On Saturday night, the Dallas Cowboys put themselves among the best in the NFL when it comes to backup quarterback situations by signing veteran signal-caller Andy Dalton. With the Red Rifle backing up Dak Prescott, the Cowboys now have a quality reserve if their starter has to miss time for whatever reason.
For the past three years the Cowboys have operated with the same backup quarterback in Cooper Rush. It was all the way back in 2017 that Rush went undrafted and fought his way onto the roster; Rush’s success in the preseason forced the team to carry him on the 53-man roster.
