News: DMN: Cowboys VP Stephen Jones on thought of eventually running team: 'It's actually something

It is sad for all cowboy fans Stephen, to think of you 'running the team like papa jones'
 
Maybe if they win another title Jerry will step down, then it didn't have to be because of his death that Stephen took over.
 
i just hope Stephen does a better job with the team than his dad has. I think the daughter would probable do a better job
 
i agree I think the cowboys under Stephen will be completely different than under his father he will demand lots of accountability from coaches and players and exe's. he will be much tigher with the money I also think his sister would be really good at it to she seems to be very business savy but I will say one thing about jerry the man know how to make money give him props on that.

You have to look beyond the records and how this team is being built. We have tons of young talent and the best roster in years. We all know 2 years ago we were 12-4 and should have came close to that last year. That is called a good trend.

I hope you are right but we have been listening to the ole " This team is being built " Stuff for many, many years.

"Look beyond the record"

I bet you didn't say that when jimmy was HC did you?
I bet patriots, Seahawks, and steelers fans don't say that

Wonder why?

I agree. Our starters on offense are pretty good but we have no dept and the defense is awful. We had to run Murray into the ground just to keep our defense off the field. And I won't even bring up our fragile QB. If he goes down then the season is over.

No.

Obviously I was speaking about our 4-12 last season and us having a much better roster than that record indicated. And generally I don't get too interested in teams final records as what happens after that matters most.
 
OMG even Stephen doesn't know that he really runs the team.

This is how tight our operation is these days.

I don't know about you, but I think the reason the Cowboys haven't been more successful (they've actually been top-10 team in the league in terms of wins this last decade prior to last year's disaster) are pretty apparent. There are 32 teams in the league. The best of them do almost everything well. Our team has been moderately competitive in recent years, but until 2014 weren't really in that upper echelon of teams who were good enough to maybe win it all.

But the reasons we fall short have been pretty obvious to me. We don't pressure the passer enough and we don't defend the pass well enough. The reasons for that, in my opinion is that we had the wrong DCs in place under Garrett, twice, we've been limited in terms of what we were willing to do under the cap going back to 2010, and we haven't devoted enough resources to the defense overall. And when we have, we've taken long shots on guys like Gregory and Carr, and Claiborne, and now, Jaylon Smith that haven't really panned out. Those whiffed moves are squarely on the organization and rightfully so, but a reasonable context would be that those are the types of moves that have kept the team from being one of the very best in the league and not reasons for considering the Cowboys a stinking dumpster fire.

But the stupidity of the 'ok with mediocrity' arguments or the lobbying for blowing everything up and starting from scratch out of impatience makes no sense to me. We're putting together a very intricate puzzle here. Getting mad and knocking it off the table and starting over because it's hard seems silly. If we're really sure we don't have the right guys putting it together, and that the liability in that department is the Head Coach and not Jerry or Stephen Jones, then, fine. But it might just be that it's really hard for anybody to put a puzzle together when Jerry insists on taking parts of it apart while you're looking for the next piece. And that's kind of what happens when he swings for the fences every chance he gets and insists on an open-door policy where players can have access to him behind the coach's back.

No kidding. When I hear Stephen talk, I hear a guy that says the right things, but other times he sounds exactly like his dad. I don't really see him being much of an improvement.

Bull ......

I get so sick of hearing this absolute crap ....... Jerry cares about getting credit for winning a super bowl ...... he would rather win 1 with him getting all the credit than win 10 and someone else getting it.

Our defense disagrees with you.
