T.O. getting hurt a few games before the season ended completely took the sails out of this offense. A healthy TO makes our offense dangerous. He came back for the playoff game but was nowhere near what he usually is. Terry Glenn was hurt, too.

Nope...I read what people write. I do not try to psychoanalyze their personality based on a couple internet posts.

You CLEARLY said "rotten human being".

What is there to be confused about?

Every time any member suggests our current quarterback has sustained greater unnecessary criticism than his predecessor, I think of negative replies to threads like these. :laugh:

The sad part is neither of them have been the real problem on their teams, but QBs get too much credit for wins and too much blame for losses.

Garrett loves operating out of two- and three- tight end sets. According to Football Outsiders, the Cowboys used more than one tight end on 53 percent of their offensive snaps last season, the third-highest rate in the NFL.

The Cowboys were especially effective with one running back and two tight ends on the field, a personnel package that can be used in a variety of formations because of Witten's versatility. They averaged 7.0 yards per play with "12" personnel last season, their best of any package they used at least 5 percent of the time.

Garrett loved himself these 2 and 3 TE formations, while completely ignoring the RG. If Garrett had a single 3 WR set play call with Romo taking the snap from behind Center between 2008-2011. maybe Romo wouldn’t have checked down to his third option Witten so often? My favorite part is all this hogwash that Garrett actually wanted to run or knew how to run the ball, which was further attested this year in NY. Despite running all these 2 and 3 TE sets, this is how much Dallas ran the ball:


In fact, if you wish, the Cowboys seasons of running the football with Jason Garrett as the offensive architect rank 52nd, 35th, 37th, 20th, 42nd, and 40th in Cowboys history. That’s right. His best season is only 20th best in the history of the franchise. And before you tell me it is because the league has changed to a passing league, explain this: The New England Patriots (perhaps the most pass-first team in the NFL, right?) have run the ball 398 more times than the Cowboys in the Garrett-era. And as you can see, 398 represents an entire season of Garrett rushing attempts. I will repeat: the Patriots have run an entire year’s worth of rushing plays more than Garrett in 6 seasons.

Romo is a legends period, carrying this franchise and he got hosed as soon as Jerry banished Garrett out of the picture in 2014. People thinking Dak has been hosed with this offense, instead of Baby-sat, with Jerry keeping Garrett completely away from the play calling, with an OL and RG built for Romo, has nothing to stand on period.

What an absolute waste of Romo’s career..
