The salad years. What happened?

[Davidlee1973]

2010 thru 2014 the cowboys were stacked. 7 hof level players. 5 on offense. We could not even get to a title game. Truth is that team should have won at least two super bowls. When you look at the SB era every team with at least four hof level players have won super bowls. So what happen to the salad years. They just wilted away.

Kind of like walking into a Western Saloon and asking why there aren't more Banks in the area.

The biggest thing was we had a coach in training.

Never heard them referred to as "The Salad Years" one time.

Romo never delivered that big time game. We needed a guy to compensate for our deficiencies and we didn’t have it.

Poor GMing , poor coaching.
Takes more than the talent on the field to win the big game

Yep and the GM who hired him.

 

[DeaconMoss]

Patrick Crayton. Still hate this guy.

I wholeheartedly think to this day Romo wins ring(s) with SP as coach

Any quality HC, really.
We wasted 9 years with Garrett.
What a cluster that was.
Thanks Jerry, thanks a lot.
Smh....

Romo was good enough IF YOU SURROUNDED HIM with a very good team. Same thing it's been with Dak.

Dak has had better talent the whole time. Terrance Williams was at best a no 4 receiver, horrible take, but we live in the now. Yes he had Witten for 5 yards a pop.

Not true. Franchise record 13 Pro Bowlers, including T.O. and young buck Jason Witten in 2007. Almost same team in 2008 and 2009. 2011, 2012 and 2013 should have been playoff bound years if only the last game each season had been won. 2014 had a pretty good team. Rushing leader DeMarco Murray, in prime Jason Witten, in prime Dez Bryant, in prime Terrance Williams, top 5 young and fully loaded stud Oline, plus a pretty good Defense led by D-Ware, young Demarcus Lawrence, Anthony Spencer, Tyrone Crawford and linebacker studs in Sean Lee, Rolando McClain, Anthony Hitchens, Justin Durant, Bruce Carter, DBs Brandon Carr, Barry Church, Orlando Scandrick, Morris Claiborne, Jeff Heath, JJ Wilcox, Kicker Dan Bailer, Punter Chris Jones, etc.

That 2014 team was loaded, so enough with the bogus rants about how Dak has had more and better talent around him.

Lol, just telling the truth and not making it up for anyone's convenience and here say void. Tell it like it was...at least when correctly sorted.

I enjoy your loyalties, my friend!

 

[plymkr]

Patrick Crayton. Still hate this guy.

Me too. One of the biggest chokes in Dallas history. A lot of people blame Romo but Crayton dropped a TD pass and the TE dropped a TD pass. Romo can only get it there, the real chokers are Crayton and Fasano. The Crayton drop was unbelievable, it was right in his hands and he was alone. Fasano had people on him and it was a hard catch but a pro NFL player should have caught it.

With talented players AND a top ten coach.

Roger had Landry. Troy had Jimmy.

Cowboys talent gets overhyped every year, Carr, and Church are Jags, Heath is a special teamer, horrible safety. Your naming special teamers to state your case get out of here.

Some running back had a problem fumbling the ball that year. Killed us in the Green Bay game. I hope I have the right year.

What? Wait.... Is this thread some contest to see who can be the MOST WRONG?
