Dak looked like he had never seen a blitz before

If Dak can’t get mobile and scramble he is finished. He is not elite enough to just be a passer or handoff like Rogers. Either he learns to scramble again or retire.
 
He's one of the best QBs in the league against the blitz and has been for years. The idea that he somehow forgot how to play against the blitz since the first drive against Tampa is comically shortsighted.

The problem is that the coach has no solutions for this specific type of blitz package where the QB can't be right pre-snap.
 
I support Dak, and believe he is a good guy, but the last two weeks especially last night he looked like he had never seen a blitz before. On top of that, Dak looked scared last night. He has to stop with this predetermined mindset of throwing to Lamb before the play even develops. Speaking of Lamb, how do you slip and fall when you're not even running that fast to begin with? Whoever the Defensive back coaches are, they need to be let go immediately! Schotty, calls plays like it's our 1st pre-season game. On a positive note Porter looked pretty good (minus that P.I. call). He plays with an attitude and confidence that hopefully rubs off on the rest of the secondary. Q. Williams, played solid and Clarke had a sack!
He was awful last night.
He was also.awful against Tampa

Throwing 54 times in a game is just a recipe for disaster......42 passes in the Bucs game.

Too one dimensional and no dedication to the running game despite Williams having almost 4 yards a rush. 12 total rushing attempts against the Bucs and 11 total against the Pack.
 
Maybe Jerry can petition the NFL to make defenders count to 10 before rushing dak. He's dak good.
Good point.....similar to my request to impose Canadian Football rules for our D.....then we can discuss 2nd down conversion rate instead of 3rd down rates. Just a change. I'm for Justin Herbert talk (complete immunity by the talking heads so far), winless..........but would fit the bill for some who want Dak our and simply just heaving on him. Justin would bring happiness for a lot of reasons.
 
Honestly, why is this even necessary to put this disclaimer out. We're talking football here. I don't care if he's Mother Teresa and I don't care if he's Jeffrey Dahmer. His job is to win football games. Part of the challenge is that this IMO questionable good guy image has provided him cover for some very questionable play. At this point whether he is a good guy or not is completely immaterial. He's not a good quarterback and it's time to move on
I assume he just doesn't want to be labeled a "hater".

This is why I am still mad about Micah.
