Cowboys have been to the playoffs 5 times since Romo has been starting for them, and have had 4 10 win seasons and 6 8 to 9 win seasons and 2 losing seasons, one of which was last year(their worst record w/Romo at the helm).
ALL that proves is that a good QB makes a big difference --- which we both know and agree on.
They also had Witten, Dez, TO, Marion Barber, Newman, Flozell, D Ware, R Williams(safety not wr, the wr was terrible as seen in chicago), Miles Austin, just to name a few. They've had talent, they've just lacked enough on the D and OL to make a difference against the better teams in the NFL.
I really like to know why so many think we don't have much talent...
There's not enough talent yet and there's not talent at some really important positions. There's not enough talent from the depth players and that really showed over the season. If they could all stay healthy then it's a completely different team but that's not realistic.
Not just that, but how many of those talented players missed how many games; and how many were just thrown on IR at the end of the season to up the #'s?
Dallas lost their qb early on last year, sure Bears lost Cutler, but that's not the same lvl of loss as Romo is. Doesn't matter how good your team is when you lose your franchise qb it's ova. See Indy and the suck for luck year. Team had been a constant playoff contender, loses manning, #1 pick in the draft.
Bears don't have a franchise qb, so there is no comparison about losing to winning seasons. Bears draft Watson/Kizer/Trib then they just might have a huge upswing in wins.
yeah, it is for a SB win, but should not be for wins in a relatively easy schedule. You won't win them all, but you should win some. And that number should be larger than 3.

We played half our schedule against playoff teams, 8 games against teams in the top 15 for defense, 6 games against teams in the top 15 in offense, and 10 games against teams with winning records. We also played the #1, 2, 5 ranked defenses once, and the 6th ranked defense twice. It wasn't the hardest schedule in the league...but it was pretty damn hard.

ok. guess we should be more than happy with 3 wins then? Sorry, I'm not.

Who said I was happy about it? Just because I can look at and rationally explain the reasons as to why it occurred doesn't mean I'm happy with the outcome. I'm not happy with the outcome, but I understand why it happened, and I want it to be fixed.

Everyone is sick about the season. I don't know that we can prove how much each factor contributed to wins/losses. Should we have had more than 3 wins with the roster we had that was healthy? Maybe, but how many wins I don't think we know. But nobody is happy about how bad the team has become.
