks adherents can't acknowledge his mistakes, why doesn't that bother you if you're truly "in the middle"?

Why does only "extreme criticism" roil your blood, while blind homerism goes unnoticed?

Honest question. When's the last time you called someone out for not acknowledging a bad play by dak? If it happened, I'll apologize but I missed it somehow

I can assure you Cooper Rush can throw 30 yard completions. There's literally video of him doing it

I remember, I had gotten up to get a beer, was a little hungry, realized I was out of mustard and had to run to store, got mustard, realized need tomatoes, so had to walk back to store, got tomatoes, got home, made sandwich, sat down took a bite, realized I forgot beer that I wanted in first place, grabbed the beer, then saw the completion with the incredible WR catch...it was a career high light.

and I responded accordingly. that many complain about him making mistakes and why he is not the goat.

and I responded. many treat him as if he is incapable of mistakes. many treat him as if he is incapable of making any plays.

your original post said " you guys" and "we'er"....as in I am not in your group....

and as I originally said, most here are extreme. I am in the middle. he is not elite. he is not the worst. and why wouldn't folks expect disaster, when its daily stated on here that dak never makes any plays and is responsible for every thing bad offensive by more than a few people.

if Dak haters can't acknowledge his good plays, why doesn't that bother you if you are truly "in the middle:"?

why does only "extreme praise", rol your blood, while blind hatred goes unnoticed?

see it works both ways!!!

And there's only about 10-12 posters on either side of the equation. They're best ignored.

Actually no it doesn't work both ways because I never claimed to be in the middle

You did. I'm not. I think Dak is grossly overrated and want the cowboys to move on.

So back to you? When's the last time you got on a dak homer for refusing to acknowledge a mistake on his part?

And if you can't answer that question then take your "I'm down the middle" bull $hit and move on.
