When you take step back and look at this team the one thing that jumps out to me is lack of flexibility: financially, personnel & decision making at executive level. Now I know its popular to blame Jason Garrett for a lot of this mess. He deserves some of the blame but a its short-sighted angle. The reality is that Garrett can be replaced in matter of few hours. Jerry could fire him today and hold press conference tomorrow introducing next HC. The far bigger problem is two people who are firmly entrenched in this organization and both are basically unmovable for different reasons.
1) Jerry Jones - when you have an unmovable incompetent GM - your in trouble. Dallas is in constant state of adjusting their own errors. The draft and FA are opportunities to fill current & projected holes. For Jerry they are exercise in not being in touch with declining play or even worse not knowing what cowboys ethos is.
2) Tony Romo - financially his contract is unmovable. Another over-payment on player who appears to be declining before our eyes. Either that is he is simply disinterested at this point. He still occasionally will put up gaudy fantasy stats. How can we forget the memorable game against Denver. I see QB who doesn't want to be hit anymore. I can't blame him as most of us would call it quits after just few of those hits. But he no longer fits into what this team needs. They need new captain, a fearless one. The time to address this is this off-season not when Tony can't effectively juke out of pocket.
These are my observations and I expect Jerry to do nothing more than token gestures of firing Jason or Monte. He will get in front of microphone and announce he needs to do better job and that he needs to look himself in mirror. He will go on about how Romo gives cowboys best chance to win. He will tell you that nobody hurts more than him when Cowboys lose. He will continue to drink and come on mic as this is his personal playground. The fan is who suffers here. Not the players who paycheck are the same regardless of wins or losses. Not Jerry who has steadily increased his wealth. This falls on the fans who emotionally and financially are invested. The most scarce resource on the planet is your time. So if you spending time watching, messaging or chatting about cowboys you are giving them the most valuable commodity known to man. Maybe its time for fans to pull back.
Seven years this quarterback and this coach have been together.
If you look at Peyton Manning and see how long it took him to make Denver competitive with new coaches, then you have to ask yourself a question or two.
1. Why are Jason Garrett and Tony Romo not on the same page and thriving. Seven years is long enough for Romo to be dominating this league? He has had the talent to do so, but it seems to fall short.
2. If 1 is correct, and it is, then is it Romo or Garrett?
This should be a pair that thinks as one and sees the weakness of every defense and cuts it apart.
But they are not.
Is it Romo, who takes the team down and wins games late with his skill set?
Or is it Garrett who has consistently called plays that defenses can read and defend?
Garrett is not a great head coach, and if it were not for talent that this team does and has had, he would not be 8-8 and have kept this job.
Except for the fact that he is the illegitimate child of Jerry Jones and Carrot-top.
Sorry OP but you are wrong.
If you were to encapsulate this offensive team into one word, what would be the most obvious word of all.
UNDISCIPLINED
Seven years and this guy cannot stop the penalties.
Garrett is a huge problem.
Anyone on here who wants us to lose and finds encouragement in it should hand in your fan card
