The Giants never got to see the version of Cooper Rush that Jason Garrett knew was inside the journeyman quarterback.
Before Rush, 28, outdueled Joe Burrow to lead the Cowboys to a win last week, and before he threw for 325 yards in his first career start last season, he spent 147 days in the Giants organization as a third- or fourth-stringer.
“I see a guy that’s a starting quarterback in this league,” first-year Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale said. “Just watching him and the decisions that he makes, I think he’ll have a long career as a quarterback in this league.” The 2020 Giants moved forward with Jones, backed up by Colt McCoy. Thorson was on and off the roster for two years before landing in the USFL. Alex Tanney, who overlapped with Rush in the offseason, is an offensive quality control coach for the Eagles.
“Where people have made mistakes on quarterbacks through the years is they get enamored with the wrong things,” Garrett said.Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is dreaming of Rush playing so well that he threatens an injured Dak Prescott’s starting job. But Garrett is thinking back to the 2017 Hall of Fame Game, when a rookie led a 75-yard touchdown drive in his first impression as a pro.
