The way McCarthy is calling plays shows he has no trust in Dak

It is obvious MM does not think Dak has the long ball capability , nor the improvisational talent when facing a pressing defense.
Dak knows he cannot get fired and has no job insecurity at all. I think his attitude shows it. No audibles or any crativity.
This is the type of game where a QB like romo would have won. Dak again cannot bail the defense when it has a tough day, I hope this season can be salvaged and that this is a fluke game. But it is concerning .
I have said this since the giant game excellent post, it’s frightening how little trust they have in him and what happened the moment they needed him to throw a touchdown. He threw it into triple coverage like Zach Wilson.

Yea not many, he was fine. There's nobody open.

The INT was bad, but that's what happens when you are constantly forcing the team into third and long because you wasted time running the ball, especially in the red zone.

People who think Dak was the problem last night have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Not a clue.
You may be right...or wrong. I guess we'll need to see the all-22 later on to find out.

I saw many times Dak had time in the pocket, looked like he was reading the field and did not pull the trigger. That's why we will need to see the all-22, to see if anyone was open or not.

Here.





Been like this for 3 years. Anyone who says "Dak doesn't see the field and misses open receivers" is either wrong or stupid.

Dallas does not have speed at WR to create any space, and I'm not sure they'd know how to use it if they did.

Silly take. So you post 5 plays where receivers aren't open and blame it all on the offense.
You do realize there are multiple plays, even more than 10+ a game where receivers aren't open?

Maybe not but I think people are desperately trying to shift blame from McCarthy. He was a problem yesterday (and likely will be all season). He's not a very good OC at this point.

Yeah my blame starts with coaching. It's clear we weren't prepared. There is way too much talent disparity for me not to look at coaching first. They took Arz to lightly and it starts with coaching. We didn't have to rest all 3 linemen. Both coaches and players expected Arz to lay down for us.

Then I move to defense who was flat out terrible and then the qb who couldn't overcome.

That's my order of blame, but it was a complete organizational failure.

As far as MMs offense I was very happy with it until yesterday so I'm not ready to call it trash yet. That said when you add yesterday to the complete picture it's not pretty and there is reason for concern.

Season long, I told myself when Diggs went down that I don't know why I even bother getting worked up until January. So much can and will change.

Go ahead and show me something opposite. I'll wait.

What's silly is this stupid comment without presenting anything opposite. Go ahead and present some evidence of the opposite. Should be very easy.

"Silly take to post evidence." Like aren't you embarrassed to actually put that in writing? Clown stuff.

Dak was 2-4 on balls that carried 20+ in the air. That will kill a team. It doesn't take a long time to develop deep shots, and you're better off taking those shots and having the occasional sack than you are doing whatever it was they did last night.

I agree with the fundamental point that they had to protect the OL, but they did way too much bootleg, quick hits that allowed the defense to play close to the LOS. Dallas never did enough to make them even think twice.

Don't get me wrong I'm not sticking up for these coaches, or anyone really. I agree with what you're saying.

So what you're telling me here is that every WR didn't get open on every single snap of the game based on the evidence you provided... a whopping 5 plays.
Good job.

i dont mind resting the lineman, long season and rest is vital. Seemed like that was the least of our issues anyway. Defense blew it

I think it impacted how we called the game and played overall.

The fact Tyron dressed speaks towards our over confidence in the game. Yeah I like to rest guys as well but you don't sit 3 guys and start 2 rookies unless you have no choice at all, OR you are arrogant. I expect some of those guys would've played if it was the niners game.

To me we looked like a team that ate the cheese and didn't put in the work. Their arrogance shined yesterday.

i see your point, however i do see a catch 22.

They dont play and we lose what shouldve been a winnable game in a tight race between the eagles and 49ers

on the other hand they play on an injury or rushed back too soon and now theyre injured/out for the year/lingering injury

Not a decision ill be happy to make

You'll make it if I compensate you with a multi million dollar contract lol.

Yeah I acknowledge it's a rock and a hard place. MM is conservative with injuries though. I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing either.

No what I'm saying is that the idea that Dak is failing to process and see open WRs is a totally stupid, baseless claim.

Don't worry in Daks typical fashion he will play lights out next week and we will welcome 100 threads sayings he's a top 10 QB
He is a top 10 QB. That also doesn't mean anyone thinks he's special or a HOFer.

If anything, I believe he can actually get through his progressions faster than in the past. It may have something to do with the copious amount of curl routes under JG/Moore.

Only reason he's a top 10 guy now is that state of QBs is atrocious right now. Daks in that 8-12 maybe even15 range that can all replicate the same results.

I'm not the one that claiming he's not a top 10 QB. There's a realistic debate on 10-12 etc. But those claiming he's the bottom half of the league do not watch any other games but Dallas.
