Are the Stephen Jones Years going to be worse than the Jethro Years?

[VaqueroTD]

Funny how we used to count the days til when Stephen would take over….

Now I’m starting to think we’ll have the same “success” as the Raiders when old man Al Davis croaked and his photogenic son took over.

• Contract negotiations are led by Stephen. They’ve almost all been late overpays.
• Free Agency is led by Stephen. We have spent less on quality FAs than almost every NFL Team the last few years.
• Salary Cap is led by Stephen. I’m not convinced the Cowboys have ever figured out how to make it work.
• And now… Coaching hires are led by Stephen, and the Heir Apparent Era begins with the signing of… drumroll…. Brian Schottenheimer.

His only claim to fame is he convinced Jethro to draft Zack Martin instead of Johnny Manziel.

Once thought I was going to need to outlive Jethro to see my team in the Super Bowl again, but might be adding another 20 hard years on that now for Stephen Jones.

Stephen has been entrenched in the organization for nearly 25 years at this point. Expecting anything to change is a fool's errand. The best we can hope for is that he sells the team.

 

[Centex]

I think Jerry at least loves football. I’m not convinced Stephen does.

Short answer is yes. At least Jerry earned the money to buy the Cowboys. Stephen was born into it.

Yes, think he is more the problem then his father. At least Jerry tried to make splashes in fa and the trade market.

 

[infamousstyles]

This is bad. I think he's going to be worse. He has given zero indication he is interested in winning. Only on saving money. I'm starting to come to grips that I may be a senior by the time this team finds any success. Smh.

I wonder if Jerry would agree with all of that.

Pretty sad that All Davis looks better than his son!!

I notice that Marc Davis and Stephen Jones share the same chins.

 

[Trajan]

Yes.

 

[maryquality]

I notice that Marc Davis and Stephen Jones share the same chins.

Long lost brothers, perhaps?

 

[JW82]

Absolutely. Hoping he sells the team. He doesn't seem to have the passion his screwball old man has.

 

[Aven8]

Stephen has been in charge of this team for years folks. Jerry is like the President, and Stephen is the White House staff running everything.

 

[MC88]

100%

 

[Hagman]

Stephen seems to be a very calm, rational, levelheaded leader. Or not.

 

[Fmart322]

I'll always be a Cowboys fan until I die but I'm less and less of a fan every year under Jerry and now it seems I'm never gonna see a Cowboys NFC championship game in my lifetime, let alone a Superbowl appearance.
We're all screwed.

 

[CarolinaFathead]

Stephen is cheaper, dumber, and far lazier.

So probably…

Unless he’s self aware of how limited he is as a football expert. Narcissism isn’t necessarily genetic. He could be aware enough to actually just own the team. If he just owns and operates from a distance and lets actual football people do their thing, then things could be better under his ownership. Such a novel idea…

What the hell??

 

[Teague31]

Yes. Jerry won 3 titles before dementia set in. Cap Boy will never sniff one. Ever. Dude isn’t qualified to run a lemonade stand

 

[MonsterD]

It is going to be pretty bad but who knows if it will be worse than this. Maybe he gives up and does hire someone as GM after beating his head on the wall for several years, anything could happen.
