No, it's the overall body of work against Shanny/McVay style offenses.
The Packers game was just the cherry on top of the sheet sundae 🍨 for Dan Queen. You wanna eat that?
The results have been mostly good. The games themselves have been dogwater.
Lions Rams was a solid 8/10, for a playoff game.
The rest of the games have been painfully uncompetitive or outright boring.
The more I think about it, it would be a mistake to hire Dan Queen.
Get back to your Packers roots, John.
Offensive HC, draft and develop QBs. This has to be the plan.
I challenge you to find a national pundit, former Cowboys player, or Cowboys fan that thought the Cowboys had a successful season after this playoff loss and they would be crazy to let McCarthy go.
Just find me 1.
As a runningback, that also throws it 5x a game to catch the opponent by surprise. A sort of 2 QB backfield.
One of these days a team is going to innovate and have 2 guys back there that can both run and pass. And they will dominate.
Quinn got blown out by Lafleur, McDaniel, and Kyle this year. Hell, Waldron even got him some.
I was cool with Quinn being coach until Lafleur absolutely embarrassed him in the playoffs.
Quinn is better than old man Pete. As he would hire better coaches, and the team would generate more...
This is the most important post I will ever make on .NET.
But first, you left out some of my best predictions and arguments in that time frame.
-Pete would squander it, he is the problem.
-Despite the massive investment they will get worse on defense.
-Clint Hurtt would be his downfall.
-Pete...
A successful season according to some. 12 regular season wins is the important bit.
They are totally off of their rockers, but some are content with mediocrity.
McCarthy is gone because he is the offensive version of Pete Carroll.
I can't find a single national pundit, former player, or Cowboys fan that doesn't want him back.
It's universal. They all want him fired.
Someone post a link of you come across one that praises McCarthy's 12 wins, and...
The result is horrible.
But even more important, is his defenses have looked horrible against, the Shanny/McVay types like Miami and now GB.
He can't be the guy due to this.
JS, please hire an up and coming offensive coach and draft a QB.
