McCarthy Stinks As An OC

[rnr_honeybadger]

On top of that, other than last year, he hasn't been a interception machine his whole career

When the pressure mounts and it is up to Dak to make a play he throws INT's. His whole career barring last year was one where the team didn't require him to step up in the big moments. When he does, he crumbles. We saw it through two games against the 9-ers. You saw it again yesterday.

 

[GINeric]

Yes. His IQ was so low the Cowboys had the top red zone offense the past 2 years before he left. A true imbecile.

Because we now see how much better the red zone offense is now. A true force

Our offense flourished INSPITE of Moore.

Again.... if Moore was so good... why didn't other GMs from other teams try to come pluck him off of the Cowboys for his services??

When Moore was released from the Cowboys, where were all the coaches and GMs who realized he was so good, they just had to have them on their team?

Name me 4 or 5 teams that tried to hire Moore's trash ***.

I'll wait....

HE signed with the Chargers almost immediately after leaving the Cowboys.

Moore left the Cowboys because McCarthy wanted to call plays.

Within 48 hours, he was employed by the Chargers

Check Justin Herbert's stats. He passed for over 400 yards yesterday. Their defense sucks

LOL, just wanted to get your attention. Yeah, he's kind of the problem but there is another big issue here.

McCarthy stinks as an OC. His play calling is at times peculiar, bland, abysmal and perplexing. The RZ play calls range anywhere from bizarre to just stupid.

I went back during the game and watched a handful of plays and the number of plays we run where all our receivers run like 5 yard curls and digs at the same time is mindnumbing. Now when you add that to the fact Dak also likes to dink and dunk when uncomfortable, you get a mindnumbling bad offense. A buddy who is a coach (granted at a much lower level than the NFL) pointed out during the game how bland and vanilla we are inside the 20. We have no rub routes, no crossing routes designed to create some confusion/congestion. We don't scheme guys open like a lot of teams do. We are predicated largely on the defense making a mistake or a receiver making a contested catch.

Remember, McCarthy had arguably one of the greatest QBs of all time in Rodgers and underachieved as the OC. To the point, I believe, he gave up playcalling.

To think he's not a problem here and just rant about Dak or the WRs or the OL or whatever is stupid. Downright stupid. McCarthy is a major, major problem.

How did the Arizona game differ from the first two with regard to the OC & play calling?

I'd rather look at the W and L columns.

I wasn't all that impressed with how we looked offensively in the first two games either. The defense just stifled both the Jets and Giants.

 

[Kevinicus]

I’m sorry but there is only ONE reason when you are down 2 TDs and you run on 70% of your snaps….you don’t trust your QB. When the game is on the line, you had more faith in 3 backup linemen pushing for your RB than you did for your QB.

How do I even process that?

Well, they did have 185 yards rushing.

I just thought those stupid curls routes would have stood out to me via PTSD if I saw that insanity again.

 

[HungryLion]

Nah, I think you can still judge. I mean with Dak, some of Moore's offenses lit up the scoreboard but there was still something off, especially when facing better teams.

McCarthy is just not a great OC. And by the way, when it was announced he would be the one replacing Moore last February, there were A LOT of questions and concerns about him from beat writers, analysts, etc. Even some former players kind of scratched their heads. Rodgers basically called him a dunce.

So I am not sure why we are going to ignore that, ignore the fact he flamed out in GB as a play caller, couldn't get a gig for a year (and in that time, a first time HC in LaFleur was able to coach Rodgers to two MVPS and two NFCCGs) but assume he's actually quite good but Dak is ruining him.

Sean Payton flamed out at an OC in NY before Parcells hired him.

Flaming out happens to a lot of coaches. Andy Reid flames out in Philadelphia.

It’s more about the players than the coaches. You need to marry the right coaches with the right players to ultimately succeed at a championship level.

Now there's a high end analysis!

This is why you reach inaccurate conclusions

The Chargers are 1-2, It's all that matters. Somehow people think Moore got a promotion.

McCarthy ain't even close to Reid in terms of coaching acumen.

I am pretty surprised how many people are quick to defend McCarthy. He's a goober. Another mediocre hire in a very long line of mediocre hires by Jerry Jones.

I’m not saying he is as good as Reid. I’m saying if you’re gonna use him “flaming out” in Green Bay as a strike against him. You have to account for the fact that a lot of coaches flame out in various locations for various reasons.

Well Dak threw for tons of yards when Moore was here, but I was told those stats don't matter for him.

So we have to keep the same energy for Herbert, especially because he has yet to win a playoff game.

Mike is doing it his way, if he fails he should be responsible.

 

[KMY_Amber]

When the offense was dinking and dunking in the 1st 2 weeks, settling for FGs, the message by many was that McCarthy is purposely calling a conservative game because the Dee was so dominant. He was saving his best plays for later, he's setting up plans for future opponents.

And then when the defense wasn't dominant, the offense stunk it up in the key moments, still dinking and dunking, still stalling in the RZ.

Now, I will cut Dak and McCarthy some slack with all the injuries within the o-line, but all the more reason to pull out some play designs to get people open, to offset the o-line challenges. And I just didn't see enough to trust Mike (nor Dak) this year to score when they need to.

And I don't believe this defense is going to have sacks and TOs every game, so then what do we have? An average-ish team, with some star players sprinkled in here and there...led by a coach who doesn't realize that you can simply take the points in the 3rd quarter, to build momentum, to put pressure back on the opponent. It all looks like a team not ready for the Big Time, which isn't shocking, because they haven't been ready in 30+ years.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Equally hard when you have no skiill as a playcaller to begin with.

McCarthy is a boob. We are screwed.

He keeps showing people who he really is.

People should believe him.

Same for the GM. Failure head coach after failure head coach hire.

We are ranked 27th in the red zone.
