Blame Garrett, Wade, or Father Time?

[CF74]

So let me get this straight for everyone keeping score at home you're a Garrett fan but not a Romo fan?

I used to despise Garrett until I realized it was actually Romo messing up...

So you think Orton will give us a better chance to win tonight then if Romo was playing?

 

[Fizziksman]

lol Garrett apologist

 

[TTexasTT]

Exactly and that's why I asked lol. I want to meet someone who loves all three too!

Im that guy.

So you think Orton will give us a better chance to win tonight then if Romo was playing?

Absolutely because Romo has been playing hurt longer than we know. The way I see it he's really only had one good game all year vs Denver and padded his stats against sub .500 teams...

Orton is not all world but he's a healthy Vet with a half decent arm surrounded by weapons of mass destruction. Dez et al...

 

[CF74]

Garrett's offense is super predictable and vanilla because Tony Romo has a supposedly weak arm?

No...no it isn't. It's predictable because Jason Garrett has the creativity of a tree stump. When Romo is moving receivers on his own at the line to take advantage of a favorable match up something is wrong with the play book.

How about last year when the offense was more effective with Romo calling the shots (hurry up) than with Garrett calling the plays?

The system is terrible and isn't built around the strengths of the players within it.

How many times have we seen Romo get picked off by a LB because Romo's pass has no zip anymore? Countless....

You're exaggerating quite a bit here. Romo hasn't thrown many interceptions this year period let alone to linebackers.

 

[jobberone]

Garrett just realized the benefits of putting Dez in the slot 3 weeks ago after 4 years. That, in itself, is worthy of getting canned.

I don't think this is an accurate statement.

Are we talking about one season here or since Garrett took over? Romo has been declining since 2010....

Tony Romo just had one of his best statistical seasons this year.

Are you trying to say that if this team had even an average defense they wouldn't already have clinched this division? Jerry needs to start looking for Romo's replacement but when it comes to this team's issues Romo is far down the list.

Spare me the stats because they only tell part of the story. Yes the D is depleted but they have kept us in most games the first half and got tired when Romo started having a bunch of 3 and outs later in the game.. The D has won some games for us when Romo was putrid, like the 1st Giants and Eagles game for instance...

When you have failure under one coach, you blame the coach. When you have failure under two coaches, you blame the coaches and the GM. When you have failure under every coach over many years, you blame the front office.

Jerry don't be so hard on yourself ole buddy...

For all the Garrett haters and Romo-apologists I wanna remind you it was Garrett's offense that led us to 13-3 and 11-5 back when Romo and company were healthy. We don't have a complete team like we did back then, we have spare parts. I also wanna remind everyone about Wade's entire draft devoted to special teams, man what a tard. Wade left the guy a team that quit with a bunch of broken down Vets and washouts..

When Garrett took over he told us we were in "Rebuilding Mode." Does anybody recall that? Beuhler? Look at the roster, we've replaced every single guy on the O-line since the meltdown against the Vikings in the playoffs and not one of those old broken down parts were in the league more than a season after. We've replaced all the RB's, and all but one WR with Millie hamstring limping around collecting $8 mill while doing nothing.. We've replaced all our DB's since those days and a whole lot of other positions. We've replaced somewhere between 85-90% of the team...

We have almost no pass rush and Ware is a shell of who he used to be much like Romo. And yet we are still in contention.. These backups fight for Garrett, we've only been blown out twice this year and it was to some good teams.. Romo gave us one last hurrah against Denver and then he fizzled out..

The real problem has been Jerry over paying vets and missing on a bunch of drafts..

"Going back to 2009, the Cowboys have drafted 41 players. Depending on your definition of success, 11 of those draftees are worth a bleep. This is not a coaching issue; these draftees are coming in, being cut and staying at home. No one else is signing these guys.

(While we’re at it — the Cowboys gave a 33-year-old QB coming off back surgery the second-most guaranteed money in NFL history. And Tony Romo just had his second back surgery. Bad backs never get right; they just get less wrong.)

In the ’70s and ’90s, the Cowboys defined success by Super Bowls, whether they got there or won. This (Romo) era of the team will be defined by the postseason, whether they got there or won a game."

Needs BPA in any order: DE, NG, DT, G, LB, QB, DB, OT
I believe we have 2-3 comps coming to us..

LMAO!!!!

Ten picks all year.

 

[CF74]

Ten picks all year.

Reduced to bus driver, it helps..

 

[khiladi]

Bwahahahahahahaha!

So now the latest argument is Garrett is responsible for Wade's wins.... Man, just comical

 

[TwentyOne]

I'd blame Santa Clause. Hasnt brought me enough presents and someone has always to be blamed.

 

[khiladi]

Can somebody explain to me why Garrett's offense was last in play action last year and Romo had one of his worst seasons statistically in terms of TD-INT ratios?

Was Wade telepathically controlling this offense?

 

[khiladi]

I remember when TO was supposedly killing Garrett's offense. I remember when Jerry leveraged 3 draft picks to get Roy Williams to get the double-teams off of TO, because it was a matter of players. What are we now in? Six years of a Garrett offense where last year, the Garrett homers were first telling us Dez didn't no how to run routes and now we are back to the old argument that nobody is forcing the double teams off Dez... Or that Romo isn't taking chances to Dez in double coverage...
