Both succeeded in the regular season.
Both were inconsistent, but managed a 12-5 season.
Roll it back in the playoffs.
Inconsistency and a 1-1 record Because we got amazing Dak one week and bad decision Dak the next week. Great play-calling Moore one week and WTH was that Moore the next week.
Fans will blame one or the other to fit their agendas. We’ve already seen those who hate Dak use Moore leaving to further that and vice versa. It’s hypocritical.
Fact…..most fans on this forum, including those who love Dak and hate him, have wanted to get rid of Moore for a long time. He doesn’t understand or value the run game. He calls the most bizarre plays at the most frustrating moments. He doesn’t adopt and implement what other teams are doing successfully in the NFL today. Despite his inconsistencies and lack of answers vs really good defenses, he has produced successful offenses in the regular season that seem to always fail, regardless of the QB play against the best opponents and coaches In the playoffs. Most fans have said every year that they don’t care about regular season stats or even wins until it manifests in the playoffs. Moore failed.
My opinion…..Dak has played most of his career as an above average QB who reads defenses well and is capable of great performances when he has a little run game and weapons. He has, like Romo, often seemed at his best in the hurry up offense, when he is running plays he trusts and that play to his strengths. That’s why, until this season, most NFL experts and former players have consistently rated him as top half of NFL QBs (despite the ”experts” on this forum). Most agree that he has been a franchise QB.
Fact…..most NFL experts and former players never saw Dak as one of the elite (5-6) QBs in the NFL. A few at times thought he was approaching the upper tier, but never to be mentioned with Brady, Mahommes, Rodgers, Burrows.
Fact…..for whatever reason you want to put forth to fit your biased narrative, Dak had the most inconsistent year of his career. It’s hard to imagine that any QB could have games like he produced against Minnesota and Tampa Bay (playoffs) in the same season where he was making mental judgment errors that you would hope a rookie could curtail Down the stretch. For a QB who was sometimes asked to throw the ball over 40 times, interceptions were never an issue for Dak until this season. Overall, Dak‘s inconsistency and turnovers rate him a season grade of D from me.
I hope and trust that next season he will be the QB we saw in the previous 6 years in regards to decision making and avoiding interceptions.
This was a bad season from Dak, his worst ever.
This was essentially more of the same from Kellen Moore, inconsistent. One week we are asking if he finally gets it after a great game, and the next week asking if he will ever get it.
