I've disliked him over one issue from the very beginning really.. that is not getting a FA QB that gives you a better chance to win.. even if you're in rebuilding mode at the same time.
You never know anymore if a particular year might shake down a certain way to give even teams that were thought to have no shot, actually contend a lil bit.
Ourselves in '03 for that matter as it turned out. Had we signed Delhomme and Stephen Davis instead of the Panthers would logic dictate we would've stood to go farther than with QC and T-Ham? And we still likely would've/could've had Romo waiting in the wings and drafted RB's anyway cause everyone knew Davis was near the end.
Many teams in the last 10 years were able to contend with a solid journeyman QB within the 1st or 2nd year of going with him. Even if the window for success was only that one year. Collins, Dilfer, Gannon, Johnson, Chandler, Delhomme et al.
Now one could say.. but we did try that ourselves with DB (or to a lesser degree Vinnie T), and I suppose that might be correct although it was one of the worst possible choices to go with probably because one of the bigger weaknesses we had was the o-line. Not only in starters but in depth. Not very conducive to a statue QB.
