This post might make sense if I were saying not to change anything. As it is, though, it doesn't make sense since that's clearly not what I'm saying.

Watch the thinly veiled personal insults, please.

What needs to be adressed won't and that is a change of GM. You can have Vince Lomadardi reincarnated and it won't matter if players like Doug Free or Mike Jenkins are allowed to see the field. Jerry has been undermining the head coach's authority for so long that he now thinks that's is the way is always been done and should be. The culture will remain the same if the Owner/GM/Walkaround Coach remains intact.

True, but vince Lombardi wouldn't ice his own kicker, or play for a 50 plus yard fg, or any of the other brainfarts that priceton has made.

It's all part of the zero accountability culture. Players not linning up correctly, arguing with the refs, getting flagged for dumb penalties, not picking up a blitz as if they hadn't practice all week, missing practice with a headache and on and on IS the team's culture.

Things got done more or less the right way when Jimmy was here and, to a lesser extent, with Parcells. It can happen again. Jerry won't step down but hiring a real coach with personnel savy would be a big improvement over what we currently have going.

Jerry wasn't calling the shots personel wise with neither of those guys. We have management by committee now and it shows since nobody is responsible for anything anymore.

Yes, but that doesn't mean that Jerry cannot revert back to the Johnson-Parcells model after he hires a real coach. What we do know is that it won't change while JG is coach...

I agree with what was written in the Star-Telegram this week...Jerry will lose patience this season because this would be 3 missed playoff years straight. Last time that happened we saw Parcells. Why be patient with things that aren't working? It's not like we are seeing brilliance in the making. The team starts slow, commits dumb mistakes and isn't prepared on a week to week basis. At some point you have to get back to what being the Dallas Cowboys meant in the 70s, part of the 80s and the 90s..expecting excellence. Right now some fans expect mediocrity and that in turn leads to apathy when things don't change. There has to be a structure shift and we all know Jerry won't fire himself and there are attractive candidates out there.

I'm not sure a change of GM is going to fix things, either frankly. Though I don't spend much time worrying about things that won't happen. I'm looking forward to Stephen taking over in that capacity eventually.

I feel like a broken record, but what I want to see addressed is the turnover problem. If that's coaching, or the QB, or the design of the offense and the design of the defense. Whatever it takes, it's got to be addressed, and for good. I wish I had a better handle on what causes it, though. Some of it's the WR adjustments, but that's been cleaned up recently. Some of it's the pressure from our OTs. That's a personnel problem. Some of it gets helped by more defensive pressure and better S play. But it seems like it's a different combination of problems each season that ends up biting us. The HC has to fix it, and this season he's made zero progress in that regard.

the point is that you are just attempting to distract from the main problems with the team (jason and jerry) and recommending window dressing which will not make any tangible difference

it is pretty funny that you took being called intelligent as an insult
