Ok football gurus where was QB coach Kellen Moore those first 8 games, you all remember Troy Aikman
saying either you have accuracy or you dont, we all remember the wide open throws Dak was missing.
How about when Terry Bradshaw said you cant miss those wide open throws, where was Kellen Moore then.

Reports that i heard was Jason Garrett got control back from Jerry Jones for offense away from Linehan,
we hired Hudson Houch back and TE coach Ne..... helped out, who was offensive coordinator with Cooper when he was at Alabama.

If you all saw on sidelines Linehan would all be nice polite to Dak, even Kellen Moore would try to talk to Dak some and Dak would look away sometimes. Not pay attention but you never saw a coach drill or get onto Dak.

We need a coach that can get in Dak's face when need to, challenge him and Dak not look away, you cant baby a QB at times, just like Parcells would chew out Romo, that QB coach sure has to be the
QB's friend but also be strict tough on him when need arises, you cant baby a QB.
And now your asking a guy that has never called plays or schemed against veteran defensive coordinators,
look at how Kris Richard got out schemed agaisnt Seattle the first game of season, they beat us bad,
how Kris Richard got man handled scheme wise in the Ram game

YOU need sure young experienced offensive coordinator, to rev up this same old old offense scheme,
but to go with a young inexperienced offensive coordinator is asking for trouble.

I am concerned over Dak accuracy but I don't think its getting fixed anytime soon. Dak hired coach last off-season to work with his footwork. But if you watch film I think Dak footwork regressed compared to his rookie season. Kellen Moore is very technical coach and if he can't get your accuracy straightened out its probably not happening. I am trying not to get caught up in Dak missed throws but instead focusing on points scored. In current NFL, teams will need to score about 30 points game to be serious SB contender. Dallas averaged 21 pts game. The question is can Dak make enough progress to avg 30 a game. I have serious doubts he can become that prolific.

According to Cam Cameron in a video put out just before the playoffs, there were certain aspects of Dak's game that were not addressed in the off-season when John Beck was working on Dak's throwing motion. The team got back with Beck at some point during the season and worked with Dak to fix these issues, apparently with success.

I don't remember exactly what these things were, but Cameron said that if they'd been taken care of in the off-season, Dak would have been good from the beginning. His opinion, not mine.

It had to do with throwing on the odd step instead of on the even step. Cam thought that was the change that made Dak throw more on time and helped with throwing with anticipation.

Then Dak needs to live at Becks house, wash his car, vaccuum the house and do his laundry.

Whatever it is, it has to be fixed.
According to Cameron, it (footwork issues, thanks Zman5) was fixed, but it shouldn't have waited until after the season was underway.

Beck is with Tom House's 3DQB, where all the top QB go. Brady swears by them.

btw, Dak was 7th in passer rating in the second half of the season and playoffs.
