ZenVulgarity posted:Dak is Alex Smith Dak is the late-career veteran version of Alex Smith, as a rookie. Except that Alex Smith never sniffed averaging 8.2 yards per attempt, because at least Dak will throw past the marker on 3rd & long most of the time. He's in a favorable situation for a rookie for sure - but so were all the Cowboys backups in 2015, and they were all incredibly awful at everything forever. He's not just being carried.

RG3 had everything to succeed except an ability to slide and any sense of self-preservation whatsoever. Nobody ate avoidable killshots like Bobby G Tres.

Nodoze posted:RG3 has very little ability as a pocket passer so I'm not sure where you get "has everything" I meant on paper, obviously he's a bust. Coming out of college he was a 6'2" fast strong far throwing guy who was supposed to be intelligent. Though he might have developed better if he didn't keep dying so who knows?

This Dallas roster could lose a shootout vs. a really good offensive team, and I don't trust Garrett's game day decision making still, but otherwise their OL will just turn everyone into blood pudding at this rate. They are just ridiculous at times.

Sickening posted:Jason Garrett won't "LET" it happen? Jerry is gonna Jerry if he wants to, but he seems a lot more hands off now. It feels like it's been forever since the last big  CRAZY JERRY JONES MOVE happened. In his old age he's more happy to just chug Johnnie Walker Blue Label and let everyone else do the work apparently.

Dak threw for more yards and touchdowns than Romo ever did in the postseason.

Washington botching the Cousins situation is so bizarre. Any halfway competent organization would have just signed him to a long term deal already. He's had 2 actually good seasons in a row, is under 30 and has been durable. You aren't going to get closer to a sure thing than that barring some kind of miracle.

It looks to me like Garrett is developing into something like Andy Reid, actually - a weak gameday coach who is a good team builder. Unfortunately his learning curve wasted the last good years of Romo's career. Tony Romo's 2011 season featured some of the best QB play I've ever seen that was also completely futile. Over 4000 yards, 31 TD 10 INT, 100+ passer rating... and 8-8.

TheChirurgeon posted:the 2011 team was really weird. A combination of not having quite enough talent and just being outclassed by the Eagles and Giants. FO has us at 16th on defense and 12th on offense that year, which feels right, particularly for an 8-8 team. Comparatively, the Giants were 7th off/19th def and the Eagles were 8th off/11th def. And even with that, the season hinged on a dropped pass by a wide-open Miles Austin in week 17. But I don't look back and think that Cowboys team would have made the Super Bowl or anything. Oooh yeah, that's an even better example. A fractionally less pretty stat line from Romo, but an utterly dire dumpster fire defense

Giants fans never hated pre-rings derpy pick machine Eli as much as Eagles fans hated McNabb or Cowboys fans hated Romo.

Febreeze posted:He was garbage year 1 and for the most part we werent happy with him until 2007 and after that he could do no wrong. I'm sure if he never won that Eli would have eventually been hated too, but Romo and McNabb were turned on by a large share of their teams' fanbases early on in a way that it seemed like didn't happen to Eli during his early, often fugly seasons. At least not to the same degree. e: TheChirurgeon posted:Sure. McNabb got old and struggled on a poo poo team, so he was never a great QB. That makes sense. You don't remember how TFF argued that McNabb would never, ever age? Hell, it reached the point where Philly fans had to stick up for the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the concept that time passes!

TheChirurgeon posted:Reid has personnel power in KC and it's worked out just fine, as I pointed out and you ignored. It's still bonkers that the downside of some bad clock management and sometimes questionable personnel decisions somehow outweighs the upside of being a strong competitive team for a decade but ymmv, I guess. Eh...the problem wasn't Alex Smith not throwing 50 yard bombs, the problem was that they huddled and burned the entire play clock every snap when trying to do a 2 minute drill. The Patriots won by 7 points, it wasn't some kind of crazy shootout. They might have lost with good clock management anyway, but the degree of self-sabotage on that drive was genuinely appalling. The problem with firing a guy like Andy Reid out of spite is that you're way more likely to get a Chip Kelly than than you are to get a Bill Belichick. sean10mm fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Mar 30, 2017 |

Quiet Feet posted:Reid might be the second best coach of this era. Granted, the 1st best coach is light years ahead of him, but still. I can't think of anyone I'd wedge between him and Belichick. The current iteration of Pete Carroll comes to mind (1990s version can gently caress right off though.) Coughlin has to make the list for beating Belichick twice. Cowher, maybe - he had a long run of being really good with weak QBs, and then capped it off with a Super Bowl win. John Harbaugh calls to mind too, just lit the kawalimus signal there I guess.

Romo was wasted on the Cowboys, if he left them for a real team before he got Boneitis he would have had an amazing career. Instead he spent his prime on rosters built by Jerry Jones's brain and Johnny Walker Blue Label.
