I had to stop watching. This makes Moore look really bad. I get that it is only a subset of plays, but he's the one on play design and teaching Dak.

20:50,

Kurt Warner, I have no idea why Dak is hitching it. He’s got 4 go routes and 1 in.

Dak looks bad when he gets the happy feet. As Kitna told him "Let er rip!" What that takes, as Warner kept saying, is "you got to know your hot read". Or just your read generally. Got to read the formation and know what you're keying on to decide. You get happy feet when you don't know and are trying to figure it out on the fly.

My thought also. Lets get this guy on our staff somehow.

It makes Mike look bad. As head coach he should see and fix these problems. The question is, What the hell has he been doing all year?

The lack of football intelligence on every level on this offense, from the head coach down to the players is why we get frustrated with all this talent. Its been that way on the defense and when 1 man, Mr Quinn came in and fixed it in 1 offseason shows us just how bad it is on offense. We need a Dan Quin type as HC, Offense, and defense. All this talent on offense is wasted with Mike who does nothing and Moore who is too inexperienced by himself to really teach the little subtleties to these players that would make a huge difference. It makes sense why we beat bad teams so soundly then struggle when we face anyone near our talent level.

Agree. Quinn is a wake up call to what a difference coaching can make.. and what '1' elite player can do. No doubt that Parsons changed the defence for the better and it was perfect timing with Quinn making us a more aggressive unit.

I think get the right coach and our offence could do the same. We have enough 'difference makers' on offence if used right.

Heck.. I hope we trade him out but even Dak COULD be serviceable if we put the right scheme around him and run the rock enough.

Kellen certainly is a problem, but so is Dak.Poor accuracy,doesn’t see the field,so slow processing,bad pocket awareness,ect.I think he still sees ghosts from Atlanta game a few yrs. back.There’s a reason he was a 4th round pick.He plays scared.

I still feel that the Atlanta game in 2017 made Dak spooked. In my view, he hasn't been the same since.

Fortunately that's something that can be coached easily. MM needs to spend time with Dak this offseason and drill some of these concepts into his head.
KM hasn't been effective doing so. Dak certainly deserves blame but if a player keeps making same mistakes, it's the job of the coaches to point it out and get it right. Regardless of how long they've been playing the position.


Lol!

There's a reason why I'm not a brain surgeon..
I'm not smart enough.

This is why Brady is the GOAT. His only real "talent" is his brain. Peyton Manning was also slow as molases and had an average at best arm but the guy was brainiac. Some guys have brains, others have cannons.. But it's just one of those things that you either have it or you don't. If everybody got "smarter" with coaching and experience, there would be nothing but 35 year old QBs starting in the NFL and we know that's not the case. You either have it or you don't.

You know why. Because most QBs are more like Dak than Rogers or Brady. Forget your personal feeling about Dak and ask yourself how many QBs in the league currently can just sit back in the pocket and pick apart a very good defense week in and week out. A defense that can get to the QB with only 4 rushers and 7 playing coverage.
Not many.

It doesnt matter how many there are. All it matters is to have a QB who can beat good defenses on a constant basis. Dak is not that. For the last who didnt want to know it became obvious in the 2019 season.

With him you wont win any meaningful game. But if thats your goal it doesnt matter if you play with no QB or Prescott, the result will be the same.

With that in mind there was never pressure to give Prescott a new deal. Some people here ask "whats your plan B then"? The answer is easy: There is no Plan B, There is only a Plan A, thats finding a QB who can win you games against better defenses. And Prescott never should have been part of that plan.

I'm not sure how you can say that after last year without Dak. Did you see how Dalton and Dinucci played last year?

1. Bad play designs (that’s on Moore and MM)
2. QB unable to read defences (that’s on the 42 million dollar man)

nothing we didn’t know
Just more evidence
A QB doesn't throw for as many yards, as high as a completions % or break so many passing records in only 6 years of time if he can't read defenses.

No QB is perfect. There will be plays missed. Always room for improvement BOTH for a QB and young O-Coordinator. A veteran QB ex-SB Champ and HOFer like Kurt Warner would do wonders for even more improvement, but to say such an accomplished QB like Dak can't read defenses is absolutely ridiculous.

It's not getting smarter but changing behavior through coaching. Brett Favre led the NFL in INTS the year before MM got to GB with 29.
The first year under MM it went down to 18 then 15 the following year. Favre then went to the Jets and led the NFL in INTS again his first year with the Jets. Favre didn't get smarter for two years under MM then went stupid again with the Jets. He was coached better on not throwing INTS under MM.

Did we win any meaningful game with Prescott ? No.

So where is the difference ?

Of course if your goal is to be an average team, win some, lose against the better teams. Then there is a difference. There is of course a difference between 6-10 and 10-6.

but both wont have any value if you are looking for real sporting success. so again, if thats the case, there is no difference between those 2 outcomes.

What is a meaningful game to you? Every game is meaningful. The goal is to get to the playoff first. Unless you achieve that, nothing else could be achieved.
We got to the playoffs. We would not have gotten to the playoffs with "no QB" as you put it.
