Jerry Jones Bashing is ridiculous

It's essentially whack-a-mole GM'ing.

I don't think the front-office has done a good job overall.

.........and don't forget the HORRIBLE deals given to Jrat and Free: NO OTHER GM in football would be so STUPID as to think of those deals. Throw in Austin for good measure and it's just well below average. Al Davis Jr isn't going anywhere for 1 reason: he owns the team. Lemming like the poster that started this thread don't help at all. To give JJ a pass as GM is beyond MORONIC.

As much as I hated the Cowboys back in the 90's, Jimmy was the man responsible for that Cowboys team getting built. You can't deny that.

Jimmy walked out nobody forced him out. He thought he was this genius. But what he found out was Jerrys money made him look good.

......the foreskins defense that was missing Orakpo? One of it's best players and they had others nicked too; but they found a way to win 10 with a rookie QB...excuses.....and more excuses....

Yep that's what I saw.

The only thing making them look bad was there were more people rushing then we could account for and all of our receivers were running 20 yard routes trying to get open.

Romo was protected about as good as you could ever expect him to be.

...we're talking about and the fact Jimmy drafted 90% of our core players with the notable exception of Troy and Michael: both lines were put together by him and Al JR. was a spectator: fact. What has Al Jr. done since? Absolutely NOTHING : also a fact

[Hoofbite]

No he is bad.

Any GM with an ounce of sense would have fixed the OL, end of story.

The difference between Jerry at the beginning of the 2000s to right now is simple.

Jerry back then would ignore team needs to pick players like Quincy Carter and his merry men. Basically picking hot garbage on top of ignoring team needs.

Jerry now ignores team needs but it seems like he's at least picking guys who are quality NFL starters.

Pretty much the same guy. No real idea on how to run a team but it seems like whichever person is whispering in his ear regarding talent is much improved over the same chronie that was doing it back then.

He walked out as a direct result of Jerry's ego and undermining selfish actions.

I'm glad somebody gets it, even if you're not a Cowboys fan.

I think I posted in another thread. Jimmy has any many playoff appearances and victories from his time in Miami as Dallas has since the time Jimmy left.

Hell, it might be more.

That's how Jimmy did. 4 years versus 17 years.

Who was the GM when it was decided Bernadeau and Livings would fix the OL?

[BoysFan4ever]

I cannot believe that anyone would think Jerry was more responsible for the great teams than Jimmy..
