Marion Barber, III: Consistent, Hard Working, TOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Brad Johnson stepped in for injured Tony Romo, no one put him on blast for being inadequate. When Tony Romo failed to score from one yard out in a playoff game, no one put him on blast. When Demarcus Ware kept jumping off sides in the Tampa Bay game like a jack rabbit, no one put him on blast. Since Terrell Owens has been in a Dallas Cowboys uniform, no one, but the media has put him on blast. For all the stupid shit Adam Jones has done before and to date, no one, but the media has put him on blast. After throwing two interceptions, no one put Tony Romo on blast. Jason Whitten tried to defend him and insult our intelligence at the same time by indicating that somehow he was at fault. I don't know how he could say this when Tony Romo threw the ball in the Steelers' receiver's hands.

I say all this to say that if the Dallas Cowboys are still in the "playoff conversation", it is because of the consistent play and team work of Marion Barber, III. Marion is quiet, consistent, hard working and tough. If he was not in the game on Sunday, I believe it was because he was unable to be. To be singled out, scapegoated and put on blast by the owner and GM was thoughtless and cruel.

Marion Barber, III is the least of the Dallas Cowboys problems. First, Tony Romo is no Troy Aikman or Roger Staubach. Since week one, it has been difficult to distinguish the head coach from the support staff. The Dallas Cowboys have alot of good players who don't play well together. Again, Brad Johnson was an inadequate replacement for Tony Romo. The Cowboys should have taken a three week vacation if he was the best they had.

As Mr. Jones so eloquently put it, "I own the team, and I can't be fired." I say to Mr. Jones take responsibility for the team "you" put together. If anyone is to blame for the Dallas Cowboys' failure, it is you! You sir are smart, tough and to be respected. Take the necessary steps to return your team to glory whatever it takes. Remeber, you're the boss. Attitude is always reflective of leadership.
