Well that's unfortunate. I don't think Rob Ryan is great but he did OK given all the injuries and I would've given him one more year to prove something. Plus the players were just starting to get a grasp on his scheme and now they have to learn another one. You can't change coordinators every...
8-8 once again. 4-4 at home, 4-4 on the road, 3-3 in the division. Doesn't get more mediocre than that but then again, that's pretty much been the theme for the last 16 years
Garrett is awful. So he doesn't have a problem running the ball at the goal line 5 times when the defense has all 11 guys on the line. But when you're at the 20 on 2nd and 1, he doesn't even want to try a run or QB draw.
And Romo...I'm done with him. He's a decent QB but he's the equivalent of...
Same problems every week. Nothing's gonna change. Weekly penalties, dropped passes, interceptions, etc. They don't learn from their mistakes...not only the players but the coaches.
They will always have a 7-9 win ceiling every year because they just don't "get" it
^This team has been playing "on paper" for years now. Eventually you gotta start playing on the field and they just don't work hard enough on fixing their mistakes. They have a big drop, run a wrong route, turn the ball over one week and then the next week, come right out and do the exact same...
This team has pretty much become a more expensive, .500 version of the Raiders. Sure we have a few better players but all that is good for is a few more wins. You can change coaches, change coordinators, etc. but in the end, we're still not even close to getting it right.
Well, it's over. A great run for 10+ years but it's time to move on. They won't trade Dirk because he'd rather finish out his career so I don't expect us to really be able to rebuild until his contract is done in 2 years. This is the stretch run, let him ride off into the sunset. Maybe get his...
Dirk isn't a monster like those others? You gotta be kidding me. So it's all about numbers and stats? The guy took two teams to the Finals, including one that had Adrian Griffin and Desagana Diop in the starting lineup, and yet he shouldn't be put in the same category as a KG, Wade, etc. who...
Gotta retool. It might take another year and another offseason but they gotta break this championship core up. Even Dirk admitted that this team lacks scoring talent and we need players with 1 on 1 scoring ability. Also on the search for a quality center, which won't be easy. Too many holes to fill
I wouldn't worry too much about Dirk yet. He's a creature of habit and has some pretty unorthodox methods...we're talking about a guy that trained doing handstands and playing the sax to improve his game The lockout year messed up his routine and he hasn't been the same.
At the very least, we should've kept Brewer and Rudy though...I would've been a lot more optimistic about our chances this season. We were just too thin at the wings this year. Having some athleticism on the perimeter would've helped. Brewer should have inherited Stevenson's role
