CFZ A list of Off-season “What if’s” for the Jones Boys

[Bobhaze]

Here’s a dream I have that will probably never happen- A list of “What if’s“ for JJ and SJ this off-season:

• What if Jerry and Stephen Jones didn’t talk to the press until after the draft?
  • Absolutely No interviews. No bus interviews. Go dark.
  • They could release a carefully vetted statement on occasion- just to avoid telling the rest of the league who they’re going release beforehand then only getting a 5th round pick in a trade- like Cooper last year!
  • They would actually be more interesting for them to be quiet.

• What if JJ and SJ spent some time sequestered this off-season listening and learning instead of talking?
  • Learning about about how to make this roster better. Listening to input on some bold moves that are risks worth taking.
  • There are several wise former GMs that had success or even a guy like Troy Aikman that could give them some brutally honest assessments of where they could sharpen this roster in ways they don’t see.

• What if the Jones Boys stopped assuming they’re “this close” and instead assumed they are several bold moves away?
  • What if in their inner sanctum, the Jones boys said, “We need help because our way isn't working. Our way isn’t good enough.”
  • What if they said, “We want to approach this off-season differently”…?

• What if the Jones boys let their action do the talking?
  • What if for once they just shut up and worked?
  • By avoiding the press for 2 months, they could actually build more excitement by saying nothing!
  • What if all we knew about the Cowboys off-season was what they did- not what the Jones boys said?

What if we had a great off-season? Instead of a typical one.
What if….?

What if...the Jones' worked as management employees of another NFL team. With their track record....they would get fired.

Being incredibly rich while playing fantasy football front office is a great gig. Why be silent when you can get a ton of attention every time you open your mouth?

Win? Lose? Doesn't matter. The money rolls in and the spotlight never fades. Winning would just be the icing on the cake.

When some say these guys want to win, it’s pretty obvious they don’t want to win bad enough. An unquenchable desire to win usually means changes. Not here.

 

[ShortRound]

I actually chuckled. I think it would drive Jerry crazy to not be in the news about something. He loves the limelight.

 

[noshame]

I can sum it up with one sentence

You people are just fans, WE'RE FOOTBALL PEOPLE!!!!

 

[big dog cowboy]

What if Jerry and Stephen Jones didn’t talk to the press until after the draft?

Why stop there?

 

[Diehardblues]

Not the changes we all know is necessary.

It is what it is. I’m wore out beating my head against the wall . I warned everyone almost 20 years ago .

Perhaps it’s time we all lower our expectations and wave the white flags waiting for this old fool to kick the bucket if we aren’t going to take more action.

That’s the only way I’ve learned to tolerate the Jethro Jone$ era.

It was funny that on one of the DC Podcasts they were saying they weren't allowed to disclose who was likely to stay......not for sensible football strategy, but because it would spoil Jerry's fun.

That's a lot of "what ifs". And sadly, we all know none of them will come to fruition.

They have too much fun doing things their way to consider anything else. Plus, if they actually get lucky they can take full credit for it.

They are basically super rich guys playing at the craps table. Their FO philosophy: keep rolling those dice every year and sooner or later- maybe on the 28th dice roll- we win. Then they take “credit”…

What amazes me….Jerry still thinks if he gets lucky and wins one that people are going to respect him as a “football guy” and ignore the three decades of failure.

They aren't even capable of getting lucky. They would have fallen backwards in to a conference title game appearance at least once if luck were part of the equation. That was part of the bargain for Jerry's soul.

Never going to happen. You have a better chance of hitting the lottery.

I just think they have a different definition of winning than you, me, and everyone else that equates super bowls to winning. Their idea of winning is measured on a P&L, and in media mentions.
