You are very good at coming around and saying that people dont know what they are talking about, then saying absolutely zero to prove it or back it up...
This is a fair point, given that I called out visionary in this very thread for something similar. I was on a phone earlier, and being lazy, but here are some examples of what I was referring to when I said that people are willing to interpret events with absolutely zero tether to reality or available evidence. Note, I didn't say that you didn't know what you were talking about. I said you were willing to believe things without any support whatsoever. For example:
--The idea that Linehan and/or Marinelli 'took the reins' from JG in a way that's different from what goes on on any other team in the league
--The idea that Jason Garrett is in inadequate OC, despite the good performance of the offense during his tenure as OC
--The idea that Jason Garrett was ever 'in the way on Sundays' or that he's a 'trash game day coach'
--The idea that his W/L record is somehow a liability when it's actually relatively good, overall
--The idea that he didn't have input into the hiring of his defensive staff, especially his DC
--The idea that we somehow 'stumbled into' a good OL without regard to who we actually drafted, and where we drafted them
--The idea that we're winning games b/c of the running game, and that JG had nothing to dow with the changes there despite everything that was said to the contrary on the topic at the time of the Linehan hire
--The idea that it's the hiring of Will McClay that's made the difference in the drafting and player development under Jason Garrett
--The idea that our offense was ineffective when it was pass happy, and that that led to too many 3 and outs, when it was actually fairly effective his entire tenure
--That Jason Garrett threw a hissy fit in the draft room. Or that he wanted to draft Sharrif Floyd for some reason, when nobody knows what that discussion was actually about
--Or the idea that all a HC does to prepare a team for an NFL draft is what he does while on a web cam for 20 hours the days of the actual draft
--The idea that the problems the team had the prior three seasons were offensive. Moreover that they were related to play calling. Despite the offensive production/series during that time
--The idea that Jerry Jones told Jason Garrett that he's no long running his own offense, which obviously never happened
--The idea that defensive coordinators dictated to Jason Garrett where they wanted the ball to go when he's fielded many years of effective NFL offenses
--The idea that we were slow or lethargic offensively over the last several seasons, when we weren't
--The idea that Jerry Jones had to keep Jason Garrett because of Jerry's ego, and not because he approved of the job he was doing
--The idea that Jason Garrett is a 'horrendous play caller' and that Jerry Jones also somehow thinks that, too
That's just from this thread. And it's not everything from this thread. All of which is completely made up or something you can only choose to believe if you also choose not to look at the actual performance of the offense or the team during the Jason Garrett era. It's unsupportable spin and a negative fantasy. For no other reason than some of you don't want to admit that you were wrong about the HC and about the direction of the team the last four seasons. Thankfully, I don't think anybody but you three or four who are posting it really buys it. Even the rest of the typically-negativey posters on the board are keeping a low profile on the topic. The rest of us are just glad to have a good coach in place and to be looking forward to TC with a team that's deeper and better by any reasonable estimation than the team we fielded in 2014.
