Cowboys Legend ‘Moose’ Johnston Says Dak’s Job Safe Despite Cooper Rush’s Play

Even though Cooper Rush has actually eliminated it as the fill-in QB1 for the Cowboys … Dallas legend Daryl “Moose” Johnston informs TMZ Sports Dak Prescott ain’t in threat of being supplanted.

“I’m a believer that you don’t lose your job due to an injury — especially if you were one of the starters, one of the best players at your position in the NFL,” Johnston informed us today.

“It’s going to be hard for Cooper Rush to create that type of controversy.”

Of course, lots of think that circumstance has actually currently gotten here — as Rush has actually been excellent the previous 2 weeks while Prescott has actually been out with a thumb injury.

Rush is 2-0 in his 2 starts, setting up QB scores of 95.5 versus the Bengals and 98.2 versus the Giants — leading some to believe he’s currently done enough to keep Dak on the rack even after the Week 1 starter gets healthy.

But Johnston informed us he does not see that taking place at all … discussing he believes this is a totally various circumstance than the one Dak had back in 2016, when he officially took control of for a hurt Tony Romo.

The previous Cowboys fullback, however, thinks Rush — an upcoming totally free representative — has actually made some cash for himself regardless … revealing he can be among the premier backup QBs in the league moving forward.
