Why Not Give Cooper Rush a Chance Next Year?

[Pass2Run]

He's not as bad as some make him out to be. He surely wasn't as bad as I thought he was coming into the season. The way I see it, you can load up with a fresh RB, a new, OL, WR, and maybe TE, and he can drive the bus.

Do you think Cooper Rush is capable of running San Francisco's offense?

With the right players around him, Cooper Rush is probably the best option we have right now, in my opinion.

If Rush started against San Fran, do we win?

I think so...

 

[Carson]

Rush will go somewhere with a chance to compete. He will follow a guy like Moore to Carolina.

paying Dak 40mil...

 

[kskboys]

Rush does not have the physical ability to be a starter at the NFL level.

 

[Cowboy_svt]

I think we dont make the playoffs with Rush if he were to be in the whole season, but if he was in that 49ers game who knows, and thats the troubling part. His whole thing was keeping within the gameplan and limiting mistakes, and the latter is what killed us.

 

[Mannix]

We win with Rush on Sunday....having said that, Magic 8 Ball still says NO.

I think we'd be right where we were, even with Cooper Rush, in the wild card round.

The Giants made it in, with less wins than we had. If Rush plays against the 9ers, we would have had a better shot.

Hindsight is 20/20, but that's my take.

I don't think you can say he doesn't have the physical ability. Quarterback is more about what's between the ears than anything else. And Cooper has that in spades.

Because going from average to below average isn't ideal unless we are drafting a QB that year.

Oh, yes you can. A minimum of arm strength is necessary. Rush is far below that.

Cooper has a Tom Brady head for the game.

As starters go, Rush sucks buddy.

As a backup he is decent if you have an all world defense.

I highly doubt anyone will give him a starting job.

If our goal is to tank to get a better pick for a QB the following year, it's a good plan.

rush had a good benefit of our D being lights out early in the year, i dont think he has Daks potential to throw up as many points despite him turning the ball over less with how injuries hurt our defense. In the many shootouts we had this year i think wed do worse with Rush, but a grind out game like the 49ers i think Rush wouldve done a 'less is more' strategy which may be better.

Rush hasn't won a game when the opponent scored more than 17 points. Are we going to have the 2000 Ravens defense for 17-20 games?

 

[Tangle_Foot]

I don't think Rush is the answer going forward, having pick 26 in the first round all of the top candidates at quarterback will be gone. Maybe there's a guy with a second round grade that we feel good enough about that we pull the trigger on late in the first. I don't think there's any way around investing some draft capital, first or second round picks for quarterback, in preparation for life after Dak.

 

[bewp7]

u want over 20% of the salary cap sitting on the bench

dak is a $50,000,000 cap hit next season lol

That doesn't mean he can't score more than 17. Players can get better with experience.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Rush did his job here and it helped immensely that the defense played out of their minds when he started. Dump on Dak all you want, but the Cowboys would have struggled to win eight or nine games with Rush with the way the defense started to collapse at midseason. The Cowboys scored a grand total of nine touchdowns offensively in Rush's five starts. That would not have gotten them much further.

It doesn't matter how much you're paying Dak. It's irrelevant. His money can't win you football games. This logic is bunk. I couldn't care less about how much Dak makes, and Jerry should write it off as a loss and move on.

Pssst. He’s not that good.

We can't afford him
