Wonder if he's talking about the Jones Show.

“There’s a handful of teams that aren’t, and those teams, regardless of what takes place, they can win on Sunday but they have trouble winning long term,” Payton said.

 

[glimmerman]

Yeah he is talking about JJ.. And JJ knows he is talking about him..

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Yeah he is talking about JJ.. And JJ knows he is talking about him..

Yup.

Jerry will see this and know that's about him.

Good.

Well that's a shot across the bow. He's been her and knows the situation, we are not for him.

Not functional? When you have the kind of defense the Cowboys have, you are about as functional as it can get.

When your team can beat the defending AFC champions with a backup QB, you are functional.

 

[glimmerman]

Yup.

Jerry will see this and know that's about him.

Good.

Won’t change a thing. JJ Probly called him and told him to say that.

A message to a number of teams, Dallas included. Look at how the Saints are built, a combination of draft picks and quality free agent signings. It's not hard to see what he's saying.

I wanted Payton but the way he's acting with this subliminal beta talk he can stay where he is. Moving real weak. Say it wit ya chest or don't say it

You missed the key point

So, he's not coming here.
Check please...

I think he meant more like we are able to win some in the regular season, but when it comes to games that really count (the playoffs) we are nothing.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Hmm, I don’t think he’s talking about Dallas if there’s any truth to him wanting to come there.

Many teams have been more dysfunctional than the Cowboys. LV, DET, WAS, NYJ, CLE, MIA, HOU, JAX, ARI…

 

[fredp22]

this has to be one of the worst kept secret's and being poorly played out.
Amazing that no one has asked him "if you miss it so much why dont you just go back to N.O."?

 

[Risen Star]

McCarthy would tune this guy up in any altercation.

This franchise is as dysfunctional as they get.

Winning is not the priority here. Relevance is. Branding is. Curating money is. Nationally televised games and constant chatter is the means to those ends.

Jerry is PT Barnum, and this is the Jones family circus. As long as the clowns and elephants are on the field, that's all that matters.

I don't think he means the players.

He means it's a poor recipe for any sustained success throughout a season or long term.

I guess?

 

[Big_D]

Maybe some coaches actually like playing in January? And not sitting home or on the yacht.

He also said this........

"it’s all about having the kind of ownership and front office he thinks he can work well with and will help him build a winning culture."

What's there to work well with? Jerry does the exact same thing every season regardless of how well, or how poorly the team played the previous year. This isn't the same Jerry that got Haley, Deion, and Owens. He doesn't do any of that anymore.
