Jerry Jones said before Sunday’s game that he would favor a 2016 scenario with their starting QB going down. Doesn’t mean they would replace Dak, but is there even a conversation for sticking with Cooper Rush if he was undefeated when Prescott returns to full health?
Juwan: Cooper Rush isn’t a young quarterback who has promising talent that is now being unlocked. The reason Dallas has confidence in him is that he is a veteran they know what he can and cannot do. It’s unfortunate the final time we saw Dak was in one of the worse performances of his career, but Prescott is the starter of this team whenever he comes back.
Nate: Goodness, no. Maybe if Rush absolutely sets the world on fire, but he’s not going to do that. Frankly I’d be absolutely stunned if he did. We can have that conversation if Rush all of a sudden became a top 10 quarterback like Dak Prescott, but thats just not in the cards. Plus, this locker room absolutely adores Prescott and his leadership in the locker room is indispensable.
After two weeks, and assuming all teams are at full strength, where Dallas rank in the NFC East?
Juwan: Dallas sits comfortably at number two right now. A lot has been made of how the Giants’ defense has looked and even how Carson Wentz has put up some big numbers, but they aren’t ready to challenge for one of the top two spots in the division. Even with Cooper Rush starting Dallas still may arguably have the second-best quarterback in the division. Given how explosive Philadelphia has looked this season it’s apparent they are the best team in the East until further notice.
