Kinda hard for anyone to take a leadership role when the owner is constantly second-guessing every decision and reminding everyone that HE’s the one running the show.

The Cowboys have plenty of leadership; it’s just leading them in the wrong direction.
________________________________

But on the other side of the coin.....with an owner this soft on his players, SOMEONE could &quot;take over&quot; this team.....Sean Lee is the guy who will one day do that, I think.

I completely understand where you&#039;re coming from, but if just one player could rise above that, they might actually have something.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m tired of this lame excuse.  Lets blame it on leadership.  Hey Hatcher i don&#039;t see you stepping up.  How about you and the defense play better.  Oh i forgot thats Tony&#039;s, Jasons&#039;, or whom ever you can blame to deflect your sorry a## defensive play.  How about for once someone stand up and say this team is not that talented especially on defense. You and every other guy on this team just want to keep you high paying jobs by making excuses.  What talent?  Quit living on 13 and 3 against a last place schedule, which now you could only muster 8 and 8 against a last place schedule. Go sack groceries dude,  maybe you will be better at that.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well one, I think Hatcher&#039;s talking largely about defense. And that&#039;s fair. Sean Lee might be able to be that leader, but this was his first real year as a starter. Lots of the older guys are on the way out, and I expect they boot most of the secondary and maybe ever Spencer. Kind of hard to have a strong leader on defense when you&#039;re busy jettisoning all your players. Ware&#039;s great, but he has a quiet kickass style.]]></description>

@bobhk

Say what you Want about THE SECOND RATED PASSER IN NFL HISTORY

I Guess you think Eli is better than Marino because of his two rings?

And The cowboys beat the Eagles twice in 09 to clinch a playoff spot and eliminate the eagles in the wild card playoffs

the cowboys have consistenly had a top 10 offense year in and year out

And I have not logged in to espn in years, I don’t need a media bias group of people adjust MY opinions like yourself

Your opinions are just like that of ESPN the flavor of the month type

 -----------------
@theyknowtheyknowtheyknow

You are so funny man.

I&#039;m sure as a cowboys fan you must be enjoying seeing Eli lead his team to two superbowl victories while romo enjoys his great passer ratings. Didn&#039;t know that the game was about higher passer ratings. I thought it was about winning the big game. It&#039;s all about leadership and romo ain&#039;t got any. Ask hatcher.

It&#039;s so funny that you tell me to check out mosleys comments on espn above and then say you don&#039;t care about it. Do have any consistency man?

Love the fact that you put romo in the company of Marino and Peyton. Romo is also ahead of Montana in passer rating. Let&#039;s just say that romo is the greatest then.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a Cowboys fan.....

A few thoughts about Hatcher&#039;s comments......

1) No argument.....Romo has to step up. NOW. He knows he&#039;s the second-luckiest human being who ever lived outside Ringo Starr, but he has to deliver or it&#039;s time to look at trading up in a draft this year or next. 

But I&#039;m sure &quot;Jerruh&quot; doesn&#039;t read this and likely not Ringo. So perhaps this post won&#039;t be banned?

2) When a guy says stuff like this, then HE should be stepping up a little more often.

3) By 2013, or maybe even this year....this will be Sean Lee&#039;s team. Then things will change.

4) Hatcher is right they need a true leader and not some buffoon like Brooking wailing and yelling like a complete doofus on national TV.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[lol, why are you all saying that it should be Romo?? Hatcher, is talking about a leader on defence. that means, a guy that plays defence. 

every Cowboys fan knows that Romo is an leader on offence.. but again, because of all the Cowboys hate people are saying that he  is not a leader, not clutch, and just sucks... try and watch the games instead of just hate.

and by the way, this defence does not need a leader as much as it needs talent in the DB possitions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A team&#039;s quarterback is allegedly the team leader. Listening to Giants players saying they had complete confidence in Eli Manning showed that&#039;s the case with some teams. Tony Romo is not that guy for Dallas. I enjoy Cowboys fan and Cowboys player when they say the team needs some leaders. I laugh even more when Cowboys myopic  (i.e., media fanboys) say &quot;all Romo needs is a little more time to develop...&quot;

