"After Jerry's rant how can you do anything but root against this team"
Why in the world would a Cowboy fan root against the Cowboys? Sounds like a pretty crappy fan to me
Not if it's in the best interest of the team. Sustained success, even if it hasn't been at championship level, is what's kept ownership out of hot water. 12-5 for 3 consecutive seasons has given him all the ammo he needs to say "well...uh....look, I know we haven't accomplished the goals we've set....but uhhmmm...winning 12 games in a season isn't easy to do. We're close. I believe in this roster we've built, and I believe the players that I've paid hundreds of millions of dollars will elevate their game and take us where we need to go".
You take that away from him and we're already starting to see his ego fall apart. JJ made some really bad decisions this offseason. Retaining McCarthy without extending him. Hiring a new DC with a new scheme on a 1 year deal. Refusing to do anything in free agency after a good portion of contributors walked. Relying on rookies to fill the shoes of long time quality starters and contributors. Extending Dak and Lamb without addressing the trenches or run game. He was complacent and chose to rest on the last three seasons, thinking the results would replicate themselves on their own. His ego got us into this mess, and now we see opposing fans overrunning Cowboys Stadium. We see opposing teams throttling his highly paid superstars. We're seeing historically bad results on our home turf. It's exactly what this franchise needs right now to temper the legendary Jones ego.
We could maybe win some games and close out the season with a record right around .500, but what does that accomplish? We still have the primary problem of the last three decades running the show and doing as he pleases. We still have a bunch of overpaid crybabies running to Jerral when the big mean coach does something they don't like. We still have the same mediocre culture we've seen since the turn of the century. Nothing changes, other than whichever puppet HC and coordinators Jerral chooses to do his bidding. Where does that get us? Exactly where we've been. Not good enough. If the historically bad home performances continue, the fanbase will force JJ into doing something he doesn't want to do. Give up control to somebody that knows how to build a championship team. I'll always bleed blue, and Dallas is my NFL team for life, but knowing all of this, I'm having a hard time getting behind this year's version of the Cowboys. I don't necessarily hope they fail, but it's looking like that's what will happen, and I'm not upset about it.
