Blaming Jerry is the lazy way out

[OGSixshooter]

All I know is Kraft ABSOLUTELY should be bitter about Jerry the Clown making it into the HOF for MARKETING ...while all Kraft has done is built the best professional FOOTBALL TEAM in pro sports.

 

[OGSixshooter]

total horsecrap

only morons think its all about the QB

every team that has won the SB had more then just a top QB; and many teams have won with an average QB

Only morons call people names without proving WHY. First, you argued a point that I never did and second your answers ONLY PROVE MY POINT. Blaming "everything" on Jerry IS LAZY.

Lazy, little mind who gets triggered at the thought of a challenge.

You've been warned...and I had my morning coffee....don't play with me....

 

[OGSixshooter]

Jerry himself has said EVERY decision regarding the Cowboys goes through him as either the owner or GM, and it's lazy to blame him? Lol, sorry but no

Anyone who believes this has been duped too. Jerry can't handle all that at 83 and couldn't at 43. That's marketing...you would think this country would get shady marketing tactics by now.

Reading all these posts about the Patriots and Rams rebuilding while we sit here stuck in the mud made me realize something.

We love to use Jerry as a shield. It's comfortable. It's easy. But honestly, blaming Jerry for the last 30 years is letting the actual players and coaches off the hook.

I know the counter-argument: "Jerry is cheap in Free Agency." And yeah, for a long time, he was. We all hated the bargain bin shopping years. But look at where the money actually goes.

First, he pays the homegrown talent. He resets the market for our own guys constantly. He didn't cheap out on Dak. He didn't cheap out on CeeDee. When we have a star, they get paid top dollar.

Second, the roster is always considered "stacked." Every single August, the national media talks about how loaded our roster is. We at times have some of the highest numbers of Pro Bowlers in the league. You can nitpick a bust here and there, but generally, the GM puts a potential playoff-caliber roster on the field every year.

Third, the "All-In" move. We finally screamed for a big trade, and he went out and got Quinnen Williams and George Pickens. He actually pushed the chips in.

My point is this: The front office does its job by assembling a playoff-caliber roster. They hand over a team loaded with talent. The failure lies with the coaches who can't maximize that talent and the players who disappear in big moments. The resources are there; the execution is what's missing.

When we lose in the playoffs, have losing seasons, is it because Jerry has an ego? Or is it because we have a locker room full of professionals who consistently fold when they get punched in the mouth? The Patriots are in the Super Bowl because their players executed. Ours didn't.

Blaming the owner feels good, but he gave them a loaded deck and they still couldn't win the hand. At some point, we have to stop yelling at the guy in the owner's box and start demanding more from the guys wearing the star.

...like Romo mentioned, we've had some good teams in the past.

Cant catch the breaks, that is all.

So yeah, Jerry is scapegoat for many. Personally for me, its arbitrary situation.

To many factors, contribute to winning formula.

BUT ....I'll say this I put the lapse of 25' season on Jerry. Should have fired Eberjoke mid -season.

Everything pointed to it.

I'll grant you that "everybody needs to do their job", there are failings at every level, etc.... but c'mon, it's the circus culture and complete lack of focus on building a balanced team for 30yrs,,, that's the GM. It's not lazy, it's accurate.

Jerry is mostly to blame. The bucks stops here!

However, players and coaches should not be absolved.

Look at some of the tackling this season, and tell us Jerry told them do do it like that.

Not.

of course they are not absolved. but they are symptoms of the problem.

you get sick and throw up...that's a symptom. cause could be cancer! cure the cancer. not fix the throw up, because you might lose it at the other end if you don't address the root cause.

Second, the roster is always considered "stacked."

With all due respect, the defensive side of the ball hasn't been considered "stacked" since 1996.

Yes, we've had a few great players throughout the years but when you consider the a DT wasn't selected in the first round from 1991 to 2023.

Thats over 30 years of no DT in the 1st rd and Jerrys reluctance to make up for it in FA has created one of the softest defenses in a 1/4 century.

Jones owns that.

good teams don't need to wait for luck. good teams make their own luck and never blame luck for their short comings. that's what losers do.

upon further review. knowing Jerry and his marketing focus, you must work for the cowboys organization, probably monitoring and being members of multiple forums to inject pro-jerry BS. those are signs of Jerry desparation. too obvious. you could have been a little more coy.

this sounded so much like a marketing post, from Jerry. it sounded like jerry. same excuses and defending jerry, defending him to a fault. as you have been ordered to do so.

so come clean? or I will oust you by tracking your MAC address and your UUID to cowboys organization network. you can't hide those....all the logs are there.

That's some major excuse making, not to mention falling for the Eber hate when it was Jerry who failed to acquire competent D players in the off. Maybe do a bit more analyzing before posting?

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I'm just trying to figure out how or why Stephen Jones chose the name SoupcanSam to post on this forum.....

that's somebody on the Cowboys org marketing team. they have some folks members of several forums. posting pro-jerry comments.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Jerry doesn’t hire elite coaches because he doesn’t want to give them autonomy

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

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Jerry needs to read "NFL Ownership for Dummies."

wait wait wait....too much. too hard. he has to start with NFL Coloring book. specially now that he is senile

 

[kskboys]

OK, but NOT blaming Jerry is the delusional way out!!!!!!

 

[Ironicalicon]

Make yourself the owner or GM of any NFL team (besides Dallas) right now and objectively look at how the Cowboys are managed. Is there one person on here that wouldn't come to the conclusion that Dallas has the worst GM in the league and wonder why he's still employed? Would any of you still be employed with your company after 30 years of this? Jerry is only employed because he owns the Cowboys.

I don't think he's the worst but definitely one of the worst. The reason the regular season record doesn't reflect that is he's been lucky with Romo (undrafted) and Dak (4th round pick) being good enough that they have saved the team from being perennially bad.

 

[triplets_93]

wait wait wait....too much. too hard. he has to start with NFL Coloring book. specially now that he is senile

So make it a cartoon informational video. Like Walt Disney used to do for all kinds of things.

The Cowboys have had some real stud players in the time JJ has owned this team, but they've had far more DUD players that have been led to the Cowboy's 3 decade long downfall. Who's fault is that? I'd say you have to start with the GM, who has been the Cowboy's GM for all of those decades..................... Thus, Jerry Jones has to take most of the blame for this piss poor team.

I think he's so bad he doesn't even rate 32nd. He's simply not an NFL GM, and has gone out of his way to prove it.

Just curious,

Who do you hold accountable for hiring these coaches?

Who do you hold accountable for bad signings and contracts?

If the GM puts together "playoff caliber rosters", who do you hold accountable for only winning 5 playoff games in 30 years?

The Cowboys are the only NFC team who have not participated in a conference championship game since 1995. Who should be held accountable?
