Yes!
Now I can have hope for my team instead of hoping the owner dies.

Billionaires live till 90s or so with their unreal health care. But I'm hoping Stephen pushes him out due to being senile, and then we have Stephen and who knows how his cheap self is going to be. Those 3 Super Bowls we received early on, I really cherish those because I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel. What we're going to need is for Dak, or another QB to actually win in spite of - Garrett/Linehan/Marinelli/Jerry Jones/Stephen Jones/ whoever our trainer is, and that's our only hope.

I doubt Jerry will another SB but he could live to see another championship if he were to let Stephen run the team. At some point Jerry’s health isn’t going to allow him to continue to run the team. We just have to hope that Stephen will do things differently. If he follows the same path Jerry has the past 25 years it will be a continuation of what we’ve been seeing. This team needs a GM and a solid HC. You can’t have an owner that wears too many hats.

The best way to get the Cowboys back to where they once were winning championships is to do things the Patriots way. Bill Belichick has full authority over the football operations essentially making him the GM. That’s exactly how Jerry won with Jimmy back in the 90s by giving him full authority over the football operations. Jerry will never do that again which is why the Cowboys aren’t going to win while he’s still physically able to run the team.

No. Jerry is a bad GM. The past 23 years are who he is, and expecting he'll suddenly sprout magic GM talent is just wrong. It's just not gonna happen.

So you are saying there is a chance?

The best way to do it is draft Tom Brady. He has covered up a lot of warts and bad decisions.

Nope. He's a Al Davis mummy looking starter kit that's going to live another 19 years in misery along with the rest of us glory day chasing suckers!!

Brady’s the number one reason they continue to win. Belichick was 5-13 with Bledsoe dating back to the 2000 season.

Yes. He already has three as owner.

Will he get any more? I wouldn't bet on it.

The three he has already are irrelevant to his chances of winning another because those teams were build in an era that's gone the way of leather helmets and the flying wedge.

What has he done in the current era of the cap and free agency?

Why do you think Stephen would do any better than his old man?
After all look who he's learned from.

Yes or no and why?

Odds on Jerry housing the Lombardi trophy one more time?

Al Davis spent the last 28 years of his life trying to get #4. He almost got lucky in 2003, until the coach he traded away ended the dream.

Jerry isn't likely to be any different, given his advancing age and 22 years of not even sniffing one.

If yes, it will happen because he finally realizes you have to build a competent defense, at least competitive. After the three wins in the 90’s, Aikman’s game suffered without Irvin and a declining OL/Emmitt. Then we hit a long stretch when we couldn’t find another franchise QB. Finally, as Romo started to show he might be the guy, Jerry put every asset into trying to rebuild that 90’s offensive magic. More experienced coaching in Parcells, star receivers. It took him awhile to realize that you need an OL and finally rebuilt that. Along the way, he tried to play defense with big name coaches like Wade and Monte Kiffin, Marinelli, but with absolute garbage for players....and yes, despite having Ware, we were still bad.

Now he seems to finally realize that having at least a competitive defense is a must. No matter how great and prolific your offense, there will be days when someone shuts down your run game or roughs up your QB, or guys underperform, and on those days you better have a defense that can hold the other team in check enough to give you a chance. Romo and Dak both had the Cowboys ready to make a run at the SB, and both put up enough points, only to both lose to GB because our defense was a complete joke, not even average.

GB in the early days — 70’s Cowboys and Steelers — 80’s SF 49ers — 90’s Cowboys — NE Patriots
All the so-called dynasties did it with balanced teams. Sometimes the offense wins; sometimes the defense wins. Even in the salary cap era of parity, it’s not all Tom Brady. Brady has to done it without superstar WRs or RBs because Belichick makes sure that team is balanced with a defense that doesn’t let other offenses run up the scores like they would if he surrounded Tom with all superstars. 2014 and 2016 only the defense kept Dallas from having a SB chance, and in 2015 and 2017 the team couldn’t overcome issues on offense because the defense wasn’t there.

If Jerry stays the course, keeping the offense competitive with another playmaker and depth but mainly finishing the job on defense, yes, the Cowboys can win another SBin the near future...and it’s just sour grapes and laziness to say we won’t due to coaching. Just as the SB has been won by QBs that are not great players, plenty of SBs have been won without having a HOF coach. As the Cowboys finally become more balanced, like the Eagles (barf), the SB will be a possibility because on some days in the season and postseason, your defense has to help the offense.
