Game Day ***Cowboys vs Panthers post game thread***

[Dave_in-NC]

I just don't think this roster is as great as some think it is.

It's not as bad as it's been coached either.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Jerry was not the same then. Know the history of the Cowboys before you attempt to understand it. Jimmy didn't face the same obstacles nor have the same restrictions on him that Garrett does now.

It's a terrible comparison.

I know the history quite well, bruh. You need to step back from your rage. Jerry is not going anywhere. It's a matter of finding a coach who can work and win with him.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

No the coach is awful.

 

[phildominator]

Parcells did better with less. because he could coach.

In all fairness, only a few others in history can do what Parcells did.

 

[Risen Star]

Then paint me embarrassed I guess. This roster under the right coach could consistently win. Not 8-8 not one good year. You should be embarrassed
to not be able to admit JG can't coach. Parcells did better with less. because he could coach.

I am thoroughly embarrassed that I'm not wasting my time complaining with the masses about the coach of the month and instead realize where the cancer really lies.

I should be like you. Blaming it on Garrett. Like you blamed it on Wade. Like you blamed it on Parcells, Campo, Gailey, Switzer. Like you'll blame it on the poor schmuck who eventually succeeds Garrett.

A competitive coach could. A mediocre coach can't.

Did he have a back issue this year?

You guys are moving the goalposts. I was responding to the notion that Romo's career "might be over now". What would the back issue have to do with that? He hasn't had one this year. He's only had a completely irrelevant to 2016 broken clavicle.

You know what I've learned posting on these boards for too many years? You'll say your dumbest things right after tough losses.

The point is that he has a life long back issue. He has said that. He must baby it which is why he is the only QB to take every Wednesday off to keep it from flaring up. Am I wrong about that? He has to work on stengthing his muscles to keep his back from having a reinjury. Now he has a weakened colarbone that has broken 3 times. Tell me that it won't be in his head. My point was at some point he starts worrying about reinjury vs the play. The man is human. Just because he didn't hurt his back in the 3.5 games he has played this year doesn't change the risk.

A word of wisdom, telling people they are stupid makes one look arrogant

 

[Staubacher]

A few dings? He had 2 back operations and 3 broken clavicles. Missing time in 0-8 cost 2 games and a playoff birth at 9-7, and the one game in 2013 we lost and wouldnt have had him for the playoffs anyway.

Its a true statement.

If Romo were a horse they wouldn't shoot him yet but they would have him stop racing and start studding out future QBs

If the coaches hadn't stopped him, Manziel would surely be taking us to the promised land now. That's what the coaching staff has to deal with as their grocery-shopper.

I got it - not sure who else did.

Firing Garrett does absolutely nothing to improve this team if that's the highest the changes go and most of these guys are too clueless to know it.

But they'll eventually get their wish, celebrate with some team colored fingerpainting, get excited for the next season, slowly begin to sour on his replacement and then reform the lynch mob.

 

[Staubacher]

Well goodnight folks. I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving. The game certainly dampened it for us. We can all agree this season has been an utter disappointment in every single way. Such is a part of our lives in which we really have zero control, only hope.

The rest of this season will not be as fun and we will have a skeptical eye all offseason but renewed hope come next fall.

Of course your just running your mouth as usual. Never blamed Parcells for any thing. Wish he was here two more years minimum. No problem with Gailey either. If you had no problem with Switzer you have no clue. Campo is in the same category as Garrett to me. Never should have been a HC.
I know where the cancer starts. That doesn't mean the coach can't plan a game better.

Could always hire a consultant, like a Dan Reeves. Wait.

You are so right about this. Parcells got his first year team to the playoffs with Quincy Carter and Troy Hambrick as his main cogs. That's all you need to know about why coaching matters. Not everyone is on Parcells level but there are many guys better that what Garrett has shown us.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

In all fairness, only a few others in history can do what Parcells did.

Not arguing that. Accept for the most part Garrett has received what he's wanted. Then does nothing with it.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Just because Jerry is the cause of the Cowboys problems doesn't mean we should have to put up with a mediocre coach even though Jerry will just pick another mediocre one to replace him.

 

[PBCCowboy]

His death. I hate to say this and I'm not trying to be funny or going for shock value. I have been a DC fan for 40 years and remember the days of Laundry. Dorsett, Staubach etc. Then I went through the mid 90's with the change over from former regime to the current regime. The early success was nice. But the reality is we've only won 2 playoff games in 20 years.



One poster said that he'll never forgive Jerry and Garret for wasting Romo's career. I also agree with that. I've forgiven Jerry for firing Laundry, Jimmy Johnson debacle, hiring Switzer, Quincy Carter, Dave Campo. But I'll never forgive Jerry for wasting the careers of Romo and Witten.
.

Laundry???

 

[Risen Star]

Of course your just running your mouth as usual. Never blamed Parcells for any thing. Wish he was here two more years minimum. No problem with Gailey either. If you had no problem with Switzer you have no clue. Campo is in the same category as Garrett to me. Never should have been a HC.

LOL. Garrett shouldn't be a HC but Chan Gailey? I never had a problem with him.

It's going to be a looooooong offseason.

Its a true statement.

He's been out more than some but not a statistically significant amount more than some HOFers. And it almost always costs teams to lose their starter so that's not going to work. His back procedures were during the 16th game of one season and in the offseason for another I believe.

While Aikman and Romo have about the same amt of missed time Aikman overall has had much better protection.
