I don’t get how anyone could unless McCarthy doesn’t want him. This organization wanted him for cheap and now he’s there.
cheap, available. but is he going to come in and fit with the team or is he going to come in and mess up the chemistry they are trying to build?

its not a deluded fan base. its what Jerry has always done, I don't need to give you the list (If I have to enumerate his meddlings, then you must be a new fan). and it always starts with contradicting his coaches. has he brought in ET yet? no, but the reports are there were meetings, the coaches said they like the talent they have. so media reported cowboys aren't interested, to which jerry responded, that's not true we never said that (undermining his coaches).

its not an agenda. its been 25 years of jerry meddling that's led us to under achieve like no other team in the league. facts are facts. defend jerry all you want. his history of meddling speaks for itself. so just call me once beaten twice shy (more like 100 times beaten, I am sore and tired and in pain).....
Definitely not a new fan. At all. And trust me I hear you. But until you see Earl sign with us. All Jerry did was keep us in the headlines.

"There" doesn't necessarily mean "cheap".

The guy managed to screw up a sweetheart deal with the Ravens that was paying him $14 million a year.

And his head doesn't seem to be in a good place lately.

So it's possible that he still thinks he's worth a lot of money and hasn't yet come to grips with the fact that he isn't.

The more time goes on, the less attractive he seems to be.

When Mike is the one signing the contracts then this fantasy of yours might begin to sniff reality. If Jerry wants it, Mike will make do as best he can. I do think Jerry is just doing his media posturing routine. Just like with the Manziel nonsense that people seem to believe was real.
That is how T.O. got onto a Bill Parcells coached Team. That's why Bill Parcells left a Super Bowl talent contending team. Jerry Jones, as his wife said, "can't leave well enough alone".

Parcells has already said this wasn’t true and had nothing but rave reviews of the Jones family. Some people just make up stuff I swear lol

Where's Calvin Hill? I thought he used to be the designated babysitter.

exactly...that's what jerry does. he wants the team to be in the headlines. jerry at heart is a salesman, a marketer and he has made cowboys the most valuable franchise, without winning squat and fielding below average teams half the time....

being in the headlines doesn't equal championship. its not winning. its distractions to the team and the rest of the organization.

thats one thing we need to acknowledge about Jerry..HE will listen and he craves a multitude of opinions. So when he pulls the trigger,he knows fully what the risks are. That said, I think ET will ride the pine at home until a team gets really desperate come week 4 or 5.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who isn't mesmerized by "OMG, Earl Thomas!" and see what he is NOW, rather than the great player he was in the past.

He suckered the Ravens into giving him the payday some here wanted to give him. Heck, some wanted to send Seattle a high draft pick for the privilege. :muttley:

its been a couple days, and no one has even hinted at signing him. Its crickets. Thats pause for concern.

NFL teams see a 30-something guy with declining skills and an attitude problem.

Fanboys here thought there was going to be a bidding war for his services. :muttley:

Who cares about alleged "rave reviews for the Jones family" unless you're part of the Jones family?

The Jones family has been stumbling and bumbling for 25 years. No NFL team would hire the Jones family to run the show, other than the team owned by the Jones family.
