Al Davis = Jerry Jones

[MONT17]

Someone told me Al DAvis started out like Jerry Jones in terms of running his team. Al Davis was looked at as a inovator and a Maverick in some nfl circles much like Jerry Jones. Both owners are mainly driven by winning their way and their way only, they must call the shots. Secondly, they are driven by making money with little regard to the cba, both making back alley deals excluding fellow owners.


Recently, both owners have let go their best WRs and have not received much in return, after personalities they could not control clashed in the locker room. Both owners watch, as Top draft picks fail to live up to the teams expectations, and are released with little remorse. Both owners have had limited success in the past decade with coaches who have had success in other cities.


Personally, I would rather have Jerry over Al but Im not sure why? I guess that is the Homer in me!

This thread = The last straw for the originator. He just made my ignore list.

MONT17=Nors(not saying he's the same poster just his equal)

He's already made my ignore list, but it doesn't elimate threads he starts.

 

[CoCo]

I have to believe the OP chuckles as he begins another thread that he knows will illicit the theme of responses this one has seen thus far.

It so screams "look at me".

Al Davis = Jerry Jones

If you're talking about hideous grills, you might have a point.
I'm not sure which owner should be more insulted by the comparison.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Jerry Jones is nothing like Al Davis!

The Raiders have actually won playoff games, and played in a Super Bowl during the past ten years.

I kid. I kid.:

 

[fan62]

Al Davis was stupid enough to fire Shanahan in his prime. Jerry Jones will probably be stupid enough to hire Shanahan when the game has passed him by.

Someone lied to you. Right to your face. They bald faced lied and you accepted it as fact and posted it.

There is very little that is similar about the way they got their starts in the NFL.

Let me know if you ever want to know the difference. I'll be happy to educate you, but it will be up to you to actually remember the information. The big difference will be I won't be talking out of my *** like the "someone" you listened to.

Everyone knows that Jerry Jones was a line coach and later Head Coach in college football. Everyone knows Jerry Jones coached Army.

Heck Jerry Jones was even an O-end coach with a professional football team in the 60s.

Heck everyone knows Jerry Jones was actually the AFL commissioner.

But I doubt you get much argument from him, he tends to be a drive by one and done type of troll.

This is a recent article in regards to Al Davis. It's actually a pretty good one. (Imagine that, from ESPN.) And it makes a small point about how he's different from Jerry and Little Danny.

When an owner loves too much



By Peter Keating
ESPN The Magazine

After firing Lane Kiffin last fall, Al Davis told reporters, "The tuck game was the undoing of a lot of things." He was talking about a game played in 2002.
This article appears in the July 13th issue of ESPN The Magazine.

It's tempting to think that most sports problems would go away if only the gazillionaire owners would act more like fans. If they bled team colors like we do, they'd never let beloved free agents walk or threaten to leave town unless they got new stadiums…right?

Well, no. Being a fanatic and an owner means never having to admit you've gone too far. Just ask Al Davis, whose Raiders are one of only three franchises to finish in the bottom 10 (out of 122 teams) in our Standings each of the past three years. (The others are the Knicks, who finished last in 2008, and the Lions, last in 2007.) Since losing Super Bowl XXXVII, Oakland has churned through head coaches (four) and QBs (nine) on its way to an embarrassing 2472 record, wrecking one of the great brands in the history of sports. But admit it: If you got your hands on a pro team, you'd probably run it the way Davis does. Drafting big-name superathletes: Darren McFadden! JaMarcus Russell! Throwing money at key players: $45 million to Nnamdi Asomugha! Publicly savoring every victory, while stewing over defeats for years. That's no exaggeration: After firing Lane Kiffin last fall, Davis talked with reporters about the Raiders' recent history and concluded, "The Tuck Game was the undoing of a lot of things." He was referring to a game in 2002.

Davis' real problem is one of vintage. Since resettling the Raiders in Oakland in 1995, he's failed to address new-era questions that old-time owners didn't have to worry about. Who controls ticket sales? (The Raiders surrendered theirs for years to Alameda County.) Are you maxing out on luxury suites? (Not even close.) Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder have figured out how to snag dozens of millions in unshared revenues, and they've become the larger-than-life personalities Davis used to be. So, they've had the cash to make up for personnel mistakes. And Davis hasn't.

There is hope: Davis, 80, now has three minority partners with Wall Street backgrounds. So maybe they'll get him to act on the lesson all Raiders fans have learned the hard way: It takes professionalism as well as passion to just win, baby.

All it took was read the original post to know this was a waste of space. For that matter, the title.
