i'd move Jerrah to #1 on your list, Scott. Until he hires a GM I don't see the team having the success it had 20 years ago.

There's no order - just adding Cowboys as they underperform. I'm sure Romo will make it soon enough, but I have to admit I have been impressed with his determination the last two games. Today I noticed again that Romo and his offense do not seem to be on the same page. He seems frustrated, yelling at players - one of the linemen threw his hands up in the air at one point, as if exasperated with Romo. And, as happened frequently last year, he had to call a time-out because the offense wasn't ready, and also got a delay of game.

But I'll save Romo for next week.

Perhaps I've been too tough on them - out of their five losses, four were to division leaders (Ravens, Falcons, Bears, Giants) and one was to a team that after tonight, could be in second by 1/2 game (Seahawks).

...but alas, it's Monday and I still have no love for JJ

The buck somewhat stops at Romo. Just not sure he has what it takes.

Just watched an episode about Jimmy Johnson on ESPN's "A Football Life" and it reminded me of how much Jerry Jones screwed up by not being able to get along with Jimmy. His ego has not gotten any smaller and he continues to insist he knows something about football.

Good point Jeff.
Scott you know they will drag us in to the end of the season and miss the playoffs by one game leaving us once again banging our heads against the wall!

[Runscott]

Yeah, I was almost hoping the Browns would end it for us.

My thoughts about Jones:

1. He couldn't stand Jimmy Johnson getting credit for the team's success
2. He realized that his fans were sick of his attitude, and so hired Parcells and gave him 'complete' control. His ego was still too big, so that didn't work
3. Now he considers Garrett 'his boy', and wants to see him succeed so that he can take credit for the team's success
4. Romo is an enigma. Jones never puts up with failure this long. Another case of Jones needing to prove he made a good choice?

Better than Randall Cunningham, Drew Bledsoe, and Vinny Testaverde? Last time I checked all of those players had won a playoff game in their career. Kitna and Romo have the same amount of playoff wins so I'll call that a push. He folds like a bad lawn chair under playoff pressure.

I'll give you, he's better than Anthony Wright, Quincy Carter, Stephen McGee, Ryan Leaf (oh boy!), Clint Stoerner, Drew Henson, and Chad Hutchinson.

Headcases are the problem for the Cowboys. In the locker room, front office, and on the sidelines. Egos, nothing more than that.

For a guy who was an undrafted Free Agent out of college, he sure takes a lot of flack. He may actually be one of the biggest over-achievers in Cowboys history.

Over-achiever? Romo is the embodiment of NFL mediocrity. He takes flack because he deserves it. All of this "Romo is an elite quarterback" talk is a joke. He will never win a playoff game.... ever! If he does I will eat a Tony Romo Fathead, and post a pic of my meal on net54.

BTW Kitna was also an undrafted free agent from Central Washington University (Div 2), even played in Europe for a while. Was he also "the biggest over-achiever in Cowboys history"? Sincerely, Hopeless Jon Kitna Apologist and CWU Alum.

Jimmy stood up to Jerry and wouldn't let Jerry run the team. Each head coach after Jimmy has been a bit of a puppet. It's all about Jerry. Jerry even said, the other night on the news, that if he were head coach he would fire himself . I thought that was pretty funny.

Sad, whiny Cowboy fans make me happy.
