My overreaction... or is it?

The main issue with the Cowboys is a poor OL and an incompetent head coach who continues having the team spin it's wheels.

The better the coaching the more you get out of the players you have. The roster doesn't need to be revamped the team needs a solid head coach and a DC who's built some real good defenses on some winning teams. For the Cowboys to start making progress they need to fix the coaching and the OL.

On the first part, It seemed to work when Dallas traded Hershel Walker to the Vikings for a bunch of picks.

On the second part, I said this would be a problem in april and all i got was abuse with people saying as long as we've got Claibourne this team is set, as the offense is "the same as last years" and we're Superbowl bound.

After the season there will be a review and inventory. Problems are identified and solutions entertained. There will be no wholesale changes for this team. I look for pass rusher, S, and OL to be specifically addressed but things could change between now and then.

I think its a great idea. But 1 guy at a time starting with Witten this offseason, but I'd hang on to Dez because he's only 23. Time to move on from the past and build up our front lines!

They traded one player not their QB, OLB, TE and WR. The 89 Cowboys were virtually talentless so they gambled their best player because that team had holes everywhere. You could trade Romo, Ware, Witten and Dez and never get the number of draft picks and players the 89 Cowboys got for Walker.

The Cowboys received 8 draft picks and 5 veteran players for Walker. Romo, Ware, Witten and Dez are the teams corp players and without them the Cowboys are probably a 3-4 win team at best. The picks they would get for them would be used to try and replace them it would make no sense. The Cowboys would probably end up having to use multiple picks just trying to replace Romo.

If you're referring to the OL don't know why you got abused for saying it would be a problem in 2012 most on the board figured it would be. A lot of fans wanted the Cowboys to use their #1 on the OL.

I said taking Claibourne and losing our 2nd round pick was a mistake as the O-line needed help and the player brought in were career back ups. For this i got abuse off lots of poster who are now saying what i said back in April. Now i'm not slating Claiborne and never did i was saying giving up a 1st & 2nd for a player was too much and spending over $100m on CB and a few dimes on the o-line was a mistake. For this i was slated.

how in the heck can you bandwagon a 8-8 team?

[maxdallasfan]

The only thing I would trade any of them for are 4 starting quality OL

Remebmer, this is year 2 of a 3-year rebuilding process.

You're asking if we should be tearing the whole thing down before seeing the full plan through.

How about we give it at least another offseason to get the rest of the pieces in place before we judge how Super Bowl ready this team is.

We've been rebuilding since 95!

Dude, that's the whole point of rebuilding. I never said the players we would draft would come in and win a super bowl that year. Withing 3-5 years I believe we would be in good position with a bunch of young talent mainly from the many picks we get. 1 playoff win since 96... remember that. Romo has all the stats and none of the wins. I was romo's biggest supporter 'till last week, that was the straw. I'm actually playing Flacco and Big Ben in both of my fantasy leagues over Romo.

Really? Didn't know it was 1995 when Garrett took over for Wade Phillips. Thanks for pointing out the facts.

I agree, this is year 2 of 3 in the rebuilding. Next year in FA & draft, it's OL & S.
That gives the win now team, but yet builds for long term future too.

Trade any one away, that's a give up. Too early in year to give up.
Ride it out.

Honestly, this team is good enough. But I've been converted to blaming it on the Oline. I'd be up for trading Witten and Jenkins or Scandrick. Pick up some 2nd or 3rd rounders and reload the Oline with those picks. I believe the team is strong enough to pick up some FA's along the Dline and replace the two players we trade. I really think with selecting a guy like Barrett Jones or Chance Warmack along with a NT like Jesse Williams this team could see some dominate play from the trenches.

So what kinda years were the one's in between 95-2010? As an organization we have been rebuilding, getting new coaches is a part of that process. AND how are you gonna rebuild when we never had anything good that collapsed? Like I said we've been rebuilding since 96.... Beat it!