How much more time is needed, Cowboys homer? Vince Young got run out of Tennessee. Brady Quinn got run out of Cleveland. Matt Leinert got run out of Arizona. John Beck got run out (if he was ever in) of Miami. A number of NFL quarterbacks have come and gone since Romo got his first start. Heck, Mark Sanchez is under heavy fire and he advanced his team in the playoffs his first two seasons. Tony Romo would have been run out of town long ago if he played for a New York, Boston or Phily team.

Romo&#039;s a stat machine and the fantasy players love him. His 149 TD&#039;s and 72 INTs rate favorably to Troy Aikman&#039;s 165 TD&#039;s and 141 INT&#039;s. Proof once again that stats don&#039;t mean a damn thing compared to wins, losses and performance at winning time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This could only mean one thing .... It is time for the all-talented Jerry Jones to take his egomaniacal need for attention and total control to the next logical level. Jerry should don a uniform and get out on the field and show those young guys how it&#039;s supposed to be done. As the NFL&#039;s first owner/player/coach, there will be no remaining doubt as to who is the team leader ... er team &quot;dear leader.&quot;

As ridiculous as it may sound, I believe old Jerry can be as good a player as he&#039;s been a General Manager. It&#039;s &quot;go time.&quot; Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum!]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This could only mean one thing &#8230;. It is time for the all-talented Jerry Jones to take his egomaniacal need for attention and total control to the next logical level. Jerry should don a uniform and get out on the field and show those young guys how it&#8217;s supposed to be done.

Eli can be a great quarterback, I’m not taking that away from him.

But if you honestly think that weak/goofy guy is the “vocal leader” of The giants…that’s pretty funny
-------------------------------
Ask &lt;b&gt;any&lt;/b&gt; Giants player what happens in the locker room when Eli addresses the team, rare as it may happen.

Answer:  you hear no one but Eli.

In that regard, Eli is much like Giants owners Wellington and John Mara... not much to say, but when he does speak, everyone listens carefully.]]></description>

You can laugh all you want. But the way I see it is that Eli has two rings and two super bowl MVPs. That&#039;s two more than romo. You can&#039;t always pass the buck when your team loses. Eli was very instrumental in those wins. 

Ever think why the D gave up all the points. I remember the season ending loss against Philly with playoffs at stake. Romo got nothing going.
Romo is not a clutch QB no matter how you paint it.

Mosley&#039;s opinion is just that: opinion. Mosley has left ESPN BTW. When was the last time you logged into ESPN. 

I think it&#039;s very telling that Jones thinks the difference between cowboys and giants was Eli.

BTW, I doubled over laughing when you compared romo to Peyton. They don&#039;t belong in the same sentence.]]></description>

Tony has faced elimination before...in the majority of those games the defense surrendered more thAn 30 points. If you think Tony is what&#039;s wrong with the cowboys, you might want to log onto espn next time they have a chat with Matt moseley and learn something

A QB is a leader of the team (or supposed to be). When it comes to mement of truth romo has not stepped up.

He can&#039;t hide behind the TEAM thing. If he&#039;s a leader there are higher standards than anyone else. Besides romo has had good/decent teams.

A leader of a team is supposed to lead his team into the playoffs. The buck stops with him. After all both romo and Eli faced elimination at the end of regular season. Who came through?

Football is a TEAM sport...no one quarterback has carried the team on his back. Even when they&#039;re defense was terrible (colts/saints) they stepped up and made opportunistic plays...look at the saints this year against the niners and last year against the Seahawks...that doesn&#039;t take anything away from Brees.

If playoff success is what we measure players on, then would you say that Chase Blackburn is a better LB than London Fletcher???

Afterall, Blackburn has 3 playoff wins and a superbowl ring, let&#039;s just ignore the other stuff....]]></description>
