Not sure why you're bringing up hanging 40 on every team. They scored 17 points in this game, not 25. Which has been pretty typical of how they performed against the teams that are still playing.
But let's go back to your initial statement. You said the solution for Dak to beat dropping 7 in coverage is for him to run the ball. That's ridiculous. The solution is for him to recognize the coverage, use his progressions, and make a decision. How you've brought that to, "remake the whole damn roster," just shows you're not reading what I'm saying, just making assumptions.
McCarthy changed that, fwiw.
If you don't think Dak is an issue, why do teams say they want to make Dak beat them? I know you can't be happy with the run game this year, especially lately. Why would SF's HC say he liked the matchup of his banged up secondary vs Dak better than if DAL's run game got going?
Will we hear any other teams (other than SFs opponent) make a similar claim in the playoffs?
"Got to stop the run and make Rodgers/Brady/Allen/Mahomes/Stafford(maybe?) beat us." You just don't hear that about the good QBs.
First of all don't be stupid.. you hear that about EVERY QB .. Every team that has ever lined up to play has wanted to try and make the opponent one dimensional. Making it about Dak vs other QBs is just being a softhead.. You think teams are lining up in 2-3 down linemen and dropping 8-9 against these other QBs you listed because THEY are the ones to fear? No.. teams try to stop the run and pressure with 4 against ALL good QBs.. And when it works it shut ALL of them down.. That's why not a one of them has ever gone undefeated. Ever.. And do you know WHY every defense that has ever lined up on Sunday tries to stop the run and make the other offense one dimensional? Because it works.. If you can get pressure without blitzing and you can still stop the run you're WAY ahead of the game. The way for a QB like Dak to get them out of that mode is to hurt them with his legs.. Pressure up the middle is the bane of every QB's existence and our weakness at LG and C meant Dak was getting a LOT of it.. There was a supreme disconnect between the plays that were called and the protection our line was able to provide. The entire passing game against SF should have been a steady diet of slants and shallow crossers with Dak rolling out. We didn't block well enough to have him taking those deep drops.. You think the losses are all on Dak.. fine.. nothing I'm going to say is going to change your mind.. After all.. if Dak had played better the 49ers would never have been able to run for 170 yards.. because.... well I don't know why.. You tell me..
