A-.

The only thing keeping it from being an A+ is letting Dan Reeves get away.

Still, though, great job Jerry and Wade. Especially on TO.

Last I checked Jason Witten was still on the team.

We didnt'.

See Romo, Witten, MB. I'd even put Felix as more important in our offense than TO. If jason knew that we might have made the playoffs (not lost to WASH).

If we didnt make some poor extensions, we could of had like $15 million more in cap room and signed Nate Washington, and another corner. But judging it from the end of the season only, a B+.

I disagree with the incomplete straddlers..if you want to grade a draft class immediately after the draft and give an incomplete I can understand. However, with free agency, holes, proven, players, and $$$ shelled out, I for one believe that is more than enough to provide a grade. My opinion is as follows: A+

if the season started today jerry would get an F. so would a lot of good teams.

we hadn't signed a true starter until today.

stewart is a pure special teams guy, kitna is a backup, brooking is a 2 down player except against passing teams than perhaps a 1 down guy.


this off-season is the very definition of incomplete.
we have holes to fil and plenty of time left to fill them.

i dont think t.o. was the "best" player on offense but it is clear he is the only one right now with hall of fame stats.

whatever the case he is gone and it is time to move on with guys whose best football is in front of them.

dont really see why a guy signed to a minimum wage deal to backup at various LB positions and play special teams warrants a "D"

I was referring to his playing value, which wasn't much in Atlanta.
Hey, what a coincidence, Wade was in Atlanta, too.

B+

Stewart released, Decamillis brought in, TO/pacman/tank gone, bigger version of zach thomas that actually knows the system, productive DE, serviceable backup for Romo, henry gone.

We're actually looking like a legitimate no BS club right now. I'm anxious to see how the defense looks at the beginning of the season with Wade in full control of them. Also it'll be relieving not to cringe any time our special teams is on the field.

Too early to say until the after the draft

I am not fussed either way about the TO situation but it is hiding the real problem which is that the o-line sucked last year. If Tony does not get better protection it does not matter who the WR corp is as he will be taken out again like last year

If I was romo and had to play another game with procter protecting me, I'd ask for a trade. I just hope flo and kosier are fully healed and step it up

B+ Now find some players that can Block, Cover and tackle in the draft... No guys with injury records, checkered pasts or quarterbacks changing positions...

B - I think they are on the right track. They have brought in some character players and got rid of some characters.

Brooking -- C
Stewart -- D
Igor ------ Jury still out
Kitna ----- B

Averages out to a C

C? You #@$%ing kidding me? Try at least a B+, bordering A-.

Cutting Team Obliterator and Roy "I ate the last biscuit" Williams instantly gave the Cowboys a B+. Adding Keith Brooking and now Igor Olshansky has the Cowboys bordering all A's.
