Here’s the words from one of our biggest Jethro fans who apparently believes he is still good for Cowboys football .

“ It’s not time for Jerry to go because we’re not going 3-13. The organization hasn’t hit rock bottom ..”

Jerry hired the coach that built those teams and signed off on all the trades and moves they made or they wouldn’t have happened. You don’t think he deserves any credit?
Only to the extent that he signed off. Consider this - When GM Pat Williams had an opportunity to acquire Halll-of-Fame basketball legend Julius Erving the owner who signed off on the deal Fitz Dixon first asked this of his GM:

"Who is Julius Erving?"

Signing off on the GM s decisions and being actively part of them is not one and the same.

Yea, I really feel for this generation of fans. At least us old farts have some history of golden years to hang our hats on.

It has to be somewhat like those early years in the 60’s before we won anything. Except we had one of the most respectably ran football franchise in place.
It's this generation ofans the Joneses he really screwed but really the screwing began three decades ago when Jerrah drove Jimmy outa and decided he could do just as well, something he is still trying- and failing - to prove thirty years later.

Anyone who didn’t know who Julius Erving was doesn’t follow basketball or sports. Jerry followed football and played college football. I wouldn’t be lumping Jerry in with Dixon.

Full credit. He's the GM, he gets credit for all of it. If he hired the right coaches now and got out of the way, full credit.

He puts all his time into a being a GM but he’s not a good GM. There’s a lot of GM’s that fail and it’s not because they don’t have the willingness to dedicate the time to it.
He does not put his time into it and has stated as such.

Not once have I ever heard him state or seen a quote where he doesn’t put the time into it. That’s BS!

He stated that he does not take the time to watch tape of possible draftees.

Hey, I'm not the one into the silly exclamations. That's for the other posters who are not here to discuss.

Watching the tape is for his coaches and personnel people. Jerry wears a lot of hats and has a lot on his plate but he puts a lot of time into being a GM because that’s what he does 365 days a year.

Man, you have not been paying attention. Jerry is not a dedicated GM and everyone knows it. He gets to insert his bad input merely because he owns the team, he is not good at it and has not earned it. Your idea of Jerry and his ways is purely incorrect.

You sound like a typical armchair fan. Some of you think you’ve got it all figured out. Lol

Feb 25th 1989 I still so vividly recall watching on WFAA local Channel 8. The day everything changed in Cowboys history.

“In the last three decades the Cowboys have returned to the top of the National Football League as the shiniest star of the bunch for marketing purposes. Early on in Jerry’s ownership, they also returned to the top of the league from a competition standpoint as they won three Super Bowls in the first seven years, but ever since then things have been tough sledding.

There is no denying the financial impact that Jerry Jones has had on the Dallas Cowboys, surrounding DFW areas, and even the NFL as a whole. He is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as an owner. His work on issues outside of the field helped him get there, like the influence he had in returning the league to Los Angeles where the hometown Rams just won the Super Bowl. The Rams played that game in the very palace that was built for them, one that was no doubt inspired by Jerry’s luxurious AT&T Stadium.

All of that is great and notable and makes for interesting books and documentaries. Unfortunately, the thing that matters to most fans is the success of the team on the field, and everything else has started to become frustrating as the team hasn’t appeared in a conference championship game in 26 years.

Think about that. The first seven years with Jerry at the helm as owner, general manager, and president were tons of success. But in the 26 years since, 79% of Jerry’s ownership, have been frustration, drama, and some success, but more of the first two.“

Signing the Ten Toe Mediocre Sloth formally known as Dak Prescot to that outrageous contract that he will never be able to live up to, not with his extra small shoulders. JJ and Co thought they were getting a stud with huge shoulders to carry this team and all they got for their $160 million was fool's gold!

No, he does not put all his time into being GM. He plays the GM role when it serves his purpose.
