Jason Hatcher Rips Romo and Garrett

Romo's last 20 starts - 16-4, with one of the four losses coming when a game winning kick was nullified by Garrett icing his own kicker. During the span of Romo's final 20 starts, his backups were 1-8 with the same players. None of this has anything to do with Dak. But Romo was almost THE difference between Dallas being the best team in the NFL and being the worst team in the NFL at the end.

Hatcher has the IQ of a concussed snail.

And then came the backup to the backup when he got injured again. How did that one pan out?

I like how some here act like there werent reports during Romos time about him be distant from the team, and how he wouldnt be around the team much. Or maybe they werent fans during that time.

I recall that, but I also recall it occurred after the 2006 season and the playoff game with the greased up football. To me, that was when the change occurred.

Just my two nickels, when he was just a guy trying to make the roster and come up, he probably was hanging out with more of the guys on the same grind and was cool with everybody. When he became the QB1, he tightened up his circle. Which is kinda to be expected.

I'll go ahead and remind you guys on how this team played for Wade Phillips before anyone uses crap spewed by an irrelevant former Cowboys player to criticize Garrett with some conspiracy crap.

Wade got fired because the entire team packed it up once Romo went down. If Garrett was trying to get rid of Wade, the players including Ware, Ratliff, and Hatcher all played a role in it by not doing a dang thing. They made a mockery of us on national TV - it was, in my memory, the most embarrassing loss we've ever had.

Say what you want about Garrett, it hasn't hit this level yet. Hatcher, for whatever reason, is talking out of his butt - there is a weird bias here.

Most embarrassing loss has to be the Ravens in 08. That was shameful considering it was the last game played there.

And I will once again state, despite them stating Garrett tried this - they ALL gave up on Wade and ALL played better once Wade was fired.

Again, there is no sense you can make of this - either they were all in on it, or it wasn't happening. There is more evidence pointing to these players trying to get Wade out than Garrett.

And no, it's not just an "opinion" it's a claim and one that should be backed up.

No, it's an opinion. They asked him and he gave his opinion on Romo. That's how he felt about Romo. When former player's praise Romo , do you say it's not opinion, It's a claim that should be backed up? I'm pretty sure you don't.

Hatcher wasn't the first player to say this about jg. I'm not saying I 100% believe it but where there is smoke sometimes there is fire.

“When we came out of the preseason and we began the season…we looked around the room. We’re saying: ‘why are we still running the stuff that we were running in preseason in week one?’ And it continued throughout the season. And you can look at the offensive production. There were times I’d be standing on the sidelines and the defenders would be literally calling out our routes. And it wasn’t like they were guessing. There were times when the DB’s would literally back-off and go to where we would be going.”

“Literally, we looked around the room asking: ‘What is this?…we had whole new plays. We were going downfield. We were taking more chances…we were like ‘whoa’, where was this?..It was different, it was more explosive. The things that we wanted to do all year, we got a chance to do…The next game we scored like 40 points.”

Lots of people butthurt and in denial about gold jacket romo. But this story confirms a convo on talking cowboys in 2018 where they were kinda saying the same things (but in a more subtle way).

We didn't give up against the Ravens - a tough loss, but we weren't on national TV where players were outright refusing to tackle, arguing and pointing fingers on the sideline, and then having to deal with all of sports media mocking us and talking about Wade's firing the next day. This was truly worse.

A guy whose last season was before Dak was drafted says Dak makes his teammates better... when Dak may be the preeminent example in the NFL of a player propped up by his teammates. Sounds brilliant.

You think he doesn’t have ties to people on the team? You naive as hell

This is, again, a stupid response.

"Hey here is the MVP of our team, let's follow him to victory!"

"Oh, our MVP just went down. Let's give up. But he's not a leader though!"

Your argument is bad as always. And Hatcher already lacks sense on his argument against Wade, which calls into question his "opinion" on Romo.

Have you ever played team sport's ? It's not unusual for your best player to go down and the team gives up. Especially when the team is already 1-5. It doesn't make him a leader. Doesn't make him liked by player's. It just makes him a good player that players know without they really dont stand a chance.

He didn't JUST give his opinion on Romo, he made an accusation about Garrett. So no, it's not just "opinion".

And again, I can give you evidence on something we SEE rather than rumors from former players that they were complicit in this. I don't believe it because it doesn't fit their narrative about what we saw in the Jags and Packers game and then what we saw from that game on.

It had nothing to do with "scheme" it had to do with lack of effort and players not wanting to be there FOR Wade. Seems maybe these players are trying to scapegoat.

If you ever played a team sport you would know there is more ways to lead than one. Let's go ahead and get into detail about what Hatcher believes to be a leader - seems he has issues with Romo not being "social". That's not all how you lead.

Again, whether he noticed or not, he got up and rallied around Romo - which again, seems to be that he knew there was SOME hope left in a lost season because we had a QB that could perform. Doing things through performing is a leadership quality - it just wasn't what Hatcher qualified as one, because well, he's not a bright guy.

He's the dummy that got ran out of Washington over a stupid comment.

Big balls talking about Wade and Garrett ten? years after the fact. Lol yawn.

“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."

2nd confirmation on Garrett sabotage. It’s now confirmed. Idgit time to fess up.....and it’s more proof of what was said by some about dak vs romo. Romo simply didn’t have “it” and dak has it in Spaids.

Thanks for playing.

Naw I'm not saying it makes him more credible......I'm just willing to listen to someone who doesn't have ties to this team. I honestly can't trust the opinions of Aikman, Emmitt, Irvin, Ware, Romo, etc. They are going to tell us what they want us to know.

My point about Ware is that his ties were severed by the Cowboys letting him walk as a free agent just like Hatcher, and the reason those ties were revived is because Ware didn’t find the reasons to be bitter that Hatcher has. Im not saying Hatchers wrong, but unless we start seeing more of these comments it would seem his attitude is more the exception than the rule.

Especially since he was part of the reason Wade was sent packing.

Maybe he should have spoke up about camp cupcake instead of using Garrett as a scapegoat.

Big_D · Mar 12, 2019

Both coaches needed to go yet 1 clown is still here 10 years later. Truly unbelievable. Garrett was just as much to blame for a team that completely fell apart and should've been fired the same day.

If the “it” factor you speak of is the ability to sail a football three feet over your receivers heads and calling yourself a leader while your team is riddled with suspensions, then yes Dak has it in “Spaids”.
