Maybe so but it eludes me.Didn't Garrett also win a game with McGee?

Maybe so but it eludes me. He won a preseason game.Didn't Garrett also win a game with McGee?
He was the head coach.I am referencing Garretts record and what jmech may have been getting at with backups. Possibly he was counting the 0/8 with backups when Garrett was head coach.
And anyone who actually watched knew what a farce that game was.McGee beat the Eagles in his first career start, 14-13.
And? The question wasn't if he has ever looked like a HOFer. It was if he ever was the QB during a game we won.And anyone who actually watched knew what a farce that game was.
The robot will need to grow balls soon.The bottom line is Garrett is going to have to step outside his comfort zone if he wants to pull out a win while Romo is out.
I'm not advocating for him to coach aggressively/recklessly from start to finish but there will certainly be points in the game where he needs to cast conventional wisdom to the side in order to steal some points or possessions.
Kind of like we saw with Mike Tomlin and the Steelers a few weeks ago when they allowed Leveon Bell to run it in for a score on the final play of the game rather than settling for a FG attempt.
Garrett is going to have to roll the dice some as well. Maybe not to the degree of the Tomlin example but instead of punting or attempting a FG on 4th and 1 in plus territory, go for it to see if you can keep the drive alive. Instead of always trying to pound it up the middle on 3rd and short, run a little play-action to see if you can catch the defense off-guard. Etc.
They absolutely will. Playing safe with a hampered team is a solid recipe foe getting a whipping.The robot will need to grow balls soon.
Teams that play it safe like he does will get their asses handed to them nine times out of ten.
So you're forgetting the performances they got out of Quinn?Garrett's system relies on a QB with Romo's skills.
It is a high-risk, high-reward system.
Even when dumbed down and leaning on the run, backups have a hard time making this system work because they lack deep (15-25 yard) accuracy.
Forget the McGee game vs Philly backups, Kitna was able to get it going for a few games thanks to taking shots downfield and some heroic play from Dez Bryant.
It's not Garrett, but a system that does not adjust well when you downgrade the QB's and lead WR's skills.
You'd find a similar problem in Green Bay if Rodgers went out along with Nelson.
Denver's offense OTOH might not be impacted at all.
It has nothing to do with Kubiak's skills over Garrett's as coaches, but rather their choice of offensive systems.
It's similar to the system Norv and Jimmy ran. It hasn't been as successful in their other stops either.I don't think this system is high risk high reward. I think it's antiquated and needs a huge amount of talent to win matchups and an Elite QB to find them.
Exactly, it's a 90s offense. The only wrinkle is Callahan added a more modern rushing attack.It's similar to the system Norv and Jimmy ran. It hasn't been as successful in their other stops either.
I'm guessing you mean Matt Flynn, and I thought he barely won one game with them in like his whole career with them.So you're forgetting the performances they got out of Quinn?
You're right and it takes talent because the QB is continually making risky throws into tight windows.I think it's antiquated and needs a huge amount of talent to win matchups and an Elite QB to find them.
Flynn, yes, got him mixed up with that third stringer who hung around here for a few years. His record as a starter in GB was 3-2 with 13 TDs and 6 INTs. If our backup could do that we'd be leading the division.I'm guessing you mean Matt Flynn, and I thought he barely won one game with them in like his whole career with them.
When Rodgers went down in 2013 they had serious problems behind Wallace and Flynn. Sure they beat Dallas, but that was all on Garrett.
One of those games was a no pressure game with the playoffs clinched. The two victories in relief were each by a point.Flynn, yes, got him mixed up with that third stringer who hung around here for a few years.

He still played a lot better than Weeden.One of those games was a no pressure game with the playoffs clinched. The two victories in relief were each by a point.
Basically the team went from dominant to iffy very fast once Rodgers cracked his collar bone. They also had Eddie Lacy and Jason Garrett in fuck-up-sure-win-by-continually-passing mode while we have d-Mac and have faced Payton, Coughlin, Belichick, and Carroll-- all former Super Bowl winners.
