I have no problem with this. The only issue I have is that sometimes QB's who start to get more involved tend to forget about the run. I remember before Peyton came along, Dr. Z used to talk about how it was a shame that QB's didn't have more control over the offense since they would have a better feel for what is going on than a coach on the sidelines.

I'm not sure where this 'if he's not calling plays, then he's a lame duck head coach' talk came from. Most HC's in the league don't call plays. If they are good at it and are a good HC, it's really just a luxury because the owner doesn't have to worry about hiring new coordinators if they leave for somewhere else. But, it's a common practice.

This also tells me that many of the issues I see with the offense are more Garrett oriented than Romo oriented. That is..*if* I can ever trust a word that Mr. Blue Suit is saying.

But, this offense badly needs to speed up the plays at the line of scrimmage and needs to make things easier for the O-Line so they are not completely guessing on so many snap count cadences.

Agree 100%!

Garrett may have an extensive elaborate playbook but it serves no purpose if the personnel is unable to understand it, or execute it effectively the way its designed.
