I was just waiting…
Moore started off 3-0 here, including Dak throwing for over 400 yards and 4 TDs against the Giants in 2019. But by the Miami game, even though the offense poured it on when Moore went up-tempo, Dak was complete garbage the first half. Then Dallas went into a tail-spin with his garbage play, until they beat up some really bad teams that made his fan-boys think he was “elite”.
Anybody that thought the offense didn’t take a step down with the departure of Moore was just trying to find validate in the scapegoat argument. They actually look worse. Anytime you got to dumb down an offense, when you gave a top-tier RG, you are mediocre. This is not like an elite QB getting help from the RG type of situation.
Dallas was 21st in the red-zone last week and they probably took a major step down. Dallas was FIRST last year and SIXTH the year before. They played two horrible offenses two games prior to today, one of them against Zach Wilson. When you get out to big leads against bad offenses because of a top-tier defense, there is zero pressure as a QB to perform. This has always been Dak’s MO,
His problems are when the game is slow, decisions have to be made that have greater consequences and he has to play from behind. He is mentally slow. The guy just sits there staring. He stares down his early reads. His horrible accuracy on large part because he is slow and needs to see his WRs open.
This guy should have apparently had a pick 6 last week, was aided by some questionable calls to keep drives alive and just dumb penalties by the Jets players. His INT again, into triple coverage, staring his WR down the whole time was again evidence of how bad he is.
Nothing of the first two games told us anytime about this Cowboys team other than Dak being the crutch once again. His fanboys were yapping the glory of McCarthy on a pick play in a bunch formation to Lamb, as if Moore wasn’t running plenty of bunch formations. This is how much they’ve been grasping at straws trying to find some validation for Dak.
He’s on YEAR 8. Even Moore was working with him for three prior years, meaning when he came into the picture as OC, it wasn’t some new thing where he was completely oblivious to his tendencies or even how the overall offense was working.
