I didn't say a word about Dak. This team is 'BUILT' very differently. good teams make quality moves yearly and Jerry wasn't doing that. Someone is certainly doing it now. The 2009 special teams draft and the Williams trade alone were back breakers at the height of the QBs career. Horrible management. Not drafting Olinemen because the QB can run.. another doozie and famous Jerry quote. Before they drafted Tyron with Romo at 32 years old it was a joke. The domino effect of poor decisions. Team game and all and it takes 53 plus coaching to win. Lets not forget the quality decision to bring in those 2 morons in 2007.
On the flip side Eli isn't winning a dam thing without that D or some acrobatic catches or a running game consistently near the top in scoring. all with 1 pro bowler?? Imagine? Or Coughlin who is light years ahead of this garbage. There was 1 December where the Cowboy RBs had ZERO TDs. LOL 6 on the year from the group. Worst in team history. worst in the division for a good stretch. Giants and NE were dwarfing this teams TD totals on the ground. Tell me again how it's the QBs fault. The only top 10 aspect of the team? Nevermind, apparently I'm talking to a wall. Someone who doesn't see the difference between Marion Barber and Emmitt Smith besides a pro bowl berth. lol Putting way too much stock in a crap game and and individual accomplishment. Right up there with executive of the year when it comes to winning games.
Funny thing is you don't comment on the drafts or 'the trade' at the time or the coaching hires. Irrelevant to the success of the team? And people are supposed to take you seriously? Go watch some tape of the 70s and 90s teams and tell me again how Romo's team was just as good. And were still seeing the team fold. lol Still Romo's fault?
(in bold ^^^)
You truly should know what you're talking about before commenting. Olinemen were being drafted frequently by the Cowboys between 2001-2016 (Romo affected years). The bad thing about it is they all almost didnt pan out, but the Cowboys did try to address the Oline all the time throughout those Romo years in order to help him.
In 2001, the Cowboys drafted OG Matt Lehr (5th round) and OT Char-ron Dorsey (7th round).
In 2002, the Cowboys drafted OC/OG Andre Gurode (2nd round) and another OC Tyson Walter (6th round).
In 2003, the Cowboys drafted OC Al Johnson (2nd round) and OG Justin Bates (7th round).
In 2004, the Cowboys drafted OT Jacob Rogers (2nd round) and OG Stephen Peterman (3rd round).
In 2005, the Cowboys drafted OT Rob Petitti (6th round).
In 2006, the Cowboys drafted OT Pat McQuistan (7th round) and OC E.J. Whitley (7th round).
In 2007, the Cowboys drafted OT James Marten (3rd round) and OT Doug Free (4th round).
In 2009, the draft you called the special teams draft, the Cowboys drafted OT Robert Brewster (3rd round).
In 2010, the Cowboys drafted OT Sam Young (6th round).
In 2011, the Cowboys drafted OT Tyron Smith (1st round), OT David Arkin (4th round) and OG Bill Nagy (7th round).
In 2013, the Cowboys drafted OC Travis Frederick (1st round).
In 2014, the Cowboys drafted OG/OT Zack Martin (1st round).
In 2015, the Cowboys drafted OT Chaz Green (3rd round) and OT Laurence Gibson (7th round).
That is 22 Olinemen the Cowboys drafted between 2001 - 2015, Olinemen that could and should have helped Romo during his starting years of 2006 - 2016.
It is totally false to say Jerry and Company didn't try to help Romo during those years by failing to draft Olinemen since Romo could run. Just another false claim. The Cowboys certainly tried. Problem is they failed on drafting Olinemen that were good a majority of the time.
