Yes! the measuring stick is WINS !
Regular season wins, Division Title wins, playoffs wins, NFC Championship wins, .... Super Bowl wins !!
We are the Dallas Cowboys for crying out loud.
What has happened to this franchise?
too many things happened, and it snowballed.
Overpaid contracts and drafting for backups, and trading down to avoid paying 1st round contracts. That was the late 90's.
Thinking the core players [the triplets] could win with decent surrounding cast. So drafting for "depth" did not help.
This continued for a long time as we all know.
Everyone wants to blame Jerry, and rightfully so, since he says he has the final say.
But also I blame some on Parcells. I never liked the idea of going to the 3-4, then you bring in a slew of players. Many older vets he had a history with, or wanted. Because Jerry listened to him, there were overpaid players yet again, or still. Players that never really panned out. People seem to forget about those players and deals. However, Parcells also brought in some talent, through the draft, but if those older vets weren't brought in, what difference it could have been. Again, that's hard to say.
Enter Wade, because they wanted to stay with the 3-4, right choice, who can say. Hindsight says no. Looked like it was going good, then it tanked, big time. So Garrett needed to fix this
Garrett started weeding out those older overpaid players, and still is, while trying to build for a long term run [long term now days 2 to 4 year run].
I still believe he is heading in the right direction, but is time running out. As I said, this is the year to see if is working [providing decent health for once].
If it's the same results, then yes, we need an entire change. I won't be happy with just a playoff appearance and a loss. It needs to be win the division, and a playoff win, but if we lose the 2nd playoff game, it needs to be a good game. If healthy, and IF we have all this talent, then let's see it.
