No opinions or speculation to be found here - simply empirical, factual data:

Offensive Ranking (PPG):

2010 - #7
2011 - #7
2012 - #15
2013 - #5
2014 - #5
2015 - #29

Defensive Ranking (PPG):

2010 - #31
2011 - #16
2012 - #24
2013 - #26
2014 - #15
2015 - #17

43-38 overall record. 1 season over .500. 1 division title. 1 playoff appearance. 1 playoff win. Offensive weapons in the top five rankings of their respective positions. A defense that barely can squeeze into the top half of the league in a good year.

We work and live in a results-driven world. These results are not acceptable.

what bothers me the most is how talent depleted we really are. we have done good in the first round. but outside of the first round we have sucked. 2nd round has been a disaster. we only have murray to show in the 3rd round over the past 7 years. whose responsibility is the draft?

If the endgame is mediocrity, then I guess we're doing just fine. I would like to strive to be more than average.

2015 is an injury riddled year to two of those top 5 weapons and I would say the most important two.

Well it was still the first half and all Carolina points came from pick 6. The D was playing good and I was thinking we could pick the heat up in the 2nd half. The team just needed points.

Garrett inherited that offense - he didn't build it. Big difference. It was Payton & Sparano who were the architect of that offense not Garrett.

Garrett just went along for the ride soaking the undeserved compliments while waiting for Uncle Jerry to give him the keys to the head coaching gig.

The system degraded overtime because Garrett slowly started to implement his own style into the mix, taking away the effectiveness of the talent the players had and making it a scheme-based offense like you see today.

I'm assuming that Jerry bought into the Red Headed Genius misconception that Garrett was really that - a "genius." Thus he went out and got got Roy Williams. A receiver they thought Garrett can work with and build a great offense around. That turned out to be a disaster because Garrett doesn't know how to use the talent given to him. Instead he just runs the same vanilla plays of the 90s and expects players to "execute."

Same issues are happening to Bryant right now. Garrett has no idea on how to draw up a game plan utilizing his talent. You don't see Bryant going in motion or in the slot or running slants or rub routes. Thats not part of Garrett's offense. He uses Bryant as a glorified decoy and run him deep while Witten and Beasley comes underneath on shorter routes.

There has been very little variations on this offense back then and not much has really changed till now. Thus we all wonder how we have all this talent and yet we are not able to produce anything. Its not the players. Its what you call the Garrett playbook and its holding this team back from realizing their potential.

In my opinion, this is the biggest obstacle why our offense has sputtered throughout the years. It only started becoming efficient when Romo is allowed to change the plays his way and allowed to make changes at the LOS pre-snap. But Tony can only do so much.

The biggest lost to this team was Callahan. Not because he was a great playcaller or the best oline coach in the NFL has ever seen. It was because Jerry gave him some of the playcalling duties and he inserted some of the much needed changes to this offense. Unfortunately, he was driven out by the FO. Him and Garrett did not see eye to eye. Thus we are now back to the same ole' vanilla offense - a curse to this team and to this organization.

If guys like Dooley and John Garrett end up with jobs, Jason will end up with a job somewhere. Even Jerry doesn't get rid of the guys he personally likes but craps the bed. He just gives them senior consulting roles, like our last year WR coach. Besides Wade Wilson, what have our WRs coaches done? We've even swapped them and they couldn't help out Garrett's crappy play-book.
