Staubach: Too much for Jerry Jones

It needs to be a constant rallying cry so that he spends a portion of each day dealing with it.

Will it make a difference? I don't know but that's not the point. You boo and hate Redskins, Giants and Eagles for being our on field rival. For trying to prevent us from getting back on top. Surely the guy who single-handedly destroyed this team and keeps them down for his own ego deserves the same type of treatment. He's done more damage than any rival ever has.

[View Full Quote]For years nobody ever wanted to ask Jerry about this. Then when they did, he'd spout off this my role has never changed nonsense and was allowed to get away with it. Nobody ever offered a rebuttal. Oh, he's getting mad....better drop this line of questioning. It's good to see some progress in this area. Hold his feet to the flame. We've had enough of his nonsense. We see through his con. The team's hurting, Jer....and your usual BS won't cut it this time.

hope the story never dies, I love seeing him squirm

"no way that I would be involved here and not be the final decision-maker on something as important as players. ... It's been a debated thing, but it's just not going to happen."

I hate Jerry Jones with a bloody passion but this would apply whomever owned the team. I'd do the same and so would everyone here if they owned the team.

I don't think the problem is him signing off on every decision as long as its from an ownership and financial standpoint and not him playing fantasy football

Is this again all from reading media reports? Let me guess.....Rodger has some great friends still on the team.......after how many years being retired?

Once again ....its a opinion from a former player looking in....probably reading the same mediot crap we have for years.

I love how former players state a opinion when they have no real proof on how much Jerry delegates or not. I dont think Rodger has ever been in Jerry meetings with coaches and scouts.....or in a war room during the draft...etc...

The hate for Jerry is just too funny......must be jump on Jerry week.......Next week...Romo?

Please put down the Jerry Kool-aid.

I'm actually pleased with the fan shift in this area. Because I know how hard it is to love your team and admit the guy running it is a cancer. I think your first reaction is to always look to the positive and why what we're stuck can work. But as some point you have to be realistic about it.

turn into the next Al Davis? A guy who just didn't know when it was time to let go of the reigns?

None of it is changing until the Jones family no longer owns the Cowboys..


Which, ain't happening soon...

Exactly, and what needs to be done.

Until then, the revenue enables him to deliver a bad product, like GM did for years until the public finally had enough.


Seriously, I'd like the local neighbor Dr. Phil (or another professional with his qualifications) to explain ego...ego has JJ over-controlling the team, but wouldn't most egos years ago delegate football operations so the owner would be seen as part of the success rather than the curse?

As an oilman, JJ never tried to be head geologist, did he?

This is a powerful statement from Staubach, being diplomatic and slow to criticize.

Meh, Staubach was one of Landry's guys. Until Aikman, Emmitt and Irvin come out and call for Jones to step down, former player criticism won't mean much.

^ even so, it has clout.

Any of the Triplets speaking up would be sweet.

Roger is a very considerate person on all acounts, Staubach is not slighting Jones here, he's only stating the obvious.

Cowboys benching Romo is more important than Jerry Jones giving up his GM duties.

I don't see a team that is lacking in talent.Superbowl winning talent?Maybe not..

Playoff contending talent?The Cowboys have more than enough!

Jerry has done a good job as GM, the reason the laymans can't see it, is because of the trash at QB.

Jerry Jones is not the reason the Cowboys average 17.75ppg.

Jerry Jones is not the reason the Cowboys are 3-5.

Tony Romo is the cause of all of this...Ric Flair

What's your story going to be when Jerry gives Romo an extension?
