The 1-3 Thread

Stafford did suck, he threw a lot of INTs, 16-20 each season except for the one he was injured. Having Megatron to throw jump balls to, makes a QB job much easier. His first full year with Linehan went well, but his QB rating the following years regressed until Linehan left. After Linehan left his INTs dropped and his QB rating climbed.

Interesting.....

Jim Bob Cooter is Stafford's OC. Matt Patricia was smart and kept him on board.

I wonder if he'd be interested in a head coaching gig?

Not that Jerry would actually hire him, but I wonder.

I just like the idea a Cowboys coach would be named Jim Bob Cooter. JBC did a fair job in trying to eliminate some of Staff's gunslinging ways and make him a more efficient QB Staff seemed open and look improved with JBC. He also has 3 very good WRs to throw to, Golladay is looking like a Mini Megatron.

That name just makes me giggle for some reason... Yes.. I digress.

Listen closely.

Dak could have performed better yesterday. There were a few high and low throws that made a difference.

That said:

  • His offensive line continues to woefully under-perform in the area of pass protection.
  • His OC is in the booth and apparently using the appointed QB coach as an intermediary for communication with Dak. Dumbest thing ever. Linehan and Dak should always be in direct communication. Kellen Moore (aka Garrett Jr in OJT) can listen in but he should not be in the middle of the comm between the OC and the QB.
  • Please watch the all 22 and observe Tyron getting abused. It's sad to see and we all know the LT is the right handed QB's security blanket.. period.
  • Zeke did him zero favors on that wheel route to the liquor store and then to the end zone on a perfectly thrown TD pass via a scramble (because the pocket collapsed yet again).
  • Connor Wiliams is also someone to watch. He's learning in place and gets pretty abused at times by stronger NFL level DTs.
    Be sure to note the bull rush of Connor into Dak's throat yesterday.
So, with all that being said, there are much bigger issues than just blaming Dak.

I've said it before and I will say it once more. Cooper Rush looked like the second coming last preseason. Even I bought into it. Be honest with yourself and tell me how he looked this preseason... a preseason in which he got loads of playing time because Dak was bubble wrapped... Is Cooper that bad? No... Does Kellen Moore inspire Cooper Rush? No.... Does Linehan adjust his strategy to suit the skills of his play caller... A thousand times no....

I don't buy into the opinion that it's all on the signal caller when you have all of what I outlined going on around him. The oline is a literal shambles. Dak doesn't know snap to snap whether Tyron is going to get school or Connor is going to get bull rushed. His left side is the most important side for that right handed QB. Why might Dak get happy feet in the pocket? Perhaps absorb some of what I just said here...

@irishline I'm legitimately interested in your thoughts/dialogue.

For level headed discussion around the real problems which are as follows:

  • Unimaginative play calling
  • A head coach that inspires no one
  • Zero accountability for bonehead on field play
  • A QB coach that helps no one on the field
  • An offensive line that went from elite just two years ago to a real shambles
  • Incredibly poor player utilization (where's Rico?)
  • An environment that encourages uninspired play(see bullet #2)
I believe moving to 1-3 with a loss to the Lions next week (very possible) will force Jerry's hand. Linehan will be the first fall guy. I wouldn't be surprised if Marinelli got caught up in the shuffle. He won't fire Garrett though until the season ends. Jerry's a proud man that hates admitting he's wrong but he was wrong with handing the HC position to someone that has clearly been in over his head for years. Linehan is gonzo though if we don't beat the Lions.

You underestimate Garret. Would someone please post a copy of "the Garret Coaching Tree".

Yes, he could have performed better. He could have thrown for 50 yards instead of 30 something in the first half. Don't set your sights too high.

Tom Brady threw for 133 yards last night (against the Lions..) Does he suck? @dfense

You're comparing Dak to a multi SB winning QB on one of his extremely few below average nights. Is this where we are at now?

I hope you are in sales of some sort. You, are a natural.
