this is Jason Garrett's crappy offensive scheme. Its been that way. Our outside wr's barely run in breaking routes. We never really throw over the middle of the field.

This has been painfully obvious throughout the season and why Dallas struggles on offense. This is why I don't think this team is committed to this QB. Our passing game is limited to curls, comebacks, short slants, passes behind the LOS and the occasional deep sideline route. That's not a gameplan you would implement if you intend to move forward with this QB.

Again, COMPLETELY IGNORES the intermediate and deep middle of the field. This is his STANDARD passing chart and reveals how he’s not a progression QB in particular. He’s looking at one side of the field the whole time.
"He’s looking at one side of the field the whole time", while the chart shows throws both left, right and some center throws. :facepalm:

I've said many times, defenses dont have to worry about the middle of the field. Even a lot of the middle of the field passes are curl routes or dump offs to Zeke. All out side the numbers or at best just inside the numbers.

When your new wr complains about 3 straight curl routes in a row tells me he's probably never had to run 3 in a row or at least very few times in his career . That's out to go route.
That falls on the playcalling by Linehan... and Garrett approving it.

what I notice is Dak throws twice as many balls behind or at the line of scrimmage
but otherwise what?

We used to throw over the middle more. But the completions weren't there. I'm fine with simplified field for Dak. Short balls, and long ball along the sidelines. Fewer defenders to worry about.

What happened here is we only took two shots over 20, four shots over 15. Gotta take some long shots or the field gets too short.

Did anyone watch to see how Cooper was taken out of the game?

While I agree, I wonder if its Dak not being very good over the middle that discourages us from throwing there

I think that's what it is. I looked at these charts over a few games. Middle of the field had lots of misses. So we stopped throwing there so much.

If we used Dak as a runner, that would offset some of his limitations as a passer. But Garrett gonna Garrett.

Dak’s obviously averse to interceptions, hence the lack of targets over the middle.

Oh, and the TEs aren’t very good.

If he can get away with safer throws while moving the chains and scoring TDs, then that’s great. The problem is we aren’t scoring TDs in the redzone. Duh.

Hilarious that Dak’s staunch haters think this passing chart was some sort of revelation.

Those could all be first read completions what your insinuating is that because there are throws throughout the field he must be looking everywhere but no they are all probably first read completions

It shows he can’t throw past 20 yards and only does it 1-2 times a game. Also that he hasn’t been very effective when he does throw just garbage yards and completions

Bob Sturm Passing chart one the San Diego game in 2013, Romo threw a lot of passes going to the middle of the field.

Notice who the OC was on this. "Decoding Callahan". This is what I've been saying. Callahan tried to change our scheme and add more WCO concepts. Added more crossing routes to the scheme. JG didn't like it and got Callahan fired.

Under JG, all we mainly run our come back routes and not many horizontal routes.

Especially since all Dak's passes over the middle in that chart are incomplete. Lol

Callahan did not get fired, JG and JJ played some games like refusing to let him interview for things and JG complained about his stubbornness so he left when his contract was up.

There were several reports that mentioned JG and Callan butted heads. They didn't "fire" him but they demoted him from being the OC/OL coach to OL coach and JG brought Lineman in to be the OC/Passing coordinator. They pretty much pushed him out.
