I saw Jay Glazer on Colin Cowherd and Colin asked him about the Cowboys and Glazer said after covering the league as long as he has, his favorite player is Troy Aikman. Colin asked why and he said to do what Troy did in Dallas is so remarkable because everything is times 20. The microscope is unimaginable compared to very other team and that includes the Patriots. He said Keith Brookings said the same thing. He was simply not prepared mentally when he first got to Dallas to be scrutinized by the media, fans and even other players in the NFL because of all the teams, other players see the Cowboys the most because of their television schedule.
He said Dallas will wear you out if you're not a great player or emotionally really strong.
I thought that was very interesting.
Good analogy.
I think Jimmy Johnson was the best at handling that pressure.
He did it by making himself be the focus and he allowed the players and coaches to play.
And he burned out from the pressure.
We just saw Harbaugh do the same in Frisco.
Garrett has reached a good place with his career but I wonder how he is going to deal with the end of Romo's career and the fallout coming.
This season has to have made it perfectly clear that unless the team makes a move in the draft to find a future at the QB position..
all this noise about winning in Dallas is going to be laughed at.
When I look at teams like the Packers who have progressed from Farve to Rodgers and still won..
or the Colts with Manning and now Luck
you realize how far we are behind the curve.
It gets depressing.
