Romo had Parcells as HC one year then Garrett as his OC then HC for 9/10ths of his career. The same Garrett who lasted a half season as the Jints OC and now can’t even get a college job so he spews his platitudes on TV.
What have we won with Dak? Regular season participation trophy? Early to mid 20s draft picks?
What did we win before Dak?
Thats not what his stats show, he had a career year
Everyone has a Mahomes on the bench ready to go, dont they?
The crazy thing is you’re right, he did. But the first thing he says after the GB game? “I sucked”
Is it really the coaching? We've seen this offense really put up points and play well. Yes the defense is a problem but we have seen this defense hold good teams down and the offense still sputters. I think the fact that this is Jerry's team undermines these coaches to the point where the players are only half respecting the coach and there is no accountability. I also think Dak clams up too bad in big games and he isn't going to get any better. He doesn't have the ability to chip away at defense and break it down when there is any kind of pressure. This is what happens when you have a QB that has had to work so hard on straightening out his mechanics and who gets easily confused by defenses. You can't have both those issues. You have to have sound strong mechanics to build off of.
Excellent point! Daks play against these playoff teams is so bad that even a guy like Cooper Rush MIGHT play better in a playoff game. There wouldn't be any pressure on him and he does get rid of the ball quicker than Dak. But I don't think Rush is the long term answer for this team.
Imagine if he wasn’t coddled here and didn’t have such a good roster and wasn’t playing in the NFC East.. say if he played with the Texans that Stroud was on…. His warts have been masked to an incredible degree on this team and you can argue possibly the players know it, which is what is alluded to by guys like Stephen Smith who last off-season said that the players insinuated the question they have is about Dak, not anybody else on the roster.
Anybody on the Cowboys sells merchandise. Even Hot-headed Dez was a top 5 jersey seller with Romo and Witten. This is also a myth that without Dak, Jerry wouldn’t sell merchandise.
If he got this team to the SB, then even I wouldn’t have anything to say regarding a contract extending if him in the off-season.
Analyze the 6 losses and tell me how Dak played. Throw in a fantastic game against the Commanders who absolutely quit the last game of the season. A Philly team whose defense was crap the last time they played, a Giants defense that was crap, and a few others.
Are you talking about when once salary cap came into effect and Jerry could no longer just buy and pay for a super team around Aikman?
did that get us to the SB?
No one said it did.
