Opinion: MM made decision to move from Moore

[khiladi]

big Mike isn’t the GM.

I think KMoore saw that LA job and jumped.

Yep, the Chargers wanted him from the get-go. But they had to wait until Moore interviewed for the Panthers job, of which Moore jumped up the Panthers list after the first interview, calling him back on his way to the airport. But they settled on Frank Reich and the fact he’s a legend there, their first QB.

Plus, going to the Chargers was a lateral move, meaning Jerry could have easily refused, but I’m pretty sure Jerry saw the writing on the wall of Moore leaving no matter what after the contract, as he paid him a lot of money to stay when Moore was a strong candidate to take the Boise State job. And like the Panthers, he was second on the list of the Dolphins HC job the year before.

Remember also, the Cowboys work with the Chargers in training camp, plus Jerry owns Legends Hospitality along with George Steinbrenner:

It has in addition branched out in what it offers. Although Legends began as a concessions company it has since expanded to help teams build and operate stadiums. It also sells naming rights, tickets, and Personal seat licenses on behalf of teams.[7] In 2019, Legends negotiated the largest naming rights deal in the National Football League when SoFi agreed to a 20-year, $30 million per year deal with Kroenke Sports & Entertainment and the Los Angeles Chargers to sponsor SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

Jerry has a personal stake in watching the Chargers succeed. He doesn’t lose if the Herbert and Moore are lighting the league on fire, outside a public perception issue. It was reported as mutual.

As he should have. He’s the HEAD COACH! It should never have to be a question or discussion topic. Only with this organization. He should never have had to keep Kellen Moore in the first place.

 

[jazzcat22]

They have tried every which way under the sun to do that since 2016.....so 2023 will be the sudden year they find the right mixture?

Could be, there has been more changes to the coaching staff since MM took over. And the biggest in who will be calling plays. MM, the HC, not some appointed coach in training Jerry adopted to call plays, aka Garrett and Moore...Linehan was an extension of Garrett.

I choose to look at improvement, not dwell in past misery.

 

[links18]

MM ain't gonna fix it because it can't be fixed.

You cannot manifest talent into someone where it does not exists.

The same problems we had with Moore we will have with McCarthy.

That problem is called Dak Prescott.

It's sad how many want to believe McCarthy is a magic man. These suckas keep the Jones Boyz in power. They believe every year even after predictable results.

Moore was calling plays in college to a mls the QB and was running the practice squad for Linehan in Detroit and Linehan brought him here for the same purpose of running the offense for the teams in practice.

Unlike Garrett’s “lack of experience”, what Moore showed for as little experience with a “system QB” who sucked at going through his reads was proof of his potential to be great, especially with a QB of the caliber of Herbert.

Only Dakazoids think so low of Moore.

 

[CTcowboy203]

So what? Him willing has no bearing on Dak’s play..

If he was a GM operating from the axiom that he 100% believes Dak isn’t going to win anything but the owner wants him as the de facto QB, then willingly rooting for the process of him being gone facilitated as quickly as possible through even more crappy play is a logical and sound POV..

it’s pathetic. As much as I don’t believe in a player or think he’s no good - to openly root against that player having succes when its so vital to the team having success is trash.

He also doesn’t need you to be his body guard.

 

[jazzcat22]

The Cowboys will NEVER have success with Dak Prescott. He will always find a way to fail the team.

I have accepted that and moved on to hoping that he is so horrible going forward that the Joneses cannot justify putting him on the field.

You should turn in your fan card. Your obsession over wanting Dak fail is also wanting the team to fail. This s one of the most pathetic things I have read recently.
You rather thump your chest to be right than to win.

You come in here saying...Dak over Dallas fans...blah, blah, blah...but yet here you are being a DAK MUST FAIL over being a Dallas fan.

 

[jazzcat22]

Moore was calling plays in college and was running the practice squad for Linehan in Detroit and Linehan brought him here for the same purpose of running the offense for the teams in practice.

But yet here we are with a lot of stats and getting bounced in the playoffs, again. And no it is not all Dak's fault.
It was time for a change.

