Do I have to accept mediocrity to be a real fan?

[NickZepp]

We won't be mediocre with a QB change. We will be flat out bad with a QB change. We need to keep on this path of getting younger. I loved how we've had a tonal change in this rebuild from the ones JJ tried in the early 00s and late 90s. He basically tried to replace guys with other semi big name guys that were over the hill. It didn't work out. We fell way behind in talent and couldn't ever recover. We don't need a dynamic force. We still have areas to build on. Getting linemen to fix those issues. Adding to the DB depth and LB depth although hopefully we don't have the number of injuries we had this year so we won't need them. There are areas to like on this roster. We need to see a change in how or offense is ran overall. We can't have our defense on the field all the time.

Gotta admit, it'd be pretty entertaining watching a rookie qb run around trying to survive a season behind this offensive line, while we go 2-14, 3-13............

There isn't a franchise QB in the draft this year anyway. I'd be for trading Romo because I'm sick of it but only if we were getting great value. otherwise, I'd look to 2014 and draft a QB then.

In my opinion, the only team that desperately needs a good QB & thinks they can win now with help from the QB position would be the New York Jets.. I believe they are the only team in the NFL that would trade a 1st for a QB.. With all that being said, I am still hanging on the edge of my seat by a thread on the Romo Circus show bus..

We have guys like Andrew Luck going to the worst team in Football to turn around and go to the playoffs. We get beat by a rookie hobble leg Rg3 on the last game of the season and our franchise Qb lays yet another egg.

We as fans have every right to be mad and distressed about the future of our team. When will people just realize, that mediocrity, 8-8 jobs and missing the playoffs is not ok. Why should I accept an 8-8 season?

Just venting..Get at it fellas.

Strongest post of the day imo. There's nothing to get at. You nailed it.

What separates them is some people are able to move forward and focus on what it takes to get better while others cry incessantly. Having to watch a late pick in another tough loss the last thing I want to experience is a bunch of whining sniffling entitled babies.

There is absolutely zero logical sense to hate Jerry Jones for 16 years and still be a fan of HIS team. Wish he makes different moves? OK. But when there is real disdain for him it is time to move on to another hobby or another team. By claiming this team you support him. PERIOD.

Because the man isn't firing himself. He'll die with the job he has.

No one has to accept 8-8 EXCEPT that is 100% the epitome of an average NFL season. So half the fans will get just that or worse.

[View Full Quote]If you are a Cowboy fan you get to see games on national tv every other week and get to be talked about non-stop on ESPN. But you don't get to win many games right now. This team just isn't that talented, well coached nor managed. The are creeping that direction with some very solid young players but also face cap issues which could make us even worse.

What might really help this team is a 2 or 3 win season. Add some real help from the draft and eat a crap sandwich one season as we expunge all cap woes. Unfortunately the team isn't that talentless, poorly coached or mismanaged.

We are a middle of the road bunch. And it is really hard to move from here to elite. But if it was easy there would no real joy in winning. By 1996 regular season wins largely meant nothing to this fan base.

Ewww. From one extreme to the other. Perhaps I should stop reading now and save my eyes.

I love how you tell it like it is (even if they don't want to hear it). The truth is so painful... until you rub some saave on it and move on.
