Their DNA is corrupt

Which Cowboy left it on the field?
The o-line, one second quarter drive aside, didn't get any push on run downs and leaked enough to get their QB battered.
The receivers dropped passes. Patrick Crayton made a grab in traffic after dropping his first. That aside, the receiver corps was AWOL. Roy Williams was supposed to have escaped Detroit, but he brought the Lions funk with him. He whined during the week about his role, just as he did in Detroit, and then played an abysmal game. I wrote before that he was a dubious buy but shut up once the trade was made, because he's a Cowboy now and will be for a long time. But I'm far more bullish on Miles Austin going forward than I am on this guy.
Did he set his QB up, or did he QB whip it loose? Romo threw a couple of howlers, but Jason Witten aside, there were no consistent targets open that day.
But almost everybody shares the shame. Marion Barber? You're not exempt. Flozell Adams? No comments, please.
On defense, the mistakes start at the top.
Terence Newman is your best cover guy. He lost his duel with Desean Jackson today. He was beaten on a seam and took a ghastly interference penalty in the last fifteen seconds of the half.
The Dallas line didn't get a sack. Demarcus Ware? Nothing. Jay Ratliff? Nothing. Dallas rushed four to keep Donovan McNabb in the pocket, but the one time he broke their contain, he broke their backs on his 59 yard toss to Correll Buckhalter. Their only pressure came on blitzes.
And please, Jerry, if you do nothing else tomorrow, end the Adam Jones experiment. He's an assclown off the field and he's an assclown on the field. He looks lost in coverage, and that's nothing new. He was lost in Cleveland back in September. He simply does not think on the field.
He was a mark on two key Eagles 3rd down conversions. He took a stupid penalty after the second, which moved Philly closer to a score. He fumbled a kickoff on the next to last play of the half.
Stupid is as stupid does, and he's stupid to the marrow in his bones. Orlando Scandrick and Mike Jenkins can play. You don't need this fool another minute in a Cowboys uniform.
The Eagles made big plays and waited for the Cowboys to self destruct. They did.
You can toss every coach in the dumpster tomorrow, and some would deserve it, but the players remain.
These are the players who sent Bill Parcells into retirement. Remember that. Some guys may love the game as much, but nobody loves football more than the Tuna. He risked his heart to come back to football. He kissed his marriage goodbye for his true love on the sideline.
And these turkeys broke him. And they were happy when he left. They're going to end Wade Phillips' tenure, sooner or later. Take your pick for a savior: Cowher, Ryan, Holmgren, whomever. I doubt that the reincarnation of Vince Lombardi could make this roster, in its current state, work.
Tony Sparano took a less talented Dolphins team to the playoffs today, but he couldn't break the Cowboys line of its bad habits when he was here. Did he get a brain transplant on his flight from Dallas to Miami, or did he leave a lot of stubborn players behind?
It's going to take a talent transfusion to get this team anywhere. The DNA of this lineup is corrupt. We can go up and down looking for scapegoats, but I'd turn the equation upside down. Who ISN'T culpable today? Jason Witten gets a pass. Tashard Choice did his job. That's about it.
Notes:
-- If you were wondering why Pat McQuistan never replaced Cory Proctor, today you got your answer. McQuistan has more ballast, but he has bad feet and cannot mirror pass rushers laterally. There was way too much leakage in his line. He's one of many Cowboys who played their last game in the uniform today.

I for one still want to see what Pacman can do next year.
And I also think the RW trade should help us next year even if he was dissapointing this season.

Why would you want to dump TO?
He is still one of the best receivers in the league. And who do you want to replace him with? RW who has been out performed by Crayton since getting here? Or how about a rookie receiver? Should we draft one with our 2nd round Pick?
T.O. is going to be a cowboy until he retires and Im glad of that.

I usuallly agree with you but I think you are off base with Jones.
he is no worse than other defensive players on the field. At least he tries.
the problem starts and ends with Jerry. he needs to step down as GM.
I wanted to fire wade weeks ago but he is not the problem.
Jerry needs to hire a football guy as GM and the coach is accountable to the GM and not Jerry.
jerry is probably in the locker room telling these guys you played hard.
Jerry is too close to this team and its players.
Get A real GM who has power to cut players when necessary.
Things willnot change until Jerry staoes down as GM!!!!!!!!

