Regular season grades for every NFL team

If you want an idea of how to poorly run a professional football team, Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys can give you the master class. As it turns out, having competent backup quarterbacks behind your often banged up 36-year-old quarterback is really helpful once said 36-year-old quarterback breaks his clavicle twice. As it turns out, the best offensive line in the NFL doesn’t matter all that much with replacement-level talent at running back and a quarterback who can’t complete a pass for more than eight yards.

There’s no denying the fact that the injuries to Tony Romo and Dez Bryant absolutely decimated the Cowboys and dismantled any hope that they had of competing in the NFC East in the 2015 regular season. That being said, those injuries only revealed the structural problems throughout the organization where they’ve whiffed on draft picks, failed to build a cohesive defense, and not adequately put enough weapons in the offense outside of the top guys on the roster.

Then you throw in the saga surrounding the Greg Hardy signing and his antics once he got onto the field for Dallas and the season only gets worse looking back. It was utter and complete failure in Dallas, injuries or not.
