The cornering of Jerry Jones

[erod]

Is there any bigger beating than hearing the age-old, dead-horse-beating comment, "Jerry the owner needs to fire Jerry the GM." It just sucks the life force out of us all because we know how pointless it is to even discuss.

Instead, I just rail on the guy here, there, and everywhere, hoping against all hope. I utterly detest him for what he's done to this franchise, both in image and display, and I hate that I spend so much time hating what Jerry and his fantasy football team do over and over and over.

Mostly, I hate that I keep coming back for more out of some romantic connection with a past long since gone.

Or is it?

Something is happening, though I'm not sure exactly what. Last week, a very audible chant broke out in the stadium..."NO MORE JER-RY". This, after the loudest boos ever heard at Cowboys Stadium when Jerry's face was on the big screen for Breast Cancer Awareness month. The local airwaves have a vitriole and a seething bite that I've never heard around here. 50/50 is now 95/5, and not in a good way for Jerry.

The anti-Jerry sentiment has exponentially grown to a point now that I don't think can be undone with any amount of success. You can sense that even the players, coaches, and Jerry's FAMILY are caught up in it, and more importantly, tired of being a part of it.

I'd bet dollars to donuts that Romo wishes he could move on to another team. Same for much of the team, and the same for the coaches, who wallow in Jerry's muddy shadow all day every day. The luster of the star is gone, and the trouble is no longer worth the former "honor" of wearing it.

Nope, Dallas ain't the Glory Hole it once was.

This has to be wearing on Jerry. TV and radio ratings are sharply down. Attendance is starting to dwindle, and those who are there are largely rooting for the other team. The shine of the new stadium is worn off. Kids around town couldn't care less about the team. Even kicking the Cowboys is getting boring for the rivals.

The brand is just dead. Same players year after year. Same coaches. Same imbecile running it all. The offense is futile, while the defense wilts weekly on queue. You can copy-and-paste seasons from the past decade randomly, and nothing looks any different. What's the difference between 2003, 2009, and 2012? Heck if I know.

But there seemingly is nowhere left for Jerry to turn. He has to do something, but what? Another ho-hum coach? Another cool wide receiver? Play Kyle Orton and get a couple draft picks for Romo?

Truth is, there's nothing left for Jerry the GM to do that will change anything. Apathy is out of control. Even those that still care aren't mustering the same angst they once did. Shrugging indifference about the Cowboys never seemed possible, but apparently it is.

So what next? How's Jerry the Salesman going to sell this pig yet again? Even if the roster improves and the team is better next year, isn't the malignancy of Jerry and the past decade too advanced for 10-6 to cure?

Surely, Jerry must know that there's only one facelift that will fix this, and it won't be another one for his mug. The damage is finally and completely done. Jerry has managed to tear down the Roman Empire of the NFL and reduce it to rubble's rubble. All that's left is for others to dance on its grave.

The man is cornered. No way out. Unless he does the unthinkable.

Step down, Jerry. If not for you and us, for your kids' sake. Let us all learn to love you again.

He's not going to step down.

What JJ needs to do is invest heavily in the OL, re-sign Spencer, and get 1 more guy who can rush the passer.

Let us not forget replacing a safety, any safety, with a playmaker would do wonders for this team. I like McCray's hustle but does he really belong on a NFL team as a safety? Even Bill Bates was better in coverage and he was not that quick or fast.

Then why resign Spencer if he's going to get a pass rusher?

Oh SNAP...!

The "realist/haters" have enabled Jerry Jones more than the "homers" ever could.

They have turned him into this cartoon villain like persona.

He is the Vince McMahon or JR Ewing of the NFL.

Article after article saying he should step down as GM are followed by commercial after commercial of him selling Pizza or Pepsi or Chicken Wings.

Fans start entire websites devoted to getting rid of him and they are greeted by episodes of Dallas and Entourage staring Jerry Jones the villain they created.

The only way they will get what they want is for them to stop watching Cowboy games and stop all internet activities related to the Cowboys.

But we all know they will just continue to enable the Villain Jerry Jones ...... and he will continue to get richer and richer.

Its like a script.

The thing about the Cowboys is what everyone knows. You either love them or hate them, their is no in-between.

When the Cowboys are good, the love of the fans come out. When the Cowboys lose, the hate of them come out also.

That is why the TV ratings have been high when the Cowboys are on...the lovers watch to see if the win, and the haters tune hoping to see them lose. It's a win win situation for the Cowboys, money wise.

For example, I watch ever Cowboy game that is ever on, win or lose. I love it when they win, but will never leave them.

I also like to watch other teams play like the Packers (just because I think Rodgers is a class act), but if they win, blah...if they lose, blah...no sweat off me.

So, in that regard...Jerry might be feeling the heat, but the money is still coming in.

Someone said that the booed Jerry and Garret and whoever else when they came on the big screen. However, guess what...they were at the game.

And, if someone says that's because they already paid good money for seats, if it's all that bad, hey, then they should just look at it as a bad investment and stay home to let Jerry see all the empty seats...but you know what? They won't.

And, all over America, the haters will tune in just hoping like hell the Cowboys lose.

you have greatly over-exagerated the demise of this franchise.

Please, it's not rubble yet. Now another season of Garrett, and it might be.

All Jerry has to do is hire Payton and we'll be as popular as ever. Jerry might even be loved at that point.

It's funny to me when people talk about us sucking for 15 years, or a decade, or whatever. Doesn't anyone record games and re-watch them anymore? Go look at the 2009 playoff game -- Jerryworld was rocking. And that wasn't even three short years ago.
