Some fans have recently posted that the team has quit on lame duck head coach McCarthy. This is an inaccurate assessment as no one reports to Big Mac, they all report to Jerry. So ans this miserable season progresses and we see players giving a half baked effort, realize they are quitting on Jerry.

They are quitting on MM, Jerry is their gravy train. MM has fixed nothing in 4 1/2 seasons same bone head decisions, same penalty mistakes, no discipline, offense getting worse since he took over, putrid performance against Playoff contenders. Players aren’t stupid they know what MM is, a very poor leader who’s infected the team with his laidback approach and entitled attitude, Jerry’s ultimately responsible for the state of the franchise and most know MM is just mailing it in at this point.

You can’t make chicken salad out of chicken…you know what.

The players played just fine for McCarthy the past 3 years. They are simply outmanned this season with the roster the front office put together. The whole world knew the Cowboys needed to get better at stopping the run and running the ball. The DLine, Oline, and RB’s all got worse in the off-season. Add in injuries to an already extremely shallow roster and it’s been a worst case scenario season.

I’m not saying McCarthy is a great coach or that he would have ever taken the team over the top, but I really don’t believe any coach could have saved this season.

They played well against the dregs the last 3 seasons in one of the worst divisions in football and fell apart against good teams, smoke and mirror's. Yes it’s a worse roster but Jerry told everyone it would be and he wasn’t worried because he was signing a elite top 3 QB who can do more with less and MM was quiet as a church mouse. OL ,RB, WRs defensive old Mcfat endorsed them all. All in, MM told everyone he knew how to win SBs, MM is this year’s scapegoat a honor he richly deserves after throwing so many under the bus

I don’t think the team is quitting at all, in fact, I think they’re playing better the last two games . But if they were quitting, it would be on the coach.

Jerry signs their paycheck not MM. They have quit on the coaching staff. They'll continue to suck up to Jerry, as long as those checks keep coming in

I hope you are right. Jerry deserves it, in a bad way!

If I were the players I would feel like ownership quit on them over the off-season.

They expected to contend, but they clearly needed some help and got nearly nothing.

I feel that way as a fan. If these players aren’t upset over that since they are just there for the check, well…wouldn’t shock me I guess.

No there's no proof of that yet literally the last three games they may be losses but they were all like what one score losses... I guess some pretty good teams a lot of them on the road.. I didn't see any quit where does don't have any talent we have too many injuries we have too many young guys not living up to their hype yet leaning on all these rookies and they have Martin declining in front of our eyes...

I mean yeah, we have organically been playing bad but we are not quitting on the dude even though i wish they would and get him fired.. I wish the FO fired him already..

100% the missed assignments and poor execution are a coaching problem. McCarthy isn't a details coach and had relied on the talent here to make him look better. When playing average to below average teams it looked great, but when playing equal or better teams that's where McCarthy had gotten out schemed and just out coached. The talent that won 12 games three straight seasons was mostly in place, but McCarthy hasn't put them in position to be successful. There is a ton of tape out there and breakdowns explaining why it's not working this season.

The players aren’t quitting on the guy that signs their checks. Jerry not only pays them but coddles them.

Players quit as a team once it’s clear they aren’t very good. By “quit,” I mean that wins and losses no longer matter….but any player who is fine putting out bad individual film and hurting themselves is a fool.

Jerry’s list of flaws isnt short, but coddling the players, wanting to be liked by them, as well as giving direct access is way up there.
