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

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.

Feels that way, hopefully Jerry just wants the team sold.

I hope they do too.
I hope they have an ugly family squabble for control after Jerruh dies.
The control may very well pass to Jerruh's widow( instead of his kids ) until she dies.
It could easily get into a jealous fight for control when jerruh dies.
If jerruh had a clear cut succession plan, wouldn't we have heard about it?
I think right now they are in a cost cutting mode with free agency, and with coaching and staff contracts so they can line the 3 kids' pockets with hundreds of millions each every year, so if one wants bought out when that day comes, the other two can buy him or her out. Jmo.
