It's not getting smarter but changing behavior through coaching. Brett Favre led the NFL in INTS the year before MM got to GB with 29.
The first year under MM it went down to 18 then 15 the following year. Favre then went to the Jets and led the NFL in INTS again his first year with the Jets. Favre didn't get smarter for two years under MM then went stupid again with the Jets. He was coached better on not throwing INTS under MM.
McCarthy gets no credit from me.. The guy is a quack. I
Having said that, if coaching is everything, why didn't anybody coach Romo out of trying to be a hero? The only reason Dak started in 2016 was because Romo was trying to make a play and be a hero in a meaningless pre season game. Romo was 36 years old and 13 year vet at the time.. Old habits never die. Maybe at the college level, i might believe you that coaching matters, But as i said, at some point you are what you are as a QB.
The best example of this is Fitzmagic. He can play good, disciplined football for a few games but eventually he resorts back to his old habits and starts throwing picks and he unravels.
The same thing happens to Dak too.
