Honestly, I think I would handle a losing season better than another McCarthy 12 win season and being one and done in the playoffs. At least I would enjoy picking higher in the draft.
Yes I know...it's sick!!! Not a true fan, right? But at least I can admit it. So should you!!!
Tell me you would rather have another McCarthy 12 win season and nothing to show for it. I dare you!
With this schedule...if we go 12 - 5....we would be one of the 3 best teams in the NFL. If that team is one and done in the playoffs....I would come to the conclusion that Jerry should have come to a LONG TIME AGO....this team is built to win regular season games. And drafting a rookie QB high in the draft is NOT going to get you to the next level
I keep saying it and saying it and saying it.....the playoffs represent the best coaches, gameplans AND players. Unless you are Patrick Mahomes....there is not a QB in the NFL that can put his team on his back and win 4 straight playoff games. You have to rely on a run game and a defense to finish the deal. So unless you are going to draft the next Patrick Mahomes and sign the next Andy Reid....you guys need to stop thinking that Dak is the biggest problem in Dallas.
We can't wait to replicate the next triplets, because that is what sells. But you have to have a philosophy (front office and coaching staff) and draft/acquire pieces that can stop the run and run when the situation (weather or how we are being defended) calls for it.
The way the 49ers have beaten us the last 3 years can easily be countered if you can run the ball. How have we responded? Franchise a Tony Pollard coming of injury, have a terrible center in Bidiasz and coming off torn ACL in Steele...then follow that up with passing on Derrick Henry and signing Ezekiel Elliot. But all I hear is that moving on from Dak is the answer
And don't get me started on this run defense against teams that TRULY want to run the ball
Has been Dak been great? Not when it has counted. But there are a lot of coaches and players that were not great when it counted! And it starts at the top. The front office thinks they put everything in place to make a long postseason run. And I contend they have not. And it's because to do that they would have to totally change the philosophy on how they build a team. Starting with playing Micah Parsons at RDE. He is there because he is great and can produce exciting plays. But it will mean ZERO when we have to take on a team that wants to run the ball. He will wear down and ultimately not be the answer for 17 games plus potentially for 4 postseason games. Don't get me wrong, he is a great player. But he should not be used exclusively with his hand in the dirt. I could keep going but people who KNOW football know what I am trying to say.
