Is it the scheme or the QB?

[WillieBeamen]

Who is more to blame, the scheme or the QB?

I see alot of fans blame mccarthy and his wco for the offensive performance tonight but coming into this game, the offense was one of the best at sustaining drives and getting into the redzone. However, tonight was pathetic.

Are receivers really not open or is the QB too scared to attack the MOF?

It’s the scheme and the QB.

 

[Cas2800]

Dak does not show up for big games. He always looks rattled and unconfident. How can anyone play with confidence when you see him so rattled and unsure.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

It's both.

 

[cald0d30s0]

Both.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

It's Dak.

McCarthy is just the next scapegoat.

 

[Sarek]

Scheme is limited because the QB is very limited.

 

[WorkingMan2022]

It's on the QB, 100%. The guy just does not have the "it" factor. He's just average at best.

McCarthy is just the next scapegoat.

bingo. A Cowboys writer on BTB highlighted a McCarthy led Packers team against Steve Wilkes led defense a few years and it was WAY more competent than what we saw tonight

You scheme around your players and matchups. When there is a weak link at QB, it is very hard to scheme around.
Only thing worked this season: take the early lead and let defense take over. Were we behind -- we fukked.

Herbert seems to be doing fine with Moore. I think Dak is limited with his mechanics and what he can do. Slow release, inaccurate, poor arm strength, etc...

 

[Tabascocat]

Both but Dak can’t run that offense. The QB needs to be able to read quickly and lead the receivers for YAC. I blame MM for making him try this scheme but I also understand that he had to go in another direction because it wasn’t working under KM, particularly against tough teams.

It is mainly a QB problem.

Jason Garrett, Kellen Moore and now Mike McCarthy

Whoever is calling plays next year will be the new scape goat.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

It’s been the QB for 8 years.

 

[KMY_Amber]

Scheme is limited because the QB is very limited.

This is true.

And also what may be true is that the QB is limited because the scheme is limiting him.

Both may be true.

The QB's skills are limited, and McCarthy's play designs and playcalling are vanilla and basic (thus, limiting for a QB, unless you have a QB with an arm like Rodgers who can bail an OC out).

There's only so much you can do with Dak at QB.

Hes had how many schemes now?

I remember when romo basically started to ignore Garretts plays and just call his own and then the offense started cooking.

IF its scheme, why doesnt Dak try that out instead of suffering with 3 bad schemes?

It's so many things on so many different levels.

He doesn’t have the iq like Romo
