Why does Jerry and his son think they are NFL GM’s

[ESisback]

No, not at all. But the entitlement as Cowboys fans always rears its head.

We can't be like Browns, Lions and Washinton fans. And now we're not even like Bengals fans.

Can you imagine what this would like if it had been around in Danny White's time?

Not really. People violently overreact to EVERYTHING nowdays!

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

We are NOT along side Texas, Lions, Jags or Browns! We don’t have SB’s in the last 26 years, so entitled fans are mad they can’t brag at the water cooler. But, we have several things those other teams don’t:
1)Ratings
2)Franchise value
3)Regular season winning percentage
4)More division titles
5)An owner with a yellow jacket
6)Best nickname, stadium, uniforms and heritage

They’re not Lombardi’s, but it’s more than they have, and NO, that DOESN’T mean I’m fulfilled by “mediocrity”. Those are just facts. All fans can do is speculate and hope.

my point was not about HISTORY of cowboys, but the past 26 years.....in terms of success we are about the same with those franchises. and its even worse considering our franchise value is double/triple some of them.

who cares about division titles, regular season winnings. its all about post season.

sorry, we have sucked over past 26 years, specially considering how much money thi franchise brings in relative to a team like Jags or Detroit.

what you listed about, makes me feel like you work for Jerry in the marketing office. Jerry is going cha-ching....those are selling points on a brochure.

1, 2, 5 and 6, do those really matter to a fan? And 6 is arguable, I would say the Patriots and Steelers fans like their nickname, uniforms and heritage.

Salary cap was also implemented. So they had a lot of highly paid players for that time, as they were given new deals after the SB win. That started then behind from the start. And then Jerry gave out even bigger deals, such as Deion.

Plus the better players moved on for bigger pay checks.
It was a combination of things that got them behind. Especially when the triplets were gone.

Fans with an agenda say it was all Jimmy. It wasn’t. It was a lot of good fortune that came together.
Jimmy could not repeat it in Miami.

But too many fans holds those lean years against them. Did any fan truly think they were going to be contenders after they were all gone. They did put together some good teams later on, 2007, 2009, I think it was, then Jerry screwed it up with hiring Garrett.

True it has been 26 years, but it really has been 12 to 15, and 10 wasted with Garrett. Other than 2014 and 2016.

lack of a salary cap had nothing to do with those Super Bowls. 19th ranked team salary in 92, 26th in 93. It’s been 27 years of the most moronic decisions possible. If Jerry was capable, we would’ve caught a glimpse of it by now. The guys a complete clown and people still defend it while crapping all over a HC who lived and breathed football and prepared the team. Jerry’s a POS. Listen to Jimmy talk football. Then listen to the GM. lol

Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable franchise in the world and it has happened over the last 30 years. Before Jerry, the Cowboys were going broke and Clint Murchison was looking for any buyer to take the team off his hands. Jerry does just enough to keep his team in the media and the suckers buying box seats and jerseys. The man is a marketing Genius.

he is absolutely a marketing genius. he is a great sales person. great businessman. that's the problem though, when Jerry the GM is at a cross roads, then Jerry the owner (and now his son) over ride Jerry the GM. its all about profits. not winning. just enough winning to keep cowboys relevant and keep money coming in and enough wins every few years to raise ticket prices, like he did for 2022.

 

[Big_D]

It’s comical that some still defend this turd. Something’s wrong if you’re not on the payroll or related to him. Cause he certainly didn’t earn it. Building a stadium and making money would be applauded if he has shown any competence at all in his GM duties!

Saying I work for Jerry suggests frustration and grasping at straws on your part. I’ve already said many times that NO ONE is happy with no Super Bowls the last 26 years, but FACTS are FACTS! Those other teams don’t have the things that I listed, and they DO count for SOMETHING, even if it’s not what we want most. Even if it’s not something you can brag about at the water cooler, it IS substantial—something better than the ‘laughingstock of the NFL” label some want to assign us. And yes, the past 26 years ARE part of Cowboys history.

No one’s defending this “turd”, just stating facts. So much hate over a game.

 

[DenCWBY]

So Jerry and Stephen think they are NFL GMs that are capable of building a team, evaluating talent, signing free agents and everything that involves building a championship roster

Besides being billionaires what makes them believe they can do this?

30 years of history is in the books now…

One Word - EGO

Before Jerry, the Cowboys were going broke and Clint Murchison was looking for any buyer to take the team off his hands. Jerry does just enough to keep his team in the media and the suckers buying box seats and jerseys. The man is a marketing Genius.

Actually, he bought it from Bum Bright, who bought it from Muchison.

I do not know if it is marketing genius if the brand is already established, the term "America's Team" was already there. He capitalized on that.

What was brilliant was the stadium. He was willing to backseat to Parcells to get that going and even gave Dallas a second shot at it because he saw the financial possibilities at the Cotton Bowl better than Arlington or Irving. That would have been the skyline of Dallas.

If those 92-95 years do not happen, none of the rest of this follows suit. In fact, he's probably selling the team just as Bright had to do. That was the springboard that he has been thriving off of these many years.

Why this team continues to draw eyes and money is the real mystery.

