Why does the offense look so much different with another QB?

Yeah, that's a hard pill to swallow. I love Martin, but it's crazy to me the running game looked the best when both our All-Pro Guards were out. I think Washington played like crap, agreed. But the offense did move the ball well several times, just couldn't finish.
dumb penalties and loss trick plays costs the points yesterday.... 3rd and 7+ is almost a death sentence for this offense, was before the backup QB started also.

Because he is smarter than Dak. He may not be as physical as Dak, but his recognition skills are faster than Dak's.

Rush was going all over the place, Dak waits for CD to get open, that is his game. I would not be surprised if Rush was the starter from game one that the teams record would be better than it is.

Now, for the Dak lovers to jump in about his weak arm and other deflection crap.
cd had 10 catches yesterday, Rush is also looking for CD, now his yards per was way low but 10 catches is not low amount

Nope. Please quit including me in those ridiculous Dak spats and putting that sort of crapp in my head that I do not have. That should be reserved for your Dak spatting drivel.

It's like, I tell you what happened and you don't listen, and then accuse me of some sort of fairy tale. I have no agenda. Or rather, my agenda is to have a QB who is a D reading phenom w/ an NFL caliber arm. Dak has the NFL caliber arm, Rush has the NFL caliber head. You're so busy defending Dak you appear to be blind to anything and everything else.

A good D easily shuts Cooper down because he has a terrible arm. Dan Quinn let Cooper have the short stuff, so Cooper looked more effective. And throwing predominantly short stuff means the ball is gettting out of there really quickly. I mean, this is not rocket science, and if you'll leave your Dak agenda in the trash where it belongs, it would quickly become apparent to you.

If I told you Dak had two arms you'd argue.
You literally accused me of an agenda. You ask anyone fair on this site who doesn’t have an agenda against me I’m not a Dak bot. If he plays well he plays well. I don’t scream top 5. If he sucks he sucks I don’t scream bottom 5…Rush has sucked all season and I don’t use that as a time to gloat because I know he sucked for good reason. The team around him sucked.

Just because you tell me what you think bappened doesn’t make it gospel. The offensive line had its best game of the year yesterday. Was it because Commanders suck? I don’t know and I don’t care. How my team performs is irrelevant to what’s on the other side. They played a good game as did Rush.
I see why no one likes you. This arrogant elitist attitude you have isn’t warranted. You **** just like the rest of he snd mast I checked you aren’t in anyone’s front office either.

Of course it's two different players, but Dak was known for having more athletic abilities than Rush, yet every game we've seen rush in this year, he's been in the pistol??

I'm not trying to make this into a diss Dak thread, I just think there's elements to this offense that seem to work better with Rush in there. The game plan seems much better, the plays seem better. I'm not sure why we don't do these kinds of things with Dak. Please give me your thoughts
Stop , just stop it!!! I know where you are going with this, Rush is not better than Dak, all the proof you need is the times that Rush has been an FA and on the practice squad did anyone but us pick him up?
But if Dak becomes a FA or released by us he would be signed in an hour, most likely sooner than that

Oh, I know what your are saying and most of those catches were spot on. Dak waits to long for CD to get open and it's either over/under thrown or it's an Int. But Rush also went to others more than the chosen one does. Plus he does not dance like a clown before the game. lol

If only we could find out if that is true. Sigh....

You think they'd pick up that contract?

Smh, you know it’s true, but just to go with your narrative who do you think would be our QB and do a better job
Someone that is not on the team today. Dak is broken and it's coming on 10 years and more, and if you think he will hold up, then you send me some of that smoke.

Everyone was crapping on Rush and now after finally having a solid game some are back to claiming he’s better than Dak. :rolleyes: Just look at some of the posts on the board. What a crazy fan base.

It looked like a couple of bad teams trying to find some offense. Washington has been leaking oil the past few weeks. They would have six losses had it not been for the Hail Mary against Chicago. I said prior to the game that this wouldn’t be a slam dunk for Washington and that the Cowboys could pull off an upset. Washington may end up missing the playoffs if they aren’t able to right the ship.

How dare they have a smidgen of excitement. This is the way being a fanatic works. The back and forth "the thrill of victory and agony of defeat".

People aren't robots and most aren't interested in condescending virtue signalling.

Neither Dallas QB impress much…the 1st half of the game was an offensive bore with both defenses and special teams stealing the spotlight. While I thought Rush played better than the previous game there were still inaccurate passes that short-hopped receivers and weren’t on target.
If Washington’s kicker made his kicks and DQ would have gone for the 2pt conversion at the end of the game…this could have been a different outcome perhaps. I don’t know why you wouldn’t put the ball in Daniel’s’ hands, he was effective running the ball the whole game.
The defense was bailed out for sure…how does a defense give up a long TD pass in the waning seconds of the game? Yes…please bring back Zimmer to coordinate the defense next year!

I went through this excercise and compared Dak to other QBs and their favorite targets and its pretty much the same for all of the ones you in the past have expressed love for (Mahomes, Allen, etc. ).

and its turning out its the same for cooper too as CD is his favorite target and he tends to dump off to RBs a lot.

so yeah, you would be very wrong in this case. your comments now and in the past about this topic didn't age very well, because you have hate glasses on and extremley biased in your view, which always leads to wrong conclusions....as usual.

and Rush has a weak arm. that was his draft assessment, why he went UDFA and been his achilles in the NFL. its not a deflection, but facts. if a coach knows this, then the game plan is such not to have him force the ball too far down field and play it safe, with quick throws.

this is not a defense of Dak, which most Dak haters/Rush Lovers tend to do with any not over the top positive comments about Rush...its just knowing Rush and his severe limitations.

So damn close, until the end. Oh, you don't fool me, of course it was a defense of Dak. I know your game.

So, get to the back of the line where you belong.
