hamburger mike after Monday night will have another loss. and Quinn inches closer to being head coach i think a lot of people on this forum is spot on about this. Dak knows defense he just makes real BIG BAD DECISIONS and IN THESE high pressure games it shows real bad so see you next draft because were on the downward slide now probadly picking after we beat some more scrub teams about 14 or 17 in the draft

There were places to go with the ball and Dak wasn’t going to those places with the ball.

Stop blaming the offense when the offense gave him options to make plays.


How about make your reads and throw to open men.
They were discussing the high powered offenses right now like SF, Miami and etc. are using more motion, WR moving and stuff
the MM system is more basic and doesn't use this but me personally I think its a combo of the system and Dak had already
reaches his ceiling and my feelings are Dak declined some after coming back from the foot injury. Even when he runs his speed
is down and movement skills.

For the record— MM using an outdated offensive scheme and Dak being unable to execute effectively are not mutually exclusive.

IMO— it’s both issues working together to wreck this season. MM is relying on an old, predictable scheme, and Dak’s limitations continue to to undermine this offense’s potential.

And JJ’s pride and arrogance keep the FO in blind denial of the issues… So they continue to repeat the same cycle of failure over and over again
You summed this up nicely. I think we have changes coming so get your popcorn ready.

Our next head coach is currently running the defense. And he will do a much better job than the current pillsbury doughboy.
He had problems in Atlanta trying to run the whole show. I watched a utube the other day and wish I could
find it but the guy kept saying I guarantee Prime Time Sanders will be the next coach.

At this point him and Dak can go for all i care.

You know i been supporting Mike since day 1, but he has made some questionable decisions.

1- Hiring Nolan
2- Hiring Schotty
3- Thinking he can fix Dak with this offense

Get one of these innovative offensive minds in here and let him develop Trey

I blame the kicker for not running out and taking the ball from dak and doing a quick kick to keep the game close. Arby you got to do better. Audrey,, Aunt Bee. come on man.

As simple and outdated MM system maybe, Dak still threw 3 interceptions and only has 5 TD passes on the year. I'm not sure if it can be more complex than what it is.

I suspect that to be the case, though I'm curious who he'd bring in as OC. He did have Kyle Shanahan as his OC in Atlanta, so he seems to have a good taste in OC.

Breh, I noticed Mike was off by himself reading his "menu" all game. He is not managing the team on game day anymore. He looked overwhelmed to me on the sidelines trying to call plays.

I think it’s both. Dak makes some bad throws, and McCarthy’s trying to hide it with archaic design.

We need motion! We need a sledgehammer to lead at RB. Pollard is a great complimentary back, but not a lead. We need a true #1 WR—like a Dez or a T.O. Cee Dee is a 2, IMO. We also need a LB and another DT.
I called out MM offense in week one ES, I could see how vanilla his play design was, but I said maybe he's "keeping it close to the vest".

Nope, week in week out I saw the same thing...no innovation, no imagination.

And its painfully obvious that Dak isn't comfortable in this offense, you could see it in his body language and he's a tick slow on a lot of his throws.

Its a bad combo - a QB with issues thats trying to run a crap offense that he doesn't believe in.

BTW thanks Dan and Jeff for confirming my concerns.

So Mikes offense is outdated and Kellen’s Air C from JG and Linny is not? Lol

Problem is, most coaches don't want to work for Jerry.
I know most of us are all up in our feelings right now and understandably so, but I have never heard, or read a quote from any coach anywhere stating they would rather not work under Jerry Jones.
Unless I'm wrong on that front, which could definitely be the case, this kind of statement is just us fans projecting our disgust.

I miss the motion, and the play action. We should use Luepke and more TE, too.

Dak can’t run a more complex scheme with motions, quick reads, etc. it is dumbed down as far as it can be. I’m not saying MM can create a new current offense but wouldn’t matter if he did.
Stop it. We were doing it last year, especially in the beginning of the year until I assume McCarthy pulled the plug on it.

Well described. Dak needs to go. Cooper is a game manager and to me a better choice at this poin

The offense was leaps and bounds better when Dak came back last year.

Do you think the new scheme makes Rush a better choice this season?
