Cooper Rush is actually a very solid QB
He’s been very solid correct but don’t forget, not only was he cut by the Giants 2 seasons ago but was was cut this year and available to every team in the NFL and absolutely no one wanted him. Hell half the Cowboys fans wanted Will Grier over him.
Now tell me which is more likely, that the scaled back offense and surprise play of Tyler Smith at LT (not to mention the defense giving good field position) has really helped Rush, or that Rush is now all of a sudden better than Dak?
I know Cooper Rush is not Dak Prescott. My personal opinion about what Jerry was trying to "sell" is that he intended to create a QB controversy because he views that as healthy and TBH I don't see why it isn't. I've been voicing that in here without reply. All it's going to do is make each of them play harder. Give Cooper the impression that if he keeps it up he can be a starting QB in the NFL. Give Dak motivation to play harder.
They are both stand up guys and I can't imagine something like that causing friction with them.
After 7 years of catering and giving Dak everything he needs to be successful, Jerry feels he needs to motivate him after he got his contract, weapons, new coach, etc,.
