Lol!!! Great stuff! Keep it coming.

Refute it. What team would employ a GM for 25 years who only built teams that won 4 playoff games over that time period? Answer honestly.

There has been one constant throughout the last 25 years. That's been Jerry.

To blame anyone or anything else for the last 25 years is just blindness. Jerry Jones is the single biggest reason we are on this run. Doesn't mean he can't change it, but to deny that Jerry has had the single biggest influence on the direction of this franchise since Jimmy was shown the door is a little bizarre.

Take things too literally much ? Think the Patriots had a decent system ?
Of course...beyond decent actually...but that was less about the owner, and more about the combination of coach and QB. If Kraft can keep them as perennial SB contenders without Bill and Tom, I'll rethink my position.

If I owned a team I'd do the same thing. The ultimate toy.

Jimmy’s team won three Super Bowls using the Joneses money. Jerry was just signing the checks and bringing his Saudi Prince buddy down to the sideline. Jethro was probably passed out at a fraternity party. Why is it impossible for Jerry to find another Jimmy ? Easy Peasy; Jerry only wants weak coaches or bootlickers, ala Garrett and Fat Mike, etc... Parcels needed money and was old but even he bailed out when GM Jerry saddled him with TO. Jerry needs the credit for any winning. There are owners who do have a sure fire system; they hire professional front office football people and coaches and get out of the way. Jerry is not a football guy by any extent - he is a fan who drinks and owns a football team and can do anything he wants. That sucks for us.


lol can't tell if this is sarcasm or people actually believe this crap? 18th ranked team salary in 92. Thank God for Jerry and the endless supply of blank checks??! :confused: This idea that he bought those Super Bowls is not only ridiculous but just sad that Cowboy fans actually buy it!

You would have every right to do it. Fans would also have the right to hold you accountable for the results. They wouldn't owe you blind loyalty. Many would find it hard to see every year as a "new start" when the same operating model remains in place.

Hiring a new batch of future scapegoats isn't a new start. It's business as usual. After 25 years, I'll believe it can produce better results when I see the results.

Fans have the right to leave, but they don't.......therein lies the problem.

Kraft doesn’t get any credit for hiring the Hoodie ? When he hired him he was a failed head coach during his time in Cleveland.... Kraft doesn’t get any credit for his relationships with the Hoodie and GOAT that kept them happy and in NE for all those winning years ? Owner Jerry poisoned his relationship with Jimmy after 3 or 4 years ? And hasn’t won since...

Dude, misunderstand things much ? And calm down. The point wasn’t that those SB’s were bought with money. The point was that Jimmy was the leader and architect of those championships, not Jerry. Man, a mind is a terrible thing to waste...lol.

And that's fine.

Doesn't change the fact this franchise has largely underperformed for a quarter century largely because of Jerry.
I wonder how Vikings fans feel about their owner...
Let's ask that QB for the Cardinals!

People actually believe that Jerrys money bought those Super Bowls and they were successful because there was no cap. It's been said many times around here!!

The Jets haven't won a 'chip since '69.

I wonder how their fans feel about their owner(s).

Houston should have won something by now, right?

Positive post:

Detroit, Cleveland, Jacksonville, and Houston have never been to a Super Bowl.
The Jets last SB was 52 years ago.
Minnesota was in 1976. 44 years
The Dolphins in 1984. 36 years
Cincy in 1988. 32 years
And Buffalo lost to Dallas in their last appearance in 1993.
And to make you really happy.....

The Washington Football Team hasn't been to a Super Bowl since 1991 where they also beat Buffalo!

I know. I do seem to remember some coaching and drafting and trades helped out a lot too - like the Great Train Robbery Herschel Walker trade. Jimmy said that the trade was just half of it; that the real genius was selecting the right players with all those picks. I miss Jimmy.
