It's called a losing culture. This looks like it will be the 6th in 7 years we miss the playoffs.And this starts at the very top. With our weird structure, the GM will never be fired for all the terrible roster personnel decisions from bad contracts, free agent signings and terrible drafts year after year.
The head coach is not accountable at all from the owner for his mistakes that should have been corrected and ironed out after 2011, his first full year. Heck, he even got an extension for his mediocrity. Players here are awarded extensions and raises for mediocrity.
You get pats on the back after screw ups. These players don't fear messing up under Jason. They will just be coddled like this is a pee wee team. It sucks your drive to get better because they just become content with being average because it doesn't take much work to just waddle in mediocrity year after year.
There's a reason why this team's collective IQ is so low year after year. They get it from the coaching. And they get it from the front office.
After players leave here, they will touch on some of these things. Like Dwayne Harris did about how we run practice.
Fans see a few stars at the key positions and define this team as talented but it's nothing more than a good fantasy team when Romo is in there.
Real championship contenders in Cap era build great defenses in the trenches with an elite QB then add in talented enough key position players to flourish within the system.
Jerry is still stuck in the 90's with his Triplett theory which was without a Cap. He also forgot Jimmy used #1 picks on DL too and that his Tripletts were fine behind less than #1 picks on OL.
Jerry gets distracted in the draft by shiney objects and takes too many risk in 2nd rd year after year while not always addressing the weaknesses. It's why the process has been so slow even with some great 1st rd picks .
Three key areas in this era . Need a great QB, protect him and pressure theirs. We have failed in 2 of those areas most of this era. Now that we solved one of those areas on OL we cant keep our QB healthy so we're still lacking in 2 of these key areas.
