I refuse to believe we don't have talent

[Direwolf63]

The most talented guys on this team are either:

a) continually hurt
b) need an attitude adjustment
c) both

Lack of talent exists at RB, WR, DT, LB, CB, S.

 

[CATCH17]

There's plenty of talent on this team, imagine if the coaches knew how to maximize it. Dez should not be out on an island all game long. He should be all over that LOS running tons of shallow routes, corner routes from the slot, etc.With Dez and Bease in the slot, it could be a nightmare for teams. TWill is a slant guy, a deep post guy, shallow slant guy, but not an out route guy, a straight-line bomb guy. Witten should not always be in the slot, he could motion wide, and same with Escobar. If I EVER see guys like Beasley or Dez in one-on-one coverage, my audible is to either of those players.

On defense, you can walk the line with guys, and no one knows who's coming. Confuse teams, don't just barrel ahead and try to get the QB with 4 when all game long you couldn't do it. There's just nothing special or innovative about our offense and defense. Things like, show man, then morph into a zone. It's a chess match, and we suck at chess.

And I'm not asking them to reinvent the wheel but my gosh at least take us out of the 1950s.


Not only is our scheme outdated with no wrinkles but it is completely predictable when wee are going to run and pass.

 

[CATCH17]

Haha, yeah Quincy Carter...

But also, Darren Woodson, Dexter Coakley, Dat Nguyen, La'Roi Glover, Greg Ellis, Roy Williams, Terrance Newman, etc.

To be honest, Quincy had a decent group of guys to throw to: Rookie Witten, Terry Glenn, Antonio Bryant, Joey Galloway...

That team wasn't as bad as people would like to think, despite Quincy at QB.

Campo never lost 7 games In a row ever.

That is all JJ loves. He love his puppets.

And he has his Howdy Doody. lol

The talent on this team is, at the very best, average. An outstanding Tony Romo carried this team to 12 wins last year. A non existent Romo has lead to the mess we have today.

I think we are below average talent wise.

 

[texbumthelife]

Tough coaches produce tough teams...

This team lost 7 games game in a row, 4 of those consecutively by an average of 4.5 points. If they were devoid of talent they would've been getting their culos blasted every week. Talent obviously isn't the main issue, it's coaching. Not sure if it's against some rule for me to say that publicly.

Thank you for this.

 

[loublue22]

Yet with no dominating offense this season they have kept us in games. Our offense spotted Carolina points.

they have actually played pretty well, but they don't make any plays ever. That's what I mean when I say they don't have talent.

I don't see it that way. Romo, Murray, Dez, the O line and Callahan carried the team last year. Take Romo away and Dez checks out for the most part.
Take Callahan and Murray away and the O line isn't the same. Put JG atop the heap and you get nothing.

 

[LatinMind]

It's amazing that Parcells was able to take an awful team with quincy Carter at qb to a 10-6 record. Imagine what he would do with this team the last couple years

And Wade took a team that parcells couldnt get .500 with and went 11-3 with them.

And Wade took a team that parcells couldnt get .500 with and went 11-3 with them.

Huh? I thought Parcells last year was the year Romo fumbled the snap against Seattle I the playoffs? Maybe I'm wrong but I thought for sure that was the case

 

[Zman5]

Sadly, last years success may have set us back years and might've ended any chance of a real coach here in Dallas.

I'm so sick of the Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett types.

Don't insult Wade. He might suck as a HC but at least he knows how to be a good DC. What's JG good at except for clapping,butt smacking and giving speeches at team field trips.

Believe it our not. I think if Campo had a qb and some offense he probably would have made several playoff berths.

Dez is the only receiver with decent talent. Serious lack of talent at that position.
McFadden is OK, but no depth. Lack of tale t there too.
The o-line is talented. I'll give you that.
Ony Romo has a molecule of talent at QB. But Romo is getting old and his body is starting to break down. Serious lack of talent there too.

Pretty simple really.

You think Romo isn't all that talented? Last years talent on offense got us to 12 wins. Despite the plays or coaching. The back ups aren't talented I'll give you that. But even Twill gets catches with Romo.

Romo is talented but he is getting old and his body is starting to fail him. Thus an upgrade is required ASAP.

I'm sure he could've managed to accomplish as much as Garrett has.


In before someone says I dont see the big picture.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

That I agree with.

 

[cds99]

I'm tired of hearing how great our offensive line is. Romo could make a sandwich in the pocket last year. He gets knocked out twice this year by pretty much with the same "best in the nfl" offensive line. Also, talent should have won at least 2 of those 7 games. Still no pass rush. Safeties still suck. Injuries and missed time by suspended players, it all played a role.

I agree with everything stated. I think this offensive line misses bill callahan. They have added talent and not had near the success or either they got cocky.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Pretty simple-when you run a vanilla offense based on your guys simply beating the guy in front of them you MUST have superior talent to win. This is why the system "worked" a year ago, barely any injuries on the offensive side of the football-superior oline, a healthy Dez, Romo, Murray and everything is fine.
The problem is that same system looks like hot trash when you have "b" talent trying to win those battles and an injured Dez and no Romo pretty much end all chance.
The system must change.
