Some of the threads here are ridiculous.
-Replace Zeke with Pollard....Pollard fumbles on the most important drive of the season
-Give Cooper Rush the start over Prescott.....Rush and white are pretty much near awful in preseason
-Get rid of Cooper , he doesn't deserve to be paid and start Gallup........Gallup is open because of Cooper, and Cooper did cross 1K this year himself and from what it seems wasn't healthy the second half of the season
-Fire Marinelli and give Richard all playcalling duties.....got your wish and the defense regresses
I swear to god, some of you may criticize Jerry Jones about being a terrible manager, but from what i've seen, some of the ideas here are way worse.
First: Fan is short for....FANATIC. Every single fan base from every single type of game has FANATICS. And within that FANATIC base is a roller coast ride. This occurs as often as the sun rises and sets. Thinking with emotions is not a smart thing
Next, Romo was a QB with so many highs with his share of lows that threw fanatics onto this roller coaster. Danny White threw fanatics onto this wooden coaster in the 80s. Getting the Cowboys to 3 straight NFC title games and losing them. He never got the team into the Superbowl, but I still regard Danny White as a very good Dallas QB. I say the same with Romo and he never got the franchise even to a single NFC title game.
I dislike the fact that too much is given to QBs when a team wins and losses. You see all the time what a QB record is for whatever type scenario the media wants to throw out there. For example: Kirk Cousin is 0-10 vs teams with 12 wins. What is the record of the LG, safety, punter, etc.... QB gets these stats. Football is the ultimate team sport but the QB gets all the limelight.
Coaches make no plays, tackle no one, do nothing on the field but coach. I so much wanted Jason Garrett to be the Dallas coach for 30 years like Coach Landry. But when certain traits just keep showing itself, clock mgmt troubles, lack of halftime adjustments, defense continue lack of creating turnover(dead last AGAIN with INTs), poor tackling, etc... This is coaching. If an employee is not producing for any company, the employer will eventually lay the employee off. You see it often that companies fold for lack of producing revenue.
Like Romo, Garrett was given a looooooooooooong rope. Jerry loves each of these men and so much wanted success with them.
I applaud Jerry for his loyalty and for many fanatics, it ticks them off.
The Cowboys were once what the Patriots are, in the playoffs all the time and in Superbowls. It has been 2 decades PLUS that the Cowboys have even sniffed a NFC title game, yet alone a Superbowl. There is a generation of Dallas fans that has never seen the Cowboys as a good team. The frustrated fanatics, who have seen this franchise, like the Patriots, patience are growing thinner but as it grows, we are older and some realize that it is JUST A GAME. A sport to enjoy watching and break away from reality for a few hours. Those that live and die are the irrational ones.
