With how poorly we played as a team last night do you really think any other QB wins that game last night?

Dak was absolutely the main problem. In the last three games against SF, the Cowboys have allowed 23, 19, and 42 points. Dak has engineered exactly three TD drives in which he started on his side of the 50. This is primarily a Dak problem. Time to move on.

Matt Stafford throws more INTs than anybody lol You want those throws? Better be ready for a lot of INTs.

This is also a statement on the scheme and WRs, as much as anything. The idea that Dak can't throw to a hole in the zone before the WR is there is laughably stupid. How many balls were picked off last year because Dak did that and the WR - CD specifically against GB and CHI - ran the wrong route?

And yet executive decisions were made to abandon those type of throws entirely this year by the HC who is fighting to save his job. Now why do you suppose that is?

Not disputing the claim Dak sucked as you describe.....but can you name any player of portion of the Cowboy team that did come to play, outside of our FG kicker? Can you?
 
There are always receivers who you can squeeze a ball into. Good quarterbacks do it every game. But you have to be accurate enough to fit the ball into the spot.
Sorry, our guy cannot do it.
 
The point is that the team had no chance with how Dak Prescott played at Quarterback. The offense didn't get a first down in the 1st quarter - he was central to that.

The D made a sensational play to turnover the ball at the Cowboys' 2 yard line. On the resulting drive Prescott had a clean pocket yet underthrew Gallup with a loopy throw that lacked velocity and then took too long to process the next play, unable/unwilling to use his legs and got sacked by Fred Warner. 49ers score and made it 14 zip on the next drive. Game over.

You're trying to make an unsubstantiated argument that he doesn't believe in his QB. It's not that clever, and there's nothing to suggest any truth to it.
 
Funny how guys still think they can deflect to conversation to other parts of the team to protect an incompetent QB. The gig is up, everyone knows Dak is a limited QB and you'll never win big with him. Now it's just insulting the collectives intelligence with this nonsense.

LOL.

So I guess we will continue to have Dak defenders even when it's obvious he's not the guy.

The idea that Dak is solely to blame for last night or whatever is so stupid.

It's not about defending Dak. It's about understanding that the systems in place make it impossible for a QB to succeed. Like the idea that Dak and Brock Purdy switch and the Cowboys win that game is ridiculous.

You mean other than he went to short safe low risk routes for a veteran QB as a base offense. Yeah what was i thinking. I am sure MM trusts the QB completely.

In other words, a totally unsubstantiated and speculative idea.

You could just as easily say MM trusts the defense too much. That point actually aligns with...everything else they've done.

He's not solely to blame. I don't think anyone, other than a few McCarthy suck ups, thinks he's totally to blame. But he's not a great/good QB at this point. He's mediocre, average, mabye just decent.

Sometimes even system changes can't overcome the shortcomings of the QB. And that's where we are. If you give Dak Kyle Shanahan last night, the Cowboys might win but they won't look as efficient as San Fran does because the QB is just not very consistent at this point in his career. Not even a great OC can cover up that reality.

I am going to hope that this isnt a defense of McCarthy.

Any fan on here that comes and defends McCarthy or Dak is being foolish. They both are mediocre.

They're like a tag team, working in rotation. There's always one snapping the ball.... long after Dak's called it a day.
 
Oh for the love of all things holy STOP, it's people like you that are the problem. Literally every variable around Prescott has changed and we get the same result. He is the problem. Now are there also other problems? Yes, but the biggest is the QB. He missed wide open receivers, he always throws high or behind, and gets so easily rattled. He sucks. Get over it. Also, don't even put Romo's name in the same sentence as Dak. Thanks.

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.

The mistake many fans will make is thinking that Dak is holding McCarthy back.

He's not. McCarthy sucks. If Jerry decides to move on from Dak, if he allows McCarthy to stay however, that's a really stupid decision.
