1. QB-Romo’s decision making not were it needed to be, he did a good job, but he is capable of great. Out with injury for 3 games, and then played hurt every game there after.

1. RB- Marion YPC down, he played injured for all of December. Felix missed 10 games this season. Choice played well.

1. WR/TE-This group overall wasn’t bad, but injures to Miles Austin, Roy Williams, and Jason Witten affected the team. Tough to establish continuity with guys who can practice or play.

1. OL-This group missed way too many assignments in pass protection and did a so-so job run blocking.

1. DL-Group stayed healthy, Rat played well, but we needed more from this group especially rush defense.

1. LB-Strongest group on the team last year.

1. Secondary-banged up-Newman missed time, Roy Williams out, Pat Watkins out, and Hamlin barely healthy enough for game day. Plus, you add in the Pac-man experiment -the suspension, the injury, and the distraction.

1. HC-I just don’t think Wade did enough to inspire the team. In my opinion he didn’t spend enough time with the defense last year. Our Defense was way too inconsistent.

1. DC-Fired for a Reason

1. OC-Good job early, but defenses caught up to his scheme.

1. Injuries-Dallas just couldn’t beat the injury bug..

After reflecting on the season, I realized that the team failed in many phases, and you can just blame one person. Everyone is scrambling looking for someone or something to blame, but the simple answer is just wasn’t our season. We had too many mental errors, too many injuries, and too many distractions. I am no longer looking for someone or something to blame, I am jsut going to chalk it up as a loss, and hope we learned from last years mistakes. Playing the blame game does us no good. The media is feeding on this..

I know Marion Barber is a good rb, a short yardage beast, a good blocking RB, with good hands, and will be a Cowboy for years to come, but after watching him last year I am not as impressed as have been in years past. So, I decided since we have 9 months until meaningful cowboy football will be played, to make a list of RB’s I rank ahead of Marion Barber and would trade Marion straight across for.

1. 1.Adrian Peterson
2. 2.Michael Turner
3. 3.DeAngelo Williams
4. 4.Brian Westbrook
5. 5.Matt Forte
6. 6.B. Jacobs
7. 7.M. Lynch
8. 8.S. Jackson
9. 9.F. Gore
10. 10.C. Portis
11. 11.R. Brown
12. 12.J. Stewart
13. 13.MJD

I rate MB3 as a top 15 RB, above average.  Your thoughts?
