“Cooper Rush, an undrafted free agent, has proven himself as a reliable backup with a 9-5 record as a starter for the Cowboys,” Skillern noted in a January 16 feature. “Meanwhile, Trey Lance, the former number-three overall pick, has started just one game for Dallas, which ended in a loss, leaving him with a 5-7 overall record .”
