Why Barber is the starter and not the closer

[Anjinsan]

Myself and many others have wondered why Felix isn't the starter and why Barber is no longer the closer. This preseason and first game of the year have shown that the coaches have no confidence in the running game. The Cowboys running game is predicated off the passing game and not the other way around. Garret's offense is to work around this weakness. I hope they can pull it off, but is definitely not an a-typical offense. IMHO, you need your passing game predicated on your running game.

there are precisely 167298473862 threads on this exact subject. None of them come to any conclusion except that Garrett is the worst OC in the world.

Actually, I think he's doing a pretty good job considering what he has to work with.

I don't think he is as bad as most would have you believe either. Thats just the mob conclusion.

Well lets take a look at what Garrett has to work with.....

Probowl QB, arguably top 5 in the league...................Romo
Former probowl RB.................................................Barber
First round pick RB.................................................Felix
Probowl Center......................................................Guorde
Probowl Guard.......................................................Davis
Hall of Fame TE......................................................Witten
Probowl WR............................................................Austin
Best WR in the draft.................................................Dez
Former probowl WR.................................................Roy


And yet we are the 31st ranked scoring offense in the entire league????



Yea, I think the people that say Garrett does not know what the hell he is doing might be on to something.

Dude, seriously? Lets base everything off last week. Derek Anderson is more of a winner than Manning. Arian Foster is better than Chris Johnson.

It's one week Beast, seriously.

The Bears D is not terrible. Perhaps the team will be 31st by Monday also, but with a win.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Dude, seriously?

Yep, we are the 31st ranked scoring offense just above the 49ers who are dead last in the league.

I think I will go vomit now after typing this.

"typing this"...For the 20th time.

You need to go learn some football. Find out about the 30 yard slant.

It was week 1 for eveybody else in the league as well. When your offense is this stacked, we should not be in the same breath as the 49ers.

I guess you missed the thread I made about Wade and Garretts report card and how I will update after each week.

Stay tuned, we will see where the numbers go.

Dont you need permission to use your parent's computer???

Dont worry, once you get a little older you will understand what stats mean.

The 49ers are favored to win their division by many people out there.

You don't want to be in the same breath ? Re-think that one.

I'm still waiting to find out why Barber is the starter and not the closer.

The Cowboys running game is predicated on the passing game and not the other way around.

"found, base —usually used with on <the theory is predicated on recent findings>" - m-w.com

Ex. This post is predicated on the fact that anyone here or abroad really knows what is going on with Jason Garrett.

My parents computer ? Now that's funny, but if you have jokes, so do I.

I am old enough to be your father and would have been, but the line was long.

If you think the 49ers offense should be ranked anywhere near the Cowboys offense, well.................Wow

Or is he?

Winner.

 

[Zman5]

Who cares who starts the game. I just want Felix to be involved in more plays then the other two backs.
