A Scotch With Jerry

You may want to think twice about having drinks with Jerry it would probably end with him asking you for an erotic massage.

I wouldn't need to get drunk to chew him out. It's better if Jerry and I never meet. I'll make George Costanza's meeting with Steinbrenner look like Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.

I know there is tons of teeth gnashing around here and over this season and the last 30 for that matter. But I would honestly love to buy two bottles of Johnny Walker Blue (and maybe a half gallon of Crown Reserve- I digress) and sit down with Jerry Jones for a few hours of drinking whiskey and honest football conversation with Jerry.

I wouldn’t be a bashing of Jerry, or an I told you so, but I would absolutely enjoy hearing what Jerry had to say from his viewpoint about the seasons since 1995. What went right, what went wrong. The team and ownership’s philosophy.

I wonder if I would view things differently as a season ticket holder than I do now. I may be different than many here, but I believe the Cowboys have done many things right since 1995, but the Cowboys have one glaring weakness in that time that I believe has derailed all of the good decisions the Cowboys have made—and there were many right decisions.

The elephant in the room since 1995 is that we overpay mediocre or washed up players too much money which has killed the salary cap. No other issue since 1995 has been even remotely in the category as that #1 mistake.

That mistake has had a cascading effect on every other part and every other issue raised in the organization. The same issue couched in different terms is paying a player going forward based on past production instead of that player’s production in upcoming years.

It’s a shame that I will never get an opportunity to do that, because I think it would be a hell of a good time, and probably pretty enlightening.

Yes he's made a plethora of mistakes over paying his own, but let's be real. He can still sign FAs. They've adopted an ultra conservative approach which has proven not to work.

The thing about sitting down with him is you'll have to interpret whether he's gaslighting you or he truly believes what he says. I can't see where that "honest" conversation doesn't end in frustration. You can of course, sit there and choose to go along with it, that's apparently what everyone else in his circle does. McClay, MM, and most before them are complicit as well.

We are literally dealing with the same problems we've had since CJ Anderson and the Rams ran us out of the playoffs in 2018. There's no excuse for not fixing it.
