Will McCarthy have the fortitude to pull Dak if necessary?

[phildadon86]

Do people watch the games? Cooper rush progressively got worse each game he played.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

It won't come down to it. But if it did, yes McCarthy would pull Dak.

This is too important of a season and he knows it.

Oh that's why Jerry was having MM neck and feet measured for an anchor and a pair of 12EEEE concrete shoes last week. MM thinks it's for a brand new tux and italian leather designer shoes.

I agree with a previous poster: He should have been pulled at halftime of the 49er game. He was playing awful when all we needed was a bus driver. If Dak plays as bad as that in our first 5 games, he should be pulled. I'm not rooting for that to happen. I'm hoping he'll prove all his nay sayers wrong by playing great.

Oh, and this has happened before. Landry pulled Danny White in favor of Gary Hogeboom in '84. He also pulled Craig Morton in a playoff game against the 49ers in '72 in favor of Roger Staubach. Coach Johnson started Steve Beuerlein in the playoffs against Detroit, and then pulled him in favor of Aikman because the game was going badly. None of these were due to injury. Beuerlein playing instead of Aikman was due to injury, but Beuerlein getting pulled in that game was not.

the game is 9-6 at half time!!!! 9-9 at the end of 3rd quarter....you think Rush would have a chance? really. against the SF front? they would just pull their entire defense inside of 10 yards of LOS at that point.

totally agree
he had 100 yards passing against the rams. the defense scoring once. and giving him another gift inside the 20 and he couldn't cash in and forced us to kick a field goal.
we passed 16 times and rushed 34 times.

he had a total melt down against Eagles.

 

[noshame]

how is Jerry's days numbers? death. his franchise is worth the most of any sports franchise anywhere. it went from 8.1B to 9.2 B. no superbowls of CG appearance in 27 years....

Nope……not happening. Hell, he wouldn’t even pull Dakota when we are in the 4th quarter and ahead by 3 touchdowns to get the backup some playing time…..it hasn’t been his MO up till now

That’s sounds nasty when you put it that way…..

 

[The Fonz]

This made me think of when teams would replace the QB to try to find a spark.

Don Strock, Gary Kubiak, Steve DeBerg come to mind.

Some others I’m forgetting I’m sure.

Steve- I got you babe- Bono

 

[cald0d30s0]

Whatever coach Jerry decides.

 

[TNCowboy]

They're trying to give Dak an extension. So if it gets to the point that Dak has to be pulled, yes MM will pull him (for that game), but over the long haul, there's no replacing Dak. If Dak flops bad and is replaced, we're still stuck with him for years at crippling #s, and still don't have a QB. MM will rejoice when Stephen and Jerry drop the hatchet at that point.

 

[Captain-Crash]

Heck I think fat mike is just hoping to get off the team with the most money he can. "get that money boyee, screw the billionaires" "You can only pretend to be a coach for so long"

 

[Reid1boys]

Let me clue you in on something that should be obvious. Starting qbs making Daks money dont get pulled.

Cooper rush did not have to play without a run game and an offensive line in with players around him not playing well literally would have got killed against the 49ers who has one of the top three defenses in the entire league you remember the one that Cooper rushed through three interceptions against the Eagles not even as good a defense he also threw two interceptions in the Washington game that got called back but they were definitely interceptions he also had two fumbles in the Rams game and only 107 yards of offense the man had us in a pitiful offense bottom 10 in the league and you're trying to tell me you think he would have done better after halftime with no Tony Pollard no run game offensive line not blocking well and only one player catching the football no you are absolutely delusional I'm sticking by my original thought if I have to keep coming on here and and showing you how it really is Cooper rush would have got killed he may have even retired he would've got embarrassed so much yes it can be worse there's no way he plays better than Prescott in the same situations but Prescott could play twice as good as Cooper rush during that five game stretch in which the defense the run game and the line played out of their minds even the special teams.. You're blinded

 

[khiladi]

Did you get your calculator stuck there Newton? If you take off your shoes we can start counting Daks wins but you won’t get far

Sounds like a diversion….

The league is entirely different now then when aikman played. Tipped balls or off the wr hands do not bother me so much. Prescotts interceptions just look ugly as opposed to being unlucky. It’s clearly mental and they usually come in chunks.

Rush plays within his ability and is playing to not lose rather than to win. He did his job but you can’t ask him to march down the field and win the game for you. Maybe 3/10 times he could do that consistently.

bottom line is I want him to stop forcing things that aren’t there and play smart football. Instead it feels like we have a headcase back there. Remember the Atlanta game and how that game single handedly changed the course of prescotts season?

Now I hear excuses here let me explain something to you the man was on one of the best teams ever assembled with the best coaching Staffs ever assembled and yet he still through 24 touchdowns and 17 interceptions in the playoffs I don't wanna hear the excuses 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions I watched Montana have way better seasons than that in the same damn era.. You're making excuses for a person who played on one of the best teams ever and still threw 141 interceptions I don't wanna hear it we have guys now that are considered good to elite like Josh Allen leads the league and turnovers Matthew Stafford had 20 interceptions in his Super Bowl winning year two of those were in the Super bowl.. I don't wanna hear that you're a crap literally Cooper rush did not play within the confines of the game he had two interceptions in the Washington game that got called back he had two fumbles we didn't lose in the Rams game and only 107 passing yards he had three interceptions against the Eagles who by the way don't have as good a defense as the 49ers you don't wanna know why did you see hello the difference in how many points we scored against the Eagles with Prescott playing you know drop 40 points on that defense Cooper rushed through three interceptions.. You are so delusional and some of you who think Cooper rush could have played better and you're definitely wrong absolutely wrong not even close you're so wrong you're not even in this debate..

Really again let's finish up this playing not to lose and yet he still throws interceptions and he fumbles and he can't muster a barely a touchdown a game he has us in the bottom 10 and the only reason he won those games was because of how great the defense the special teams the run game and the offensive line we're playing at the time altogether and that's not how the entire season went down and there was absolutely no run game no offensive line and the play calling was atrocious there's no way Cooper Russ could move the football against the 49ers not happening not even close and if you like my run on sentence that's all you're getting because I don't debate with people who are clueless they have no football IQ at all if you think Cooper rush could have played better against the 49ers in the second-half with no run game at all with the offensive line not playing well and the 49ers defense..

That's because most teams don't have a backup that can play even as well as the starter who's not playing that well there's no way Cooper rush could have saved US against the 49ers with no run game in the offensive line not playing well there was basically no support and against that 49ers defense it would have never happened and people need to get a clue and get a life... People are still so blinded by that four in one record by Cooper rush it's almost insane that they don't understand the game that our team on a whole played their best football during that stretch despite Cooper rush not being able to barely score touchdown and had us in the bottom 10 in offense that's how great they played they did not play that great the whole entire season and they did not play that great against the 49ers..

You give Prescott a run game and a better offensive line and a defense that played that well and then he wins those games too that's not the case the offense on a whole just stunk all of it.. Cooper rush needs three times the amount of help than Prescott needs in order to win games he would have never even survived that 49er game..

Sounds like you could use more help counting. You still sticking to it?

You: Cooper Rush started 4 games.