What exactly did Pacman do that was good?
Nothing.
I know you love it when Newman gets a play made against him, but he was in good coverage on both those big plays early on. He also came up and knocked down a couple passes, and blew up Jackson on another.
Henry was on the wrong man because Burnett made a mistake. He should have taken the RB out of the backfield.
So no, Newman did not have a far worse game, he had a much better game than Pacman.

Henry is the one who will be gone
not pacman. Boyzfan94 is correct in saying that Newman was a far bigger disappointment. Just because Joe Buck hates pac means every cowboys fan has to?
He had several good kick returns today, and lost the ball at the end of the first half struggling to gain more yardage and break the return for a few more yards. Romo’s pick was much more of a gamechanger. What about Barber’s fumble? Another Romo pick?
And the late hit penalty wasn’t all that bad either. Buck’s exaggerated call of the late hit reminded me of how “horrified” he was when randy moss pretended to moon the fans at Lambeau field. He was trying to pull the ball out and threw him down a half step out of bounds.
Henry is slow and old. Anyone know who the best available free agent safeties are? I think thats our biggest upgrade. would be nice if ed reed was an FA..

Henry needs to go if they don't want him as a FS
otherwise I agree. Newman, Jenkins and Scandrick are the starting 3 next year.
Roy Williams is gone and Hamlin is a SS not a FS. He was at his best in Seattle when at the SS. Henry would do well at FS.
by Boyzfan94 on Dec 28, 2008 8:10 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Henry can't tackle well enough to be a safety
he’s a corner who can’t run any more.
hamlin can play either as long as he gets the reps, and i think he’s a step slow to be a great FS.. have him bulk up and play closer to the line and blitz more.
by Charles Haley on Dec 28, 2008 8:11 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Agreed
Playing him at FS is a band-aid move.
Dallas needs a play maker in the middle of the field.
If Henry has any time left on his deal, and any team offers Dallas anything for him, I’d bit. The Cleveland papers were screaming for the Browns to re-acquire him in August. That window has closed.

I'm all for drafting a FS, but I don't see us spending a high pick on one
RW fall from grace ruined that. It would have to be a FA, but the talk was him moving to FS and now might happen.

Jerry may be too close to the players. He’s given way too many of them cushy contracts. There are a lot of secure guys who just took the money.
Yeah, Jones is a marginal player, but he was a key reason the game got out of hand in the 2nd quarter.
And he hasn’t done a damn thing this year. Look at the big games when Dallas’ secondary played well. He wasn’t there.

I think it is easy pick on Jones as the villain. Romo is a big part of the problem along with garrett.

You are daft and you make Cowboy fans look stupid
Dallas will have $100MM tied up in QBs if they sign Cassel. In other words, it’s not going to happen.
Of course, how could Cassel’s agent turn down the opportunity for him to be a backup in Dallas when he could walk in as the Day One starter for about 8 other franchises?
Wake up, man. Tony Romo makes a few mistakes but he isn’t the reason this train wrecked.

Give Romo 1 more year.
Couple him to an Oline that could be used as a colander, and then see. If he can’t make it with a good Oline, cut him. I think, though, with a good Oline, he’ll be great.

They had absolutely no depth
When they had a healthy starting five, they’re good.
But you saw, they had no backups. Proctor is merde. Holland was a good pickup, but there’s a reason Mike Shanahan cut a guy who started last year. He took 13 weeks to get in shape and learn the blocking scheme here.
They didn’t have any depth, and they’re lucky they only lost one starter this year. You saw today why Flozell kept playing when he had a finger the size of my leg and a bum shoulder. He was still better than the backups in that condition.

OK here is my question
Some are saying that GM Jerry is the problem. I agree that depth was an issue and not just at the OL the QB position as well. Is it the GMs job to get to know that the team needs back ups or is it the coaches job to tell the GM that we need better backups and then the GM can draft or acquire the players needed?

I don't agree with everything Jerry does or says. Didn't like the RW2 trade or the comments he made about Barber
But the reason we have such high expectations are because of the good work he’s done in the draft and FA. He built us a Corvette and it got driven into a brick wall. HE didn’t do that. We have high expectations ‘cause we know our owner/GM has even higher ones. As far as I’m concerned he’s one of the only guys that I don’t have to point my finger at as to why we sucked.

