Would the Cowboys be 4-1 with Dak?

[MoistMayonnaise]

Dak has been lousy taking care of the football, too many interceptions, fumbles and sacks as well. That puts tremendous pressure on the defense. Rush is not nearly as talented as Dak but has played clean. That is huge and why we are winning.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Nope


I have seen plenty of games with Dak where the defense shuts down the opposing team yet Dak and the offense is MIA

Does everyone remember the Saints and Patriots games in 19??

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Be honest; if Dak hadn't gotten hurt in the 19-3 drubbing at the hands of Tom Brady and the Buccaneers, who believes the Cowboys would have won the next four games?
Do you think a Dak led offense would have beat Cincinnati and Los Angeles- last year's Super Bowl teams- and the now 4-1 Giants and 2-4 "Commanders" in a 4 game stretch?

The way this defense has played and the run game. Absolutely we would be 4-1

Offense would have been ranked much higher than 27th

 

[leeblair]

For those who said "yes", would you mind telling the rest of us what happened to Dak with the Buccaneers?
The defense held the Buccaneers to 19 points.

 

[ak47kaehu]

I don't think so because they'd still be too pass happy and fail to stick to the run.....which would result in a few more losses.

 

[bewp7]

no did u see how they was play calling in week 1

and if they go back to that kind of stupid they will lose when dak is back

 

[America's Cowboy]

Would the Cowboys be 4-1 if they weren't able to run the ball well while also having a top 3 defense?

Be honest. Don't lie.

 

[TWOK11]

We’d be 4-1 with at least three of the wins being blowouts.

We’d have hung 40 on Washington and NY with Dak.

So what happened against the Buccaneers? They were held to only 19 points.

 

[ShortRound]

Well he wasn’t playing so well that first game so I’m gonna say no.

 

[Risen Star]

No. They would have lost the Bengals and Rams games.

[MountaineerCowboy]

We'd be 5-0 without him.

 

[leeblair]

Yes we would be 4-1.

So what happened against the Buccaneers? The Buccaneers were held to 19 points.

 

[leeblair]

YES

So what happened against the Buccaneers? The Buccaneers were held to 19 points.

 

[KJJ]

This one is easy…NO!

So you’re saying Cooper Rush is a better QB? Lol

 

[leeblair]

I can honestly say yes. The D has won every game. Plus despite what the dummy Dak haters say he doesn’t throw many picks.

So what happened against the Buccaneers? The Buccaneers were held to only 19 points.

 

[leeblair]

Fair enough

If Drew Henson was QB1 we'd still be 4-1.

Defense is on a legendary pace

So what happened against the Buccaneers? The Buccaneers were held to only 19 points.

The only reason we wouldn’t be 4-1 with Dak is because the Cowboys would still be pass happy with Dak having to carry the offense. The Cowboys have been playing offense much more conservatively with Rush to avoid him making mistakes. We’re running the ball much more and trying to get the ball out of his hand quick. We’re not being real creative on offense and aren’t taking a lot of chances. He only had to attempt 16 passes last week because of our running game and defense.

We couldn’t run the football in the opener and our defense wasn’t nearly as good as we’ve seen since Rush took over. Tampa put up over 150 yards rushing against us and we only sacked Brady twice. That’s not nearly the same defense we’ve seen with Cooper Rush at QB. Fans are kidding themselves if they think we would have won that game with him but you have a lot of fools on here that hate Dak so much they’ve brainwashed themselves into believing that. Lol

 

[droopdog7]

I don't think anyone on this board can honestly say "yes".
And that speaks volumes.

Of course we could say yes. He's the better QB.
