Most of the bad decisions McCarthy has made has been due to his lack of confidence in our defense. The fake punt deep in our end was prompted by our defenses inability to stop Washington. In the second half our defense started looking like it did the first half of the season. McCarthy saw that we were getting gashed and knew that with Dalton as his QB there’s little chance of overcoming a two score or more deficit with him. I said a week ago that if we get down by more than a touchdown with Dalton we’re pretty much done. We’ve been thrashed in three games with him as the starter, twice against Washington and once against Arizona. He didn’t play a terrible game on Thursday but he needs a running game and at least a respectable defense to be successful.
He’s a bus driver! Our offensive production and points have plummeted since Dak was injured. We went from the most productive offense in the league that was averaging almost 33 points a game to an average offense. The offense no longer revolves around Zeke. He’s been reduced to a 4 to 10 yard push the pile back. He has no juice! On third and one we went to Pollard. On fourth and inches we threw the ball. Between all Zeke’s fumbles and how he’s being used it makes you wonder about his future after this season. Wouldn’t be surprised to see something go down with him during the offseason unless It would affect our cap negatively. Never thought I would say this but I wouldn’t be opposed to moving on from him if it would save us money.
