“Romo didn't have the it factor to make people around him better. I think when I was there he thought he was bigger than the team. It was like Romo and then the team. Like nobody in the locker room is really going to respect you like that. I really don't respect him as a player based on what he did to the team where a lot of people didn't see.”

"He was a great player and got all the numbers and stuff but I'll take Dak over Romo any day because Dak has the ability to make people around him better. You'll run through a wall for Dak but Romo, hell no."

When asked to clarify his remark about making people better, Hatcher went on to criticize Romo even more.

"Romo was feeling like he was a Brett Favre and I'm like 'dude, you ain't do nothing. What have you done? You got your own space that you leave ... don't come in the locker room an interact with your teammates, but you call yourself a leader? Nah, partner. It don't work like that.'

Hatcher was asked about what happened around the time the Cowboys fired Phillips and if the team quit on him?

"Let me tell you something. I'm going to tell you the truth. I saw Jason Garrett sabotage this man."

When asked if Hatcher believed that he said, "absolutely."

"We ran three plays three freakin plays (before Wade was fired). I don't care what the media say. We was flying around. We was out of pads in week 7 (in 2009). We was beating people's heads in. Now we go into camp cupcake (in 2010) and do what Wade don't want to do. We get in pads, we beat each other down. We tired, we not fresh. And then you go and call three or four plays (Garrett on offense) till this man gets fired."



Yeppers!, if a faithful follower of franchise footballish fandom couldn't easily discern the self awarded Deity laurels of an bestowed upon demigod ,,,they weren't paying attention,,,but,,,the #8 actually had skins& scalps nailed up on the wall to justify his field Commander "demeanor"

* Man, considering Romo's avenue of upward ascent/ rise from an UDFA out of eastern cornfield Illinois?,,, ya, I'd always granted him that "cock of the walk " status, cuz' he'd paid some pretty hard earned& fought fer hard coin of experience, minted in the realm of hard knocks& pained lessons, just to perch up on that cock crowing post to begin with(,,,er,,,with out all those bona fides of scalps& skins on the wall though,,,er,,,ya-know?:oops:)

But Dak inspires the D to run through walls for him, that is what Hatch is saying.

So why was the defense not motivated against the Lambs? Why didnt Dak inspire them since he is such a great leader compared to Romo?

The run d vs the way better Lambs OL & 2 running backs? Motivation wasn't the problem as much as talent. Cowboys DT's were inferior.

Where's the proof? The defense stink it up not the offense, Garrett had nothing to do with the defense
20,27,27,21,35,17 were offensive scores put up in the first 7 weeks, they went 1-7 . How is that a sabotage by Garrett.
Pretty obvious to me, if he would have ran more than 3 plays, they could have doubled the scoring:)

Why not? Zeke will be trying all his life to run for 1800 yards. Hell of a season.

Before Murray, romo was in an 80% pass happy offense where he threw the ball 40-50 times a game with a generally bad defense. Had great pass catchers also.

You lost me at still comparing Murray to Zeke. I don’t care how many yards Murray had in 2014 that offensive line was stacked and playing at their peak. Zeke is far more talented than Murray.

It’s about leadership-Romo was not a leader, that is precisely why he couldn’t win and the chemistry was always a problem during his years. You Romo’s will never admit it, but it is plain as day. Talented player, garbage leader.
So why cant Dak “win”?


Being the great leader that he is, why cant he win??

Wow

I don’t know how much I believe about Romo. I mean his feelings about Romo are probably a matter of perspective and don’t go for everybody on the team.

The stuff about Garrett sabotaging Wade? Duhhhhh
It's not the first time that we heard this about Romo in comparison to Dak when it comes to leadership. Darren Woodson was one of Romo's biggest supporters even before Romo was second string but had similar criticism of Tony. Doesn't take away from what made Romo great but just like Dak he was not perfect.

The only way this makes sense is if Romo was seen with the Jones gang a lot and could been seen as a "made man" who could do no wrong in the eyes of the FO/Owner and some resented that.

With the way Jerry and Stephen talk about Dak, I wonder if he ever gets to that level Romo and Witten got to. Spending time with Jerry and others during the offseason.

We’ve heard this before, the team was divided back then. The defense and the offense to some degree didn’t like each other. I also recall alot of players felt like Romo kept to himself mostly aside from his bff Witten, he just didn’t interact with a lot of players till later in his career. I guess Hatcher got in his feelings about that...

I chalk that up to the Rams "knowing what the defensive line was doing 90% of the time".
