Not wanting to start a bashing thread, but with Romo's December numbers, particularly his interceptions against the Ravens and Pittsburgh, I would have thought that Wade Wilson would have been on more of a hot seat than he is.

Why have I not heard his name?

Does he get the credit in Sept. Oct and Nov? No.

Then he doesn't deserve the blame for Dec.

Perhaps I should have elaborated. Garrett is getting the bad press for the offensive swoon by media and fans alike, so why not Wade Wilson?

Faulty logic. He is not the offensive coordinator. His job is to work with the quarterbacks and help them address problems and continue to mature. What I saw late in the season was a complete regression from Tony Romo. That is something that he should have his feet held to the fire for.

For whatever reason, he is not being held responsible. I think he is more deserving of scorn than Garrett. Tony Romo is our franchise. We go as he goes. For him to look worse now than he ever has is partially the responsibility of the quarterback coach. The behaviors he showed in the final few games were alarming and it would be that coach's responsibility to address them.

Off season just started for the Cowboys with a long way to go before next season

I've always though Wilson sucked as a QB coach. He should be coaching up Tony every minute on the sideline when he makes a bad play....do we ever see him? Or if he's in the pressbox do we see Tony on the phone? Nope!

He's an empty hat to me.

He was a good QB or at least a good passer, when he played but I am not impressed with him as a QB coach. He was QB coach when Quincy was here and it took him over six months to notice Q couldn't take a snap or throw a spiral. What the hell does he do with his time? Those are things a good QB coach should notice the first day of camp.

Who knows, he may have discovered Jerry's secret peephole into the shower room and is blackmailing him. :eek:

Don't forget, he also showed next to nothing with Rex Grossman in Chicago either as he kept repeating the same behaviors over and over again. Romo has a lot of talent and he needs to be getting the most out of it. From what I can see from his body of work as a quarterbacks coach, he's never had a true success story.

He's doing something.

I have never understood Jerry Jones' penchant for rehiring people he fired in the first place. This is at least the third or fourth coach he has done that with. Coincidentally, those areas were all areas we had problems with (OL, QB and the secondary).

I agree he should be on the Hot seat, but Jerry seems to really like him.

so sad to place blame on some impotent bad QB & coach and not the one who hired him.

Great point. He never did anything in Chicago to merit anything noteworthy.

Not to mention their QB play improved when he left. I'm as big a Garrett supporter as anyone on the board, but I'd be game for upgrading the QB coach position.

Funn isn't it... We always say Garrett looking over game photos with Tony Romo on the sidelines, not Wade Wilson... The blame for the regression of Rom lies on both Garrett and Wilson... Wilson doesn't choose the play-calls to shorten the routes for Romo to get him in a rhythm, and so on and so forth...

I guess the question then would be... what DOES he do? Besides steroids...

I agree that Wade Wilson, along with his BOSS, Jason Garrett, a former QB and QB Coach himself, should take blame for Romo's regression. In Fact, we see a pattern now with Wilson, and that is that all the QBs he has worked with, to change their mechanics, have all took a step backwards. Guys before Romo were so sub-par that a small step backwards spelled their doom. Romo has a better chance of survival simply because of his talent.

Maybe Romo has another life in him, but we do need a better QB coach coaching him, and a better teacher overseeing the teacher. That's because this year Romo became determined to mechanically become more of a pocket passer, playing away from his strengths of "creating" from outside the pocket, and aa a result he was poor in both areas. Even early in the season you could see it. Now I think Romo still has a chance, but the NFL has a way of shutting your window fast if you don't wedge it open. With his skills, Romo is too valuable to keep deferring his skills to the current sub-par coachng he's receiving.
