Forget the coaching spot.
You guys need a QB.

We need a Off coord who doesn't send the receivers out on 25yrd routes every play. We need a coord who will establish a run game. We need a coord that is not so predictable that the other teams know every play we are going to run. We need an offensive line that gives the QB more than 1 sec to throw the ball. If we get that, I think you see a different Tony Romo.

Hmmmm - you know, Romo now has 2 complete seasons under his belt. Comparing his first two seasons to Hall of Fame (2006) Troy Aikman's first two seasons: Aikman won exactly 8 games - Romo has 20+ wins not counting his half season of 2006. He also has 2 pro bowl selections.
As for records: 16 games with 300+ yards over Aikmans 13. 36 passing touchdowns over Danny Whites 29. First Dallas quarterback to throw over 4,000 years in a season. And tied with Aikman for 5 touchdown passes in one game. And this after 2 1/2 years on the job.

Personally I think Garret left a lot to be desired with his play calling this year. Added to the mix a front line that can't pass block nor open a lane for the running backs. And why even trade for Roy Williams if your not going to use him - waste of talent there.

Plenty of blame to go around for a team with this much talent.

As a fan since 1962 through the good and bad - well there is always next year - hopefully.

My assessment is purely subjective. I just don't see the skills that Aikman had.

I agree. Romo is no Aikman. I just dont think he's as bad as people think.

Exactly. Except, I don't think he is as good as people think.

I'm not saying Romo is the greatest thing since sliced bread now - but which Aikman are you comparing him too? The two years under his belt Aikman or the ten year veteran Aikman? Makes a difference. At the two year mark it's Romo hands down. Will it change at the 3, 4 or 5 year mark? Maybe. Maybe not. Just have to see.
