How Bad Will Garrett Be in 2013?

I see us 10-6 or better. If Murray wasnt out for most of year we would have finished 10-6 with:

1.) all other injuries
2.) Garrett's poor decisions *
3.) players lack of knowledge of plays, reading defenses and execution

Does that burn the HATER's up? Me seeing 10-6 or better?





* that was for the Red Hate - I wasnt serious. I think he is making great strides. Its just slowly taking to the field. The progress is there... IF YOU WANT TO SEE it!

I agree. I predicted 10-6 with a healthy squad and 7-9 with key season-ending injuries. I was not too far off.

My reasoning was that this team needed a lot of luck and a healthy Romo to win more than nine games. They went into the 2012 season with a lot of serious questions concerning WR depth, safety, d-line and o-line. Nothing has changed.

I think Dallas needs to address the o-line and d-line in the first two rounds; a blue-chip DE would be preferable followed by a guard in round two. Safety also needs to be addressed followed by WR and RB.

I think they can be a good football team in 2013 but they need to address their flaws and hope they stay healthy. I predict 12-4 with health and 9-7 with serious injuries.

Let's keep this thread on the topic of maligning our own head coach, and less involved with the subtle jabs at the tedious Hos v. Superpunk, CowboyMcCoy, et al. Please.

We all know where the jabs end up: with people getting infractions and then complaining to me via PM about how unmerited they were despite the advance warnings and me ignoring the PMs for hours because I'm grouchy about having to treat a board full of adult men like they're actually teenagers.

Some of the members on this forum act like five-year-olds - a dozen times worse than even a teenager.

So far you are the only one who has taken it there and hopefully it will stay that way.

What I want to know (from anyone who is feeding us the same lines that they tried last offseason and were wrong on - I honestly do not care who it is - in this instance it's rcaldw) is what they are basing their current promises and assurances on? They promised/assured the same things last offseason, said there would be nothing that could stop it, and were wrong. Now they're advocating keeping the status quo, and guaranteeing/promising the same things as last offseason. That's the point of bringing it up. It's the same token guarantees and "I'm just sure it will work out if we give Garrett another year" posts that were made last offseason, so it merits pointing that out. If you don't think it's a legitimate criticism to ask those questions I'd be interested in knowing why.

My question is, how bad will he be next year?

He will be worst cos he is out of his depth, as you said the team needs an experienced coach, and someone who knows the game i.e jon gruden

This draft and FA should mostly be on addressing the "trenches" on both side of the ball.

That will take us to another level EVEN if all the same things "non-trench" related happen next year.

Also I will never figure out why he didn't give the no huddle more of a chance. All we did was get points when we switched to it.

I don't understand why he didn't give the no huddle more of a chance either.

Hopefully he's not right in 2013, or we don't get to find out because RJ's been replaced.

All I know is there is more evidence to support CowboyMcCoy's position in these threads than the ones that absurdly compare Garrett to all-time greats, promised us that absolutely nothing (including injury) could derail our 2012 season, and guaranteed that we'd finally see a payoff to keeping red around in 2012 with absolutely nothing to support that stance.

Right or not, I think it's a little creepy. No?

Why? So that next year we can come up with new and exciting excuses as to why Romo can't get it done, why Garrett sucks, and why Jones should be expedited from the US and no longer allowed to come within 1000 miles of the Dallas Cowboys franchise?

CowboyMcCoy knows whats up.

More like depressing.

I don't fault anyone for their optimism. We're all fans. But at what point does reality set in? People had a problem with Garrett last year when he demonstrated that he struggled with doing head coach things as a head coach - which is kind of a big deal. We suffered through his OTJ training, the refrain was "he's only had a year. It's a process. Jason is getting his system fully in place, getting rid of overpriced underperforming vets, I believe you'll see results this year."

We saw no results. We were the same, or a little bit worse depending on your evaluation. The East blew. It was ours for the taking. Instead we saw a mediocre Washington team take it from us.

And people want to trot out the exact same platitudes from last season? Those platitudes were wrong then and they're wrong now. At some point you have to man up and admit you were wrong. Hopefully Jerry Jones does that soon.

Heck we brought in a "Offensive Coordinator" last year because of his playcalling.

This isn't something new.

This isn't something new.

A new "Offensive Coordinator" and offensive line coach.

A new secondary coach to replace the poodle. 50 million dollars and a top ten draft pick worth of new toys for him to play with.

Mike "Biggest Offseason Acquisition" Woicik.

The result?

We had one of the worst offensive lines and pass defenses in the NFL, and lost a huge portion of our starting lineup to injury.

God help the units Garrett decides to overhaul this offseason.