It was the other peripheral crap, their egos and such, that ruined that. Parcells got everything he could have possibly wanted and it still wasn’t enough. Jerry the GM, as far as most personnel moves he’s made, has been very good.
And as far as being stuck with coaches like Wade, if Parcells hadn’t took so long to decide to retire Jerry could have had just about any coach he wanted as long as he was willing to pay them. Wade just hasn’t worked out is all

Prophetic blog from Feb. 9th 2007
http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/02/09/2053592.php
Cowboys Hire Wade Phillips For Some Reason
"… They hired Phillips because he has proven success with the 3-4 defensive alignment, which Parcells has very successfully drafted the talent for. Just one flaw there… in the six seasons since Phillips last coached, he served as San Diego’s defensive coordinator. His defense only ranked in the top 10 twice (‘01 and ’06), and his teams were always the same — great run defense, swiss cheese secondary (ranked in the bottom 10 four times). What was one of Dallas’ biggest problems last season? A porous secondary! They finished 24th in the league, giving up an average of 219 passing yards per game.
Phillips’ track record shows he is very unlikely to change that trend, and with it, unlikely to change Dallas’ fortunes.
Jerry Jones got so emotional he cried at the press conference, but it was probably just a show. Jerry loves hiring hometown boys (Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer both played with him at Arkansas, and Phillips is from Houtson), and is a lot like Al Davis – he makes whatever decisions he feels like, everyone else be damned. Well, Jerry, enjoy the fruits of your labor, which will probably be a few more 9-7 seasons before you fire Wade and promote Jason Garrett to head ball coach."

Dallas Cowboys Hire Wade Phillips? What, Bum Phillips Wasn’t Available?
Jerry Jones’ Latest Hire Another Headscratcher
www.associatedcontent.com/article/146707/dallas_cowboys_hire_wade_phillips_what.html – 58k
“To sum it up, in my opinion, Jerry Jones has dealt the biggest blow to Cowboys, well, since Brokeback Mountain with this hire. I guess Jones is following in the footsteps of his mentor, Frank Broyles, the Athletic Director at Arkansas who at over 80 years of age is still clinging to power and hiring yes men. Al Davis is another NFL owner who appears to be out of touch with reality, but at least Davis hired a young up and comer instead of a retread with 50,000 miles and a leaky valve. You have to wonder if that facelift Jones had a few years back tightened his skin to the point it cut off circulation to his brain. In any event, if this hire doesn’t work out, and I suspect it won’t, who will be the next Coach on the Cowboy carousel?”

We had a decent Oline that Tony propped up last year. One key player goes down, and the whole house of cards fell. It’s not rocket science to assume that you might lose a player to injury, and the backups were clowns. We need a whole new Oline. Cut everyone but Columbo and Davis, but put them on probation.

Dallas is an average team that has no heart and no guts. There is no accountability with this team and that’s becasue it starts at the top with jerry Jones. He’s the ring master who is more into the lights of hollywood than football, To him any news, good or bad is good. That kind of thinking will not win you football games. You’re supposed to have great players, but I dont hear T.E.A.M in any of that talk. Team means Together Everyone Acheives More. It’s time for jerry to step back and hire a real GM and clean out this coaching staff..unti that happens, this team isn’t winning anything….

C’mon, man, you’re right about Jones, now get it right about TO, he’s got to go regardless of the cap hit or even for a 4th-rounder. He’s old and done on the field, and just as much a distraction as ever (when we’re not 11-1) off of it.
Clear some cancers off this team, get back to finding ‘character ’ guys, and then they’ll be coachable, or at least more so.
It’s obvious the problem is mental/emotional, not talent-get their crap together in their heads and they’ll “Execute”. Hardass Parcells didn’t work, easygoing Wade didn’t work, your right, it’s the players, and it’s mental-not physical.

dude...
i’m wondering where the disconnect on offense came from. we were not in sync on offense for most of this season. i know the main culprits: injuries, lost some coaches, midseason trades. but there has to be something that ‘s going to be exposed in the offseason, something that will come to light and make the cris carters and tom jacksons of the world jump for joy. i know it’s coming….no excuse to put on an offensive (and defensive ) show like that in the biggest game of the year…
in retrospect, i think our season was lost during those two long late 4th quarter runs by the ravens. that was the game we had to win. i knew it was going to be tough in philly. a sad sack franchise like that lives for moments like this to humiliate the cowboys. that’s their goal in life. against baltimore was the game we needed to win. and we didn’t….
it just saddens me that we lost THIS way. no fight. no character. troy and buck laughing at us the whole time. JFE and JJT and Galloway toasting each other probably right now. I’ve fought tooth and nail with cowboy haters all year and we fulfilled every stereotype ever uttered about us….
so disappointed….

