As we’ve been projecting the Dallas Cowboys’ 2023 roster, responses indicate that there is some confusion out there about the NFL’s new rule regarding an “emergency” third quarterback. It’s good to take a moment to clarify this rule as it could have a significant bearing on the job security of Will Grier or Cooper Rush, depending on who ultimately loses out in the battle for the backup job.
For now, Grier is still expected to be QB3 behind Dak Prescott and Rush. While he does seem to have closed the gap a bit with Rush in overall competence and performance, it’s hard to turn down Rush’s 5-1 record as a starter.
