Blaming Jerry is the lazy way out

[G2]

Nobody else can be blamed for ANYthing?

Jerry doesn't miss tackles or drop footballs. Yes..he hired them...but....why do players get a free pass...nothing is their fault...EVER?

Dude....

Please, just go away, you're annoying.

I think it's Jerry's culture that is the worst.

It cant be every coach and all the players.. It is Jerry

100%. Its a culture of comfort and softness. Even parcels the toughest coach couldn't overcome that culture. The example that always jumps out is that moment under garrett where Zeke had that awful game and jerry decided to jump ahead of jason to talk to the team and tell them everything will be alright, when they probably needed a chewing out from their head coach. Softness and comfort.

Look you can't blame anybody else. The buck stops with Jerry. He controls all things. He is the owner. It's always up to the owner to do what's in the best interest of his team now since he's also the general manager. He's also the guy that's in that's supposed to have a plan of what they need to do and that's Jerry's biggest flaw is that there is no cohesive plan. He puts these things together and it's all kind of independent based on who he's talking to and listening to at the time. It needs to be a cohesive plan with a set set of goals. How this team is going to operate who they're going to pay, how it's going to be built. All of that needs to be in alignment and that can't happen when you're not a football guy trying to do football operations. So yes it is Jerry's fault. Whatever their question is, it's all on. Jerry, if he wants it to be on somebody else he needs to hire a GM. He needs to hire a football guy to put the plan together and the vision together until he does that. He can't blame anybody else because there is nobody else. It's all him

Well since you say so...sure!

Note: a person with good sense would just use the ignore function.

I don't use lame ignore features, gasbags should hear they're annoying. You quoted me with yet another gem of a take.

Jerry Jones gets credit for purchasing the franchise and bringing in Jimmy Johnson. Fact.
Johnson brought in his own staff and built the roster. Fact.
The team won Super Bowls because Jerry handled non-football decisions and not meddling with the roster. Fact.
After Johnson left and the Juggernaut he built wore off, the franchise would be a 3 decade long cesspool. Fact.

Anyone who doesn't understand how bad Jones is as a GM needs their meds adjusted.

The Irony of it all is: The Op created a Jerry is to blame thread, because they were lazy and didn't provide examples, specifics, and names of players and coaches that deserve to be blamed as well for the bad season...

I see the problem. I've been trying to "affect" change instead of effect change. SB, here we come!

You have yet to say what you object about in my comment. Just throwing around insults.

It's not me that's the problem here. Let's try a mature discussion. Maybe if you actually say what the problem is you can convince I'm wrong. About whatever the heck you are talking about.

Not sure if I can help or not.

But of COURSE "Jerry is to blame". It's the ultimate buck stops here regardless of any other aspect.

BUT....If players and coaches do not execute...they are blameless? I don't understand why not. MAybe they NEED fired, maybe not...still have a job to do.

 

[fivetwos]

and they cost too much. there is coaches dead money you know.

Major problem in the NFL….according to one.

It really comes down as to why they don't execute. In the case of Murray, for example, he doesn't execute because he completely lacks the instincts to do so. He has been this way since he entered the league in 2020. Completely 100% Jerry's fault.

Diggs: Never could cover. Gave up the most yards in the NFL when he had 11 picks. You don't pay CBs who can't cover huge amounts. On Jerry

Bland: See above.

S's: None of them can cover. On Jerry.

Sanborn: Not an NFL starter. On Jerry
Wilson: See above

This is how it's on Jerry. He is employing a pile of players who cannot play at an NFL level.

Steele: Decent run blocker, terrible pass blocker: On Jerry
Guyton: Project pick in the 1st round. On Jerry.

No one forced Jerry to be the GM, he not only took it on himself, he insists on it. And he is not an NFL GM. He's so bad he's not even 32nd.

I'm not sure I see the problem, as I do see threads blaming the coaching staff and players. How many Eberflus threads were there before he got fired? Seems like quite a few to me, and then he got terminated. Schotty got plenty of criticism too, with many people one here not thinking he should've been hired in the first place. Players get their criticism usually right after a game. I said it all comes down to timing and usually the GM gets talked about at the end of the season. You said you believe that coaches and players should be also evaluated by the fan base as well. If that is what you feel, then post a thread detailing how they went wrong.

I'm not debating how or when criticism happens, nor my right to create threads. I'm sticking to the topic of this thread.

Okay....I'll admit I'm not competent enough to assess individuals' abilities and skills in such sure detail.

I've seen Malik Hooker tackle before...so I know he can tackle just fine. THIS year....I saw him back up five yards on a sideline tackle instead of driving through like i watched playoff defenses do.

Again....ultimately, at the end of the day, end of the season...whatever you want to call it....Jerry's responsibility to handle it.

But I'm still gonna blame Hooker for not doing things right.

I suppose I'm at an impasse here...still don't see how it's so unreasonable.

 

[Captain-Crash]

Well, I agree with Jer, you have to pick some crappy players to find the ones who are just above crappy. This way you don't lose a bunch of money picking good players.

 

[30yearsstillwaiting]

He’s the one constant over the past 30 yrs. If he worked as a GM for another organization he would have been fired. He has the luxury of it being his Forbes winner. It’s always the obvious problems with the teams/positions over the years that the ownership has failed to recognize.

Hooker is a SS type playing FS, and can't stay on the field.

No idea about 1 play, that's not enough to make a judgment.

If Hooker was that bad, then he should've been replaced. On Jerry.

Okay...now we're getting somewhere. I do apologize that I can;t remember every single play I saw.

But...how is it Jerry should decide to keep or replace a player? By critiquing them? Assign credit and blame?

That's what I'm doing.

Start at the bottom and work your way to the top. Not gonna start at the top and stop there. We already know all there is to know there.
