Was there a reason why Kellen was so predictable?

the answer to that coogi will be apparent with the chargers this coming season.
if he is the same and chargers look like cowboys then he is a boob.
if the offense looks different, and works good, including into the playoffs then it wasnt him.
Will he be better at using the run game? that is a key for him, as he was not very adept with the run in dallas.
I disagree. Getting let go from Dallas or having issues with Dallas will probably improve him as a OC. He may learn from where he went wrong. Look at Bill Bellicheat.....the Bellicheat Browns got isn't the one the Pats got. Even if it goes bad for Moore I won't hold that against him with the Chargers.

I told you guys Dak can throw deep on his early read. But when the RG is no longer as good as it was, and no longer forcing teams out of zone, Dak would have to anticipate and he’s complete garbage. Teams took away the deep ball on the outside on the go routes, which he used to get away with with guys like Gallup, who Dalton also could find.

A lot of the routes to counter this from Moore was short crossing routes. Just look at the passing chart for Dak against the Eagles.

Pretending Moore didn’t adjust for Dak is nonsense.

Dak’s limitations were eventually going to be exposed when facing good defenses. You always see flashes of horrid play from him, even against bad teams.
You can make yourself believe your nonsense, but not the NFL players around the league who have said Moore was predictable.
I'm not sure if it's a disability or will, but you guys can never focus on anything but Dak.

Doesn't anyone remember Kellen's first 3 games? They were genius, things we'd never seen before, and we all went WOW!!! Then, it suddenly stopped. Why was that?????

Was there a reason why we were so predictable, was there a reason why Kellen didn't call certain plays for dak, have dak throw it deep more, why we use so many curl routes, etc etc? We have a lot to say about him, but is there a reason why he was so limited in doing what he did? Please give your thoughts!
Yes, the reason is Dak's limited ability to properly read a defense.

Yet, he got picked up by San Diego in a heartbeat and SF defensive players said Dak can’t throw against zone…

all you have to do is review all the other coach's around the league (off. coord.) or(head coaches)hat called plays and they did more with less talent. but kellen is not the only problem how in the world do you make chicken soup with a tomato and make chicken noodle soup, what i'm talking about is dak prerscott this doesn't mean he isn't any good but he's like so many mid tier qb's they can only get you so far romo was great some- times but could pull some of the biggest bone head plays like throwing across to a receiver in wash. that was covered what happen pick 6 to the house the bad part he was so covered blanket couldn't done better but he threw it any way. So the new OC is there now won't may any difference. Jerry and his big mouth because of the media will mess things up like keeping elliott that should be a coach decision so you see some more of the same. see you in the endless draft to no where

how was rush good? we had the 29th rank offense and 28th scoring.
You're wrong with your rankings.

The 5 games Kellen started in, the team averaged 21.4 points per game (wining scores of 20,23,25,22 and a losing score of 17).

The NE Patriots averaged 21.4 points per game this year and were ranked 17th in scoring. The Falcons and Giants were tied at 21.5 points per game for 15th and 16th place.

Dak averaged 28.8 per game in games he started, including the playoffs.

The Cowboys as a team ranked 4th at 27.5 points per game.

Rush was middle of the pack, not great, but also not near the bottom.

I don't see the point in beating a dead horse. He's gone so move on with what's next.

Yes, the reason was Zeke. At least on the run plays. Zeke was predictable in that he wasnt going anywhere and it was a safe bet that he was running between the tackles.

What about Dak not being able to get the ball deep to players. Usually they have to turn back to get the ball
Do you watch other teams play? Other QB's?

Dak statistically is one of the better deep ball passers in the NFL.

6 of those point came via defense scoring against rams. actually you can argue 9 because the defense got a turnover, offense got all of 5 yards and kicked a field goal. but we won't go there

so that's 20.3 points per game. that puts them at 21st scoring. so I stand corrected on the scoring ranking.

at about 213 yards per game, that puts us at 27th total offense.
at 183 yards passing per game it puts us at 27th.....
at 28.10 TOP, puts us dead last

yeah, Rush sucked.
