Whitlock: Dak is just another Cooper Rush

[ClintDagger]

Well he was a lot more mobile when he came into the league and certainly in his rookie year. Compared to now the guy was a poor man’s Michael Vick. Now he is a pocket passer but the most effective pocket passers are people who can hit timing routes and consistently hit receivers in stride. Something he struggles at.

Mobile maybe isn’t the right word but he was a threat with his legs and was a strong runner. He also was hard to bring down in the pocket and could extend plays that way. He’s never had an ounce of arm talent so with his athleticism gone he’s a more turnover prone version of Rush.

Jason Whitlock one of my favorites . He speaks the truth .

Great points!

Ask yourself is Dak a difference maker?
If the answer is no, there is NO way you pay him 60 million per year!!!!!

Never had an ounce of arm talent….really?

 

[stilltheguru]

Whitlock is right sometimes and wrong sometimes but he's a very inauthentic and disingenuous character so even if he is right I'd rather hear it from someone else

It's funny when someone has this take about Dak, then they are nothing but a hack! If he would have said something good about Dak, oh, he knows what he is talking about. Dak fans, poor things!

Defending Dak at this point is just a fool's errand that is hard to watch. Pure cringe.

Except Rush beats playoff caliber teams.

One Cowboys starting QB has beat a team that has clinched a position in the playoffs this year, and it's not Rush.

Let’s call it his McGuffin. However we define it I think we can all agree that he lost it.

Can't argue with this.

• He says repeatedly that Dak is better than Cooper.....check
• He says also that Dak is not the QB that carries a team...check
• Dak is WAY overpaid given what he brings to the table...check

These are things that most know if they arent heavily biased either way.

Dak was having a bad year, but he was near the the top of league the previous year statistically.
It got Dallas nowhere in the end. Worst Dallas home playoff loss...in Cowboy history.

He's never been anything special. But has always been good when the players around him are good.
Not great. Good
The QB position is overpaid and he has reaped the rewards.

Jason Whitlock is a buffoon. I don't like anything about him. Even if he speaks the truth about a matter I would never hear it since I don't listen to morons.

Yep. Could tell me grass is green and I wouldn’t believe them.

I wouldn't hear him say it. No matter the platform that clown would never get my patronage, TMC a.k.a. Nip.

he's one of the biggest buffoons in media. i'm not sure who else i've seen where everything they say is so consistently wrong, and lambasted.

Yes and some have to respond to EVERY post because how dare he get some negativity

 

[Praxit]

Yet Rush stats look a lot like Daks despite Dak having the worst year of his career lol

...yep, agree here. It was that type of year for whole team.
Dak is usually top ten in categories.

 

[Mannix]

Agree with everything said, except for he and most of the talking heads seem to be dead wrong about Cowboy fans thinking Dim is the "engine" powering this team...I don't know VERY FEW "Knowledgable" Cowboy fans that still thinks this is true.

I do not like Jason Whitlock, at all, but hit the nail on the head. The gig is up, Cooper Rush has exposed the false belief that the team couldn't win without Dak. Jerry gave away the stash to the wrong person.

I always felt Dak was much better when he ran the ball because my belief is once he took a hit, it woke him up and he was locked into the game. Now he just sits in the pocket and he was never a pocket passer.

Bottom line, Cowboys nation is stuck with Dak because Jerry has to be right. Shoutout to the Falcons GM (who can actually be fired) for making the call of admitting his mistake and moving on without the nonsense we're used to around here.
