News: FOX: Jerry Jones responds to Troy Aikmans criticism

[Runwildboys]

Jerry values money much more than wins on the football field.

Jerry knows that more wins means more money.

 

[bratch59]

So based on what Jerry is saying, might as well satay with Garrett

 

[Diehardblues]

Jerry-

At what point will you not believe you are the best GM for Cowboys Football. Age 77 not yet. Age 85, 90??

This is really becoming sad at his age. I’m not sure how anyone expects us to overcome his delusional methods?

Maybe Dementia will begin settling in so we don’t have to wait for Mother Nature to save us.

Thanks Troy.. coming from you it appears to have gained some traction in what many of us have been saying for years.

Jerry values money much more than wins on the football field.

Disagree completely.

He values wins, he just thinks he is the right man to get it done.

His third decade of futility does not have him thinking any differently.

The team being relevant and having very moderate success allows him to sell hope and continue.

One win against the Rams didnt change the fact that this time is wearing thin, whether he knows it or not.

 

[Brooksey]

I don't know how many of these owners played football in the SEC or were the captains of their undefeated National Championship team and love the games like this crazy old man does. He loves it, he loves football, loves being a part of it and it's not changing until he passes.

Yes he's crazy as an old bat but that's Jerry Jones

 

[GMO415]

That was a respectful response. Wouldn't think he'd say anything less.

 

[Plankton]

This is why I laugh when everyone thinks it will automatically be better when Garrett is not brought back next year. Look at who will be making the choice on the next coach, and look at the circus environment that they will walk into. Unless Jones can unearth a unicorn by accident, it will be the same lack of sustained success.

 

[TwoDeep3]

When rich people "want something" they have no concept of not getting or why they wouldn't. The rest of us understand that just because we "want something" doesn't mean that's the best or most logical thing to attain our longterm goals. Jerry is the single greatest reason for ALL of the Cowboys issues.

Rich people understand the mechanics of finances and do not always pony up for things they want if the price is too high. Buyer's remorse is an emotional regret of the those who are not rich and have built their fortunes.

 

[visionary]

He's a straight liar, deluding himself, or truly believes that his involvement is what they all do.

I have two owners that don't get involved every day and look at them:
Kraft and the Holt family (Spurs).

there are 4 NFL franchises where the owner has been the main decider in the last 3 decades, Cowboys, Skins, Raiders and Bengals

you decide if it’s working

 

[atlantacowboy]

I am always amazed how Jerry equates success in football with an owner making all the football decisions. No other team in the NFL is run this way.

He's the only guy who spent a lot of money on a football team? The man is completely delusional, and still acts like the overextended oil man he was in 1989.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Jerry knows that more wins means more money.

Apparently not. If all he cared about is winning , he would hire a pro GM and unleash the coach. He won't admit that he just enjoys meddling in the football decisions and doesn't really care if time has proven him not up to the challenge. And now he's trying to sell the absurd idea that anyone in his position would do the same.

 

[SlammedZero]

How did Jerry become this successful with Jerry-speak? If I went into work tomorrow and started rambling on like he does people would look at me like I am crazy.

If you paid everyone around you, they would just nod their heads and pretend. Anyone who doesn't show Jerry proper deference at the Star isn't going to be working there very long.

You decide!


Edit: Sorry... that was my immediate online defense mechanism.

 

[lukin2006]

Jerry Jones is an embarrassment and he is responsible for allowing the cowboys to fail miserably these last 2 plus decades...

 

[Runwildboys]

He wants to win, but he wants to win his way. I'm not sure if that's because he thinks he knows what he's doing or because he refuses to admit that he doesn't. Either way, one look at him in the owner's box will tell you he wants to win.

It's called baffling them with BS.

 

[BlueStar22]

Jerry who cares how much you wagered to buy the Cowboys. That's in the past and the franchise is worth BILLIONS now. You don't have to control everything like someone whose last name is not Jones is trying to steal the franchise away from you!

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

People really think Jerry's gonna change? That's who he is and we''re stuck with him.

 

[Corso]

He wants to win, but he wants to win his way. I'm not sure if that's because he thinks he knows what he's doing or because he refuses to admit that he doesn't. Either way, one look at him in the owner's box will tell you he wants to win.

He's a semi-rationalizing irrational kibitzer that ain't going anywhere and is leaving us a brood of fonferers and dumkopfs to take over.
