I'm guessing my statement should have been:
Because despite me turnaround and saying:
You seem to take that as "Screw Moore, he sucks" based off your response here.
But since I "hate Moore", I will play along.
Who was our OC of virtually the same offensive personnel last year?
Yet, when the starting QB went down the offense failed to score 20 points in 7 of 11 games Dak did not play in.
And that WAS with the arguably "the best backup QB in the NFL" and with even some fans believing (or at least saying) the Dallas Offense would not miss a beat with Dalton instead of Dak.
Hey, and I get it, it wasn't "only Dak" that went down last year. But yet when hit with adversity, the offense that has been innovative, balanced and customized for our opponents failed to score 20 points in 7 of 11 games.
So without a doubt, the players played AT LEAST a small part in the offense's success and failure and even though having a customized game-plan for our opponents has been lacking in Dallas for what seems like forever, I think that is because Dallas has been behind the times when it comes to modern coaching practices in the NFL.
Give me an OC that is NOT stuck in the 90s or a complete moron, and I think our offense will still be one of the best in the NFL with the talent it has.
Now that I'm done playing devils advocate, here is all I was trying to say:
- You, I, or anyone on this board (unless Stephen Jones is secretly hanging around) has no control over what happens with Moore, so let's enjoy 2021 and worry about 2022 AFTER the 2021 season is over. Otherwise I'm afraid IF Dallas wins it all some will be unable to enjoy it and that would be really, really sad.
- While I am not 100% "you will not change my mind" opposed to Moore taking over as the HC as soon as next year, I do hope he proves to understand the difference between, and has a plan as, a HEAD COACH and not just an Offensive Coordinator.
- I mean, how many "Great Coordinators" have become HCs just to fall flat on their face? For every Payton and McVay, there are dozens of McDaniels, Manginis, Ryans (father and son), Mornhenwigs, Capers, Callahans, Phillipses, Turners, Weises, Crennels, Spagnuolos, Whisenhunts, Camerons, Haleys, Strongs, ect ... I'm sure I could find more, but I think you get the point.
- While again, and I quote, "I want him (Moore) in Dallas in 2022 and beyond" if for whatever crazy reason I had to pick between Moore or Dak, see ya Moore with absolutely no hesitation on my part.
I feel yucky now because I'm sure this is going to come across as very "Anti-Moore" or as a "Moore hater" but I AM NOT.
He is arguably one of the best young offensive minds in the game and I DO want him in Dallas for the foreseeable future. But that does not make him an automatic slam dunk at head coach.
Not saying that automatically makes him a terrible HC either. He just better have a plan that he can execute as a HC before we just "hand him the job" like we seemed to do with Garrett.
That's all.
