Twitter: Schefter: Some teams are saying it's unfair Jerry and Stephen get to be in same room draft day

It's not fair for family members to be together during an epidemic crisis? Pathetic attitude..

We’d be screwed if Jerry were in a room by himself

I was confused too, but maybe other teams think if Jerry is in a room by himself theres no one to take away his draft card and thus will pick the next Shante Carver, David Lafluer, Ebenzer Ekuban, etc. Otherwise I don't understand why it would be a concern lol.

I don't either. Does anyone think the other teams are incapable of communicating by Skype, Zoom or whatever? And what do they expect the Jones to do, send Stephen to a different room in the same house and communicate online?

Does Stephen still live at home or something? Otherwise why would people think he’s going to be in the same spot as Jerry?

Good point....

As an Eagles fan I’m ok with it lol

Sounds like reverse psychology to me. Teams knowing Jerry doesn't want to be told what to do, thus ensuring it happens. Other teams want that to ensure that quarter century of excellence continues.

LOL, I would want their entire clan in the room on draft day.

Exactly. That has to be a joke. The rest of the league wants the Jones boys to screw things up.

JoeKing · Apr 7, 2020

IMO, it's too much of a disadvantage to not have Stephen's voice of reason in the same room with Jerry. Alone he starts thinking about things like Dez Bryant.

I’m hoping their draft feed doesn’t work

Sydla · Apr 7, 2020

I am struggling to see what the issue would be for other teams. Do other teams also not have their owner and GM and scouts and assistant GMs in the war rooms too or connected by technology?

MaaS · Apr 7, 2020

Wait - so if we find a way to cut off internet and landline service to Jerry's house and interfere with cellular reception, the Jones family has to let the scouts make the picks!?

You shouldn't be.

Because that brain trust has out drafted your boy Howie for years. Drafting is about the only thing Jerry and Stephen do with a modicum of success.

What's next, that it's unfair that Jerry gets to wear a toupe while the rest of the balding GMs or owners, can't. Maybe Jerry's toupe on the underside has the NFL official logo on it.

Is there some type of rule they feel is being broken?

unionjack8 · Apr 7, 2020

How can they be in the same house? Do they Normally live together.?

Hadenough · Apr 8, 2020

Well you have to admit that other teams might be mad that Jerry was talked out of taking Johnny Manziel. Although I'm not sure he wouldn't of been just as good as Prescott with all this talent around him.
