Did the offense improve from Kellen Moore?

[Risen Star]

Ya know, Kellen Moore (scapegoat), the guy who gave you the 2nd most productive offense in the league while he was here. We needed to improve on that.

Did we?

The overall points scored says yes, at least from 2022, but not against the better defenses. We were a front running bully offense. When we got smacked in the mouth we folded up shop.

Let's take a look at the PPG and efficiency numbers the Cowboys offense put up with and without Kellen Moore.

Was the offense better without him in 2023? Sure, they scored more points per game. But does that mean anything when those numbers were padded against bad teams and the offense struggled against good teams?

The Cowboys dropped in points per game when facing top 10 defenses and dropped dramatically in Redzone scoring this season.

It was night and day post SF game. Mike should have been calling the offense since the day he was hired.

Philly will see what it’s like. In no way shape or form is Hurts built for Moores offense.

100 percent it improved.

The real question is. How did Moore look with his scheme and a litany of stars in LA including a real franchise QB?

Yes. What we needed was an offense that completely shuts down against top defenses. Good point.

Don't forget about a QB to elevate his game against top teams

Well sure but the Kellen Moore offenses were putting up a lot more points against top 10 defenses than this newly "improved" 2023 version. Same bum QB.

 

[Kwyn]

You guys who responded aren’t playing along.

The inability to not be able to run the football is why. The offensive line is awful at run blocking. And the backs are pretty spare.

The McCarthy fan boys will never not impress me.

And now we get excuses for this super duper improved offense that we should have had all along.

That all must have happened in one year.

 

[Coogiguy03]

How couldn't it?? 70 percent of the offense is still his!! We changed 30% of it!! lol

Ok, ok….it was all Dak’s fault! Lol

Yes Kellen Moore was AWFUL. Those curls still give me nightmares.

 

[phildadon86]

Well sure but the Kellen Moore offenses were putting up a lot more points against top 10 defenses than this newly "improved" 2023 version. Same bum QB.

So how come his offense failed spectacularly against top ten defenses with Justin Herbert who is by no mean a bum QB?

This is the basic criticism you'll ever read from the riff raff. Just garbage baseless accusations. No facts.

The actual production of the offenses tell a different story. One where Moore's offenses didn't fold against better defenses like this one does.

Do you see how he's trying to move the goal posts?

"Well okay, you obviously won't buy our BS about what happened here, so what about somewhere else?

 

[Diehardblues]

Basically under McCarthy we have built a team which can dominate most lesser teams and generally folds against the better teams .

Great strategy since most of the league is below or hovering around .500. Lol

 

[BoyzBlaster]

One thing Moore was great at was designing plays in the red zone which gave Dak an easy (i.e., a throw Dak can reliably make) TD throw. If you watch one of those year end compilations on YouTube it's crazy how often Dak was throwing to a wide open guy in the RZ when Moore was here.

So what happened in LA?

I am not moving anything. I am asking a question.
