McC does have the luxury of a DC he trusts so he can be more offense focused and thereby, QB focused.

I think one thing both of these guys missed is that once Moore was out the door, the resurgence of the QB was all on McC. It's not just the offense.

The other element of this is that I think McC has a much more willing QB to do it his way than he had in GB with both of those QB's. Prescott does not want to be that guy that leads the league in picks with 5 fewer games and picks are the focal point of all the negative vibe he's been getting in the media.

McC has to get into his head because while Prescott tries to talk a good game, all of this bothers him. Just like it bothers Allen in BUF.

My conclusion is the coordinator and play calling change was merely this year's scapegoat. Next year is the head coach.

Round and round we go fixing everything but the actual problem.
Daks only been here 7 years buddy. What was the problem when he wasnt here?

Big Mike has done this before. Sure, he had Rodgers but as long as Mike has been around and the QBs he's been with, he probably knows how to manage his time in order to spend enough time on big picture and with the offense.

Just curious: Is there an Assistant HC?

Dak is not stupid. Come on. Your dislike for him outweighs what changes can be good for the team. You and others just do not want to admit or see it.
If you feel Dak Prescott's poor decisions in real time have not and will not continue to directly impact team losses then you are entitled to your opinion. I will keep mine that this is an inescapable truth.

Regardless of whether I like him or not.

I just want to see (and hope) the changes MM makes helps with that. As well better players, such as the OL for better protection. Which will come if they stay healthy for once.
If no improvement, time to move on. I really hope they select a QB higher than the 4th round if one falls to them.

They are right, but sometimes a great offense leaves the defense hanging....that's what I saw. Dak being put in bad positions in which he did not deliver and put the defense back on the field. That's why we need to establish a productive run game, and it's not the number of carries, it's the production that those carries deliver. String first downs together and keep our defense on the sidelines. That will also help keep Dak's interceptions low....defense will have to account for the run game and won't be able to keep an extra man in the secondary.
I think this is lost on most for some reason, Its not banging your head against a brick wall with 30/ 2 yard carries....IT IS using the run and pass schemes to set each other up, again KM had great games but to me when the defense had good players he did not have a plan to scheme yards against them it was still "Beat the man in front of you" and with 50% MG and Noah Brown thats not going to work.

This reminds me of years ago when Romo was having his INT issues and Jerry coined the phrase “Romo friendly offense.” Apparently this is going to be a Dak friendly offense.

If you cant enjoy a 13-3 season where the team wins 11 in a row with the birth of a new franchise QB, then you cant enjoy anything.

Only ones that didnt enjoy it were the Romo cry babies. And they havent enjoyed anything since other than Cowboys losses. LOL
Well that was my point. I found myself not enjoying it because I decided all along that I knew a rookie would lose in the playoffs. They didn’t lose for that reason.

That’s why despite Daks shortcomings and history of disappointments, I do all I can to not throw the season away before it begins.

A well designed Texas route play is just as good as a run play in the WCO, if you think they are going to run the ball devil be damned your going to be disappointed. The RB's will be used better in passing plays as yards are what matters in the WCO. Running up the middle for 2 yards 90% of 1st downs is not a run scheme its plain stupid.

They don't know either we'll all just have to see.
Yeah, can't wait until OTA's, not that they mean all that much to some.
But want to see the reports from the media as well how that compares to the comments from the team.

It seems to me like Aikman suspects that MM is feeling the pressure of losing to San Francisco in the playoffs and blames it on Dak for the team's problems that ails the team. To be sure, it's hard to read MM's mind. He makes a fair point that it remains to be seen who's at fault and who's not. Could that business of meeting with Dak to correct him over his interceptions be an attempt to fend off the blame to Dak? It's hard to say with any positive conviction, it seems to me. Perhaps the season to come might cast a better focus on that possibility.
I think you're on to something and to be honest my thoughts are similar. I won't go as far as to say MM blames Dak for the 49er's loss but disappointed, yes. Let's just say, it's obvious he had to have seen enough to make the changes we are seeing. Honestly, and know this will raise a hair or two with some but I don't see him letting Dak and his interceptions stand in the way of a good season. Put more bluntly, if Dak can adjust to MM's changes w/o turnover issues, he may find himself on the bench. I know that's bold but.......

Who will they bench him for? They best draft a QB in the top 3 rounds. Though some on here will say for Rush.

There is zero question that MM is hugely concerned the interceptions. Not turning the ball over was MM's calling card as he was coming up with the Chiefs and Saints.

I really think people need to get over the whole blame and fault paradigm. I don't think MM even thinks along those lines. He certainly never talks like that.
