17 INTs In 14 Games Is Not Championship Level Play

[BoysForLife]

The window shut after Jimmy left.

If Neil O'Donnell does not throw two to Larry Brown
Dallas looses that last SB

I wonder if any Steelers fans blamed their OC and receivers for those throws by O'Donnell

 

[John813]

McCarthy and Dak were talking all year that they wanted more aggressive throws. Well, they got that and then some.

Tone down the aggressiveness next year or he'll lead the league in picks again.

More like the Window was nailed and welded shut after Jimmy left.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

The window shut last night.

We are kidding ourselves by thinking that there was any window to begin with.

 

[SwagSurfer]

Dak struggled all year but where was the person to hold him accountable and save him from himself? His leash is way too long and the staff turned a blind eye to it all.

 

[zenmastersauce]

We didn't need elite play at the QB this year. We simply needed smart play.

We didn't need crazy numbers from the QB position this year. We just needed efficiency.

The only consistent thing about Dak is his inconsistency.

We wasted a good defense and now Quinn will be gone and who knows what happens there.

The window shut last night.

Throwing INTs period is not going to get you far but the chances he took this season, some worked some didn't. It's the didn't he has to deal with.

 

[MajesticRey]

Gotta overhaul the offense.

I mean we have good pieces already, it doesn’t need an overhaul unless you’re referring to replacing Kellen Moore ASAP and obviously Dak once it’s financially feasible.

 

[RS12]

Look I think Moore is at best an average OC but come on, are the people who are blaming him watching the games? Do some of you really believe he walks up to the QB and says "you know what buddy, it would be great if you would continue to throw into double and triple coverage". Or maybe Moore tells Dak "make sure when you are throwing those sideline routes that you stare at those WRs only, hold the ball, wait for them to come open, then throw". Its just sad.

 

[Havic]

Defense gave the blue print to beat the 49ers. They showed up to play. This is who Dak is, he is simply not good enough to take this team far. He has proven it time and time again.

 

[USArmyVet]

.....you left out smart OC in that recipe for success.

Now we don't need Moore to toss passes.....we saw that in Dallas. Question: If you have an understudy performing a job under your responsibility but continually failing, when do you get asked...."USArmyVet, what is going on? or How can this be corrected USArmyVet?"

And since there is some military to your name....."When does the General stop hearing you speak about the junior person without asking you what are you doing about it?"

If, under your hypothetical, the General (JJ) asks the Lt. (Moore) why is the unit failing, typically the question is asked of the squad leader (Dak) did he successfully carry out the plan as written up....and while there is no doubt that plans can be flawed, ultimately it comes down to the squad leader and in this case the squad leader continues to fail to carry out the plan effectively and efficiently.

 

[Whyjerry]

The issue is that Dak is our guy for 2 more years. Can’t trade him. Can’t easily replace him. I don’t know enough about the prospect pool but doubt a future star is available at the end of round 1. I do trust McCarthy with developing a QB so maybe it’s time to spend a couple draft picks to find one. One thing is for sure Moore needs to go. He is terrible and not helping the situation.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I know you're upset as we all are, but me knowing and seeing Dak isn't a good QB like many others here saw to doesn't give me pleasure. I only talked about him a lot because I knew he would be the downfall as he always is.

I am a Cowboys fan and the reason I bash Dak is because he is a big reason why the Cowboys can't get anywhere. I will bash any player that I feel is holding this team back.

Dak isn't the only issue, but when you don't get smart QB play you're not going anywhere.

Hopefully you've seen the light now.

Dak is not an elite QB. he is what he is. your constant non stop obsession with Dak is starting to be some what worrisome.
you have proven yourself to not have any football knowledge, unable to dig into any stats, plays, schemes etc. and you I guess smartly stay away from those type of discussions as its above you.
instead you focus on TMZ aspect of football, which at best makes you like a beat writer (except you don't write, you just complain).

you Bash Dak, because he lives on your mind. the only thing on your mind, because the game is above your level of understanding and the little neuances get lost on you. given your single obsession, its easy to understand why you want to only blame one person. one player, for an entire generation waste of a team and lack of success.

I have seen the light. it shines on Jerry jones. the only single person responsible for this mess, which part of it is Dak, prior was Romo, prior was bunch of others.

let the hate of Dak go from your heart. like I said, you are too singularly obsessed. again, quite worrisome that you fail to be able to talk about anything else and on that, can't even provide any level of details to explain your reasons behind it.

yeah yeah yeah, your next comment is something about emotions, blah blah blah...like clock work.

USArmyVet....I asked if it were you, not the mess at The Star (that's the problem already).

I am an Air Force Vet.......every time my members assigned in supervisory opinions came into my office whining about this, whining about that, regarding one of their junior members......when I asked "What are you doing about it?".......the moment they gave me a poor answer or excuse........foot was coming out their rear-end. I.E.....if you are granted responsibility (OC), at some point I have to ask......"What are you doing to fix the issues?" No more passes, no more excuses to the supervisor (OC), before I decide to remove from top to bottom.

 

[Sydla]

And before anyone starts the "well WR A was to blame for that interception, and WR B was to blame for that interception" note that all QBs have interceptions that aren't their fault. Further, note all the interceptions that were dropped as well. Take last night, Dak completely missed Greenlaw late and threw the ball right into his breadbox only to have it dropped.

Reality is that Dak was way too loose with the ball this year. He has to clean that up.

While I agree, clearly it's impossible to compare our military experience with that of the Dallas organization primarily because Moore is handcuffed in what he can viably do by JJ and Dak's contract.

That said, Dak was applauded for his record-setting pace in 2020 before his injury and his career-best 2021....Moore clearly had a hand in that....2022 falls solely on Dak as something is clearly wrong with his head which effects his mechanics and now most sports figures are calling Dak out for it and even Parsons, in a post-game interview, in essence said the defense played well enough to win but for the 2 costly turnovers.

And he's throwing interceptions on our end of the field. We can't overcome that.

 

[Sydla]

The first interception was bad because as you said, it was in our territory. But the D bailed him out and held them to three.

The 2nd interception was worse because not only did it cost us 3, or maybe 7, but it gave the 49ers enough time to move down the field and get 3. That play was possibly a 10 point swing.

 

[khiladi]

I told you guys, if you want to see a real QB play under a garbage OC that can’t play call to save his life, watch Herbert in San Diego. It’s like watching Jason Garrett all over again, but Herbert has way more upside that Romo ever did. And Herbert’s roster was decimated all year long.

Kellen Moore has been working miracles with his QB. If he has a guy like Herbert with the type of pass protection Dak has been getting, this offense would give defenses nightmares.

 

[khiladi]

You don't need a unicorn. Purdy isn't a unicorn. He just doesn't play stupid.

We had the defense finally.

We're literally a QB away. Well, this year we was at least.

everything Dak does on the field is slow and lacks fluidity. Even comparing him to Purdy last night, this was obvious. Guys like Purdy, let alone Kirk Cousins play the QB position more fluidly.

He should have had the pick 6 as well, on the second to last drive. And again, it’s the same route defenders have been jumping all year and getting picks.
