Newman thinks there’s plenty of blame for 2011 Cowboys

The Cowboys dumped cornerback Terence Newman this week. Newman, whom many thought would be cut before the 2011 season, has received plenty of blame for the team’s struggles last season.

He thinks the blame should go more broadly than that.

“I didn’t play well down the stretch but I think we also didn’t play well down the stretch. Great teams know the blame is on everyone and accept that,” Newman told WFAA, via the Dallas Morning News. “In spite of the criticism I endured, we endured, we still could have put a lot of things together.”

Newman specifically pointed to the Patriots as a team that thrived despite having a bad secondary.

So, basically, Newman thinks that if the rest of the team were a lot better, it would make up for the fact that he wasn’t good enough.

That’s not exactly the best way for Newman to say hello to the free-agent market.

He's an idiot and will always be an idiot. That's why he was 25 years old when we drafted him. He just couldn't learn a damn thing.

Newman's always been an overpaid, over-valued, ridiculously entitled, no-account turd. One truly awesome season in 2005 and a complete shit before and after. Always had everything handed to him and rarely if ever stepped up in big games. One time the guy saves our butts against the Bills in 2007, and outside of that gave up big play after big play.

He had that pick six to wrap up the Carolina game in... 2009? :confused

Also had a three interception game against the Redskins his rookie year.

But yeah, aside from that... meh.