nope. he's right. and just so you know...
i heard him on the radio a few weeks ago, and he had Dallas as the team that would scare a lot of other playoff teams if they got in.
so no… he does a good job remaining objective.
until da King hires a “real head coach,” that’s about all the Cowboys will amount to – “a collection of toys.”
it’s like having a stacked fantasy football team with big name players who underperform when you need a big win.

Yes
This is absolutely correct. This team does not have the proper mental toughness or discipline and that has to be laid at Wade’s feet.
When it comes to players, however, the core person who cost us the game today was Tony Romo. And I am an enormous Romo fan and believe he can be the QB we want him to be. He has huge talent and ability but the questions people had about him have now been definitively answered. How he begins to get the answers to these issues (and having the right coach to help him get there) will determine whether or not we will become a real contender in the near future. Once Romo threw high to Williams and threw that unbelievably stupid INT, the table was set that we were not ready to play the game, Romo wasn’t serious, we were going to do another round of “let’s get behind and then try to play catch-up” and the entirety of the offense and the team fell in line. There’s a lot more to be said about this but anyone who tries to pick out specious plays like a total horsesh*t penalty on Pac is avoiding the elephant in the room. This loss began and ended with Tony Romo, and it is high time to start addressing the very real mental hurdles he has that are preventing him and the team from taking the next stop. Again, I am a HUGE Romo fan and firmly believe he can be one of the top QB’s in the league, but until we reset his mentality we will be just another pretender prone to these meltdowns. I thought the Giants game last year in the playoffs was a fluke and Romo would soon outgrow it. It was not a fluke and he has not outgrown this mentality. The INT to Williams was a white flag to the world, and the team promptly picked up the signal and began its surrender. The D had allowed the big play to Buckhalter but that is the kind of play McNabb and the Eagles can make. As soon as Romo threw that INT, however, the collective tapping of the Cowboys began in earnest.

Its easy to say Romo was the main reason we lost,
but not many QBs can win games when their O-line doesnt block and their D gives up 40+

Romo was not ready to get it done today...
…it has to do with his mentality. He prefers to play lax until he ‘has’ to play well. Think the Buffalo game last year, or Arizona this year or other similar games.
The QB has extra responsibility on him because he leads the offense, and the team. It’s not the same thing for Pac to have a flawed mental outlook as it is Romo. Romo is much more of a limiting factor because of his role in running the offense and setting the tone. Again, the great thing here is that Romo has so much talent and ability that the fixes he needs to make don’t have to take forever and he clearly has the tools to get the job done. That said, until he starts to fine tune his thinking we’re going to be susceptible to letdowns along these lines, if not so bad. Maybe more like the Giants playoff game.
The D had to deal with like 5+ turnover. They did not do well today but they carried us for a good stretch later in the season. It was time for the offense to step up and they could not do that. Now, is part of that on Garrett? Absolutely. But for on the field operators, Romo is the key figure who deserves blame, IMO. We may be able to win with a Dilfer-like figure but if we’re going to rely on Romo he has to vastly improve his mental approach and execution or we will not seriously contend.
The O line did not force Romo to miss Williams so badly early in the game and they did not make Romo throw that pathetic INT. These plays helped to set the tone and sent the white flag signal out to the team that it wasn’t happening today.

you're reaching if you think the strength and conditioning coach is the problem
It’s the coaching, they are not prepared to play these games, that’s on the headcoach. Don’t give this garbage that NE won three superbowls, they had the talent where the cowboys were in salary cap hell and puppet headcoaches. Bill Parcells took a bunch of scrubs to the playoff his first year, then spent the next three years rebuilding the scouting department and player personel. Bill’s bigest roblem was that he micro managed everything and didn’t allow his assistants to do their thing. Wade Phillips had a ready made team to work with. they practice soft, you play soft. When this team got punched in the mouth, they folded ike a cheap suit. The team flat out quit during the ram game. That’s not the strength and conditioning coach

2. D-Line: Canty and Spears are just stupid, heartless morons.
3. CB and Safeties: Newman is just terrible. The guy is just amazingly stupid and terrible at coverage. he’s quick so he’s always running with the receivers, but man he can’t turn for the ball…..ever!!!…..another feraking idiot. Roy Williams is another moron who can’t get it done.

