I grew up watching the Cowboys set trends and innovate. No more.
It's unreal the direction this team has taken since Jimmy Johnson left. And it's clear the Jerry Jones has zero respect for real coaching like we got from Parcells. While not perfect, Parcells sent this organization in the right direction that slowly dissipated after he left, just as with Johnson.
Watching New England perform so well, and win again, while missing Brady, Gronkamole, OL-men, and others is a testament to the hard work of the head coach, the assistants and scouts. New England is always disciplined, focused and prepared.
Jerry has had Romo for over ten years, and has completely wasted his career trying to fulfill his fantasy of being a football guru. The problem comes when you don't put in Ted Thompson time, or Bill Belichick time scouring the earth for undiscovered talent so you don't have to take risks in the second or third rounds of the draft.
His training of JG is a failure, and he doesn't have the maturity to find a real coach and a real GM. Because, as he's told us through the media, he wants credit for building a winner. Wants that more than anything, even winning.
But this team's situation won't change, and the result will continue to be .500 football.
