F.O. has failed this offseason

I agree we could have been more aggressive this offseason in filling needs, but I also think the sentiment around the front office is were closer to 12-4 than 4-12.

Regarding backup QB, Weeden and Cassel werent terrible backup options and we saw Weeden go on to win games in Houston. The coaching staff just did a poor job adjusting the game plan for both these QBs. In addressing the backup QB position this offseason, there really wasnt much in free agency to make a play for. We attempted to trade up for a QB in the draft, but it didnt workout.

DE defitinetly could have been addressed this offseason and is the one position I fault the FO for not making a serious move on. They could have targeted Mario Williams, or atleast grabbed Chris Long as insurance for a modest deal.

I initially thought we should bring Hardy back too, but the decision is now based far beyond the negative media attention of last season. If it was solely about the off the field incident and not what occured in the locker room then I do think he would be back. After assessing the situation further I have no issue with the FO decision.

I agree that Romac should be released, you would think he would have learned something from his 4 game suspension last offseason. Its clear he doesnt care enough about football and should be cut.

There is no doubt that the coaches and front office think that the reason for the 4-12 season was Romo's injury and if he stays healthy, that the team will be Super Bowl contenders with him this year. I think they was not nearly aggressive enough in improving the roster this offseason due to that thinking. There is a good chance it will come back to haunt them.
 
Well his teammates always seem to speak highly of him. The panthers players wanted him back.
Even if he was a terrible teammate, he's not the first and certainly not the last, yet others continue to play. Only reason Hardy isnt playing is because people dont believe in innocent until proven guilty

Actually, there were rumors that players in Carolina didn't like him. Cris Carter said as much.
And there were players on the Cowboys who didn't like him either. And let's not mention the coaches.
Look, if Hardy had done what he was supposed to do, he would still be on this team. He didn't. He's not.
We've moved on. I suggest those who want him back to move on also.
 
Start the countdown for Hardy's return to Dallas before the team heads off to Cali for training camp.

One must (or could if desired) wonder what happened to the high motor and technique seen in that clip? That's an example of exactly why he was signed in the first place but the same level of productive effort turned sporadic and diminished quickly. In my opinion real life events swiftly took a toll on him mentally and he became a shell of the same player. Also take into consideration the circumstances from those same real life events that swirled around him and the team as the season progressed and one would conclude his re-signing as a very remote, bleak and and virtually nonexistent possibility.
 
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.

This shows your just out trolling.

Its a new year, let it go. Here's a positive spin for you. Last year was a down payment for Zeke. :)

1) At one point, every one and their brother was praising Weeden as one of the better backups. So it wasn't just Garrett. How about putting the blame where it belongs, on Weeden. I got a dog, a pure breed retriever, champion lines, runs like a deer, trained her to do all the things a hunting dog can do. Turns out that dog don't hunt.

3) I don't think you can rate the free agent pickups until they actually play....

Lets see how the Giants 7 1/2 sack 75 million dollar man does eh?

4) I think you may regret this one. ROY might be Zeke's weakest accomplishment. Taking an impact player is what you do in the top 5.

5) Ro was given a chance and failed. He failed himself the most. It won't cost the Cowboys a dime unless they cut him right now. He will sit at home under contract making nothing since his contract was play based incentive laden. If you want to get ahead of 31 other teams, you take chances on guys like this. It worked some, not enough. Move on.


6) Hardy was a cancer. Late, undisciplined, bad example, not a team guy. There is some depth on this line, people just don't see it yet. McClain was playing well when he was healthy, he's back.

I don't remember anybody being on the Weedan bandwagon except Jerry and the coaches and they were proved wrong .it is not the first time.
 
4-12 left a bad taste in all of our mouths. As it should...but the farther I have gotten away from the 2015 season the more I see clearly and objectively. Looking forward to the start of TC and the season.

Man the offseason is LONG after a horrible season! Lol!

Well said !!! Go COWBOYS !!!!
 
That post is not trolling. He list the reasons that supports his opinion. You may not agree with him, but that doesn't make him a troll.

If it's not all sunshine, lollipops and rainbows, some fans can't handle it.



That's their problem.

That's the pattern here. Blame the player, never the coaches. Despite the fact that Garrett has failed with each and every quarterback not named Romo.

But, yeah, blame the players, each and every one of them...

:facepalm:

Outside of the Pats game, Weeden played well. His QBR was better than Romo's.
