Twitter: McCarthy: Dak is not in a slump

Anyone that has played sports at any levels know that things like this happen....he's in a funk, but he will bounce back from it. Many of us go through it in everyday life....his defense had his back this week....he'll bounce back!


Come on Ranching you know he has to suck they NEED to be right about what they said before..ITS OF THE UP MOST IMPORTANCE!!!!
 
He's not. The offensive line is.

Can't agree with you. There have been multiple throws Dak has missed where the protection was just fine. The offensive line hasn't been as good as it has needed to be, the receivers have dropped passes, the running game hasn't been near as successful, but Dak has also been off.

It's easy to lame Dak being off on those other factors, but those other factors also are hurt by Dak being off. Hit some of those passes where he has had time and open receivers and the defenses start backing out of the box and putting more players in coverage.
 
The GM and coach now both making sure to defend Dak. It’s not him, it’s the receivers, it’s the o line, it’s the play calling, etc.

the expectations for Dak have always just been too high. He’s a mid range QB and people want to make him into one of the best. Now he’s paid like the best as well, so those expectations are even higher. Being paid more doesn’t increase your ability as a football player though.

This is another example of one of my one liner faves from this board by CaptainCrash. It concerns Jerry's philosophy on giving un-deserved contracts.

I'm paraphrasing a bit but it's "Maybe if I pay him more we'll win."

Too funny yet sad.

But also true.
 
Why do you think Zack Martin is not getting 10 yards downfield on a second level block anymore. I think it’s because he needs to help the center. You can’t run the ball if there aren’t any holes. You can’t pass the ball if they’re playing man coverage safety under because we can’t run. Does anybody understand this freaking game
Very obvious to see. Me thinks many are in denial and still believe this Oline is one of the best in the game. Clearly, it's not.
 
You mean the same center we've had all year?
Yes the same one all year. He’s not holding his blocks any longer is he injured I don’t know. But he’s not doing it. Maybe he hast to help the left guard. You’re not working together how do you not see that
 
I can’t remember the last time there was a clean pocket for Prescott to step up into. No he’s moving left right forwards and backwards
 
I can't remember the last time the offense took the field and I was expecting 6 points.
 
Same thing with us the game went into overtime. We didn’t let it. If you only had a freaking clue

Here is a clue, that was because of our defense not our QB. Brady didn't throw a pick 6 with less than 4 minutes left up by 13, then follow it up with a 3 and out (the 3rd 3 and out in a row wrapped around that pick 6). We ran a total of 11 plays total during the 4 drives wrapped around that comeback.

Buffalo may have come back but Tampa only 3 and outed one time during it. The defense just let Buffalo march down the field time after time.
