You can only choose one to go - Who: McCarthy, Quinn, or Dak?

[MountaineerCowboy]

I am not defending Dak because he is horrible in the playoffs but Jerry is the common denominator for the last 30 years of failure.

Jerry sucks, but I've seen the Cowboys win more Super Bowls with Jerry as the owner than Dak has playoff wins.

 

[Fan4ever]

Dak. without hesitation

 

[Lutonio]

The answer is Prescott.

Yes. However he is not ever going anywhere ever. It's good to be the king.

 

[triplets_93]

All of the Above.

The two years that Dak had a more-than-pure-luck pathway to the Super Bowl, where the NFC field was cleared of first-round quarterbacks ahead of him, are probably over.

 

[HappyOnions]

Dak. Sign Flacco to a 5 million dollar deal and use the rest of that money on dline, linebackers, rb, and center.

Let's just roll with Lance ... Flacco was a feel good story but a turnover machine this year.

You guys with the outcoached stuff are crazy. Our players didn't even want to be there. What is the world are the coaches supposed to do when the team would rather be home or at a Louis Vuitton convention.

Because a coach gets players ready and their coach had them prepared on both sides. By your thinking a coach is never to blame.

But I’d pick Dak. He has Garrett stink

 

[HungryLion]

Rayne Dakota Prescott

The answer is all of them. On to the next but we all know nothing is ever going to change here.

You mean with Jimmy’s team? How many superbowls would they have won if he didn’t run Jimmy out of town?

Look I get it that you despise Dak and I am now in the camp it may be time to move on. But Jerry gave Dak that big contract. And Jerry will make the ultimate decision if they were to move on from Dak, not the coach. And I think we all know the answer to that.

I believe the OP explained it pretty good. The game isn't only about players playing good, it is about game planning, about studying film, understanding what your opponent tends to do in certain situations and coming up with plays, formations, and designs to counteract those tendencies and knowing when to do so. For Example, the game mods were talking about how GB worked on disguising the defensive alignment so that Dak would read it one way, then at hiking of ball they would change to be another way forcing Dak to not always have his first read be open forcing him to actually scan the field giving their defenders more time to get to QB. Definitely effective against Dak because he is not very fast as scanning the field.

How about simple stuff that this team and every player should know about the game and the rules, I mean for example the situation where a kick returner would field a kickoff if it was close to sideline within the 10 yard line - smart thing to do is catch it (if possible) with a body part out of bounds resulting in the kick being ruled out of bounds hence ball on 40 yard line. How many times here have we argued about how stupid our team is at times, like they are not prepared and don't know the rules?
I think a very huge part of the quality of a team is based on coaching, not minor as you (and many others) suggest.

 

[Dallasfann]

Dak for sure. He is a 4th round draft pick and it shows in every form against good defenses. Game is too fast for him and when his first read gets taken away it's game over.

 

[Havic]

Dak. A great qb can mask issues.

 

[Homer]

Dak

 

[Catpappy]

The #4 who plays like #2

 

[TrailBlazer]

You cant keep Quinn if you fire Mike... unless you hire Quinn as head coach... and that's not happening. Quinn and McCarthy are both gone. Harbaugh or Bellichick is the question

 

[MC8828]

Dak

yeah, like you I may have not been against Dak but right at this moment I am believing that we need to move on and moving on definitely would include from Jerry too. I do think we could do both.
But honestly I think this question being posed is short-sighted because I believe we need a complete overhaul from Jerry, McCarthy, Quinn, Dak and obviously the entire coaching staff. New ownership would take care of this problem, but you know that wont happen so we can only rinse, wash, repeat.....

 

[vlad]

Quinn and get your *** on that replacement for future QB - just eat that contract year somehow.

Every time we faced a remotely decent offense it seems like we got trucked. I honestly don't know why offensive coordinators just didn't run it down our throat all year, we have like ballerinas at LB. How you didn't move Parsons there to the middle and tell him to do his best Fred Warner impersonation is beyond me. Sam Wllliams that Quinn special was useless, but you still had Armstrong and Fowler you could put at the edge which is better than putting Bell at goal line LB.

Dak played like he should be walked out of town, but even if he played out of his mind how do you contend with this:

With a Total QBR of 99.3, Jordon Love became the first player to post a 99 QBR in a playoff game since ESPN began the metric in 2006, bettering Josh Allen's 98.8 in a 2021 wild-card game.
