Add youth and immaturity to the list of issues that plagued the Cowboys this year.

Certainly, the loss of quarterback Tony Romo and receiver Dez Bryant were a big part of the struggles for the 4-11 Cowboys but veteran defensive end Jeremy Mincey also blames poor attitudes and a youthful mentality for the team’s drop from first in the NFC East last year to worst in 2015.

While owner Jerry Jones and others think the Cowboys will be right back among the league’s elite with the return of a healthy Romo and Bryant next year, Mincey said the Cowboys will be in the same situation next year if things don’t change and the players don’t grow up.

“Faith without works is dead,” Mincey said. “The key to thing is you have to have faith in the process. You have to have in yourself as a player. We have ways to go. Until we change our mentality and change our outlook on the game, we will be in the same situation and the same place. Until we change that, it’s going to be tough to move a notch higher.”

This is very informative about what is going on in the locker room and behind the scenes. This makes sense to me that it's something deeper than losing a couple of stars. The coaches have to find a way to turn this around if he is right.

Old head please. I didn't see him making any plays this year. Spare me all the rhetoric. Stop the run and stop running your mouth.

Guy on his way out critical of something about the team...shocking.

True. How many third and 12-plus I've got to sit through before my head explodes. I don't won't to hear anybody on this team pointing fingers.

Older experienced players have perspective that younger guys don't. Just because he is older and may not be here next year doesn't mean that he isn't right that our young players need to grow up. We are one of the youngest teams in the league. You can't lay the entire failure this year on the fact that Romo was hurt. We have deeper problems than that.

Yeah....sacking the QB when the game is on the line is one of them. I think that's Mincey's street.

Sorry, that's coaching.

I'm not one to play devil's advocate..

but I am not able to really get my arms around what happened here this season.

I need to see what happens now and what we hear from some of the players who end up leaving.

There is something behind the scenes we haven't heard about yet.

Just a feeling I have.

Waiting for the dust to settle..

I mean is he trying to say the "Kids" don't respect him or what? Or The Kracken?