No, it’s called realism and planning practically for the future. Expecting Dak to magically dwarf into an actually talented QB is pathetic, as it’s like an adult still believing the boogeyman is under his bed.

 

[CouchCoach]

big Mike isn’t the GM.

Interesting that he talked to Staley long before he took the job. They connected last year during the camps and preseason.

I think Moore's a smart guy and realized he was going to serve as the scapegoat because Booger would toss others under the bus before he would admit it was his QB.

Going to be really interesting to see what kind of patterns LAC runs and how the games are called compared to when Moore was in Dallas.

Moore upgraded at QB and that's extended life for any OC.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

You are willingly rooting for the quarterback to play horrible? Jesus Christ.

If you haven't figured it out by now.......his hate for Dak is personal. It has zero to do with the Cowboys winning.

 

[CTcowboy203]

No, it’s called realism.

Hoping the teams starting quarterback sucks every week so the team has less of a chance to win? No that’s called being a loser. You can think a player isn’t good or lacking but to root against your team and call yourself a fan? Get lost.

 

[DeaconMoss]

I can't wait for you guys to see Moore wasn't the problem.

That "told ya so" will be glorious.

This is the start of the new narrative to get fans back for next season. They are subliminally admitting the Billion dollar man is no good. Dallas now has to run the ball to be successful. Should have stuck with that plan all along and not paid boy wonder and found a new guy to play QB.

 

[John813]

No surprise it came from MM. Not like the Jones gang would of wanted to let their future HC in training leave willingly. Mainly surprised the FO granted it.

Imagine that.. Dak is still throwing bone-headed Interceptions despite having OTHER OPTIONS provided by the same OC play-calling and defensive playere saying Dak can’t throw against zones.

There is a reason Dak hasn’t had two games in a row since 2019 without a TO, since the “offense became Dak’s” and he was no longer a game-management QB..

 

[CouchCoach]

As he should have. He’s the HEAD COACH! It should never have to be a question or discussion topic. Only with this organization. He should never have had to keep Kellen Moore in the first place.

I don't think he had to keep him. Garrett schooled him about Booger prior to the interview and he knew Moore was a rising star and possible bragging rights for Booger so he seized on that to help sell himself in a 12 hour interview.

Then he realized he was at the mercy of the young OC and when he admitted he had no involvement in the game calling in the first playoff game against the Niners. Calling that was questionable.

To a degree but Dak can be taught to throw a ball away instead of forcing it when there is nothing there. That really is the biggest issue if you ain't going to run then at the very least cutdown the negative plays. Now I know some sacks are inescapable and some INTs are just good defensive plays but many this year were a failure to say, "Well they got that covered good, Hey Kellen catch this."

No, he’s rooting for what’s better for the team, because the starting Qb does suck and he’s proven it for 7 years running and it’s just being realistic to want him to suck to the point they don’t waste anymore time on the guy who is still sucking, but apparently not enough for Jerry and Stephen to continue on with the delusion..

 

[khiladi]

Dak was CONSERVATIVE but his game management approach wasn’t taking this team anywhere. They had to teach him to throw aggressively this year, because he’s way too slow processing the field. But it also revealed how bad he is at processing defenses, because he stares down the WR and tosses it without looking which resulted in all these pick 6s.

Like @Aviano90, pointed out recently with one of the best case examples, the guy is so mentally lacking at QB play, he basically ran right into a SAFETY, but the defender simply didn’t make he the tackle. He just can’t process fast enough. Even if you have physical tools as a QB but are lacking in the mental aspect, you are still going to be like a Winston.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy discussed Dak Prescott’s interceptions on Tuesday and made a comment that reflected the quarterback’s overall view on the recent turnovers.

In short, the Cowboys offense is preaching an aggressive approach. And that’s not going to change in spite of the fact that Prescott leads the NFL in interception rate.

McCarthy actually made it a point that he doesn’t want his quarterback to back down.

You Dak fabs just need to stop trying to re-write the narratives of his trajectory and except him for who he is and move on.
