The guy runs for 80 yards against j-ville and tears them up.........and then nothing.... Dak is not a pocket passer and whoever is trying to make him one is a moron and needs to go. I'm not saying Dak is my ideal franchise QB but as long as he is in the game, he needs to do what he does best.............which is not taking 5 and 7 step drops. He needs to roll out away from pressure and take off when he has green in front of him. No reason we should lose games like last night.

linehan is the play caller. I agree...why no designed runs for Dak? That is 1 area where we lost this game, the terrible play calling and unwillingness to adjust offensively to Dak and what his strengths are. Linehan ought to be fired just for that. Garrett is the oversee-er of this hot mess,thus needs to go.

He wants to show everyone how wrong we are about him being terrible at reading defenses, anticipating WRs coming open, and hitting WRs that are open. Problem of course being, we're not wrong.

All of his flaws are magnified in the pocket...........lack of pocket awareness is glaring, lack of touch on the balls he throws, the hesitation........... it is painful to watch.

Should have hired Norv Turner as OC and fired Linehan. He seems to know what to do with Troy Aikman or Cam Newton. Oh, that's if we really had a GM and Head Coach.

It's glaring.

Remember that part in the game where Mariota's WR hadn't even turned in his route, and the ball was already on its way?

When was the last time we saw that? I don't know that I've seen Dak do that once.

What I want to know is where is the coaching? Why has no one told Dak that his stupid spin move out of the pocket ALWAYS results in a sack? Why has no one told him that you need to set your feet to throw accurately? Why has no one told him to throw the ball away when no one's open?

Sure, this is what happens when you hire a garbage QB coach. But Linehan and Garrett are both former QBs. If their QB coach isn't getting it done, why aren't they doing anything?
 
Kids playing Madden can get more out of Dak than this coaching staff...

All true, but I also saw him drop back, plant his feet, and then hesitate to throw. Thats when he gets into trouble.

It doesn't help that your coach sucked, meaning Dak is being coached by a guy who couldn't earn a starting position, what since does that make? How is he supposed to improve being coached by a group of Losers basically, how many games did JG start, how many did the QB coach start!??????

There is your answer

Why do you assume that the coaches aren't telling him these things?

The NFL is chalk full of good head coaches who have never played a down in the NFL. I think Garret's NFL player experience has caused many to overrate him and make false assumptions about his football acumen.
 
Linehan did not call a game plan to step on the Titans neck after the turn overs. As I keep saying why have a FB and Rico Gathers on the roster and you are not going to use either. What are the Jonesboys? Hoarders? Lets hoard the players so when they go to another team they become stars (Martellus Bennett).

Booger McFarland kept bringing up that this offense has no fear factor at TE. They can not run the ball consistently without a lead FB. What was the big play that got the Titans in scoring range to take the lead. They lined up in I formation ran to the left side and the FB kicked out the OLB. Sounds familiar? The Cowboys use to do that but the Jonesboys have no clue.

When all you run is button hooks with the WRs and TEs, no QB drop back or scrambler QB is going to look good in this offense. Witten kept telling you this is not the 2014 offense. Its not the 2016 offense. We have no TE that can run a crossing route and slant that gets open, but the one that is hoarded on the bench. We get a WR that can get open and we take him off the field after every big catch signaling the defense the Jonesboys are now going to run the ball with Zeke and no FB.

Go watch the Patriots use the RB, FB, TE, and WR in the passing game. They pass inside to outside and not with button hooks. This is not rocket science. People forget that the Landry years and the Johnson years had RBs and FBs catching the ball with designed pass routes (both 1977 and 1992 the RB was the 3rd leading receiver on the team). They had 1 very good TE. Then the WR would beat you deep and break slants and 20 yard digs/post routes. The Jonesboys longest pass play before the last drive vs. the Titans was the broken coverage play to Hurns for a TD.

This offense does not play to no ones strength. The Jonesboys offense is "like a golf ball in high grass...LOST!" (Parcells quote to Romo).
