I aim to pleaseYeah no bias MoP. Literally an entire thread for your hate.
Coach McCarthy put a team out there that looked very unprepared
Dak didn’t commit 14 dumb penalties or call the game. He played better than the other QB. Threw one TD and ran for another. WRs we’re loafing on their route and dropping passes.
I think the jury has rendered a verdict on both- not good enough.
Just FYI, Dak was widely panned on the morning talk shows on ESPN, FS1, NFLN while I was streaming thru them, he was perceived as being worth $7.50 an hour as Skip Bayless put it.
Your citing Skip Bayless?
After last season and the rash of injuries, the big question was whether or not to give Dak the mega-deal. (I was opposed to it then, and remain steadfast in that belief. The contract will, in retrospect be viewed as a bad decision. I'm even more confident in that judgement now than I was when the deal was signed.) Dak is a finished product as a QB- he's not going to get better. There is no objective reason to believe he will become more accurate. He makes some great throws but simply misses to many throws to be considered elite. Yesterday's game was the perfect microcosm of Dak's skill set.
he’s not going to get better?. Sure he will. Quarterbacks play into their 40s nowadays and they are substantially better in their late 30s then they are in the entirety of their twenties.
Every QB misses throws every single game. Even Rodgers. Silly to hold Dak to a higher standard.
I would argue that neither JImmy G, nor Dak played well enough to win. Both of them came up small. 49ers won in spite of Jimmy G. And Dak needed to play better for Dallas to win.
Hard to argue this
These are old and lazy takes. MM might be a dope but Jerry has taken a step back YEARS ago. Will McClay has been the most prominent person responsible for the Cowboys drafts for about 5 years now.
MM might be a dope but he is one of the few coaches who has a SB ring. I would fire his ### just to send a message but I couldn’t tell you who I would replace him with.
Honestly, it really depends on the identity the team wants to have. Just off the top of my head: I'd love to see a guy like Bieniemy to take advantage of the Cowboys offensive firepower. Dallas really needs to break the Garret lineage and Moore is a Garret guy. There's an off chance he gets hired away but I haven't heard many rumblings of interest. I'm still surprised Flores was fired in Miami and he should get another shot, though the friction between he and Tua is concerning. It could be an established QB with a good work ethic like Dak will avoid that. IMO the Bears should scoop him up but I'm not opposed to seeing him in Dallas.
I'm glad somebody brought this up. My take is that the Cowboys need a Brian Flores type- a taskmaster that is unafraid to call out substandard play. This team feels like they are simply too comfortable- again- that is total speculation on my part. It just doesn't feel like there's a real sense of urgency. I'm a fan with no inside knowledge but there does not seem to be a culture of accountability.
I think it's a valuable thought exercise to ask your question above, along with "If a team fires coach X, how many teams would he immediately be an upgrade for"? After Flores was let go, people immediately thought he was going to get some calls. Maybe MM would get some too? I don't know but I'd be concerned about how next year will be different with the same staff.
Agree with almost all of this except Moore is not a Garrett guy. They bumped heads/Garrett was holding him back.
They do?Steady Mooobin said:
"cost themselves the game" lol.
22 to ever do it. Most of them played a long time ago. The "qb's play into their 40's now" is such a misleading statement because of Brady and Brees. Literally 2 guys since Favre.
I would add that any potential candidates to do it would need to be traditional "pocket passers". Guys that depend on their wheels generally do not get better with age.
as I’m in a pedantic mooooood…"cost themselves the game" lol.
Instead of their 2% chance of winning by chucking up 2 hail mary's?
Nice. So the call was the right one to increase their chances, they just executed it poorly which dropped them to 0. Either way, there was very very little chance they'd win. It didn't "Lose them the game"
Those 13 penalties were a teensy bit of a factor.
What are you talking about?
