All we heard from Garrett apologists was that he always had the #1 offense, or at least top 10.
It didn't matter that we were 8-8.
Now it's the same argument - big stats, but not winning. Dak Prescott is Jason Garrett 2.0.
Cooper Rush doesn't rack up huge stats, but we're winning.
I'll take winning.

Tell me you don't understand how the team is winning, without telling me you don't understand how the team is winning.

The Cowboys haven't played a first five games, defensively, like this in 50 years. To his credit, Rush hasn't screwed it up.

Biggest complaint I had with Garrett is we could never build off one season to the next, it was always 1 step forward and 1 step back. I think Garrett is 2016 was a very good job, winning coach of the year honors and in my view rightly so considering we relied on a Rookie QB and produced a very good season. Yet the following year just as before the team failed to make post season, we could never string seasons together and build off of them

The defense is finally getting help in tough ball games from the offense. They're doing great, but please tell me you're not so naive as to think Rush isn't helping by moving the ball down the field repeatedly?
Field position alone is a big difference.

:facepalm:

What games are you watching? The last 3 games, only two teams have fewer first downs than Dallas, and only two teams have more punts per play than Dallas.

Dak Prescott is not Jason Garrett 2.0

Garrett on game day was a liability even at his best

dislike Prescott as much as you all want the man is A Top 10 qb and the reason so many people are harsh on him is because hes a cowboy
He isn’t a top ten quarterback. His ranking is very much in question he honestly might be a backup when this all shakes out.

Right I mean again I dont think Rush is playing bad for what he is, but to ignore the limitations because you dont like QB1 is ridiculous..I dont need to think Dak is elite to see he is better than Rush...thats not a knock on Rush its literally stating the obvious.

Still, he moved the ball down the field, and if his receivers could catch he would have scored more.

And whenever Dak won WITHOUT big stats, you still never gave him credit.

You’re fraudulent, just like the rest of the Anti-Dak Cult.

I think you aren't accounting for Rush's accuracy or his poise under pressure when you try to distinguish between the two.
It doesn't matter if Dak can throw further if he chokes and/or makes bad passes.

I think it’s important to give Dak a chance with this great defense.

Instead of an automatic loss on his off days, we would still have a chance to win. and on his good days, an automatic win.

I actually hate Dak for holding out on that ridiculous contract. But even I acknowledge, he’s better than Cooper Rush.

Without sticking up for Garrett, MM's first coach hire on the defensive side was abysmal. And they fell into Micah like they fell into Emmitt. Not their first choice. The football gods have spoken again.

If you really don't think it matters to the defense whether or not the offense can move the ball and at the least change field position, you don't know football.