Getting rid of Garrett would be a bad decision.
He had a great first year, and is usual his second year was not as good. The third year is when you really find out whether he is a good OC, so I say let him stay at least one more year.

Raf’s going to pull out the numbers this off season, and he’s going to see that Pacman had the best numbers of any corner on our team. KC Joyner will back him up. I remember he played pretty well in Pittsburgh and many other games before his suspension.
I will remember the long throws that Newman gave up through out the season than any of Pacman’s mistakes. I’ll remember Romo’s fumbles and interceptions more than Pacman’s mistakes.

examples, to me, are Tank Johnson replacing Ferguson and also losing Campbell at TE (although that happened under Parcells watch)

but watch SD and Denver’s offense and the poise/confidence of Rivers and Cutler. It’s not the players, it’s the coach. Garrett is a bad offensive coordinator. Who knew? He had all the makings of what most of would think was a good coach. Young guy, intense, serious, well spoken, etc.
I refuse to believe that Romo, Witten, Owens, Choice, etc. all forgot how to play. The offense is disjointed, has no personality, and no rhythm. Garrett is in over his head.

Fascinating
2zzs posts are generally very enjoyable, especially after a loss. in fact, i found out he was banned because I was searching for his (and fighter, jarhead, there are others) posts when it led me to this. banning hin is a loss in my book. anyway, i’m fascinated by your hard line against profanity. is there some kind of economic driver to it – i dont know much about this fancy web advertising you young un’s live off of, but do the big boys not put down ads on blogs that include profanity? otherwise, WTF (that’s a who in this instance) cares that a sequence of letters can be strung together in a manner that some may find offensive! it’s one thing to ban those who are bent on posting about religion or politics or the non-cowboys drivel you often see on the dmn blog, but an f-bomb or three in an otherwise coherent post is fine by me. have you put this up to majority vote, or is this a my way or the highway type deal?
by Elberraco on Dec 29, 2008 11:18 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I'm happy to answer your questions
I’ve had no problems with his regular posts, I find them informative and enjoyable, too. But for two weeks running he’s littered the gameday threads with profanity. As I’ve stated in the above comments, I’d welcome him back but I just need to know that he can control the vulgarity. I’ve asked Rafael to reach out to him to get this done. I have nothing personal against him at all, but in the chaos of the gameday threads it was the easiest way to stop it.
There is an economic driver to the profanity ban. It can affect the advertising and deals with other MSM sports sites that could help in the growth of this blog. I make very little money off of producing this blog (in no way do I come close to living off of it) but hope one day that will change. So that is part of the equation but not the main driving factor.
I have the profanity rule for a few reasons. One, I’ve seen plenty of discussion sites that allow profanity and have seen the discourse on those sites devolve into a useless morass of childish mud-slinging. Not on all sites, but it does happen. When I started this blog one of my over-riding tenets was that it will never become like that, it will always be a place where people can come and discuss the Cowboys without the insanity that infects other sites. The profanity rule tends to keep people above board and lessens the possibility of flame wars, etc. The problem with the idea of a few f-bombs in an otherwise coherent post is that not all people would limit it to that. Soon, you’d have people just dropping FU’s on comments they don’t like etc. BTW, I’m no prude, I can curse like a sailor off the blog, just ask Rafael.
Secondly, I want everybody to enjoy the blog regardless of age, I don’t want some kid reading the blog then have his parents see what’s being written here. It goes to the other end of the spectrum, I want my Mom to be able to read the blog without being embarrassed by the language. Those are just examples but convey the idea that being a PG-rated blog is where I want to be.
I don’t think it’s that much of an imposition to ask people to keep the language clean. We are asked to do that in various parts of our life and this is just another place. I’ve had very little problem with commenters conforming to the rule and I think it has helped keep the conversation here remain civil and interesting. I’d like to believe that is helped this blog grow to it’s current size. I don’t expect everyone will agree with that, but even if you don’t agree I think if you enjoy the blog, it’s something that can be respected.
As for the last question about a majority vote, I don’t want to be the dictator but I have to say that will not happen. I’m sorry to sound like the jerk on this issue, but it’s just something I really believe in and I couldn’t write and maintain this blog if I didn’t have the rule in place. It will always be in place here. Again, I don’t think it’s hard to think for a moment before dumping a string of profanities in a comment.
Thanks for asking the questions. It gave me a chance to explain to the new members. I know it doesn’t make me popular with some people but sometimes you got to do what you think is right. In this case, I think the rule is the right move. I hope that helps to explain it to you.

