Okay, so, let’s talk about these Cowboys backup quarterback rumors. I’ve been following this whole thing pretty closely, and it’s been a wild ride.
First off, I started digging into this whole situation when I heard that Dak Prescott got injured. He is our main guy, so I was getting worried about who would step up. It is a huge deal for us, you know? I immediately started checking out all the usual sources, trying to get a feel for what the team was thinking.
The first thing I did was going over our current roster. Will Grier was the name that came up as the backup, and I started watching his preseason games. The coach, Mike McCarthy, even said some good things about him. So, I looked into his past games and college performances. I gotta say, the guy’s got potential, but it’s still a big question mark if he can handle the pressure of being a starter.
- Watched Grier’s preseason games.
- Checked out his college highlights.
- Read McCarthy’s statements about him.
Then, there’s this Cooper Rush guy. I remember he filled in for Dak before. Some people were saying, “Hey, he’s not the future, he’s older.” But I decided to look at his recent starts, you know, just to see how he’s been doing. I tracked down the stats from his last couple of games. They were not great. Losing two games in a row and only 16 points in total is tough. He may be experienced, but he got a $5,000,000 contract recently. I do not think he is worth it.
- Reviewed Rush’s past performances when he filled in for Dak.
- Analyzed his stats from the last two starts.
And of course, the name Trey Lance popped up. The whole situation with him is bizarre. People are saying he’s young, he’s got a high ceiling, and maybe he’s a better bet than Rush. He might be our future, but it’s a gamble. So I spent some time comparing his potential against Rush’s experience. But, honestly, it’s hard to say who’s the better choice right now.
- Compared Lance’s potential with Rush’s experience.
- Considered the long-term implications of choosing Lance over Rush.
I even looked into the possibility of the Cowboys trading for another quarterback. But it seems like they’re not going for any big names, at least not yet. After seeing Grier play in the preseason finale, he returned to the Cowboys on the practice squad for additional quarterback depth. This is getting interesting.
My Conclusion
After all this digging, watching games, and reading up on these guys, I’m still not 100% sure who should be the backup. It’s a tough call. Each guy has his own strengths and weaknesses. It is really a dilemma. All we can do is wait and see what the team decides.
This whole quarterback situation is a big deal for any Cowboys fan. It impacts our chances this season, and honestly, it’s been keeping me on the edge of my seat. Let me know what you guys think. Who do you think should be the backup?
