I say this, first I don't like some things Jason Garrett has done, saying that, I have always wanted Jason as head coach. However, this is what I believe, this will be Jason's 4th year, and even Jason admitted at times, he had to learn some things, and you will benefit from them like Jerry said. Even Jimmy Johnson has to learn some things his first 2 years. If some of you remember, even Tom Landry who I loved, had to learn things, heck even Landry cried in front of the team once. If the Cowboys and Jason do break through in 2014, then maybe this all is worth it. You never know, on top of that, in Jerry Jones interview today, Jerry was asked about Jason's last yr on his contract in 2014. Jerry didn't budge on that, which generally by the 4th year, either a head coach makes it or he doesn't with his system, way he wants to run things. We all know Jerry isn't going to budge on his beliefs, so might as well ride it out, see what happens.
Finally, to me, only way to fix this issue and the Cowboys is this. Create cap room, about 15 million if possible, go get 2 to 3 really good players, at least 2 of them that have played for a super bowl team and were dominant. Why am I saying this: look at the Cowboys history:
In 1969, the Cowboys signed Mike Dikta, for about 5 years from 1966 to 69 the Cowboys couldn't win the big one. Then, in 1970, the Cowboys signed Herb Adderly, as soon as Herb got here, he told the Cowboys players im going to show you why you haven't won the big one, after showing the players his superbowl ring.
In 1992, the Cowboys traded for Charles Haley and Thomas Everett, both dymantic players, and Haley had been on a super bowl team, even the great Troy Aikman said, we didn't really know how to win the big one, till Charles got here, what it really took, the swagger, the hard extra work, etc.,..
In 95, Jerry, yes Jerry Jones signed Deion Sanders, we went back to the superbowl. In 2003, after medicore years under campo, etc... Parcells came in, bill parcells immediately brought in players like Jason Ferguson, Keyshawn Johnson, Marco Riveria, and Terry Glenn, boom, Cowboys were in playoffs again. I still believe if Terry Glenn didn't get hurt in 07, the cowboys would have won that championship game against giants and at least gone to the superbowl.
If you listen to Jason Garrett, he said in his last press conference for 2013, we need to keep taking the next step, moving forward. To move forward in my estimation for the Cowboys they need to get some players in here, that were leaders on superbowl teams, show the players on cowboys roster what it takes. Go back and listen to what demarcus ware said after the eagles game, he said something like don't know what its going to take to finish, we have been knocking on the door to get into the playoffs for past 3 years. If supposedly the leader of your defense says that, then who is really leading the defense on the field and knows for sure, the past is over with, those losing days are over with?
