No one told Romo to shatter....
a whole 2 seasons....poor Tonybut the GM put him behind an inadequate OL for years...
Isn't that the sense most of you are getting?
They are going to keep kicking the can down the road year after year with their "Smart Free Agent Strategy" and look back and have nothing to show for it and another career wasted.
We're 3 years into having Ezekiel Elliot. The same Ezekiel Elliot who single handedly defeated Alabama to win a National Title and came into the NFL and has lead the league in rushing 2 of his first 3 years and the only thing we have to show for it is a QB who is about to get far more money then he is worth because of how good Ezekiel Elliot is.
Jerry keeps telling us how much more of a priority it is for him to win a Superbowl now because of where he is in life but there is absolutely no sense of urgency coming out of this organization.
Status quo with some rookies sprinkled in year after year after year.
If you have no interest in going for a Superbowl then just trade the guy while he still has value and get some picks because Elliot is a luxury that we can not afford if we're only interested in shooting for a playoff spot every other season.
They thought they had forever with Romo... He was going to play until he was a 100 they thought. Well that ended quickly and all they can say is how it was their biggest regret but they somehow don't notice themselves making the same mistake with their current superstar RB.
Well we’re giving him the ball more than any other RB in the league and a very good O line to run behind, hence the 2 of 3 rushing titles. We’ve also added Cooper which helps him. He’s had a lot more help than several other top RB’s, so no, I don’t think we’re wasting his career.
a whole 2 seasons....poor Tony
He's our "engine" our "offense" our "MVP" - we are supposed to go as far as he takes us. That's what this board says.
Nobody is wasting him - we have an offense built around the run. Instead, this dude can't have a run longer than 41 yards (his longest was 30 in 2017)
Zeke is just an RB.
The Jones’s MO for the last 23 years. Waste prime years of talented players.
Are you kidding? He had one of the best OLs in the NFL when he started. It wasnt until they were passed their prime and too expensive when we got rid of those PRO BOWL level players when our OL was not a strength.His original OL was not very good until he stepped in and his ability to buy time made them look a million times better then they actually were.
Go watch our playoff exit to Minnesota and then come talk to me about how good that OL was.
How would you decide the team is wasting the time with Elliott?Isn't that the sense most of you are getting?

How about we just start one thread and title it...Wasting every players prime.
We already have went through the wasting Romo Prime, Dez Prime, Dak Prime, now Zeke prime...we should not forgot to add Cooper prime, Frederick Prime, Zack Prime and so on.
Do you get paid to be negative? It’s either that or you are just one extremely miserable person.Isn't that the sense most of you are getting?

How would you decide the team is wasting the time with Elliott?
Last year we won the Eastern Division.
Zeke won the rushing title.
In his rookie year..
We won the Eastern Division.
Zeke won the rushing title.
Our defense up until last year sucked.
This year it may suck again becuz we took flyers on Irvin and Gregory and they have tanked.
The DL is on life support.
How is that the FO's fault?
You are crying becuz we have not won a SB with a cheap roster full of stars and now have to come back to reality?
The game is played by players who want to win.
Frankly, I have questioned the players desire to win.
Guys like Beasley who have played here..built their careers here..
flee for bigger deals then turn around and slam the team for not wanting to win...
only support what I have been saying for awhile.
Our players, not the coaches, not the owner..
are responsible for their own careers.
We need players who want to win at all costs..
not players who want the money and then sit back and collect the endorsements and love off social media.
It's nearly impossible to freeze a team and just assume its going to improve enough to get over the hump to a championship with a couple more tweaks.
The league has it setup to where the economics will not allow it.
So try to just enjoy the entertainment it provides and hope for the best like the rest of us.
It is what it is.
No team is perfect, our defense was better than most other playoff teams defenses. Everyone wants a pro bowler at every position, it’s not happening.This is the equivalent of saying Romo has good passing options and ignoring the nuts and bolts of the rest of the team and wondering why our defense can’t stop anyone in big games and blaming Demarcus Ware for it.
Do you get paid to be negative? It’s either that or you are just one extremely miserable person.

If you want to blame coaching you may have something there but that would fall on Richard who most people refuse to give blame too, only credit when things go right.
