Dallas Cowboys 'Loser' list

[HRBAKER]

Alan and Scott,
You two think that the talent on this team is Super Bowl caliber and all that's missing is the right coach?

I misinterpreted this line from your previous post:


I tend to agree with Alan that if you bring a good coaching staff in, you turn this team around fairly fast.

Sorry about that./

IMO opinion in this league the way the rules are set up today, unless you are very lucky or have a super-stifling D you almost need an elite quarterback to compete, Eli and the Giants excepted as outliers.

As a lifelong Cardinal football fan I can attest to what difference a great QB makes, Kurt Warner took an above average team to within 1:32 of winning a Super Bowl.

It's funny, I was actually very upset at the Giants organization when they benched Kurt Warner, in favor of the Rookie, Eli Manning.

Long run, it turned out to be the right call, but it's hard as a fan when you see a team in the playoff hunt, throw that away halfway through the season, for the sole purpose of seasoning a rookie QB who has no chance of winning many games at the time.

Well, your interpretation makes sense. When I say "turn around", I'm thinking of stringing together consecutive 'big' wins to start. For instance, last year they collapsed and didn't make the playoffs - I would expect a good coach to have taken that team farther, perhaps to the NFC championship and maybe the Superbowl. This year's team looks beaten, but I still think a coaching change, even at this point, could get them into the playoffs.
