Twitter: Has Stephen Jones Taken Over For Jerry?

[noshame]

And some fans thought we would be worse off with Stephen.

Some fans thought we were good with Jerry.

Interesting couple of Tweets from Nick Harris. Just 6 days ago he asked how would we grade the Cowboys offseason after the Pickens trade:

Most Cowboys responses were positive. But then Nick quote-Tweeted this nugget:

It got me to thinking, we haven't seen the Cowboys aggressive in the offseason in a while. We all laughed at the "Cap Boy" jokes at Stephen's expense. But, if the moves made during the draft, signing of free agents to build depth and stimulate competition, and the trades that were made are any indication of how the Cowboys will be run here on out, are the Cowboys in good hands with...Stephen Jones?

What say you Zoners?

What I say is anything I can latch onto for hope moving forward I’m going with. Even a small glimmer of hope is still hope.

Another thing I want to say is I vaguely remember during last offseason Mike Fisher, aka Uncle Fish your trusty and trusted reporter, reported there was “difference of opinions “ with Dak’s value in the FO. This year they traded for Milton who is raw with a lot of potential. And more importantly Milton carries himself and believes he should be the starter. Was that a Stephen move? Interesting. It can be said they were more aggressive this offseason, so if that’s Stephen then that’s a glimmer of hope. I would love to develop a truth serum and dose everyone at the Star and see what they really feel about Dak.

I do. He will be around a lot longer to screw things up

But they will take the Cowboys GM position from Jethro's cold dead hand

Need a meme cartoon.
A skeleton hand reaching out from a grave with a GM hat. Holding on so no one takes it.

The cord hasn't been cut. But Stephen taking on a larger number of duties has been happening for a long time.

Who?

 

[jazzcat22]

Who do we blame the nepo baby Schottenheimer hiring on?

A group decision.

 

[slick325]

So was Stephen the one in charge of last offseason as well?

Oh gosh, a new batch of 20 year olds who have been following the team for 5 minutes think they know something.

I wish I could ask fat Nick (the dweeb that had the nerve to ask Jerry during a press conference about the fans "impatience") how exactly the moves show Stephen is more involved. His BS theory would quickly fall apart.

This is a such a tired subject. Stephen is nothing more than Jerry's secretary and that is proven every time there is a war room video. He makes no decisions. He decides nothing. He works the phone and reports to his father. The real decision maker.

Sometimes he even has to pick up a phone and throw away a fourth round pick just to remind everyone who the boss is.

This is essentially the last glimmer of hope I cling to…Stephen wants to run it a certain way (like maybe hire qualified people and get out of the spotlight) but Jerry refuses.

The common theme is Stevie will be worse, but there’s at least the small possibility he realizes he can still get his public credit as just an owner. See: Kraft, Robert.

You are so wrong. Stephen Jones is a member of The Illuminati. Everyone knows chemical engineers The Illuminati run everything from the shadows...

 

[plasticman]

Most likely, Stephen is handling all the administrative work.

I'm sure he is making most of the decisions. However, I'm equally sure that Jerry has total veto power over any decision.

In other words, Stephen is taking over the day-to-day operations of the franchise but Jerry still sits on the throne.

 

[Rayman70]

More or less,yes. It's been evident.

 

[Whyjerry]

No other team would hire Cap Boy for any position in their organization. Him taking over isn’t a great thing in my mind.

I think it’s worse and really what will be the difference? Both football dummies. Both blinded by arrogance. Both narcissists. Both drunk. One is senile. The other is just annoying. Nepo Boy has zero charm. The old paternity dodger had charm back in the day.

 

[KingCorcoran]

So that would be a no then?

Sounds like a “no”.

Again, there's no reason to believe Stephen will suddenly be struck with humbling common sense and realize he's not fit to be the GM. That he needs to bring in someone who is. Stephen also isn't fit to be the Director of Player Personnel but he has had no issue holding that position over the years.

I have some questions for you. If you’re 100% out on the coach before he even has a chance, 100% out on the draft, 100% out on the QB, 100% out on a defense lead by MP, Diggs, and Bland, and 100000% out on the organization because the guys who own the business want you to run it the way they want to run it, why do you call yourself a Cowboy? Do you even want them to succeed? You seem to be the opps more than fans of other teams. I don’t get it.

You’ve admitted to me that your a fan with only your time, not your wallet. So in all honesty you have nothing to reasonably complain about, yet thats all you do. You’re more of a Cowboy news watcher, not really a Cowboy! Yet you call yourself one. Its Weird…

Last question, do you hold the Mountaineers to the same standard? Hopefully you at least gave them some money for math classes, or fly fishing tutorials, or psych 101. Maybe you at least pay for tickets to watch their games? But have they ever won a championship?

Im just trying to get a better understanding of who you are, or what a MountaineerCowboy is?

I havent heard Milton believes he should be the starter? Perhaps in Boston he did, but not here. At least not yet.

 

[Wildcat711]

But if something's changing with CaPboy well let me see it because I'm seeing a trade but we've made trades before but how about all these other contracts we'll see if George Pickens has a great season and then doesn't get signed here... I mean that's why it's always comical you won't give Jerry any credit for anything anything bad happens it's jerry anything good happens you'll find anybody else to give flowers to some of y'all in the media and the fan base just won't let it go he should get credit for everything good bad or indifferent because that's what's been going on here for years you don't get the backtrack and try to say all that must have been will mcclay or that was one of our coordinators with that pig somebody else must be responsible for George Pickens no Jerry's been involved it will always be involved...

well you got the "it" right.

 

[plymkr]

Very true. Milton has been pretty quiet since he got here.

 

[KJJ]

Him taking over isn’t a great thing in my mind.

This offseason has been better than last years.

 

[HungryLion]

The cowboys offseason hasn’t been that impressive lol.

It’s just better compared to the absolute freaking disaster last offseason was.

The Pickens trade was good and the draft on paper was good (we won’t know until the players actually play).

But their free agency moves were still the same dumpster diving BS we have had for the last decade.

Not to mention they hired a head coach that no other team in the league was interested in, at all.

Maybe Scotty will surprise and be a great HC but perhaps we should pump the brakes before we give anybody positive credit for the offseason until we actually see what happens.
