Jerry Jones: I was so close to drafting Johnny Manziel

[Hoofbite]

Everyone knew that his post-draft comments about not even considering it were bogus.

 

[Hoofbite]

This tells me our war room is still a mess. At the point you are picking in the first, you should have already discussed this scenario and made a decision. That should have happened days before

Which is probably for the best because it means that there are people disagreeing with Jerry.

He will always be Jerry. The guy who cleared the war room and personally made the Quincy Carter pick against the advice of his scouts.

At least now he's not flat out overruling the entire process on his own.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

They guy is doing what he does best and always does. Runs his mouth to give the media more to talk about, good or bad, about him and his team so he continues to generate interest. He's the ultimate salesman.

If only the guy was nearly as good a owner/GM as he is a salesman then we'd really have something in Dallas.

Yesterday's business.

 

[JackWagon]

He's going to be the Randy Moss for us the next 10-15 years

If Johnny Football is successful ... that pick will haunt Jerry to his grave.

6:10 jerry says "by the way my expectation is for tony to be our QB for serveral years to come" while holding up 4 fingers

Whatever video popped up for me has WRs versus DBs with Terrence and Morris going at each other. Morris seems to be overselling his confidence a bit. Taking his helmet off so he can spout off at Williams.

#80 is big. Broaddus said he looks like Marty B out there and he kinda does look like Bennett did his rookie year. He also looks pretty smooth. Lot of the other younger WRs look jerky in their movements but he looks very fluid. Be interesting to keep an eye on him.

I think that's Byrd if im not mistaken. He stood out to me watching the same video as you yesterday

If that's the case why would he consider taking Johnny?

I thought the more interesting aspect of the interview was when Jones confirmed that he kept JG because he has too much training invested in the young coach.

And he came close to admitting that Romo's injury vs Washington saved Jason's job.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

I'm not worried. We have the great Weeden waiting on the sidelines if Tony goes down.

 

[Alexander]

I remember people skewering Mayock over this.

I guess sometimes the evil media is onto something.

I had always just thought Jason wasn't a good coach until that pc after Romo got hurt, when he came out grinning like the cat that caught the canary I started to actually dislike him

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Is he trolling?

Honestly, I knew this at the time. Not surprised at all.

I am also not surprised that he is giving the media peripheral stuff to talk about.

Why? What about the other 20 teams that passed on him, too?

Manziel already looks bad on and off the field. He's regressing before he even began.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Desperate for attention while staring at lowered expectations Jones sinks to deeper levels of zombie.

I think what's being implied is that the other 20 GMs won't have any issue moving on past not drafting JM even if he turns out to be great, content with who they did decide to pick.

Jerruh, not so much.

 

[peplaw06]

Catch the comment Jerry had about hearing the criticism he takes for not listening to scouts and coaches, then in the same breath he says, but look Manziel was the highest rated player left on their board? I don't get it. Like hey guys, I do listen to coaches and scouts, I just went against the board on this one. Aren't you proud?

Jerry lies so much how does a person ever know if he's being honest?

Jerry: Step away from the michrophone.

When he says he's faithful to his wife?
