Dak is just the scapegoat for those problems just like Romo was. Dak is the easiest person for everyone to blame and while he isn't good there a bigger issues with this team. There is plenty of blame to go around and it doesn't stop at number 4.
Doesn't matter who was QB, the Cowboys were losing that game badly.
That was a collective bed-********. SF could call their offensive shot on darn near every play. Purdy played very well but a lot of NFL QB's (and a couple college QB's) would have looked good facing that defense. It happened from the jump an didn't let up. The big holes up the middle was just a continuation of last year. SF stopping at 42 was a self-imposed mercy stoppage.
Offensively, we were just offensive. We were clearly outmanned from a player perspective and after a few more games we'll have an even larger sample for comparing MM's offensive scheme to KM's - the results are not trending favorably. The fact that the 9er's, a team that excels in zone coverage, opted to play more man tells you the lack of respect they had for our passing game. You can chose if the disrespect was based on poor QB play, receivers that can be easily handled in man, or lack of scheme creativity, but the outcome proved the disrespect to be justified.
It sucks but maybe Cowherd was right, the Cowboys can bully weak teams but get punched in the mouth when facing the big boys. It hurt to type that but that shellacking was not a fluke and would play out in similar fashion if played again 3 weeks from now. This team is further away from playoff relevance than what I thought. My mistake.
