Jerry Jones the Dumbo GM is Mind Boggling

Kaiser said:

Writing anything definitive on the second day of free agency is considered freaking out. At this same time last year the only moves we had were losing Beasley and Damien Wilson. Then we signed Cobb and Quinn later on, all four of those were the correct moves.

You can sit here and talk about some great tactical move the team has made.
Letting Witten & Heath go are no brainers, I could hire my 8 year old to make those moves.
Strategically this front office has no vision. Are we trying to win a SB this year? I dont have the exact quote, but Bill Walsh said this years ago.. You are really only competing with 5-6 teams who are trying to win a SB. Other teams have different agendas, whether is more revenue, higher ticket sales, dealing with dead cap, only paying salaries to the minimum level.
Jerry should be obsessed with winning and he is not as it is human nature. If he had no rings he would be eating, sleeping, drinking with one goal in mind. His thought process is to not turn over the apple cart and keep milking the cash cow. The media and fans love the controversy.
Cowboys being 8-8 to a maximum of 10 wins is the sweet spot. Skip & Shannon, ESPN first take, Fox, CBS, etc.. As long as the Cowboys are good enough Jerry is happy. He will never let this team bottom out, and he does not want to put in the work to compete. He is happy being mediocre. Just like in all phases of the world, his incentive is his driver. I just wish all Cowboy fans saw this and donned the brown paper bags.
Think about the last dramatic thing Jerry did. When the Cowboys lost to the Houston Texans in their first ever professional game.. Bill Parcells felt sorry for him and became the HC.
We have no hope until we go 3-13 or somehow luck box our way to a SB.

Remember how Dallas ended up with no RDEs on the roster?

1st Jerry trades for Robert Quinn who had 2 years remaining on his contract and signs him to a 1 year deal from $11M to $8M.

Then he releases Taco Charlton who had to go through Jerry Jones infatuation with Randy Gregory and his unreliability with weed NFL suspensions (plural). Jerry cuts Taco (No suspensions or trouble) with 2 years remaining on his rookie deal not including a 5th year option because Taco was a 1st round pick.

What will the Jerry Dumbo GM do next at DL? He is down a sack leader, 2 weed heads, a no.1 draft pick, and pick up a 32 year old DT on a 3 year contract. Mind Boggling.

Call me crazy, but I'm guessing we will actually have a RDE when the season opens.

As for Taco, the mistake was drafting him, not letting him go. As for Quinn, you can't pay everyone, and Quinn got a huge payday from the Bears. Every team suffers cap casualties.

I gave you a like because you called Jerruh "Dumbo"

Dumbo and Son plan appears very clear to me.

We’re investing in our stars on offense to carry this team.

And we’ll piece together the defense.

If you are writing this, you haven't been paying attention for the last 30 years. Jerry's problem is that he is too obsessed, not that he isn't obsessed enough.

And if you are talking about strategy two days in FA I think you are confused about what the term means. The strategy is to build through the draft and build a young talented core, and they have done that.

Sorry I disagree with you 100%. I would bet that the majority of Cowboy fans would disagree with you.
If Jerry's goal was winning SB's, we would not have had a 25 year championship game drought. If Jerry cared about SB's he would hot have kept Jason Garett as his head coach for 10 years.
This list could keep going. Judge him by what he does not what he says.

dckid said:

I can't believe the team that had 20 straight winning seasons, 8 of the first 30 SB's now is satisfied by not being the Bears or Cleveland.
We are a sad group of fans who have been beaten down to accept mediocrity.
Just think back to 4 years ago how sad many people were when Romo was injured. We were pining for a guy who hadn't won a lick and put up great passing stats in a terrific passing era.
It's sad that I have to watch great Cowboy games on youtube.. I don't even consider myself old.. very early 40's.

You owe me more likes. Because every time I post, I give him the title he deserves Jerry "Dumbo GM" Jones.

He is Al Davis on steroids but has no football personnel acumen. That means he is Jerry Dumbo GM Jones.

So they have built a young talented core. Most other teams that do that, then supplement the core with quality FAs to build as complete a roster as they can.

We don't do that. We use FA to bargain shop, typically for scraps, hoping we get lucky and one or two hit.

Agreed!

Dreski said:

I agree Quinn was not as good against the run as he was against the pass. I’m not sure how good or bad Taco could have been with Dallas, we don’t know how much of it was his inability to be coached, or Rod Marinelli giving up on the player. Hopefully Jim Tomsula is a better coach, he did have success coaching DT’s in Washington, so I still have hope for Trysten Hill.

I mean they got 2 top 5 tackles out of the draft and they weren't that great as a unit especially their run defense

Al Davis was a SB winning GM in his younger years. Jerruh was carried by Jimmy's genius.

Bar none the worst GM in the league. They need to name an official award after him. Jerry should. It even be a HOfer.

Blackspider214 said:

Lmao. Taco had 5 sacks with the Dolphins. Our overrated, overpaid DLaw had the same number. Funny how Taco immediately got better when he left Dallas.

Every year we hear how solid this DL will be. Every year it is a huge issue.

Click to expand...

wow 5 sacks. LOL What a stud.

Taco was just as bad. All he got was more playing time there.

Are you actually insinuating that Taco is as good as Lawrence? Tackles? TFL? Pressures? Take a look at those numbers.

USArmyVet said:

Taco Charlton finished with 5 sacks on the year compared to DeMarcus Lawrence's 5.5 sacks.

There was no reason to reduce Quinn's deal down from 2-years to 1-year and now he is gone after a monster 2019.

Click to expand...

Is sacks all that a lineman does for you? Pull up the other stats.

Quinn was horrible against the run. HE was part of the problem.

CowboyRoy said:

Taco was terrible. Glad that loser is gone. Quinn was one dimensional. Was as bad against the run as he was good in the pass rush. Quinn was part of the problem last year. And did you see the contract he just signed?

Problem was that he listened to the moron Merinelli on what kind of Dlineman he wanted.

McCoy is a good pickup at a bargain price. We need ONE more good Dlineman. Either in FA or the draft and this Dline will be looking up.

Totally agree on Quinn. Should have been a situational rusher. He'd get taken upfield creating an easy run lane to his side. Since he pass rushed every freakin down, he became real predictable.

Yes, he is nothing more than a third down specialist. Great one at that. But he absolutely made our run game defense terrible. Stopping the run is #1.
