That Dallas offense was a machine when Dak wasn't throwing the ball to the other team. I think Emmitt has it wrong here. Sometimes Dak threw the damn ball just to throw the ball. He wasn't considering what color jersey that guy was wearing.

Can't criticize Dak though...

I hope not, but probably.

Then again, if Reich continues to call his own offensive plays the OC hire is going to be a lot less crucial than it usually is.

I'm not so sure.

I wish there were folks in our building who could've reached through the mental fog to get to Tepper as he was falling in love with Matt Rhule with the backdrop of Marty Hurney shoveling meatballs down his throat.

His chosen advisors were Marty and Steve Drummond. It was doomed from the beginning.

I would love it.

Word is, though, that Pep is tied to that area because his son is in high school there and is making a name for himself as a QB and Pep wants to be a part of it/present for it. I wouldn't blame him for trying to find some way to stay in that area.

He's among my first couple choices for OC, though, Brian Johnson being the other. 

I’ve seen a bunch of people mentioning Pep. Not criticizing, but just curious, what has he ever done that should make me excited about him?

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
