Stop saying Jerry hasnt done his job as GM

CouchCoach said:

I didn't know how the OP's thread was going to go but once I saw "Stop saying" I knew those that were saying would not stop saying and probably a couple who hadn't said anything would start saying.

Just a word of advice to Demboyz, never start your thread title with an order. Here, that is akin to making eye contact.

If you notice dumboyz hasn’t responded. LOL

He's built good rosters over the years. He's givin us travis frederick, tyron smith, zach martin, dlaw, micah parsons, tdiggs, sean lee, dak, zeke, all people that we have drafted just to name a few. Yes some dumb mistakes like not picking tj watt but for the most part he has did his part in building us a contending team. Now we just need a head coach that can take us over the top

Until he figures out that the Defense and OL need the lion's share of cap and draft capital his formula will not work. The only teams that can "maybe" get away with skimping on the OL have elite QBs, the other 90% of NFL teams don't.

Well…since the Cowboys last even played in a conference championship, the Rangers have won two American League championships, appeared in 2 World Series…the Mavericks have won 2 Conference championships, an NBA championship…and the Dallas Stars have won 3 conference championships, appeared in 3 Stanley Cup Finals, and have won a Stanley Cup once.

Comparing the Cowboys to their Dallas counterparts in other sports is even more of an indictment than just the last 26 years.

So, you are talking about 26 years then...discounting the fact that under Jerry there were 3 Lombardis and another NFC game as well...ring around the focus points.

Throw in some insultive terms to another fan presenting a variety of perspectives, but don't approach end of season results for the past ten seasons...sorry, a bit of cherry picking. Being competitive doesn't always mean being champion.

I'm not impressed by a series of other fan supported high brow...really. There is merit even now.

As fast as a legitimate question was presented, it is ignored in favor of decade long complaints. Well, how did this year's Cowboys lose to Kansas City and San Francisco? A field goal score each game, and with an undependable kicker? Do a direct comparision and not to match stereotypes!

Three things that need to change from this year's team:

The offense needs to gain consistency...
The defense needs to take the next step...
Mike McCarthy and Kellen Moore need to learn how to rise to the occasion

Now, that no where says Jerry!

He also put us in cap hell with horrific contracts to Zeke, Jaylon smith, Dlaw, Cooper etc. Are any of those guys top 3 at their respective positions? They are paid like they are. Also lots not ignore the fact that Zekes 2022 contract was guranteed right before the season. VERY BAD

He hasn't done his job.

There is exactly a 0% chance this team advances a single round in the post-season if the complete inability to beat good teams continues. And if McCarthy and Moore can’t learn how to do it, Jerry seems willing to move on quicker than he did with Jason Garrett.

But the point here, is that the current problem isn't in the lap of Jerry or Stephen...but here is the top of the defensive bump:

This would entail Micah Parsons taking a second-year leap and outperforming his rookie season, Trevon Diggs learning to play tighter coverage instead of baiting a mistake, and the defensive line improving against the run.

Young player improvement, without the current Defensive Coordinator in place, probably...

Ask yourself this. Would Jerry have fired the GM if it wasn't himself? 26 years without even a trip to the conference championship game?

how’d those draft picks work out? Jerry wasted them. Winning is a year round endeavor that includes competent decisions, competent hires, plus smart cap management and FA acquisitions. It’s not just about what happens those 3 days in April.

When you waste any solid pick you ever made and can’t get past the wildcard round, there’s a fundamental problem!

he has no clue how to build a complete roster.

He also fired Jimmy Johnson, ran Parcells out, traded for Roy Williams, held a special teams draft, wanted Johnny Cocaine over Martin, hired Dave Campo, kept Jason Garrett for 10 years, ruined several HOF careers, and gave us dozens of really bad contracts. Look at his record. He sucks.

Sorry, you don't get a free rewrite of histories involving all mentioned...

Oh, some of you are right...hogs can be hard to hunt.

These people defending Jerry as a GM must be under 30 and just have no memory of when this franchise was run correctly. So, they have nothing to compare it too.

I could stop saying that Jerry hasn't done his job as a GM if other posters could stop saying that Jerry has done his job as a GM. When you hear or read a complete falsehood, it's almost a duty not to allow it to go unchallenged less people accept it as a fact.

He's built good rosters over the years? What years? How many years out of his 28 years as the GM?

Well, to put it more accurately, how many years has someone he hired built good rosters? Yes, I realize that, although he's given those responsibilities to McClay, he gets to claim the credit because he gave himself the title.

Can a GM keep his job by constantly building good rosters? What about the other two thirds of his job? Did he hire good coaches for these good rosters? Was he able to turn these good roster into great football teams, the kind that go deep into the playoffs?

Did he make the right decisions in regards to contracts and the salary cap? Did he prioritize correctly, did he keep the right players and jettison the ones whose play couldn't match their salaries?

Did he dedicate himself fully to the job with singular focus on his only goal, to do everything in his power to get the Cowboys more championships? Did he succeed?

Did he build a winning culture? Did he set clear boundaries of responsibility between him and the head Coach?

I can and will say that he hasn't fulfilled his obligation as an owner of an NFL franchise by retaining a GM with a record of mediocrity over an unacceptable span of years.

Excellent question. Then again, this is the same man who has not given a second thought about Rowdy as an appropriate mascot for his franchise during the same length of time.

Im old school. I was taught that if you cant do better Shut up. Everyone on this board should shut up. Jerry hands the reigns over to any one of you , 1-15 inside of 2 seasons. Ga Run Tee....

Do I disagree with Jerry? Absolutely not. Anyone with two ideas and a marginal IQ could see that this team played vastly different in their first seven games as opposed to their final eleven. After starting the season 6-1, Dallas went just 6-5 to end the season.

https://thelandryhat.com/2022/01/26/cowboys-jerry-jones-ruining-team/

This is a major decision for Jerry:

In case you’re wondering, Cooper is under contract with this team until 2025. However, Dallas can get out his five-year, $100M contract this offseason with just $6M going to dead money. Now, Cooper did have his worst year since coming to Dallas, but why that occurred is not all on him.

...“I don’t have any comment on Cooper’s contract. I thought that the way we were playing early when we did make something happen, I thought Cooper had a big part of it. And I’m not being trite. But how he fits in, he should take half the field with him when he runs a route. Not half — half is an exaggeration, of course, but a whole bunch of that defense should have to honor Cooper. And he ought to be able to catch it in the middle of when they’re going with him. Others do. You throw to people that are covered all the time in the NFL.”

THEN, he needs to decide how he proceeds with his current head coach, maybe...

It's either Jerry or his cousin Eddie?

it amazes me someone out there believes this. You must be friends or family of Jerry. No way someone can look at 26 years with only 3 playoff wins and zero conference championship games and say he did his job. We know that any other GM in the league would have been fired a long time ago. We know the only reason he doesn’t get fired.

Just like it's said KM has a collection of plays and not a scheme , Jerry has created a collection of players and not a team. Not one with an identity anyways.

Jerry Jones is not a good owner/GM.

Someone explain to me why Elliott was getting the majority of the snaps with a knee tear.
Why Pollard didn't get them during his recovery.
And if Pollard was also injured, why the hell BOTH were run injured.
How no RB additions of ANY significance occurred.
Why he didn't bring in a kicker. Watch the playoffs and you'll see the importance.
Why our Punter got so much attention.
Why the O line was an embarrassment.

He's simply too involved with regard to team decisions.
