Is it the scheme or the QB?

It's Dak.

McCarthy is just the next scapegoat.

If that was the case Dak would've been extended by now. I think they talked before the season about eating the cap hit on Dak.

We can only hope.

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

Then we haven't had a QB with the "it" factor since Aikman.

 

[NumOneQB]

Think it’s both. Maybe Magic Mike gets his QB in here in a few years?

Great OP.
And to that, Linehan/Garrett and Moore would like a word.
But sssshhh...
Cuz McCarthy would too.(but just cant admit it publicly)
LOL

all I know is while watching the game, when the ball from Purdy was in the air, you just knew it was hitting a receiver at the right moment coming open.

When a Prescott ball was in the air, you kinda felt like "I hope this one is close to a receiver"

 

[charron]

It's both.

 

[75boyz]

It's both.

Totally agree.

its the qb

it is very hard to scheme for a qb with zero football iq and zero vision and zero anticipaton

it is also hard to surrond the qb with talent when he eat up 20% of the entire cap by himself

and u have to surrond the qb with talent because he cant elevate any one and rely on the talent around him to do any thing

which is the exact opposite of a franchise qb btw wich is why paying him is stupid wich i said from the start a long time ago

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?

both are bad and probably will leave together hand in hand after jerry sees the truth . Dumming down the west coach offense to accomodate dak's abilities did not work , and it was obvious the 49ers offensive genius Shanahan has Quinn's number from their days at Atlanta where Shanahan was the OC.

 

[Captain-Crash]

it's not my dak, I'll show you some stats.

 

[jblaze2004]

He doesn’t have the iq like Romo

But he has just as many playoff wins as Romo and has better playoff stats then Romo. And there regular season stats are pretty similar.

 

[EenonyMoose]

What McCarthy is running right now doesn't look even remotely like a modern west coast scheme. Dak is who he's always been -- serviceable-to-good when circumstances are favorable, and often a liability when they aren't.

After last night, I think we finally have enough data to conclude that it's time to hit the reset button and rebuild the offense from scratch. There's no amount of window dressing that can take this thing anywhere, and the more you try to force it, the more years you're ultimately setting yourself back.

 

[Sarge]

Scheme is limited because of the quarterback. They haven’t even used the entire playbook yet because presumably Dak is limited in his abilities, both physically as well as mentally. He not the sharpest tool in the box.

 

[32BellyOption]

It’s the QB. A pig with lipstick is still a pig.

 

[Captain-Crash]

why don't we go back to curls and sit-down routes? dak can almost hit them. Run out 6 yards and turn and run back 3 and sit down for some bombs.

 

[RonnieT24]

The QB didn't play a single snap on defense that I noticed..

 

[Captain-Crash]

or offense

 

[morat1959]

They isn’t a scheme that Dak can flourish in. He is what he is.
