Moore sucks
I agree I don't believe he is trash. I believe is intelligent and creative. What he is not is great on game day. As I have said many times, his downfall and the downfall of Jason Garrett before him was the whole "take what the defense gives you " mentality. It's too passive. Most defenses are designed not to "give" you anything. At least not anything you want. But because the Garrett/Moore approach leaned on being reactive to what the defense "give" they could be manipulated into running the wrong play at the wrong time too often. That's why the offense almost always ran better when we were in no-huddle whether it be with Dak or with Romo before him. Romo eventually got to be smarter about calling plays than the guys calling plays for him and Dak eventually got to that point as well. The problem was that being smarter than the play caller did not always mean you were smarter than the opposing DC. So sometimes neither QB could overcome the limitations in the offense. What we are seeing now is that Dak, with the help of McCarthy and Schottie might actually BE smarter than opposing DCs. At least he's been smarter than the last 6. We will see if that continues but right now he is seeing what the defense is trying to do to the offense and attacking it rather than laying back and "taking what is given." It's a very subtle difference.. but if you look closely you can see it.
Well said, Ronnie, I 100% agree.
Moore should have been the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys for the past seven years and even now, and I am sure he has a lot of knowledge, but I never was sold on him as a coordinator.I've been hard on McCarthy until as of late when he's been calling a good game as OC and the play designs have been more creative using the Cowboys talent. And the Cowboys are getting off to faster starts (though this team still goes 3&out on the first drive too often).
But even when the offense was struggling earlier in the season, and the Chargers seemingly had a "better" offense at the time, I still didn't long for Moore to return.
But many fans did lament his departure, as if Moore was going to give the Cowboys some decided edge this season.
You see the Chargers struggling at 4-7 with him as the OC (though, yes, their HC isn't really good either so...)
And why is elite arm-talent, high-hope Herbert getting a pass every year? Yes, you can point at the HC, but Herbert's routinely coming up short in Big Moments, and the pundits don't give him a hard time.
I wonder if we go over to the Chargers forum, will we see a loss of hope in their QB, since the Chargers are taking another swan dive this season? But he's younger, so I guess age matters, a longer leash...for now.
LMAO!
Well, Dan had a HOF coach, as well....
Yes, though years ago there were others who were convinced he needed to be the starter over Romo, since "He was 50-3 in college".
Ah, so it’s “your eyes” can see it, but when Dak is rebuked with the same criticism by others, it’s why aren’t you looking at the receivers, or the offensive line, or the coaching, yada yada yada.
can't be serious. JUST for wr's: eagles, dolphins, bengals, seahawks. when we include te's, as you did, it expands to 9ers, lions and vikings.