1, 2, 5 and 6, do those really matter to a fan? And 6 is arguable, I would say the Patriots and Steelers fans like their nickname, uniforms and heritage.

1, 2, 5 DON’T matter to most fans, myself included, but the fact remains—these other teams he mentioned don’t have them. As for 6, of course ALL teams like their uniforms, stadiums, nicknames, etc., but think about the facts: Do we not have the most extravagant stadium? As the most popular/hated/most hyped team, isn’t that star the most iconic? The silver helmet and pants, the American Cowboy, etc., etc., and the nickname…why do they dispute it’s validity every year? Why do the other teams say “No, WE are America’s Team!” Just sayin’!

 

[DenCWBY]

They saw how "easy" Jimmy made it look. That is why. I'm being dead serious. I remember Bill Walsh saying how Dallas (read Jimmy) had built something that was on the verge of dominating (like we've seen from the Pats) for a long time....and the only thing that stopped Dallas was free agency. Well...little did he know....free agency was a small part of it...the biggest part was the Jones Boy's.

The "credit" is mostly reserved for players and coaches. While the majority of the MONEY is reserved for the owners. Not a bad deal since the owners can't play or coach AND they are making more money than they ever could have imagined. Right? Wrong! Who knew the Jones boys craved the validation that is normally reserved for players and to a lesser degree the coaches. Heck, I would venture to guess the Jones boys themselves did not know how insecure they were.

Here is the funny thing, the coaches and players (millionaires) would trade places with the Jones boys (billionaires) ANY day...yet the Jones boys want what the players/coaches have. Adoration. Admiration. Name on the back of the jersey's. Mic in their face. Lots of "followers" on social media. To be honest, I am STUNNED that one of the Jones boys has not donned a headset and named themselves the head coach of the team. I guess we should celebrate that they have spared us of that spectacle?
I am so conflicted. What the Jones Boys have done...the outright robbery of this fanbase...makes me wish nothing but misery for them. But that means I have to be miserable along with them(without the benefit of seeing any of the cash). People need to stop counting the 3 Super Bowls. The longer we are removed from them...it should be obvious they had NOTHING to do with them. So with that being said....the dirty truth is...the Jones Boys have had ZERO success as the architects of the on field product. Who gets 25+ years to produce ZERO?????????!!!!!!! Since they are the owners...I could see them giving themselves 10 years....but 25+? What we are witnessing is a perfect storm. Where ego, greed, senility, money, insecurity, lack of self-awareness have all collided to create what I consider to be one of the biggest tragedies in sports. I cannot stress how unbelievable this is. What we are witnessing may not ever be repeated in our lifetime. And of course I am aware there have been plenty of teams that have NEVER won....but here is the difference....never has the SAME GM...been afforded 25+ years to get it right!!!!!!

Post of the month!!

His decisions lead to this. 3 decades of stupidity brought on by the man himself when it’s apparently not working! That’s a large window and a huge problem. That’s not hate, it’s just the facts. He’s a crap GM regardless of his marketing abilities!

 

[Preoccupied]

maybe by 2042 something will change
So if you can live past 2042 you may see something different with cowboys

You are the first person I have taken note of to post what I have said may happen all along. (2045 was my guess-timate date of destiny)
Because by then Stephen will be as senile as Jerry is now, and will have accumulated a catalogue of disasterous pretend GM decisions to make Tex Schramm turn in his grave.

The "something different" you mention is dependant on the genetics of the grandkids, whichever set of them step up, to take the reigns.

IF they are able to swallow their pride and release control of the power they wield at the AT&T, the Cowboys have a chance.
IF NOT.
The Abyss.

no cap in 92 and 93.
Man you have issues, your hate run that deep.

it was meant as humor!!!, and yet you took it so seriously....why?

....again, what you listed were "brand" and "market" related values of the cowboys. in terms of on field success, which ultimately is about superbowls and minimally conference championship games , we have not been good. we may have a few division titles, every few years or so. but that's not much to write home about, as there are 7 other winners in other divisions every year. they don't raise banners for that!. given the brand, the money, the visibility, the resources, the stadium, and all of that we are one of the least successful teams in playoffs in the past 25 years. in fact there are 5 teams that have not had a conference championship appearance in past 25 and we are one of them. in fact we only have 3 wins in post season in the past 25 years. we are 4th worst in that category......and given all you said, all division wins, etc....that's bad.... sorry I am not into moral victories.

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

The Joneses have been part of three championships that’s what makes them believe they can do this.

With every passing year....it is OBVIOUS that they played a very minor role in WINNING. They are making more money than any other franchise in the WORLD. So it is clear what role they excelled at! Even the Bengals broke through last year. The Jones boys cannot even get LUCKY!!

And I’m not a club employee. I don’t have millions invested, I have no influence whatsoever, I feel no shame or embarrassment. It’s a game that we all speculate about, and that’s it. Always moving forward. I hope we’re better in 2022. I honestly think we could be, but if not, oh well. No apologies.

 

[kskboys]

You don’t see a lot of things. A majority of fans think they can run the team better than the Joneses.

Oh, absolutely, and they can. It wouldn't take much.

If you don't see that, then there's even more that you don't see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
