At what point do we give up on the Romo-Ware-Witten-Garrett core?

[Dodger]

At what point do we stop assigning blame to Romo for the defense allowing the other team's QB a 120+ QB rating? That's what I'd like to know.

Um, we should have traded for Alex Smith?

Wow... Some things are just completely lost on people.

Say it again one more time so they can hear you

Hear what? I typed something in here that is just fact, thanks for your support.

Agreed.
Defense has been a problem as well for the past few seasons.

my man you've got to get in touch with reality. romo's reputation is in the mud around this league, fairly or not. if romo hit the market nobody is breaking down his door to sign him. he would have gotten the exact same deal whether he played out this year or not.

It is not necessarily "mud". He'd have a job in Arizona, Jacksonville, N.Y. Jets, Cleveland, Oakland, Minnesota and Tampa Bay immediately.

Would he be sought after by a team looking to get over the hump? Probably not.

But he would be a prize free agent in a QB poor league.

Like facetiousness and sarcasm at their expense?

You got it!

You really think any of those four were primarily responsible for yesterday's loss? And, if not, why suggest anybody give up on them?

ill take a stab at this, nothing against you personally. but lets try to look at the other side. Preface tho, i hate the whole youth movement sentiment. For starters lets say we have a youth movement of Terrance Williams, Dunbar, and Holloman, yes the same can be said of others, but a youth movement isnt always the case, so lets get that out of the way. In this instance, tho, I think you have to look at it because Witten, Romo, Ware, and Hatcher are NOT getting younger. So what do you do at this point? Insert one youth one year at a time? I dont think that is working, shall we get a young qb wiht older vet WR's? Whats the chances that may work?

I think th eorganization needs to look at the aging players and say to the next coach, "You have control of the roster" and if he wants to shave it, let him do it. This core isnt going to do it, its not going to be done this year and you cant keep fixing a flat tire, you will need a new tire. I for one am ready. Garrett has proven with help, he does not want this job. I for one am ready for the next guy. I hate to say it, i wanted to try and get behind garrett, but hes not doing it.

At some point, if you are losing the battle you have to look at the pieces and say "time to change tactics" It sucks, we all want to win, but right now our coaches are not looking at the pieces and saying "lets use our strenghts."

Im laying the blame on the coaches, and the organization, MO did not ask to be drafted, he was drafted, than we changed schemes, not his fault. Same wiht other players, its not their fault, the coaches and the scouting department need to get on the same page and get the players that fit the successful schemes, not the flavors of the week.

How many more years of this before we realize it's never going to happen for this core? Have some of you already come to this conclusion?

Just curious b/c we've changed a lot of pieces around these four but it always equals out to 8-8. Maybe its just not meant to be for these four in Dallas.

Ware was MIA yesterday until a timely offside. Witten with a key drop. Romo does not look like a 100M dollar QB. Garrett is still robotically preaching the process. Anybody else just sick of this **** with this core and ready to move on from all of it? I mean for crying out loud folks it's been a decade of this misery!

Ware and Witten half always played like the HOFers they are. They did not bobble the ball in Seattle. They did not thow the ball off of one foot in the Commanders game last year. They half not had 5 balls picked in one game.
It comes down to Romo, Mr. Great Stats, Mr. More Money Than Stephen Jones. Mr. We Have to Do Better.
Romo is not our QB of destiny. He is our QB of density in the big games.

We should have let him go and drafted the young man from east texas down in aggieland. Could you imagine the excitement that would have brought to this organization?

In our collective dreams. yet, that Johnny Loose Cannonball would surly self-implode with all that money and being around all them cowboys cheerleaders. I could jus see him yelling at Jerra and making jerra cry.
