31st ranked offense with the #1 rusher in the league... Wonder what the issue is.

But Zeke is an idiot in his own right too.

OC needs to go, but I don't know who a suitable replacement would be.

Get Darell Bevell.

Nuclear option.

Fire Garrett and Linehan and turn it over to Kris Richard. He's familiar with Bevell from Seattle.

Nope. Romo was done. Needed a new QB anyway. This is on the FO.

I think he is a young kid who needs a lot more around him. I think with a veteran like Romo (again not to harp on this), you would have a QB that would make sure he is dialed in.

Tony Romo always had great receivers and tight ends.

I thought people said Dez sucked and Tony made him a good receiver. Which is it?

Was Austin a great receiver or was it Romo? I mean he did nothing when he wasn't with Romo. Same is true for Terrence Williams. Laurent Robinson was all world without Romo... oh wait he had 1/3 of his career receptions during that one season with Romo.

I am not saying bring Romo back, or he was without faults, but he made receivers better than they were. Either that or these receivers were all great and it was just the rest of the QB's they played with were horrible. T.O. was the only receiver Romo played with that had the same success without Romo as they did with him (for a myriad of reasons I concede for some).

Dak had more passing yards during his rookie year than Aikman had for any season during his entire career. Back in Aikman days there were gunslingers like Steve Young and Brett Favre.

Yet a lot of Cowboy fans on this forum believes a QB like Romo who can throw for many yards per game is what the Cowboys need.

How many championships did the great Romo and Danny White help generate for the Cowboys?

At least Danny White played in three straight NFC Championship games.

That was a different era, an era when WR were getting mugged and Aikman and Irvins timing was to perfection. Apples and oranges, you cant even touch WRs now and they still cant get open...

Wonder why said rusher is only averaging 16 att per game? For being built as a run oriented team we certainly don't play that way.

Because the QB is awful, that's why. You have to be able to sustain drives in this league. How hard is that for people to understand?

Owens success with Romo came very late in his career. His time with Romo was certainly a rebound and return to form.

Maybe, maybe not. But there always seems to be something with this talented bonehead. I just get the feeling he's not very smart. He doesn't get it, and at this point I have little reason to believe he suddenly will.

His stupid "feed me" celebration is a great example. Your team is struggling, you make one play, and you somehow think you deserve to celebrate. It shows me a total lack of awareness of your situation and circumstances. To say nothing of his nervous gaffs and screw ups yesterday.

Sure, he piled up yards and make his own stats look good, but he also heavily contributed to a loss with his own mistakes.

I can appreciate his talents while admitting that he's not my kind of a guy and I'll likely never be his biggest fan.

It's also a clear indictment of a playcaller that's a moron. It is possible to run the ball on second and even third down as well. Linehan never got that memo.

Long long time? Do you maths?

I don't think he is an Einstein, but I don't think he has a reputation for mental mistakes on the field. He has no history of it. He does have a history of checking out of games when things aren't going well, which you can put right on the feet of this QB and this HC.

He hasn't been the focal part of this offense since week 1 and somehow is still leading the league in rushing yards...

How many starting QB' s do you know of playing with major back issues?

So true.

I was going to throw Terry Glenn in there but they only played together for like 6 games. Man I would have loved to see them together for awhile.

What's more impressive is that Cardinals are 32nd with 20 points.
How is that possible?
Poor Fitz.

Chiefs have scored more points in week 2 than we have in 3 weeks.

Sam Bradford might be the worst QB in the league. Worse than Dak.

No clear indication of anything beyond Dak. If we run on third and 3 (let's say) and don't get it, fans will be blaming the play calling too. Lest you forget, we ran on third and 1 yesterday and did not get it. And fans were complaining.

So what?

That says more about no running backs having a great start to the season more than anything about Zeke Elliott doing well.

Makes me laugh that people are still clamoring for Romo. Lol It's like having a new girlfriend but all you do is talk about your ex.

He's gone. Move on.

Lol, when you go from a Jessica Alba to a Sandra Bernhard, I think that's kind of natural.

If he was willing, and kept himself in shape, I'd be on the phone with Romo right this second.

Do your homework.

Look at how few times this team even tries to run the ball.

You point to one attempt yesterday as if it's indicative of anything. It isn't.

Fair enough. It has definitely been a downgrade.
