Essentially, Jerry Jones is Mike Brown, except with championship rings obtained while partnered with both a Pro Football Hall of Fame head coach and a College Football Hall of Fame head coach who acquired his predecessor's roster.

Nearly 200 peers or an average of six-plus GMs per every other franchise since 1989.

And after 30 years, some people still see Jerry Jones' inflexible and stagnant self-tenure as a simple by-product of human ego.

Honestly....and I mean this from the bottom of my heart. If we luck up and win with him as the GM...all I would feel is relief. I doubt there would be elation due to all he has put us through with his stubbornness.

He incorrectly feels that if he wins all would be forgiven. And based on my friends and family...and a lot of people I have gotten to know on this board. he STILL would not be respected!!!!!!

He's the owner can do what he wants.....fans keep supporting the team.......I don't blame him, I'd probably do the same thing. But, if fans want change.....quit supporting the team.....that's really the only alternative.
