Is this what the west coast offense is supposed to look like?

I must have slept since the last real deal west coast offense took the field. I have a very hard time thinking what Dak and MM are doing is how it's supposed to be. FG after FG after FG after FG isn't going to get it done. It just won't. Dak had a few good plays and that 1 good run, but overall he sucked. It was an awful display.
 
Um, no.

Dak is not capable of keeping up with a west coast offense for starters.

And 2nd of all, this isn’t a west coast offense. At all. The playcalling and scheme is nowhere near as exciting or open as a typical west coast offense. I don’t know what kind of offense this is. It’s an offensive playbook from a Chinese knockoff site like wish.com
 
I got so damn sick of all the screens. Some went for some positive yardage, but a majority of them went for losses. Dak seemed way to eager to just do a quick dump off screen without looking to see if it was going be a negative play or if he had opening to run.

Have we seen enough evidence yet to say that KM was the problem with the offense?
 
No, you need a QB who can quickly progress through reads and Dak just can't. He stares his guys down, throws the ball late, and gets the jitters.
I hate to disappoint you but you could sub in a better QB and the offense still won't be great. McCarthy is mediocre.

We have a average to decent QB paired with an average to decent OC and what you are going to get is pretty average to decent offense that is going to be inconsistent all year.
 
The West Coast offense was designed so that quarterbacks without the traditional arm strength and measurables could be successful. Basically, guys like Cincinnati OC Bill Walsh figured they either could wait for a Joe Namath to show up, or they could change the way offenses played to better fit the quarterbacks that most of the league had.

Joe Montana was the quintessential West Coast quarterback: smart, accurate, mobile enough to get out of the pocket, charismatic leader, undersized, relatively weak arm, playing against three perennially bad teams in a weak division in a down era for quarterback play.

When I think of west coast the first thing that comes to mind is Steve Young, Jerry Rice, etc.... they had some damn good offenses. Was very happy to see Dallas beat their arses back then
 
I just don't understand how an offense predicated on quick reads, good footwork, and hitting guys in stride for YAC would be a bad fit for our QB. It's a mystery.

Yeah don't really remember Montana having a weak arm...If Dak could only hit Lamb like Montana used to hit Rice in the WCO
