It wasn’t just the defense

[Captain-Crash]

Exploited the middle of the field against a cover 2 look. Look at the TE I believe

Kellen Keller has already given up on him, so they are not much left to do. sad, just sad. us low IQ cowards should be run out of town for hating on the dak.

Purdy has something dak will never have, fast procession speed and fast reactions. shrugs. it is what it is. us haters seen that a long time ago

Dak has NEVER played like Purdy has. Purdy is exploiting the middle of the field against defenses in his first full year, while Dak was Captain Checkdown, relying on Cole Beasley's out routes and against horrible teams. They've had an off-season of tape against Purdy and he has gotten better, while Linehan had to dumb down the offense against after the Denver game, when Aqil Talib had 2 picks. Dak had like 3 pick 6s in the first 4 games of the season in year 2 and when Zeke was suspended for 6 games, he couldn't even put up double digits against any winning team. He struggled against scrubs.

People keep creating narratives around Dak like he was this elite QB that regressed, when in fact, he's always had these warts that were hidden by major talent that surrounded him.

Dak doesn’t see the field well; he may be able to read defenses, but he doesn’t process information quickly; and he is inaccurate.
As another poster pointed out. Purdy was quickly finding his 2nd and 3rd reads and throwing the ball before the WRs were into their breaks, giving the defender less time to react. He was hitting the WRs in stride. SF was using motion to give their WRs a free release.
Why can’t MM incorporate some of that into his WCO? He is either not as smart or creative as people have alluded to, or he has no trust in his QB.

I don't think he is able to read defenses, which is why they've reduced his routes to half the field. He only really throws well against man coverage and when it's zone, he's a hot mess. In his early years, he would take the checkdowns, which prevented TOs and pumped up his completion percentages, but when they told him to throw, he was a talking TO, as he would stare down his WRs.
