Default The Nonsense of Jerry Jones

I'm sorry... pro Garrett - anti Garrett, doesn't matter to me, but I just want to go on record (yet again - its therapeutic) that the real problem with this team is the clown GM we have.

Even now, the way this week has gone, is just ridiculous. If you are going to make a change, go make it already. If you aren't then give your team the best chance to succeed by not throwing a temper tantrum that will have no practical effect.

Stop with this in the middle, in-between, "gotta talk to my sources" garbage.

Do I like Garrett, yea. Do I really give a flip who coaches this team if we would be successful? Nope.

What I'm absolutely SICK of, however, is this proud franchise becoming a laughing stock joke while it is held captive by a certified narcissist who wants the whole world to know JERRY'S MAD.... WHOOOOOAAAA

There will be those who dutifully inform me that I don't have to watch/buy tickets/ keep up with the team/ etc etc etc.

Trouble is (and Jerry knows it) anyone who has grown up on the Cowboys and has followed the team for any time and with any loyalty will stick around.

So we're stuck.

Why talk about? It makes me feel better. There.

That's about how I feel, too! I don't like how the organization is being operated, but I've been a fan since 1968 when I was five years old. That won't change.

rcaldw, I agree 100%. And the real fans should and will continue to make noise. Make it shrill and persistent. Boo Jones to his face if possible.

I feel bad for the Cowboy fans who have given up and are sheep to whatever Jones does. That's not a real fan, IMO. (my opinion!)

That is what you do if you love the franchise: Shout, holler, and protest this egomaniacal nonsense...and never stop shouting.

Protest. All day long and twice on Sundays.

Think about it...the utter grossness! Jerry's actions are saying the following:
I, Jerry Jones am more important than 10 million Cowboy fans.
I, Jerry Jones am more important than 53 players.
I, Jerry Jones am more important than the coaches and staff.

Talk about a walking human cyst, full of puss. Talk about a gross human being!

Great post. I feel the same way myself and there is nothing I can do about it. Just have to hang in there and hope for the best, like the day Jerry is no longer in controll of this team.

We can only hope Stephen will be better and I think he will. Don't know why, but I think Stephen will be totally different from Jerry...
Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Honestly, I know you are probably right. But I cannot wait for the day that either Stephen is in control or the franchise changes hands. And what sets me off is here we are again. There is nothing but constant drama surrounding this team. And the ring leader is the guy who should be the man of reason.

With each passing year, I lose any faith that Stephen will be any better.

Reality is that Jerry is the owner and GM of this team. Unless your willing root for another team, there's a certain level of acceptance involved that's less than perfect obviously...

The notion of bringing in consultants or external football experts at this point should be applauded because IMO it signals that Jerry just might understand that he may need some help even while he maintains the GM title.

I'm sick of losing and I think Jerry is too.

That's fair, and you may be right. But maybe not. I was living in Chicago in 2005. At the time, the Blackhawks were a joke, often critcized as being the worst franchise in the four major sports. The owner at the time was a man named Bill Wirtz. He passed away in 2007, and his son Rocky took over. Started making changes immediately. Completely changed the culture of the team. Hired a new President, made some much needed marketing changes, became a lot more fan friendly, and oh, went out and picked up or drafted some really good players, too. Three years later, they won the cup.

Now, it wasn't all just him. They hired a new GM in 2004, who made some good moves. But Rocky is largely seen as the man oversaw a very rapid change from an awful franchise to a championship one.
There's always more to the story.

I agree completely with the OP. I'm trying to be optimistic about it, though. It's not that we can't win with JJ. It's that we need a very specific kind of coach. Hopefully, that's Garrett.

It bares repeating until it changes.
