Stephen Jones says Cowboys being 0-5 without Tony Romo is 'unacceptable'

[windward]

Wow is that how far we've fallen? Being in playoff contention is considered a success

Didn't say it was a success. But it's not a reason to fire someone either.

 

[windward]

Lovie Smith's Bears never quit on him. The players praised him until the day they finally slammed the door in his face.

And it was a mistake for the Bears to fire Lovie.

 

[windward]

To some yes. As long as JG is the HC that's enough for them.

The implication that those who don't think we should fire Garrett are putting Garrett ahead of the team is completely false.

 

[DandyDon52]

Except we haven't finished 8-8 every year.

last year doesnt count, freak occurence!
2010 was actually 4-4 not 5-3, which is .500 philly didnt play their starters so we won that 14-13, other wise it would be a loss.
2014 was luck (playing afcs , we won all 4) take those away and were.....8-8 and riding murray and the run game and romo.
This year no murray, no romo, and no afcs!
But we have JG !!

Not for all.

So you are just ignoring the data that doesn't conform to your statement.

Cool.

This situation is clearly different than the last two, when the team quit on Switzer and Wade. That hasn't been the situation here. Plus we have an MVP Caliber player out for the entirety of this 5 game skid.

Jerry didn't fire Jimmy after losing five in a row twice in a season.

As I've said before, you can't fire Garrett now; it's too late in Romo's career. I'm simply pointing out the historical poignance of losing five in a row.

Jimmy lost five in a row twice in 1989. He wasn't losing five in a row in his fourth year.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

You've been uncharacteristically sassy lately. That, as much as anything else, tells me how the season is going.

hush

Once he get going you just got to get out off the way and take it.

What has Garrett shown that he couldn't be fired and the team prosper? Romo wouldn't miss a beat and would more than likely be better for it.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Y'know, it's possible to believe the coaching staff is failing without also believing they should be fired or drawn and quartered or whatnot.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Starting with a terrible off season.

Yeah brutal-Greg Hardy, Lael Collins, Randy Gregory and Byron Jones-just brutal.

You're going to up and put Romo in a new system at the age of 36?

Nuh-uh.

Romo has shown he can win in this system.

Romo would survive a tweaked system no problem. JG has shown he won't tweak it. It's just the same ole same ole. How many 1st down plays will be a run this week?

To add they did it with both Mannings.

 

[jwitten82]

So you would have fired Jimmy in 1989?

You don't have to answer. I know you would. You're far too impulsive.

Lmao Are you serious? It makes a huge difference if a coach is in his first or fifth year.

Especially one who had to overhaul the whole team.

Eli is younger and does not have the wear and tear of Romo. Also, the jury is still out on whether or not putting Eli in a new system will be successful.

Peyton is the GOAT.

I think Eli is currently on pace to have the best season of his career.

The are faring and have been far better than Dallas, and yet we have the better roster than the Giants.

I guess I just imagined all those calls for Garrett to be fired his first year, then.

The people who want Garrett fired will latch on to any reason to fire him.
