2. A Dak Prescott-led offense proves that Cooper Rush held the offense back

When Cooper Rush was the quarterback for the Cowboys, he kept the team alive. The Cowboys made out of the stretch with a 4-1 record under Rush, and some people felt the need to stir up a controversy surrounding the QB1 position.

Over his five starts, Rush led the offense to just 21.4 points per game, which is not bad, but also is not good. For how much firepower this offense has in terms of its skill positions, there’s no reason the team shouldn’t be averaging at least 25 points per game.

The truth of the matter is that Rush is no Prescott. He did a great job of keeping the team afloat, but it was proven today that the team will only thrive with No. 4 under center. He made throws that Rush simply doesn’t have the arm talent to make, including the one above.

This game helped people remember what it was like for Prescott to be the head man of the offense. They look like a completely different unit, more confident, and more opportunities are opened up for the team. This is a Super Bowl contender under Prescott.
