Rate Jerry as Owner/GM on a scale of 1 to 10

[eromeopolk]

No, wanted to see what the good folks on this board thought.
Thanks for chiming in.

Go watch the NFL Network at 7PM CST and you will see what Owner/GM Jerry Jones gave you on Thanksgiving Day 1998....Randy Moss in a Vikings uniform.

The greatest owner in Dallas Cowboys history was Clint Murchison:

1. Established the franchise
2. Hired 3 Hall of Fame Personnel Men; Head Coach Tom Landry, GM Tex Schramm, and VP of Pro Personnel Gil Brandt
3. Team had 5 Super Bowl appearances, 18 playoff appearances, 14 Conference Championship game appearances, 20 consecutive winning seasons, and 2 NFL Super Bowl Championships
4. Built Texas Stadium
5. Allowed Tex Schramm to negotiate the founding on today's NFL
6. 1964 he gave Tom Landry a 10 year contract when everyone wanted him fired.
7. He paid a $50K expansion fee for the Dallas Cowboys and sold the team for $84M the biggest sale of a sports franchise at the time.

Even as bad a this article portrayed Clint Murchison, he was light years better than Jerry Jones

I can't rate his entire body of work because he was all over the place. I can only rate him for who he is now.

He now GMs like an amateur. He's a book keeper that just manages the cap. He GMs like an amateur afraid to make mistakes, so he doesn't do anything.

So if the goal is a championship I give him a 2.

If it's to keep the team above water by playing it safe, he's probably around a 7. It would be higher but his negotiating skills with certain bad contracts has to be noted.

Thanks for the link.
I doubt we will ever see a run like that again
It was really great to be a fan then.

I only gave him a 6 because of the 3 sb wins.
You take those first 6 seasons out and I would give him a 2...

Well, medical and culinary journals say otherwise!

Look, this gal says I am correct on the peaches. She might be a horticultural expert.
She won't lie to you.

CHEFS SUPPORT MY STATEMENT And yes I like Fredericksburg peaches

Owner - 9 , GM - (-5)

 

[Hardline]

Anyone who post anything other than 0 is dumber than a drunk billy goat with a traumatic brain injury.
You are the idiots that keep the **** show going.

 

[DallasEast]

That's really not a fair evaluation because he is in a very unique situation as both owner and de facto GM. Who else is in the same category that can be used in comparison? No one alive.

Jerry did a great job his first 5 years, hired Jimmy , mostly stayed out of the way, signed players.
Did a great job.
Last 27 years has been in over his head with bad trades and bad drafts , hired the wrong HC's and then kept them too long (Garrett).
So looking at his whole body of work I would give him a 6 overall.
Mainly because of those 3 SB's wins.
PS: Hiring wrong front office personal like his son is also a major error.
You hire people because of their ability to get the job done, not just because they are your offspring.
This isn't the local grocery store.
Running a NFL Franchise is a complex operation.

Thoughts ?

I'd say a 5.5 overall.

9/10 as an owner.

But most importantly a 5/10 as GM and this counts as 90% of the score. But he could easily improve that to a 7 or 8 if he just becomes more aggressive in free agency and gets someone to strategically manage the cap. It's almost like he wants to perfectly assemble a SB team, but you gotta be messy and take chances in order to do that.

To give him some credit he, or Will McClay (who he hired) have done a great job drafting recently. And as you pointed out, he does have 3 Superbowl rings.

I believe that Jerry is among the top three to four owners in football. My evidence for that statement is the fact that no other owner puts as much of himself into his franchise as Jerry does. He has the passion & the money to make just about anything happen. Rating: 10

In other words, he puts his money where his mouth is & you just can’t knock him for that. I would take Jerry, the owner, over any other in the NFL. He brings in the talent. He builds stadiums. He keeps the Dallas Cowboys at the front & center of the NFL universe.

Having said that, Jerry also has a darker side that is beginning to emerge over the last decade plus. In a word, it’s ego. That's where the GM comes into play. Rating: 2

LOL Xmillion

[visionary]

As a fan Jerry is -ve 1 million on a scale of 1-10

For Cowboys fans (who want to win a SB) Herry is THE WORST owner in all of sports by far . With Jerry as the owner fans have NO HOPE of a SB victory the foreseeable future
