I fully agree, no whiners.
Reminds me of a story Troy told one time about how he thought he would starve after losing a game because he was afraid to go out of his house and get a loaf of bread. Some fans get vicious I guess. Any one want to take Tony a loaf of bread.
heh, don't get me wrong - we'll all vent. we need to especially vent with other fans. but things have seemed to go...well, i guess too far over to cater to the whiner and not enough to find better ways to get your point across.
romo had a terrible day. he's had 2 terrible days so far and lost 1 of those games. he's still .500 when he sucks. not many other qb's can lay claim to that.
or jessica simpson.
maybe he and jessica did party a bit much the night before. i can't think of too many men who'd tell jessica "honey, not tonight, i have a game tomorrow". i'd be too busy going for oxygen and hoping i have enough power in my cell phone to let all my friends know what (or who) i was doing that night.
then again we don't have a running game. people go crazy at garrett thinking he's all to blame and maybe he could have done a better job, ya know? but then again, maybe that's why he's not a head coach just yet. even smart people need real world experience to help define how to "win" in any given sitaution.
then again, marion is a damn good change up back but i don't think he's a starter. i know jones isn't. so when you don't really have a running game, it's hard to dust if off the few times you need it. it's hard for the OL to suddenly refocus on running vs. throwing and basically it's a mindset that's hard to suddenly switch gears over.
we know this team isn't perfect but they're playing pretty damn close to it just the same. we know we have more holes to fill, so be patient when we run into them from time to time while we work on it.
in all, we know our qb answer is resolved. he's not perfect but i can't think of any team out there sans the pats who'd say "no" to having romo as their starter. maybe peyton also and maybe palmer. ok, the browns oddly enough. but i digress.
so where do we go to fill these holes?
i may get yelled at, but i think our line needs 1 more dominate player. i think romo's mobility helps out a lot but i think it's dangerous to count on that as much as we do. but we also took martin and free, so unless a major stud falls in the draft, i don't see it happening. we spent the $ for davis last year, so FA is out. i think we're ok but something to keep an eye on for now.
RB - ah. the pinnacle of what we really need on this team. does anyone else hate the phrase "jones for 2!" as much as i do now? does anyone else think jones loves the big mans backside vs. daylight? let's end the jones experiment and put RB on the list. whether it's to continue to split time w/barber or be the #1 'dude' - we'll get to that later.
WR - glenn coming back is great, but it's only a matter of time, and we know that. put WR on the grocery list.
TE - set and match.
FB - nah. we're good.
QB? johnson scares me. during the eagles game i actually thought a hurt romo is still better than johnson. put him on the maybe list.
D - let's see.
Safety. resign hamlin and let's continue to churn and get better here. no, roy isn't going anywhere so put the crackpipe down, turn off madden, and play in reality. get therapy if needed, but stop the roy bashing. it helps not. put it on the maybe list.
CB - oh yea. newman and henry are going good but after that we've got reeves and then little nate jones. time to upgrade and have a better secondary than we do now.
DE/DT and LB - BPA if one is there but i'd not reach.
so, MUST HAVE:
RB, WR, CB
Nice to have:
SS/FS, backup QB.
from there, let's look at FA to see what we can find. for RB, turner won't cost us much and he's been bantered about. definate upgrade over jones. beyond that we'll look at what RB's are in the draft when we pick on the 1st day if not 1st round.
WR - i'd love to talk the cards out of fitz for clevelands #1. not really sold on berrian or other WR's that may be out there. even roy williams is great, but he's injured a lot. javon walker? i wanted him over TO - was wrong there, huh? that said i don't want him now for the same reasons as roy williams.
CB - again, FA but keep it mid 20's in age please and no hype. performance only.
I think our "maybe" list can be filled via FA a lot as well.
in the end we need to identify needs and fill them via FA when it makes sense, then draft from there. yes we're going to let some good players find other teams but that's a good thing (hopefully) and not a bad.
we're better than we've been in an awful long time, but we're not home yet. 1 more good year like we've had this last year or two, i think we'll be set for 5+ years to come.
