Whatever, Jerry is not the one blowing games at the end, Jerry is not the one implementing a horrible offensive system. Jerry's biggest flaw as a GM is hiring head coaches, by far, I mean, Gailey, Campo, Wade and now Garrett, give me a break.

Jerry is the one who has ignored the trenches and safety positions for the last decade.

What are you trying to say here? You do realize that Norv's offense and Zampese's offense were one in the same, right? Turner was Zampese's QB coach with the Rams from 1987-1991. So when Garrett had a year under Norv, he practically had a year under Zampese as well. It's highly conceivable that Garrett knew the ins and outs of the offense before Zampese was even hired.

They were Air Coryell.. My point is Ernie Zampese is not Norv Turner. Plus, Zampese was essentially done by then and the differences in play calling between Norv and the following OC became evident.

Second, Jason Garrett was here one year as a third string QB, essentially brought over by his father from the Arena league. To claim he knew the ins and outs of Norv's offense with essentially one year of experience in the NFL, riding the pine, is utterly absurd. Why would Barry go to Jason out of all people and not Ernie himself, or many of the other Offensive coaches that were around in the Norv years.

Not necessarily. But you saying halfing a Daddy as an NFL coach didn't help him? Like Wade's son halfing a daddy coaching the Cowboys didn't help junior?
Ha! I repeat: Ha!
(dang that hurt. my sinus hurt when I say Ha! ouch!)

The difference is Wade learned under one of the greatest coaches in the NFL ever, and continued his journey to learn among the great coaches like Dan Reeves and Buddy Ryan, which is why he is considered one of the great defensive minds of this era on his own merit.

Your boy Garrett on the other hand followed daddy around his whole career. From Columbia, to Dallas and back to Dallas. His daddy also took his brothers with him, which is why Judd and Jim were working there until Jerry essentially fired Jason's own brother as passing game coordinator.

Wade got his start from his father but earned his stripes..

that may have worked in the 90s when we had a clearly superior team with no cap ( i know the cap at the tail end of this)
in this day and age of parity, you better be creative on offense or you will get your butt whupped (like we are)

my point was, you are making a great case for a new offense (ie get rid of garrett)

The problem I have with the offense is that we rarely exploit weaknesses in the opposition's defense. That is partly a creativity issue, and partly a game planning issue. How many weeks did the average fan want Dez in the slot before the team finally did it?

If Garrett chooses not to be creative, at least give your prime wide receiver a chance to make plays. Meaning that you have no shot at flawless execution if you don't take chances and make an attempt to execute the offense.

Opposing defenses have claimed for years that this offense is vanilla. This team only wins when they execute it effectively.

Garrett's biggest flaw was that he was given a job that he was not prepared or qualified for. I guarantee there are a few HC's of some of the big time Texas High School programs that would have done a better job so far than JG.

I also don't get why people think JG is so smart, he's made so many mistakes that even casual fans could point out, his great offensive mind hasn't shown much creativity, innovation or consistency. A large part of the offensive stats have come from, breaking away from his game plans and having Romo play streetball. The smartest thing about JG is that he conned Jerry into thinking he's some kind of mastermind and will be the next great NFL HC and making millions while doing an average job at best. Now that's brilliant!

Wow!!!! You hit the nail on the head!!!!

Yeah, Wade earned his stripes. Hope his stripes do not get taken away with the latest dismantling of his defensive team, this time by the Pats on Sunday.
Face it, had Wade not had his faddah's name he'd be just another fat guy fixing appliances at the SaveMart near Carrollton.
