We’re going to really rely on Kellen this season

Here’s your chance to clear things up! Or do I need to repost your direct quotes?

1. Do you consider defense, special teams, and coaching important to winning? Do they matter?

2. Do you expect the qb to lead any team deep into the playoffs regardless of the team around him?

Simple questions.
Simple answers, you can repost but repost whole context.no fake posts here , you asked about QB leading with poor coaches I said remember Barry. Coaching takes over when players reach a certain level. Poor coaching certainly doesn't help most players but the great ones overcome it.
Again no one expects a QB to lead a team to the SB with scrubs but Dak has world class talent around him on offense and a passable defense so a deep play off run should be achievable.

Yet, the team, when in crunch time, did not score enough points to win. That is my concern. yardage is terrific. And if Boy Wonder can translate that into less dropped balls and more touchdowns, then he will sell me.

But I think back to Norv.

"Jimmy, do you want to run the ball here?"

"I want to score."

Deep slant and Dallas was headed to the Super Bowl.

Players are great. These players will be greatness.

If....

Moore can get them into the endzone. Not 80 yards and stalling out because he is either too transparent the other team knows the play, or too staid he cannot figure out where the weakness is and get the points.

The 2020/21 season Motto should be - Touchdowns, not field goals.

So pardon me if I still question him. The smell of Garrett, and Moore linger when the team could not overcome the rain and beat a Patriots team that was on it's heels most of that game.

This is my opinion.

I have a little more optimism about Moore, but I agree that score is far more important than yards...and am concerned about that.

A whole bunch of our stats were garbage time stats. I am waiting to see what happens this year for Kellen and our offense.

Ok, soo...………...Coaching matters and defense matters. And you agree the Defense is "passable"/not good.

Now lets move onto special teams. Is special teams important? Things like field position and kicking field goals?

I don't think anyone doesn't agree that the offense is as talented as any in the league. The question has been the other 3 major parts of the football team. Offense has generally been good for the last 14 years with Romo and Dak, but we haven't gotten past the 2nd round. Not a big mystery why.

Fix the inconsistent defense and horrible special teams. The offense will be fine.


Offense needs to not disappear for long periods against good teams.

All 3 need to get better. The offense had some good numbers but they were hollow IMO.

McCarthy needs to make us more difficult to defend and not so what you see is what you get like Garrett did.

Defense was anywhere from 11 to 15 passable / good and needs improvement. ST where bad last year. Problem is all the $$$ spent on the O and the disappearing act they do in many games. We shall see what MM does for all 3 phases and we will not know that answer until 16 are played.

I'm still shocked that McCarthy gave up playcalling after saying he would never do that again and in his opening press conference made it sound like he expected to call the plays when asked about it.

Passable? I see you don't apply your high standards to the defense.

26th in turnovers is passable? last in interceptions is passable? 19th in sacks passable?

So the offense disappeared in "many games"? You mean the offense that was #1 in the NFL?

You dont even sound remotely intelligent with this drivel. Try rereading what you write.

Defense played good in 15 games and the offense disappeared in many of them? Ok genius. Lets move on. You clearly arent even capable of talking football.

Dak almost threw for 5k yards last year Splash in the WCO by week 5 and we'll be something formidable.

I hope not. Rather rely on McCarthy. He doesn't bench WR's when the game/division is on the line. :rolleyes:

RIF you need to reread not me. , who said 15 games??? there you go again names, and distorting again, I guess that's your thing, all your condescending banter gets really old and makes you look like a idiot. And yes Einstein that number 1 Offense you keep crowing about disappeared in games , game 15 was just one of them, you know the others. You are looking for a 85 bears D to support your #1 offense against the good teams. Get back to me you know something about football.

LOL............I dont need the 85 bears D. One that wasn't 26th in turnovers would be nice. One that wasn't 19th in sacks would be nice.

Who is the clown that keeps talking about the #1 offense in the NFL like it was a weakness? That would be you pal.

Offense #1, defense #10? Which one is better?

#1 offense, coaching staff that got fire...............which one is better?

#1 offense or worst special teams in football............which one is better?

Duh.................the offense is the reason we were 8-8!!! :lmao2::lmao2::lmao::lmao:

The offense is the one with the same coaches from last year. Kellen was retained and Nussmeier was retained. Not worried about the offense. Defense is my concern.

- i do want a run attack that features much more big play splash runs as well ..as RBs getting the splash plays
in the pass game as well.

- Marc Columbo as run game coordinator did not emphasize that in the run game, ..and Kellen certainly did not provide that
with RBs in the pass game.

- i'm vastly hoping McCarthy's input can provide that with ZKE and Pollard. We don't have pure bell cow backs here.
Imagine the 2016 big play run game combined with last year's vaunted Dak led pass game.

No, McCarthy is really going to rely on Kellen Moore this season while we the fans will hold McCarthy accountable if Kellen Moore screws up. When you delegate authority the way McCarthy is doing, you don't get to delegate the responsibility along with it. It's still McCarthy's offense. If it stinks he's where the buck stops.

We already saw Moore's offense last year.

It gained 5,000 yds playing catchup on games where we were losing and played against a prevent defense that just wanted the offense to choke under the pressure and to stop running Zeke.

This produced 8 wins.

Mike McCarthy proposed to call the plays when he was hired then bailed out.

So now we were supposed to be going WCO but now it's not going to fully get installed.

Everybody is bananas about Lamb..but I think Moore is going be so overwhelmed Lamb will end up being a gadget guy running Jet sweeps and used in a handful of plays instead of being utilized fully.

I hate what I am feeling but there it is.

Moore will be the next OC shown the door due to Dak’s ineptness.

Yup.

OR...the complete opposite extreme and promoted to HC just like Garrett was as Jerry's choice holdover from the Garrett regime.

Garrett part II.
