Which one is the biggest problem on O?

Hey, it's just one game, way too soon to conclude anything, but it's just funny that Coop found open receivers all day and Dak couldn't. Suddenly we were able to run the ball. Why?

When you call the run more often it has more opportunity to be successful and impact the passing game. Funny how that works.

lol..again diferent defense but yeah if you think Rush is a better NFL QB, bet your house on it.

I don't think he is better...but I really do think it's a lot closer then most fans realize. That throw Cooper threw to Brown on the crossing route in the first drive that he threw before Brown was even open was a throw Dak just doesn't throw.

KellMo. His game plans are vanilla and just down right horrible.
I still don't understand why this proud franchise has an offensive coordinator who is learning on the job.
If we had decent coaching on offense, and this team is playoff bound and farther with Quinn's defense.
MM is simply a figurehead. He doesn't have enough power to even factor into the discussion of who is the biggest problem.
Dak is just a symptom. Until he gets a great coordinator, he'll be what he is.

Order list of our biggest problems

1. Dak (he’s gotten many people fired, cut, and traded. Don’t get me wrong, Kellen and MM suck. But they aren’t the reason this team is drastically different from 2016 and onward. Dak has essentially gotten an entire coaching staff fired, multiple players kicked off and traded, all because of his ineptitude and greed by taking up majority of the cap.

2. Kellen Moore. Dude sucks and is extremely boneheaded but seems to call mostly good plays when Rush is in. It could be that KMO actually calls good plays but Dak screws them up so bad that it makes KMO look bad. Dak cannot read a defense for his life, much like Goff. Dak also panics (perhaps he has anxiety?) often in the pocket and has horrible footwork and biomechanics.

3. MM. sucks too. He’s just there so I won’t rag on him much. Not really a “winner” in that he’s not like McVay or Belichick or Tomlin who instill toughness and wins into their players regardless of their situations. He does absolutely nothing, which means he doesn’t screw up, but he certainly doesn’t help. Sucks at time management. Whatever. If he gets fired, I won’t care. But Dak needs to be the first to go.

I don't necessarily think Rush is better than Dak.. they are both not NFL standard QBs.. the difference is that one isn't burning 40M of cap space. Dak is the biggest flop in recent history.. and we've had a few. Still can't believe we paid stupid money, league money, for a dud that can literally be outshone by a 3rd tier back up.

Moore is legit useless.. worst play caller in the league.. or at least near worst. Truly horrible.

MM is bad because he lets Moore continue to call plays. Needs to step in and take over play calling or force Jerry to find a new OC. If you can't see how bad moore is calling your O.. then you don't deserve to be HC.

With Pollard. Zeke kept churning out a yard or 2 per run. Also, they're not Tampa.

Dak has no confidence! That's the problem when he's playing, and that's before we even get into his weaknesses.

Kellen has no real feel for playcalling, and MM needs to help him no matter if Jerry told him to leave Kellen alone.

You sure? That sounds like a lot of conjecture.

Kellen Moore and Zeke are clearly the biggest problems on offense. Its not even close. Line played good enough to win today.

Lol... this should be fun. Rush is decisive. Mistake or not lets it go with his soft arm. Brady never ever had a big arm .

As is usually the case, it’s multiple things. First, that buccaneers D is a lot better than the bengals D. Cooper Rush played very well and deserves great credit. But DCs will be taking notes and usually it gets harder to be consistently good week after week.

Rush has certainly proven he is a very serviceable backup. Is he starter level? IMO, no way. He doesn’t have much arm strength or pocket escapability. Can he win us a couple of games Yes. Thankfully. But the anointing oil I’m seeing today is humorous.

As to running the ball, our OL is growing. I’m impressed with Tyler Smith and Farniok was decent today as was Steele. Our OL took a step forward today for sure.

Has Kellen Moore shown growth? Today was better obviously. I like his usage of Tony Pollard today. I like that he didn’t get too conservative. But it’s a long season. We’ll see.
