#1, I blame the Offensive coaching staff, especially Garrett, with his basic and simplistic passing attack his failure to make adjustments during the game or making the wrong adjustments during the game. After watching Philly’s O during the Superbowl it is obvious we do not have a coach that can take us to the big game.
While I agree that pederson is a better coach and a "play to win and risk it all" type of coach , he would never have an Alex Smith/ Dak Prescott type of QB as a starter...
A coach can call a "risky" fade route into single coverage on 3rd down all he wants , but if he has a QB that is only concerned with avoiding INTs and keeping a high completion percentage, his "scheme" will look like trash . Dak is the type of QB that sees single coverage on 3rd down and long and would rather dump it off, get the completion, and hope to pick up a first down.
In Dak's mind, throwing checkdowns is better because a long throw is a 50 50 proposition, and has a chance to get picked off. Sure, a checkdowns will more than likely result in a punt, but it will give Dak a good completion percentage and 6 yards instead of 0 from an incompletion...
Look at Alex Smith's career arc.. same QB, different name. You just can't win with that type of QB..
