The fantasy season is over with, so let's get real.
The Cowboys don't need to rebuild. They need to rethink.
Rethink participating in an NFL draft and not drafting a quarterback.
Rethink that when it's third down, there is a really good chance the defense might blitz.
Rethink that when such blitzes happen, throw it to one of the best tight ends in football.
Rethink an offense that never uses bubble screens when you have two running backs who are really good at getting yards after the catch.
Rethink looking at game film so you look like you know what kind of defense you are up against.
In other news ...
I lost a bet that Robert Griffin III would get 30 total touchdowns this year. I had a lot of takers on that bet. He finished with 28. I knew he had some mojo, but more importantly, he walked into an offense designed to his strengths.
Russell Wilson, who did end up with 30 total touchdowns, was the 75th pick in the NFL Draft. He was picked after Brock Osweiler, Kirk Cousins and Nick Foles.
Alfred Morris wasn't picked for the Pro Bowl. Frank Gore was.
John Harbaugh is winning games with Michael Crabtree.
Sam Bradford is just the kind of quarterback who will win in Jeff Fisher's system once he gets a running game and wide receivers.
Two running backs averaged 6 yards a carry. Adrian Peterson and CJ Spiller.
