Another sign we’re close?

[Corso]

You should because when the topic is who is running the team and you respond with "oh, I guess that was a bad decision!" you clearly are in over your head.

Like Jaylon Smith is your gimp 4evah?
You know... your "circus freak who will never be an NFL player"?

Yeah... you suck.

Jerry is still running things .Don't fall for it.

Yep. Jerry’s still the owner.. imagine that. Good. I don’t fall for all the flat out haters of their so-called “favorite” team. Whatever...

I don’t care what people ignorantly say ab Jerry. Our Hall of Fame owner has done more for the league than any other owner. Still has one more SB than any other Cowboy owner. Has never acted like he didn’t want to win. Is the man perfect? No.. neither is anyone else on this site. Deal with it and quit holding others to a higher standard than you hold for yourself. I can assure you Jerry has accomplished more than you’ll ever dream.

I’m tired of the cry babies that constantly want to hang their crappy lives on a man that’s surely enjoying his.. then calling themselves fans of this mans team. Lol, it’s laughable.

Jerry has spent millions of his own money doing everything from hiring established coaches, elite players, new stadiums, drafting well, etc.. etc.. Dallas had opportunities of winning it all over the last couple of decades, but for reasons beyond Jerry.. it just hasn’t happened. Grab a tissue and get over it. It’s called football.

The players on the field are the ones to blame. The teams Jerry built had atleast a chance to win a SB, that’s more than I can say for about half the owners in the NFL. Our team has a real good chance this year..We had a chance last year, likewise in 2016, 2014, 2009, 2007, 2006, 2003.. etc, etc..Also other years when injuries or suspensions derailed the team. As a owner or GM, all you can do is build a team that can compete.. and that’s exactly what he’s doing. We should be thankful.

So go ahead and regurgitate the lies of most haters that talk bad about Jerry and act like the man doesn’t care.. that’s actually never been said by anyone that actually know the man.

Clearly.

Carry on with your crusade.

Irrelevant.

If it came down to something Jerry Jones really wants, he has the final say.

Yes, but if the PERCEPTION is fostered that Jerry relinquished some of that power for the good of the team, might it change SOME people’s view of the Cowboys?

A believer in discord will never spout but venom, until he sees a Lombardi trophy and his last excuse shattered.

True! Some will NEVER be happy!

 

[Diehardblues]

I didn’t realize we actually had fans Slobbering over Jerry. Lol

I’m hoping this is just a segment of overly homeristic fans which defend everything Cowboys not realizing its Jerry who’s preventing our franchise from more normal football operations.

 

[ESisback]

Slobbering? I disagree. A balanced perspective is/should be the goal.

 

[Ranching]

...the fact that commentators are now saying Stephen and Will McClay, and not Jerry, are running things.

Discuss....

Jerry won 3 superbowls. How many have these clowns won? I'll be excited when we bring in a real football mind to run things.

Some of us can acknowledge points of real progress:

It’s not hard to guess the Cowboys 2016 draft was a winner.

3rd Year Grade: A+

It was a tour de force for McClay and the Jones family. They deserve the praise.

It's still Jerry World at Cowboys' HQ, but I think he listens more to information before approving important stuff of most things all through the organization.
Otherwise, why be in the war room at draft time or in front of cameras instead of sipping JWB on his boat? He is letting SJ and McClay be more visible and vocal. And, JG deferred to Jerry about Zeke.
Silent consent or decisive words - both speak volumes.

When you mention 3 Super Bowls, they say it was all Jimmy. I liken Jerry To Gene Simmons—giant ego, womanizer, innovator, etc. An iconic salesman, a great showman, intelligent and driven, but gets himself in trouble with his mouth. Accomplished, but an average bass player who’s made many questionable choices. Now I doubt very seriously that Jerry spits blood and fire in makeup and monster boots, but I’d guess you can see the parallels.

All you need to do is watch Garrett and Son when they're flanking Booger at a pc. I don't watch them anymore but I assume they're the same. Reminds me of the sons around when the Godfather speaks.

That one shot during the McGovern pick should make anyone think twice about who is in charge because Booger pretty much shut everything down when he said "take McGovern".....end of discussion.

What I don't get is why is anyone is such a hurry to say that Booger is acquiescing control of HIS team. They all work for him and he's always run his own company.

And this theory that McClay is the mastermind behind the improved player acquisitions is ludicrous to me. He makes recommendations, he's the talent coordinator and not the decision maker. He's a player personnel specialist and helps set up the draft board but he doesn't participate in the draft. He's the buffet master. He can take Booger to the buffet, point out his recommendations but Booger fills his own plate. And he doesn't do this in a vacuum, he uses advice from a number of people.

 

[Diehardblues]

We’ll see how much influence Cheapskate Son has over Daddy Jethro in Dakster contract.

If we pay a 15th ranked QB top 5 money then I’d argue Football Idiot is trying to make a splash. If not and we play more hardball negotiating a contract to fit our QB2 skill set then I might begin giving Cheapskate Son more credit.

I think it’s fairly obvious why some fans are eager to grasp this fabrication because it gives them more hope if they believe The Football Idiot isn’t as involved or making all the decisions.

But he has a history of making better decisions with greater influence like he had with Bill and Jimmy.

 

[Demboyz88]

Jerry maybe listening to others imput more often, but he still has the final say. Just watch the clip of the draft when there was a possibility of them trading the pick before they chose Mcgovern

Why do you call him cheapskate? Doesn't he butt up against the cap? I am not a fan but the guy either gets hit for spending too much or not enough.

I think we consider that job easier than it really is. It's not just about balancing the ledger but getting the talent balance right as well. And since only one guy has proven he can consistently do it and he does that through 0 loyalty, I don't think I could do that even given the length of time Son has been in training.

They all want to emulate Belichick but how many really can have 0 allegiance to any coach or player? Who can remove the human element from decision making and live with that?

Do we think that Lawrence's enthusiastic acceptable of being tagged didn't play into his contract? Just like I think Bryant's threats to no show for his played into his departure.

We see them as players but those on the inside know them as people and that can really throw a turd in the pudding.

Smart money is on the loyalty of players on a strong team...that part is watered well.

Jerry still runs things!

No! Stephen now runs things!

Will McClay!

Quite a debate going about something no one here actually knows, and it doesn't matter anyway. We're just fans. We can choose to either support the Cowboys or not. I still do, but it's not as easy or with the same fervor as it was in the past. It's more out of curiosity at this point.
