We want Cooper to be succe sful as po sible. So, I think it stops right there.MORE:Jones, to be clear, isn't bullish on Rush's chances. When asked if the quarterback could repeat what Prescott did in 2016 when he wrested the starting job from an injured Tony Romo by winning 11 straight games after a Week 1 lo s, Jones downplayed the po sibility."Well, I don't know that," Jones said. "You can't find on record where I said I thought Dak Prescott could do it when he stepped in and had the chance to do that. But he did it."McCarthy and Jones have an interesting relationship. Jones fired what for McCarthy this offseason by saying he has "choices" about the Cowboys' head coach.
