Are Jerry Jones' fan tours a hurdle to a Cowboys Super Bowl?

[acr731]

To assume teams win because they don’t have these distractions is lazy. 90s Cowboys had no distractions? With all the crap they got into? They did but they were built different.

It was also a different time in the early 1990's - social media didn't exist. Can you imagine all the crap they did being plastered all over social media (and all over the planet) with 5 minutes if they did that stuff now? Their shenanigans were much easier to hide in 1993.

Well most would argue not only is McDonalds worse then it was 30 years ago it’s far past inferior it’s pure unhealthy garbage which sounds like the Cowboys but hey lol…..

It’s just an excuse to me. I agree culture is an issue. But this stuff is just an excuse. This is the Cowboys. We can sit here and say we suck but at the end of the day this is one do the most prolific organization in sports. We don’t get the privilege of being under the radar. We are the team to beat we are the standard thanks to Emmitt, Roger, etc.


If these guys can’t handle it they aren’t right for this team. It’s that simple. Yankees go through the same crap. Lakers do too. It’s harder for those teams than anyone else but they still do. I’m all for blaming Jerry but we know what this Penske. Is it’s 2024.

To assume teams win because they don’t have these distractions is lazy. 90s Cowboys had no distractions? With all the crap they got into? They did but they were built different. Everyone can’t be a Cowboy.

But it’s funny…all these guys complaining are without the league or playing worse. I don’t see Dalton Schultz lighting up the field what’s his excuse? Too much attention. We have to decipher truth from when excuses are being made. These guys can perform in a SB but can’t practice in front of fans? It buying it. I’ll buy crappy culture. But I can’t buy that one. It’s an excuse and I’m tired of hearing them after 28 years. If they can’t handle it don’t even come to Dallas. Do us a favor and tell us you aren’t built to play here.

99% of fast food is inferior product lol.

My point is the culture has needed to change since the 90's. Removing even the littlest of distractions can only help increase the players focus and encourage a winning culture.

Other winning teams have removed those distractions, which is why they have no excuses.

It's so gimmicky to make money that way with tours while players and coaches are engaged in practices or workouts. What's next for an additional $25 you can watch a Cowboys player munch down in the cafeteria.

Feeding time at the Zoo would be popular. Don't give Jeruh any new ideas.

Like I said... winning franchises have removed these little distractions. Tours are a distraction, however stupid/BS they seem to you.

Like I said total BS. NEXT

Yeah but it wasn’t hidden though. Yes no social media but there was radio and newspapers and word of mouth and it was just as toxic lol. It’s just not as fast as social media.

Wrong if they can’t practice and workout with distractions they aren’t going to be good game day. Sorry I totally DISAGREE WITH THIS PREMISE. THIS ISNT GOLF OR BALLET. THE CONDITIONS AND DISTRACTIONS ON GAME DAY ARE 10 fold.

Seems to me most nfl teams have fans at training camps etc. again total BS

I don’t disagree the culture is an issue. But highlighting this one aspect is an excuse. I’m not blaming tours on Dak throwing picks, Lamb running lazy routes or Diggs not tackling. It’s an excuse. Now culture as a whole? I agree. I’m not letting this talk of tours hide the fact the Cowboys didn’t sign a running back this offseason. It’s a distraction.

Now that I think about it I’m for the tours. If you can’t practice during tou s you can’t play for the Cowboys. Get them out of here.

THIS PREMISE IS REDCIUSLOS AND IGNORANT

Bold> It may be a talk-to-text software update to fix that.

Pretty good article from the players perspective on the The Star tours vs other teams and their affect on winning cultures.

It's also important to remember these guys are human, no matter how much money they have.

These players are used to playing in front of tens of thousands of people each week. I find it unlikely that running into a group of 30 people in the hallway would alter a players ability to perform.

Now do I think Jones meddling in day to day operations and also landing his helicopter in the middle of practice is an issue? Yes

During the 2010 pre-season, Jerry moved the Cowboys to three different locations. In addition, he volunteered the team for the Hall of Fame game that year.

Jerry was focused on marketing the team and widening the fan base.

That was a real shame because the Super Bowl was being played at AT&T that season and the Cowboys had just come off a really good 2009 season. that might have been something worthy of jerry's focus.

It was barely discussed. it was like everyone forgot or didn't think it was important.

Didn't really matter after all. The injuries piled up during the preseason, they lost most of their O-line and had to find starters off other teams. In addition, the OC, Jason Garrett, was terrified of calling two running plays in a row. There were times when they would pass the ball 12 to 14 times in a row.

In all of the first six games, there was a one score difference halfway through the 4th quarter and they still wouldn't run the ball. It was inevitable that Romo would go down and miss the rest of the season.

They started out 1-7. Wade was fired after the Packer loss. Incidentally, it was the Packers who would host the Super Bowl.....in AT&T.

Fan tours are nothing compared to the way that Jerry has sabotaged entire seasons.

They get to share a table

The team is bad with or without the tours

It definitely shouldn't, but also: it definitely doesn't help.

Look this is an especially mentally fragile group of Dallas Cowboys.

This is a team more concerned with everything else other than playing respectable, competitive football.

Unless the tourists are interfering with routes or wandering into the pracice play, the players should shuddup.

yeah this whole place borders on ridiculous yes it means what it means

is there a single reason that we are not getting to even a CCG? no. but there are 100 things that add up. these tours are part of it. Jerry's constant meddling. lack of FA signings. bad drafts. bad contracts. keeping players to the end of their contracts because you don't want to have dead money, flying in with a helicopter into practice, on and on and on....it all adds up
