...I'd have taken the Lions over the Rams. Not up to him I realize.

Both are weak divisions. That's a plus. Both have some high draft picks to work with. But Detroit has ours as well as theirs.


I'd take Michael Crabtree with the 2nd pick over the OT from Bama. I'd got OL at the top of the 2nd. Maybe Loadholt from OU.

He can succeed there in that weak division, but I think Detroit was the better job.

I just found out Garrett was taking the Rams job 5 minutes ago.

Needless to say, I am very disappointed. Now we have to look for a new OC and install a whole new offense.

Just what we needed. :bang2:

The Lions are going to take a few years to rebuild. Rams have a few more pieces in place.

I'd go Smith with #2, though. I like Crabtree, but we've seen the impact of high OT picks and it's always a good spot to start a team.

Yes, it IS what this team needed.

Garrett's "system" is a joke. The Cowboys players think it, the opposing players think it, and the fans who know the game think it as well.

Maybe this team can get an offensive coordinator who can take advantage of the most talented offense in football.

We'll see how good the Rams are on offense, then make that claim.

And we'll see how potent we are next year if our main players stay healthy.

I think alot of you are going to look foolish over your disdain for Garrett.

No, they don't. To a man on Offense they will wish him well.

Gotta start up front. Smith is probably the best player in the draft. You saw what happened to Bama's OL when he was out of the bowl game.

He's just a physical beast at the LT postion. His style reminds me of a young Erik Williams except he plays that way at the glamour LT position.

Mayock said if the Heisman Trophy is about the best player in college football then Andre Smith should have been in NY. That's pretty high praise.

Tony Romo and the receivers might "wish him well," but it's pretty obvious they're less than enthused about him and his "system."

I wish we were doing what Tampa did and going young and Garrett is it.

We're going to regret this move. Not a doubt in my mind.

Agreed. Alot of people want Garrett gone, but who is going to replace him?

Whoever we get, it is not going to be an upgrade, that is for sure.

Not to mention we're going to have to install a whole new offense, which comes with new philosophy, new terminology, and an overall new feel.

Not a fan of what happened.

There are some guys who have multiple super bowl rings and are the epitome of "winners" who dont agree with your assesment.

and with their lousy work ethic, lousy attitudes, and track record for flops in December and January, I'm becoming less enthused about them

I think the thing we'll regret the most is keeping Wade.

I genuinely hope to be proven wrong. I hope Wade makes me look like an idiot and has a season so great that it starts making people talk Hall of Fame/Ring of Honor.

But this has all the makings of a wasted season. A wasted season that we allowed our future head coach walk, passed on a number of quality coaches and allowed this squad to sink its feet that much further into the dirt.

We're just making the rebuilding job that much tougher for the next coach.

Not to mention Jerry wants continuity, only to demand his head coach "change" (how often do we see that? downright odd), fires two of the team's top three assistants, sees the other top assistant walk and will likely see a number of lower assistants go with him.

Another 1st rd WR I don't think so. Plus when will people learn not to have to many chiefs and not enough indians.

I still say Garrett's problems were Wade related. You can't have a soft camp, a soft pre season regiment and a soft practice schedule and totally blow off walk throughs the day before a game and expect an offense to be totally comfortable with the game plan, have confidence in the OC and expect the OC to have confidence that the players will execute properly. I think that led to a lot of the vanilla play calling.

I think Garret got the short end of the stick.

For the Rams, not the Lions. The Lions will take Stafford the QB out of Georgia.

If I were Jason Garrett I would never take the Lions job.

The Rams are a team that has had tremendus success in the recent past, the Lions have been garbage and is almost as bad as the Oakland Raiders.
