Dak is a liability now, he cannot be trusted to take care of the ball. That means we are going to have to start being way more conservative and rely on the running game and defense to win.

Dak has to be managed like he is an undrafted rookie, that means pretty much only "safe throws" where the pass is either completed or incomplete. No more of these sideline routes that are pick 6s every dam week. No more short passes over the middle where the LBs are just sitting on the routes, no more throws into tight windows, just cut his reads down to one half of the field to simplify everything.

Yeah, it sucks that you have to baby your $40 million dollar QB because he cant stop turning the ball over, but it is what it is. Since we cant get rid of him due to his contract, we are going to have to manage him way more next season because he is too much of a liability to just let him be aggressive, those day are over.

What are we going to do?
Put a shock collar on him?

They way to manage him is to bench him, make him the league's highest-paid backup. And you start whatever stop-gap veteran you're able to sign, while you draft a QB. Basically, do what the team should have done when Dak was asking for too much money, except that back then you let him walk.

It was a problem all year but since we were winning it didn't matter. Told people it's going to bite us in the playoffs against better competition. Well no surprise.
Exactly................you cannot turn the ball over in the playoffs, you just cant.

San Francisco did not lose a single game this year when they won the turnover ratio, yesterday they won the ratio 2-1

There's really no managing stupidity. The only thing you can do is put him on the bench so he can't hurt the rest of the team. So we'll have a $42 million benchwarmer. Out freaking standing.

We lose the game even if Dak doesn’t throw any ints.. but you are still right
