I have no idea what team you're watching. I'll strongly disagree with you and leave it at that.

Who on that offense is a truly great player? I guess you could maybe make a case for Witten, but he's not a game changer.

Miles Austin is a pro bowler.

Vince Young went to a pro bowl. Would you classify him as a great player?

Then how many offenses really have great players? I'm not saying Dallas does, it depends what everyone's opinion is of 'great.'

I'm not anointing Austin great, but if by your definition he is not great, not many offense have great players then.

All of the elite SB contending teams do. Which Dallas is supposed to be.

When I think of a "great player" in terms of Offense, I usually think of someone who puts fear in the opposing Defense every time they come on the field. Like that one person that you NEED to keep an eye at ALL times and when I look at the Cowboys' Offense, I really don't see one either. But for their sake that MIGHT be a good thing because like it was mentioned, they have a group of very GOOD players on Offense and sometimes that enough right there to get it done.

I don't disagree, but other than the obvious, who do you consider great? Or is that just limited to Manning, Brady, Brees...etc. I know I only mentioned QBs...but I think the list of who we all consider greats would be pretty consistent.

Chris Johnson? Andre Johnson?

Is Ray Rice great? If not, Baltimore doesn't have any.

Rivers and/or Gates?

Basically, maybe the Cowboys don't have great players by your definition, but I know a lot of teams wouldn't mind having the offensive players we have.

I just can't fathom how we can move the ball up and down, not all game but enough to win, but can't punch it in. To me, that's more coaching, scheme, etc. Part of me wouldn't mind if Romo disregards the playcall and calls his own play, or does he? Never know.

I still stand behind the it's fixable group, it's fixable. The division doesn't seem as strong this year. If we lose next week though, I'll just go in hiding 'till next year.

And I don't completely disagree with you about drafting Bryant, (you mentioned it earlier) but I can't lie. I like him, a lot. Watching him play these last 2 games, he looks like he's going to pan out, big time.
