You and I live by different standards.
That may be, but the standard set forth in this thread was the Lions and Browns since 1995. You set the bar, not I.

In a 32 year span the average NFL team will:
Win 8 division titles
Go to the playoffs 12 of those seasons
Play in 4 conference championship games
Win 2 conference championships
Play in 2 Super Bowls
Win 1 Super Bowl
________________________
Since Jerry Jones has purchased the team the Cowboys have:
Won their division 11 times.
Gone to the playoffs 15 times
Played in four conference championships
Won three NFC championships
Played in three Super Bowls
Won 3 championships.

They still have two more seasons to complete the 32 years averages.
I am not a big Jerry Jones fan. However, in all fairness, it cannot he said that his tenure as owner was unsuccessful. On the contrary, the Cowboys have been one of the more successful franchises during that period.
With that said, fans typically have the attitude expressed by a Janet Jackson song.....
“What have you done for me lately?”
These next two seasons close a window, not for the Cowboys, but, I suspect, for Jerry himself. This is why I believe these next two seasons are very special to him. I don’t know how this specifically translates to contracts and acquiring more talent but don’t rule out some very imaginative opportunities.
Yea. We aren't the Browns and we aren't the Lions. lolSo, It could be worse basically?

The Super Bowl is the bar with this franchise.Since the Cowboys’ last SB, they’ve won 8 division titles, 4 playoff games, been to the playoffs 10 times and won 57% of their games.
In that same time, the Lions and Browns have combined for 0 division titles, 0 playoff wins, 5 playoff appearances and won 36% of their games.
You can let yourself out
It used to be.The Super Bowl is the bar with this franchise.
The Super Bowl is the bar with this franchise.
The Super Bowl is the bar with this franchise.
Exactly the right question.Now what are his stats after Jimmy Johnson?
Forbes ranking is the bar these days.
Important but hollow if you’re a football fan
You nailed it!Jerry had a great 6 year run when he bought the team. It has been nothing but mediocre since then.
But typical Dallas fans with the 5 Rings mentality. They are content with being mediocre as they just to past success for comfort. Meanwhile, since our last Super Bowl, every single team in the NFC has made the conference championship game except Detroit and Washington. Heck the Cardinals have even made the Super Bowl for crying out loud.
The rule of thumb in sports is you get a 5 year grace period after winning a title. Dallas won 3. That would be 15 years. It has been 24 or 25 years now since we even last went past the divisional round. That grace period ended a long time ago.
Quit trying to smear lipstick on the pig Jerry has turned the Cowboys into over the last 2 decades plus.
But he loves fans who will defend him at every turn and spin it to his favor.

If they were that special to him, he wouldn't waste them on a HC like Garrett.These next two seasons close a window, not for the Cowboys, but, I suspect, for Jerry himself. This is why I believe these next two seasons are very special to him.
yeah that is what I was thinking, subtract the jimmy years and not much left. Even the other SB year was with jimmys team, so after that it was all jerry and his boy.I absolutely forgot it was the 30th anniversary. How could I forget. Now what are his stats after Jimmy Johnson? We should do this again in 7 more years with the 30th anniversary of that 1995 team.

I think it is the opposite, real fans want a competitive team and to make the playoffs, and that is plenty of fun.No real fan is content with anything less than a superbowl
It’s not fuzzy math, it is factual data. However, you are correct that the success was “frontloaded” when Jimmy was the coach.
With that said, I was looking at the entire body of work for the time period 1989 to present. The success of the 90’s have definitely been diluted by recent results but the same could be said of the first six Landry seasons and the last three Landry seasons, all losing seasons wrapped around a 20 year winning streak.
For decades, two of the worst teams were the Steelers and Patriots. For decades it was the Browns that led the NFL first in winning percentage.
