We are going to find out what Garrett is made of

[Zekeats]

With the injury to Romo, it's safe to say we are going to see what Garrett is made of and what he is capable of this season.

He's just a good young rookie QB this time around, the best offensive line in the NFL, and a great set of offensive weapons.

If he goes less than 8-8 this season, no matter the circumstance, I think this might be it.

Frankly, if this team is going to start fresh with Dak in 2017, I'd like to see it down with a new coach.

Disclaimer: I know this a pre-mature thread.

Was just thinking this same thing. Lets see if he can COACH this team to wins. Lord knows he COACHED us to losses in the past.

If you're looking for some kind of ultimatum, this isn't the season for it. It should've come years ago when the Cowboys had a HOF-caliber QB in the prime of his career. They didn't. Instead, they wasted that career on a coach with too steep of a learning curve. Firing Garrett doesn't undo the damage. It's already done.

Garrett is useless.

 

[MileyDancer]

Dunno, how many years does Jerry have left above ground?

Hopefully it can be measured in hours.

 

[Plankton]

With 4 years, and 24 million coming to him, Garrett isn't going anywhere.

wait a minute on the prediction thread well before this new info came out there were several people predicting 8/8 thinking Romo was the QB
now if Garrett doesn't go 8/8 he should lose his job?

Did you take those 8-8 guys seriously though? They were outliers. This offense is too talented, to dynamic to only go .500, even without Romo. But that means that Garrett has to take off training wheels and do his job without excuses.

No more just looking and talking presidential, has to now be the Commander in Chief and kick some ace. Ground all oponents into dust, set their homes on fire and piss on their corpses.

Iam not ready to agree with this

Fair enough. Wave when you are.

I absolutely agree with you. Could have sworn you thought differently in the past about this franchise and the coach

Not taking a shot by any means. I applaud anyone that has the common sense to change their mind

Dak is getting a crash course in dink dunk and protect the football as we speak. We Will run the ball, be conservative and keep it close until the 4th quarter.

The problem is close games are won by the team with the best QB or the elite defense. Unless Dak is a true rookie phenom we will have neither.

I've seen this movie before.

So true. I believe last years debacle was due partly to the coaching staffs vanilla game plans.

This injury is going to guarantee JG gets another pass this year.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Basically, Garrett has been granted another year of amnesty, although Dak better do more than the turds from a year ago did.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Actually I think it will fall upon Linehan to get Dak ready and call the right plays to set up Dak for success. It won't be easy.

Opie isn't a horrible coach with Romo. When he doesn't trust the QB to change a bad play he goes stupid conservative.

Tony's passing prowess isn't why we went 1-11 last season without him. His IQ at the LOS is the much bigger loss.

One positive about Dak is he's pretty smart. Now I don't know if that will translate into "football smart" but it helps that he's smart off the field. Dak will succeed if he can read a defense that's not vanilla. A real defense that's gameplanned for him.

What will make or break Jason as a coach in my mind is can Jason game plan Dak to attack the defenses using Dak's strengths as a player. The only thing negative said about Dak this preseason is he hasn't played against a defense that has game planned for him. Well on the flip side the offense hasn't game planned either in the preseason, so we don't know what Dak can do with a game plan.

So Dak has shown he has skills and talent, if JG is a worthy head coach he will be able to take Dak's strengths and make a game plan that puts him in the best chance to succeed. If he can't and he relies on Dak to be a Romo clone then he is not worthy of being a head coach and should go.

I'm more worried about JG's "coaching" than Dak's ability because JG did a terrible job last year with the backup QB's and playing situational football. Dak has more talent than Weeden and Cassel so JG should get more out of him. If JG is a real coach. Big IF

I agree and that is Jerry's biggest failure as a owner and GM, wasting the HOF career of Romo

I also agree with this statement

 

[Beast_from_East]

This was said last year...



1-11

Anybody waiting around for Garrett to pull a rabbit out of the hat is going to have a rude awakening..............LOL

 

[Beast_from_East]

Dak's performance is going to depend a lot on Garret putting him the best possible position to be a success.

When has Garrett put anybody in a postion to succeed over these past 6 years?

Come to think of it, how many times over these last 6 years have you guys come away from a game thinking "wow, we won that simply by out coaching the other team with fantastic schemes".

LOL........I am laughing even typing this.

Unfortunately this is the truth of the matter.
