The backup quarterback job has become an open competition for the Dallas Cowboys.

A combination of Kellen Moore’s struggles and Cooper Rush’s successes has put the organization in this position, coach Jason Garrett said.

“Kellen has done some really good things and then other times hasn’t been as good,” Garrett said. “And Cooper has taken advantage of his opportunities when he’s gotten them. That’s the big thing we try to emphasize to all of our players – if you get 20 reps in practice or two, maximize them.

“There’s going to be a reel at some point that we’re going to look at that are all of your plays.
