It seems like his time here has started to run its course but it's tough to get a read on him. If the offense fails in the playoffs and we don't see any adjustments that would have to fall under the offensive minded HC's jurisdiction, no? That said, any coordinator worth the title should be able to use this talent and draw up a scheme at the very least, threatens opposing defenses.
I just wonder about the game plan every week. We have so many weapons but sometimes it feels like there is no direction. Aaron Rodgers and his HC go into a game with the thought process of we are going to get Adams the ball 20 different ways. If you stop that then we'll beat you with the other guys but only until we know you can stop Adams. Same thing with Burrow and Jamarr Chase. Coop is the best receiver. We should be going into the game thinking how can we build a game plan around getting him the ball and then after the D commits resources to stopping him and actually do it, then we let the other guys eat. If you are rolling coverage over to Amari that should mean the box is light (run it) or they are willing to live with Ceedee or Shultz one on one(then get it to them quickly). But there has to be a No. 1 in terms of gameplay and Targets.

Hard to tell if he's changed his scheme because of injuries, MM, or just because the league caught up to him and he's not experienced enough to adjust. I blame MM if the league caught up to him, MM should step in, if he hasn't already....Hell, maybe it's MMs fault?
My question for discussion, being that Moore has gotten some HC attention, if our offense doesn't show up in the playoffs, Dak won't be benched, will we move on from KM? Will he be the scapegoat?
Do we have a QB to be able to run his offense well?Is the O scaled back because injuries?What happened to motion and misdirection?

I’d be surprised if he’s back next year…nor should he.

I know it’d be a long shot…but I’d contact Romo about the OC job. I think he’d listen. Romo is competitor…the chance to be part of a championship he might consider…

It all depends on the Oline, Coach.

If the Oline can start off firing on all cylinders and creating holes for Zeke and Pollard, that will greatly help Dak and our WRs get going on play-action, etc. It also would help this Offense use time to wear down our opponent while keeping our Defense fresh and hungry on the sideline.

Dak played great last year and this year before his calf injury.....KM called great plays....many questions and not many answers.

That's where it always starts. .

I've seen many of your posts to know you aren't a troll by any means, and I don't think what you meant to say was as crazy as it might have looked (to me, at least), but how in God's name can you blame Fat Mac for Kellen Moore's lack of creativity and inability to adjust in-game??? It's literally as if MM can't win with the fans and critics.

When the team did well, it was 100%, SQUARELY because Dan Quinn and/or Kellen Moore did a dynamic job, usually in SPITE of McCarthy, with no credit at all going to MM. However, when we lose and the offense sputters in a way that clearly shows the OC being at fault and getting out-schemed by the opposing DC, it is somehow STILL McCarthy's fault??? Explain that to me please lol because I am at a loss.

The Cowboys will move on from Kellen as soon as Ranching admits his brother is Rockport. There...it is. Line in sand.

Dak played great in garbage time before he got hurt last year.I really think Denver did provide a blueprint on how to defend Dallas.Same thing happened to KC earlier in the year, but they figured it out.Hopefully Dallas can do the same.

Simple as this, responsibility just can't be delegated...

I was a HC for a long time and the game planning and calling was on my shoulders....I allowed my OC to call his game after his 2nd year under me, but I always had final say. That's what I mean, MM is an offensive mind and I feel that like all HC's....He needs to step in when needed.....it think it's needed right now.

Great insight, Ranching...
