I'm no fan of Garrett and Linehan. But it's not like they have a while lot to work with here. We should have destroyed the Saints with this defensive effort but we're held back at the QB position.
Dude, it's obvious that a major problem with the O is Linehan's stubborn resolve to go back to conservative play any time the Cowboys are in the lead. He rarely makes adjustments, and when he does, it's to abandon what has been working to get back to his extremely old-fashioned offensive scheme that everyone and their mother knows how to defend against. Calling a run play on first down about every drive in the second half is called being predictable and it's an offense-killer. That's not on Dak. That's Linehan.
Whether Dak can be a franchise QB or not is up in the air. Him in combination with Linehan is a team-killing concept..... and Linehan has shown over the years that he's not going to change, so why not see what Dak can do?
