When Dak Prescott injured his thumb, most wrote off the team and some said their season was over. However, sitting at 3-1, the team is alive and well. That said, one NFL analyst believes the fun is coming to an end. Speaking on Pro Football Talk PM, Chris Simms said that the team will be reminded of having a backup quarterback and not a challenger for Dak Prescott's job. Here's how he put it: "I do think Dallas is better as a complete football team in totality, but I think Cooper Rush managing the game and all that good crap, right? That's not going to be enough this week against the Rams..." Skip Bayless@RealSkipBaylessI drove the Tim Tebow bandwagon but he was wild and hard to watch. Cooper Rush is the opposite — he routinely makes every throw and is fearlessly poised in the pocket. He is confounding the media who wrote off my Dallas Cowboys. twitter.com/skipbaylesssho…The Skip Bayless Show@SkipBaylessShow“Cooper Rush is the flip side of Tim Tebow.” — @RealSkipBayless6820“Cooper Rush is the flip side of Tim Tebow.” — @RealSkipBayless https://t.co/jkzVcp1NUiI drove the Tim Tebow bandwagon but he was wild and hard to watch.

Skip Bayless@RealSkipBaylessCooper Rush: first Cowboys QB in history to win his first 4 starts. This one was his most impressive, given little to no running game, shaky protection. Two TDs were great throws. Two potential INTs were negated by obvious penalties that caused them. Unspectacularly special.1248107Cooper Rush: first Cowboys QB in history to win his first 4 starts.

Unspectacularly special. Cooper Rush s success Dallas Cowboys v New York Giants In the preseason, the backup quarterback barely outplayed his competition to win the role. However, as mid-October rolls around, Rush is riding high after impressively holding down the fort for Dak Prescott. The backup quarterback lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1, but he's won every other contest. In Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, he threw for 235 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. In Week 3, he won again, throwing for 215 yards and a touchdown while completing 67 percent of his passes. Against the Washington Commanders, he completed just 55 percent of his throws for 223 yards and two touchdowns. He will face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, October 9, at 4:25 PM EST. He's already beaten one of the teams of Super Bowl 56. Can he beat the other? If any of the above quotes are used, please credit Pro Football Talk PM and H/T Sportskeeda.
