Are you wondering if Jerry will give up the GM role?

Here lies the man that who couldn't do it without Jimmy Johnson.

You know Jimmy is laughing inside.

“When He’ll freezes over.”
“When Jerry gives up GM duties.”

Yes he will
One day the good Lord will take it from him

I didn't think that anybody that has been following the Cowboys believed Jerry was going to step down. It's the one topic that Jerry has been absolutely consistent about.

I don't think Jerry has considered an "heir" to the Cowboys ownership because I don't think Jerry has considered mortality. Judging from his management of the team, he's not big on planning for the future.

This is insightfully true.

And Jerry only changes things cosmetically and always in a reactive way only after things get so bad there’s no other option. His highest commitment is to himself and his profits. Winning football games isn’t in his top 3 priorities anymore. Being proactive regarding his “work” as GM never happens. He is the most reactive GM I’ve ever seen because he has no accountability.

What does her loyalty to a friend have to do with her calling for dinner and drinks?
.
I don't understand if you're trying to be funny in some obscure manner, trying to make a point in some obscure manner, ragging her for loyalty, or ragging me for choosing to spend an evening with a 41 year old woman?

AND what does her being long in the tooth have to do with whether Booger will ever give up being GM?

On my way home from work Thursday night I was listening to 105.3 The Fan and the hosts (I assume they weren't the ones Jerry threatened to fire) mentioned that Jerry was recently asked if he plans to remain the GM until the day he dies. Not surprisingly, he said that is exactly what he is going to do.

These hypotheticals and questions concerning whether or not we will forgive Jerry should he decide to step down are good for conversation, but the reality is they are a waste of time. Jerry will have to croak before any changes to the front office occur. Now, Jerry is 82 and that time might come at any moment, but the thought that he might hang on another 10 or 15 years isn't exactly good news for anyone clamoring for change.

Maybe we will get lucky and Jerry goes full blown Al Davis crazy before he kicks it. We're already laughing at the franchise along with the rest of the planet, maybe that could provide us a little more entertainment before the end comes.

Never thought he would.

Our only chance w/ Jerry as GM would be for him to get desperate and hire a Tuna/Bellychickens type and give him quite a bit of power. Could that happen? I guess.

The problem is Stephan will be worse. Jerry has some panache and will take risks. Stephan appears to be an accountant type, zero risk, zero FA, just make a boring team that will never win but makes money.

Hopeful one of the grandkids who takes over someday is competent, that’s really the only hope.

 

[G2]

No.

The issue is and has been that we are not in a position to be bad enough to draft an impact QB. The last time that we were, we won superbowls. We never had our blow it up and start over moment, because JJ the businessman has established that being relevant is more important than winning the SB. To be relevant we can never blow it up.. we have to add pieces here and there each year with no direction of who is our identity from year to year.

We can't win the SB until we change the QB, we can change the QB until we blow it up. We can't blow it up, until we're ok to be bad for a few years.
Once the Lions... yes, the Detroit Lions who were ran into the ground by the Fords for the better part of 30 years got it right. There really is no more excuses anymore. People are asking to change the GM.. when we really need to see this team bottom out and start over just one time to setup the next 15 years.
