ESPNDallas: Cowboys Have Lowered The Bar

[dblanch66]

Obnoxious. Overrated. Over-hyped. OVER.
Dallas Sucks.

Well said.

Ed Werner makes some points but is really writing this from his own selfish perspective. To him the heroes are the guys who talk to him, and allow him to get more material for his articles? That's a dumb way to judge which players from the Cowboys have their heads on straight and which ones don't.

It doesn't matter if you shy from the media IMO, just perform.

I'm not really sure about the "good ol days" angle of the article. Were things really better under Parcells? They made the postseason twice, went 0-2, and failed to win the division.

Parcells contributed because he put legitimate offensive talent on the roster without a lot of high picks. But Wade has arguably contributed more by developing that first round defensive talent that was ticketed for bust-city.

You can compare their records: Parcells' "accountability" didn't bring Dallas any more wins than Wade's "aw-shucks" attitude.

Alot of people had the misconception that Parcells was better for Dallas than Phillips but the numbers prove otherwise. I still remember when Parcells drafted Julius Jones instead of Steven Jackson. Too funny. Parcells didn't want D-Ware, but JJ overrode his decision to make the pick sadly to say. With that said, I would take WP over JH as our D-Coord. anyday of the week.

Parcells turned around a culture that was seriously messed up. Much like Shanahan is trying to do here. Do you think WP would have done the same with the teams that JJ had mangled earlier in the decade? Parcells set up the team(not every player, but a solid base) that WP has managed the last few years. I tend to believe Parcells would have had them in the NFC Championship atleast once, and possibly to the SB. WP has never shown that same ability, despite his excellent regular season record.

I agree that WP would have been an excellent DC but now he is stained with cowpuke.

The Redskins on top of the NFC East...the Cowgirls suck...it's early...but life is good.

The Cowboys suck because Romo sucks. Romo sucks because their offensive line sucks. Their offensive line sucks because their coaching sucks. Their coaching sucks because Jerry Jones sucks. Cowboys suck.

What they need to do is the same thing they did at OSU. At certain Ohio St fan apparel stores they sell a small granite tombstone where it says Michigan: Where a rose never grows. Sell some tombstone with Dallas: Where Superbowl dreams die hard!!

Jerry and the Cowboys FO pulled a classic Vinny Cerratto. Their biggest need was Offensive line and they drafted WR Dez Bryant. HA! Plus this was a draft rich and over flowing in offensive and defensive lineman. Who the hell drafts a WR in the 1st round? Stupid.
Thank god our new FO is more worried about winning then filling seats and making headlines.

This post is dead on.

It just made me warm all over to read that -- you reap what you sow, the only reason that team had any degree of success is the insane amount of talent they have all over the field (I'm sorry but it's true).
