Does Doug Nussmeier deserve some of the blame?

I did. Thought he should be the first to go. Dak has regressed and I believe it is mostly from patronizing him and not coaching him. Everybody is a Dak fan like Jerry who I am sure plays the biggest role with player coddling in Frisco On the practice field coaches need to be truthful and not blow smoke. There was too much talk about how hard Dak works and his first in last out contribution to practice. That is all well and good, but give me some substance with what he has done to improve himself, which by all accounts is nothing where it matters most.

I was thinking this during all the Moore bashing on here lately. There are a lot of shots of Nussmeier talking with Dak on the sidelines. Isn’t he the one to show Dak what he is missing? If I was looking to help the QB a new QB coach might be were I would look first.

Never liked the hire he was terrible at Florid.

He goes hand in hand with Moore. Along with the whole offensive staff outside of Philbin

Nope all Dak I heard it there from experts

....outside of Philbin? I think he should be looking over his shoulder right now. Saving grace.....shuffled all seasons, but the middle is like an open door, at times. Rook needs to learn to finish blocks with some mean intentions. Sack, late in game was a result of unfinished effort. Bring in Erik Williams' film.......to show the Rook where we need to be, in the next season. Heavy lifting and a picture in the Rook's locker to see every day.

I've certainly talked about Nussmeier plenty. Of course he should be gone. When the most important player on your team is not improving except during the offseason when he's working with the "QB guru" and not the coaching staff on the team it says a lot. But truth be told the biggest to me will always be Moore. His lack of "feel" for play calling extends to his apparently not noticing when his QB is having an off day or just needs a series or two to settle down. That lack of feel is my #1 criticism of Moore. The mishandling of the first half on Sunday alone should get him fired and put McCarthy on notice. Up to that stupid INT you can control of the game and were about to take a lead into half and be getting the ball. Yet because Moore once again got caught up trying "go for the kill shot" you not only don't get points but you hand the ball and momentum back to the other team. STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!

Digging really deep to absolve Dak for being who he always was…

We definitely need an upgrade. I never saw him or KM coaching up Dak on the sideline

Because Prescott was a fraud long before he arrived and Cooper Rush played as well as he could possibly play when he took an 0-1 team to 4-2.

Jon Kitna was a better QB coach. Nussmeier is a good example of why you can't go from player to OC. He doesn't have any ties or connection to other coaches he can hire, be on the same page, and run things the way he needs them done. This mix and match offensive staff needs to go. Get 1 OC and let him hire his own staff.

Very much worth the discussion, but judging a QB coach from the outside looking in is terribly tough to do. So far we have lumped McCarthy, Moore, Nussmeier into the Dak blame. Prior to that it was Garret & Linehan. If I had a job where I went through manager after manager because they weren't very good eventually the company is going to come back and figure out that I'm the issue.

Also do we give Nussmeier any credit for Cooper Rush? Does he get any credit for Dak having the best statistical stretch of his career in 2020 before the injury?

I'm not completely opposed to looking at a position coach and pointing fingers, but it's easier to do with a Dline coach for example where you have failure after failure.

What credit should we give him? Rush came out and executed a training wheels game plan and guided the team so a bottom 10 offensive output which was only made viable by the defense playing out of its mind. Now I have said many times that the smart thing for the Cowboys would have been to use that exact same gameplan with Dak all the while knowing that if need be they could unleash 400 yard 3 TD Dak at any time. But they did not need that guy every week. So it remains a mystery why they kept slingin the rock like they did. There's a disconnect somewhere.. and it needs to be fixed.

Absolutely. 100%

 

[bewp7]

no

it does not matter who the qb coach is

there is not a coach on earth who can fix a qb with zero football iq and instinct

u have it or u dont and dak does not

all u can do is ask a idiot qb to do as little decison making as possible and make it as simple as possible and stack talent around them which is why u do not give big money to stupid qb

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Bring back kitna

 

[J_Allen]

Yes and I don't know how that guy has any job in the nfl. He looks loaded at all times.
