The problem isn’t Kellen the OC, it’s Kellen the QB coach

As a playcaller, Kellen is as good as all the other teams play callers in the league not named Andy Reid.

In Sundays game he had TY streaking down the field and got the team in the red zone before Dak’s inability to see the field killed them both times.

Dak was best with Kitna for mechanics. But don’t know who the best coach is for mentally seeing the field.
No. No… it’s kellen the oc that’s the problem

Kellen the OC didn’t call for Dak to throw those picks. Those were bad reads he keeps making over and over. And they’re basic. Not like it’s some complex route tree.

Kellen isn’t the reason Dak had a 30 something QBR vs Washington.

As for people complaining about 2nd and 2 from the 35. Maher wasn’t considered an option from there so no you can’t just try to settle for points.

The idea of quick reaction reading the field I wonder why someone doesn’t video quarterbacks viewing the field you see those videos all the time of Rick of recognition anyway I just said idea but I agree with you

I diagree on his play calling. I think there is a lot of room for improvement. much like Dak, Moore is very inconsistent in play calling, play design. Some of the play designs are obvious including what routes WRs will run, what side we are going to run and what play is coming and what the blocking scheme will be. give any good defense that and they will tear you apart. It relies too heavily on perfect execution of the play by players (shades of Garrett) as opposed to scheming the players open (ala McVay, Shanahan, Reid). put him and Dak together and if they both come together, then its great, but if one is off, then its a struggle. the problem is it often works against weaker defenses, but falls apart against better defenses that take away the execution element and limit the scheme.

and that play was missed, although several other analysts argued that it really wasn't. but 1 play can not be extrapolated to an entire game or entire season. and btw, after watching the play, it was a split second decision on where to go with the ball, it wasn't as obvious. but then again these days, piling on Dak is the thing to do.

with that Said, I completely agree on Kitna. he worked with Dak after 2018, which addressed a lot of his mechanics which actually started with his feet. he improved greatly after that and then last year he started good, great fundamentals and then after his injury he broke down again. I think he needs a QB coach, not necessarily for reading defenses etc. although that's needed, but to continue to improve his mechanics.

No but kellens play designs at times against SF didn’t allow for the correct spacing to be successful. And made throws more difficult on the QB

It’s either that or RBs and receivers are running the wrong routes. Which means either the players are too dumb to learn what they should be doing. Or the play calls are too complicated to understand

We need a perfectionist as an OC. Someone that demands everyone is on the same page and will not tolerate doing anything less.

This is nonsense. Doug Nussmeier is the QB coach. Whether he's a good or bad QB coach, I don't know. I would need to see him coach someone with talent.

Have we seen Kellen sit down on the bench, with tablet in hand, with Dak......after a 3 & out or interception?
Have we seen Kellen stand in the middle of his offense, going over just what happened......after repeated 3 & outs?

Just wondering, I rarely saw that.

Does anyone seriously believe that McCarthy would have hired Kellen Moore if it had been, legitimately, his choice to make?

Then we know where the problem is.
