despite my total disdain for the schmuck, I can't go so far as to root for his earthly demise, but I do believe its the only chance of worthwhile change....

until I realize his spawn has permeated the entire organization so they're likely to carry on flailing in the wind indefinitely
That's where I am, I actually believe it could get worse because at least Booger made his fortune, he wasn't born to it and his number one has never impressed me as being sharp. I think he got that "celebrity gene" of Booger's too, likes talking on the radio and trying to impress people with how much he's learned in 20 years of training.

I’m stunned so many fans can’t see the improvements being made the past few years. Your hate consumes you and blinds you and makes you look as ignorant as a rock. It’s hilarious.
Ohhhhhh, don't hold back, tell him how you really feel.

Rocky, the man didn't insult your family, it's a damned football team, why insult him? Is this so important to you that your perspective might be a little off? Man, you carry on like one of the Jones family members.

I love Dak and think we are lucky to have him but when he was drafted I don't think Jerry was planning on him being our franchise QB especially this fast . But his talent ,durability , price and ability to lead us to the playoffs have got Jerry to go all in and do everything he can to give him the tools to be successful . Dak just needs the time to mature but in the mean time he is taking us to the playoffs and making Jerry look like a genius .

Jerry was beside himself after that draft for not trading up to get Paxton Lynch. He said he probably made a big mistake.

Charlotte appears to have more of that celebrity gene. Personally I’d have more confidence with Jerry jr or Char running our franchise than Stephen.

That’s what he does if he doesn’t agree with you. He resorts to personal attacks. They give him timeouts but must be a big contributor.

Who used that word. I don't see the post.

Post 41 of this thread, a poster named Blake that I'm guessing you have on Ignore.

The problem with Fans is most don't understand Jerry and what he wants out of his HOBBY THE DALLAS COWBOYS most . HE WANTS THE CREDIT everything else is secondary

He hires and sticks with a coach in Garrett with no experience when he could break the bank on the best . In 30 freakin years we don't use a 1st round pick on a QB to develop and make no provision for Romos retirement even after his back is proven shot

We draft a guy in the 4th rd as an after thought and he has Just enough talent to catch Jerrys eye and become his next economical project that everybody missed

Now we have Kellen Moore another completely unknown gamble to run our offense but if he is the football mind some say it will make Jerry look like the football guy he craves to be known as .

The 3 most important positions on the team are gambles Jerry is going to see through and play out to look like the football guy he wants to be . He has just enough success with longshots like Jaylon and Randy to give him credibility and he owns the team .

Cowboy Fans in this era need to ADJUST EXPECTATIONS and understand its JERRYS HOBBY SO NONE OF IT HAS TO MAKE SENSE only to Jerry

So debating over what could be done is fine WHINING AND CRYING OVER it is just a plague on all of us that understand Jerry and why things are done the way they are . YEP ITS A BITTER PILL.

CONTROL WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL buying a ticket and the remote on your TV

Outstanding post. Sticky worthy and multiple likes to you dear sir...

I think a lot of us see some improvemets, however they have not translated to good results.

What was that Prince song? "Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1995!"

Oh...It was 1999. Well, I mean what's a few more years between trophies. I mean seriously. We are soooooooo close.

Exactly right. You should stop wasting your time here and become a Patriots fan.

The teams issues aren’t with coaching. No matter how many threads we want to start about it.
The #1 issue with this team is the HC. There are a ton of threads on Garrett’s mediocrity because he is.

No matter how many times you and 2-3 other fans( your side is dwindling), want to say the HC is not the issue you will be wrong.

Makes me laugh sadly at those who immediately put my assertions of something shady into the conspiracy category and discount them.

There's the way things are advertised to work, and the way they actually work. "Conspiracies" are the rule, not the exception.

https://www.jerrypournelle.com/reports/jerryp/iron.html
Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people:

First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration.

Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc.

The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization.

People blame Dak and Garrett because it’s easy and that’s what fans do, not because they’ve conducted an exhaustive review of what the team actually needs.

It’s the same reason the majority was 100% convinced Kellen Moore wasn’t qualified to be a QB coach when he’s apparently good enough to be promoted to OC after a single season. Generally speaking, fans don’t have a clue. But they’re always certain they’re right.
