We're going to call Laufenberg a quarterback?......if you insist.

Making an NFL team as one should grant you some leeway. Laufenbergy spent eight years at the position as a backup. That's more than a lot of other players can say.

Its Jerry's fault that Garrett sucked?

You mean it's not the job of the GM to hire quality coaches, and fire them if they fail to meet expectations?

Who knew?

Every franchise has hired a coach that fails to meet expectations. No reason to blame the coach for that. I'm sure they all felt they could do the job well. The problem is when the GM refuses to recognize the problem and make a change, and Jerry is the one that stuck with Garrett for 10 years.

I'll be a gofer for some low level assistant, or family member that doesn't do much for a high 6 figure salary.

Tell you what: I'll clean Jerry glasses in the sky box.

But that's about it. I'm lazy nowadays.

Hah you beat me to it

I can see @The Fonz 's point so I'm not going to argue semantics with him but hellllll no I do not want to be HC of the Cowboys.

The workload is insane, the exposure to the public scrutiny sounds miserable, and I'd prefer by far to watch someone else give the Cowboys a chance at a SB than me myself go 0-16.

I want Jerry's job. Do things, say things, get paid no matter what, know where all the best glory holes are, never get fired.

Uh huh......He didn't participate in a single game his first three seasons. At least he was allowed to sit on the bench in a couple games his fourth season. He participated in six games his fifth season with the Chargers....and he was terrible.

Didn't throw a single pass his sixth season...first with Dallas.

In the last two games of the 1990 season he threw six INT's. Two of them returned for TD's.

Dont get me wrong, I have no hate for the guy. I enjoy his analysis.....but he was awful as an NFL player. I'm sure he was great in high school. Did some nice things in college. Maybe it was his sense of humor that kept him in the NFL for that long. It certainly wasn't potential.
