On the Fox Sports 1 show Undisputed, Skip Bayless said that current Cowboys starting quarterback Cooper Rush could supplant the 2016 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year as the team’s starter:
Bayless concluded his point by saying that Rush is better than Dak Prescott based on the tape of the Cowboys’ previous games:
Rush replaced the two-time Pro Bowler after he injured his right thumb in Dallas’ season opener versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
How has Cooper Rush performed in Dak Prescott’s absence?
Since taking charge of the Cowboys offense, Rush has thrown for 514 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He threw for 215 yards in the Cowboys’ Week 3 victory over the New York Giants by a 23-16 score.
In his first full start, versus the Cincinnati Bengals the previous week, he led the team on a six-play drive, winning on a Brett Maher 50-yard field goal by a score of 20 -17.
With no timetable for Dak Prescott’s return, Rush will be under center as Dallas host Carson Wentz and the Washington Commanders in their second straight NFC East matchup of the season.
