consider pre parcells era, we had holes every where, offense, defense, LB, CB, DL, etc. etc. so you can’t replace everybody in 2 or 3 years. we have gotten progressively better. Henry was an upgrade. Roy Williams was a hold over. we knew we had issues with FS and that’s why we brought in hamlin. so we knew we needed upgrades over reeves and jones two 7th rounders. it was a matter of when. we missed on some picks on the OL over the years, which forced us to continue to pick OL men and not pay attention to these other areas.

to completely over haul a team it takes about 5 years. plus average life in the NFL is about 3.5 years so some of the bottom feeding members will be replaced. BP called churining the bottom of the roster to keep the pressure on.

plus, Our first year with parcells was a wash because we went 10-6 and parcells admitted he didn’t see things as they were and wasted a year with the group he needed to replace.

I don’t want the Cowboys to not get rid of all of Parcells scrubs.

When people start wanting to keep everyone I start asking myself why.

You have to make changes or you will get the same results over and over again.

I am not a Wade fan, but I do like that he’s the pass rush clicking and I don’t expect that to take that much of a hit with Ellis now gone.

What we need to do is start creating more turnovers. Then more big hits and more game changing plays in the fourth quarter.

Case in point. The Ravens game from last season.

The offense finally got it together and puts up some points. All the defense has to do is shut down the Ravens offense, which is being run by a rookie QB, and I have confidence Romo would have lead us to the win.

But instead they fold uplike a lawn chair and forget how to do the most basic aspect of football.

Tackle McGahee or McClain and we just might have been in the playoffs!

let your scouting dept. evaluate talent. argue over the picks with the management during draft and make your draft selection according on how you evaluate the players not what you think they could be and wish them to be (goodrich, carter, carver, etc.).

by the way the two examples you use are DEs in a 3-4. guys that will never ever have stats on their side in a the 3-4 defense. but lets not forget that he did develop Romo, barber, crayton, witten, james. involved in drafting newman, ware.

you can’t pick HOFers or probowlers with every draft pick. you will have some first rounders fail (carpenter). you will have mor elow round picks fail. its inevitable. every team experiences the same thing.

and that re-investment comes from BP and how to run a football team.

i award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

lets not forget before parcells we were 5-11, 5-11, 5-11 we couldn’t spell playoffs if you would spot us p-l-a-y-o-f and then draw half the f as well. we had carter, hambrick in our back field. another hambrick as the LB. dwaune goodrich was a starting corner along with edwards. do you remember who our center was? who was the punter? or the kicker? who manned the middle on the DL? yeah we had the great sure to be HOFer, prenial probowler greg ellis at one DE and a string of failures at the other.

he started the rebuilding project over 4 years with 30 draft picks and FA having replaced 45 of the players from that team and made two play off appearances. otherwise we would have continued to toil at 5-11 and 3-13 eventually.

and yes before this Mr. Romo who you hate so much, we had the likes of Ryan Leaf, Quincty Carter, and can’t recall the rest they were so bad.

heart of the champion comes from within. I can’t install one for you. and yes the bottom feeding cowboys went from sucking so bad to one of the better teams. if you can’t recall we were top 10 offense the last two years BP was here and in fact we were top 5 offense in case you forgot.

you have no idea what it takes to build and run a football team. you just gripe like an old man. always finding something to complain about, always glass half empty.

He made it to the playoffs with Quincy Carter and Troy Hambrick. He should get into the HOF for that reason alone.
