Was listening to a show on Fox sports while driving home.

1. McCarthy does not play to the strengths of his receivers
2. Bland, basic play calling
3. Needs to be more creative with play design to get receivers open
4. Everyone knows when a run is coming
5. If you know Dak needs to get the ball out of his hands, run routes that allow that to happen

He didn't absolve Dak or the receivers.

1. Dak needs to know when to kill a play. He does things an 8-year vet should not be doing.
2. Receivers need to fight for the ball and get more separation. Dallas receivers are the third worst in the league in getting open.

But...Dak and the receivers are only running the plays called by McCarthy.

They brought up Aaron Rodgers thoughts as well: "I had to bail him out (MM) when the situations got tough. He made one wrong play call after another. He is the lowest IQ offensive coach I ever worked with."

Take heart fellow fans, we are not the only ones ripping McCarthy apart.
70 percent.. I'd say that is about right.

LOL yourself at thinking McCarthy is actually quality being held back by Dak.

They both are failing.
I don’t think one person has said Dak is holding McCarthy back. Your arguing points that don’t exist.

The biggest problem with the offense is that Dak Prescott is not a good QB. He is too slow at reading the field and knowing what to do with the ball.

Any OC that comes here is not implementing the offense the way he wants it. He is designing it and calling plays around the limitations of the QB.

I love Mike but he ain’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed

I think this is a case of 2 independent things can be correct at the same time.

McCarthy: I hold Kurt Warner in high regard and also Irvin. If they’re saying the offense scheme is a problem then it’s a problem. That problem needs to be addressed.

Prescott: Dak has been here 8 years and has a consistent pattern of playing poorly in big games. He also lacks arm strength, accuracy, mobility, and has trouble with TOs. That’s a problem that needs to be addressed. Dak is not a guy that can elevate his game to the occasion or elevate his team mates. Garrett, Moore, and now McCarthy all can’t be blamed for Dak’s struggles.

I feel that Dak is not the guy and that’s one independent true fact. Also Garrett, Moore and McCarthy are not great OCs, which is also an independent fact. This is a scenario we’re 2 independent truths are active at the same time. And one doesn’t excuse the other.

Richard Sherman also said Mike McCarthy's plays, designs, schemes and playbook is old, antiquated and so not able to get his receivers open especially against today's tougher opposing defenses.

McCarthy bet on himself here.

He’s just as much a buffoon and is coaching himself right out of the NFL.
He already did that once. Jerry brought him back. That's the same GM who actually gave Dave Campo a job again, because he felt sorry for him.

First off dak is dak. Nothing you can do about that.

But as I said, the day we hired him, McCarthy is a fraud.

Except when we heard it with Kellen it was from people somehow not satisfied with being one of the top 3 offenses in football during his entire tenure. They somehow thought an offense should score 30 points every single game no matter who the opponent is. Those people are delusional.
Well against the 49-ers the "top 3 offense" scored 12 points.

And McCarthy is calling the dumbed-down offense for Dak. I told you guys it took Dak a week in year 3 in training camp to throw a TD in the “new Dak friendly offense” and you expect him to light it up. Guy is a mental midget.

Can't stand when Dak doesn't get rid of it. It's like he's not aware his legs are not rookies. Then, we're back 10 yards.
He ALWAYS held on to the ball too long. His OL was just that good in his early days, he could sit back there all day and scan the field.

I just want to point out that the Playmaker was riding these guys's jocks pretty hard week 1-2.
All these people were. I said it was just a matter of time when the defense doesn’t spot Dak a huge lead and they aren’t playing a garbage QB. The offense looked worse, especially Dak in the red zone.

These guys need to defense their opinions they’ve been talking about for the last couple years as well.

Lol

If that makes you feel better….
The truth? It does.

He made all pro once in his career. 2014 and it was second team all pro.

Remind me again. Who play OL that year and who was the rushing leader?

The truth shall set you free.

The guy wasn’t even all pro with prime Witten and TO on his team with one of the best OL in football.

Keep lying to yourself and making Romo out to be some hero. He and Dak are the same. Good to great regular season QBs who can’t get it done when it matters and have mind blowing plays that either win you a game or cost you a game.

One easy way to shine some light on where the problems lie. Put Rush in.

If the offense at least becomes functional, then it proves that MM's design is valid.