I really like what you just wrote
and in my opinion, the non profanity rule has probably keep a lot of people loyal to your blog. Well, at least me :-)
90% of the blogs I went to (unless it’s cooking blogs, lol) are filled with people who don’t know how to write correctly or politely. And believe me, French blogs are the same, plus the bad spelling !
So again, thanks for the job you and your collegues are doing.

they completely choke
now the media and the cowboys haters get exactly what they want
all the skins and ravens fans i live near have been messaging me non stop
remember, we lost to the eagles..its like we always find ways to LOSE games
and we never come prepared
whenever we lose the other team always know how to beat us and we just keep doing the same crap

I just think that when one of them has to be in the slot that role is suited better to PC. For example if we were lining TO up in the slot I would split Austin out wide rather than PC.

Look at the games where Dallas had its five projected starters healthy.
It’s a small list — Green Bay and Washington II.
It’s no coincidence that those were Dallas’ two best running games.
They didn’t have the muscle to mash with Proctor out.

I agree that those games were the best running games...
I do not have the stats..but i would definitely like to know the ratio of pass v/s run plays. My point here again is…we are a pass happy offense…it could very well be because of the WR’s egos…but you are under utilizing great talent if you cannot find ways to get the 3 RB’s their carries. I mean the talk now is to go towards a west coast style offense and that is not too good for our running game. I rather trade away one of these assets when they have value.

Rafael is usually very measured in his comments...
so I always enjoy reading his take on the game, but I know things are bad when even he seems frustrated. I don’t remember Raf ever calling out the whole team (-2) before…
I’m pretty sad, disappointed and pissed right now. It took a couple of strong drinks and many deep breaths before I was able to sit down and write down some of my thoughts…
We need to improve the depth of out offensive line. The starters won’t change because of the contracts, nor should they because we have a pretty good offensive line when they’re all healthy and playing. Look at all of Romo’s good games, they all came when he had adequate protection (i.e. Kosier and Holland). With how poorly Proctor played, no othe lineman (Free, McQuistan, and Berger) could step up and replace him. Good defenses saw this and we had jail break after jail break.
We need to draft a free safety next year. Hamlin hasn’t played up to expectations and Watkins isn’t the answer.
I fought against popular belief that we had a coaching problem. I felt Wade was a pretty good coach, and felt vindicated when the defense played so well the second half of the season when he took over play calling. I was thinking, like most, that all those high draft picks on defense was starting to gel and understand Wade’s system. But looking at how lackadaisical and unprepared they looked in the biggest game of the season, I have to question whether this coaching staff can get it done. Special Teams coach, Bruce Reed needs to get dunmped. I’d also consider dumping Hudson Houck. I know he’s got a great resume, but the line has regressed this year.
For those dumping on Romo…get off it! This guy is definitely a top 5 QB, get him better protected and he may catapult to the top QB in the league. Give him a defense that plays consistently well, and he won’t force throws to play catchup. It hasn’t been Romo that has melted down in December and January, it has been the defense. Look at his tenure so far, he’s had to carry this team most of the way. His teamates around him have to step up.
Finally, I hope Jerry takes some time to evaluate any changes he wants to make. I hope wholesale changes aren’t made. The best teams are the ones that remain consistent and methodical. This team is talented and close…maybe it just takes playing together another seasons.

Not a top five QB
T. Brady, P. Manning, E. Manning, P. Rivers, J. Cutler, D Brees

Romo is in the same group as D. McNabb, M. Ryan, Rodgers, Pennington, Hasselbeck, etc.
Romo has the stats he has because of the talent on the offense.

A turnover is a turnover. They hurt your team just as much. Who cares about yardage anyway?? Is that what helps a team win?? He actually threw for over 5000 yards I think and that did what for them?? Didn’t help them win and didn’t put enough points on the board either. He threw the ball 586 times and he only had 30 TD’s and still threw it to the other team 17 times. Turnovers help the other team no matter how much yardage you throw for.
