I truly believe the front office has failed us this offseason...here's my reasons.
1. Jason Garrett and his staff got a free pass for last years debacle. its totally inexcusable that this staff could not win without Romo. and whoever the genius was that decided we needed to trade for Cassel is an idiot.
2. The single most glaring need was a decent vet qb after last seasons disgrace, even S.Jones said after the season that backup QB would be a top priority. No action has been taken. None whatsoever!!
3. Free Agency - was a big strike out, we netted nothing other than maybe Thornton to replace Hayden. Mayowa was also signed when the Raiders decided to not to match our offer. Morris was signed also, but was he really needed?
4. The Draft - 1st off Elliott, I like the pick, I don't mind the pick, but in all fairness, we probably should've traded down and tried to maximize that pick, we just have to many needs not too mention we need depth just about everywhere other than OL. The Smith pick was a disaster, one can hope he recovers, just too risky of a pick for us with the current roster we have. i can stomach the rest of the draft.
5. RoMac - why do we continue to put up with this guys crap?
6. Greg Hardy - It amazes me that we continue to turn our back on him, he can be signed to a team friendly one year deal and INSTANTLY be our best DL. It should be a no-brainer since both of our starting DE's are suspended for the first 4 games.
those are just a few thoughts off the top of my head...i am still optimistic about this season, but truthfully a lot of things will have to go our way...with the #1 thing being if this team can stay relatively healthy.
1.trade for Cassel..... this was not JG, probably the jones boys , JG wanted to stay with weedon
Jason Garrett and his staff got a free pass .......they will continue to get a pass, no matter what they do this year or next.
2.decent vet qb...... there are not many that are worth what they would have to pay for them.
and it doesnt matter if JG and linehan continue to run the same offense, and cant adapt to another QB
I think Aaron Rodgers would struggle in JG's offense.
The jones boys are gambling that tony makes it thru season and plays at least 14 games.
Moore can be a decent bkup, last year he did not go thru TC, and did not play in pre season, so he has to benefit
From a full offseason, and all the camps, and we should see him in PS and can judge him from that.
3.Free Agency - was a big strike out....... not really , cedric at DT could make a big difference, the other guys in FA
were probably not worth what they were paid. However it does look like they should have got a vet LB.
Also after paying dez, and the OL coming soon, dallas could not afford any big contracts for FA.
4. The Draft - I liked the elliot pick , but not the Jaylon pick
5.RoMac -well he is cheap, and now he is really cheap, he loses over half of what he would have made this year, and it
goes back to the cap, so it isnt costing dallas any money right now, if they keep him , they only pay for the last 6 games,
and he will be fresh at game 11 so this could be a good thing. Had he played from start he would be wore out by game 10.
6.Greg Hardy - I have to agree with you here, I dont know what he would sign for, so money might be a factor, but if they could
get him back for around 500,000 a game they should have done it.
I think he would have been much better this year.
I do think the coaches and JG were the ones saying dont resign him. The incident with ST coach is a big reason they
didnt want him back. JG didnt want Hardy, and couldnt handle him.
7.overall it wasnt a bad offseason, or draft, dallas has enough talent, it just depends on how the coaches utilize it.
This season is all on the coaches, I doubt our passing offense changes, they will just run more, going back to the
2014 formula.
The main problem is still protecting tony from the guys who come free thru the gaps, our coaches seem to have
no answer to that.
