I love it when our fans act like Jerry Jones is the only guy that makes poor decisions in the front office in the NFL, like the other 31 owners and GMs get it right 10 times out of 10.

Why should I care about another teams GM when I'm not a fan of them?

Who wanted to draft Demarcus Ware over Spears?

Nice call.

I dont like Jerry's "All eyes on me" attitude, but I've always thought questioning him as an owner or GM is a joke.

The dude is one of the best in the league. And that's real talk.

As long as writers big up Jerry like this he will never step down. It's nice to have these little fluff articles to big up Jerry's ego.....:rolleyes:

How right was Jerry about RW?

I remember before we got him EVERYBODY wanted Roy or Fitz. Now all of a sudden since he's on our team he's terrible?

He will finish the season strong I guarantee it.

wow.

Why do people have this impression that jason garrett is a moron or something.

Fans who cry about playcalling everyweek, and media members usually show themselves to be idiots over time. complaining about playcalling is the simpleton thing to do and plenty of them do it...every week.

13 years without a playoff win is an inescapable fact, and as such, means Jerry Jones is one of the three worst GMs in football.

He never said we took a step back. He just didn't like the idea of starting a new QB mid-season when he thought the team that started that season has a chance to make the playoffs. It makes perfect sense, even if you were rooting for Romo to start that season.

99% of the time, switching QBs mid-season isn't a good thing.

Exactly right. I didn't like the move, I'm not gonna lie. I thought starting fresh with an unknown was a white flag type of move.

And I'm glad Jerry wants Barber closing. What Jerry wants, Jerry gets.

Meh, Quincy Carter, Dave Campo, Chan Gailey, Chad Huchinson, on and on and on.

so if you go on and on and on then you will be adding Jimmy's failures, Switzer's, Parcell's, which would make Jerry's list bigger than it really is.

I will say this again Jerry 9 times out of 10 gets the players his coaches want.

Oh he's right about RW too, it has taken some time but RW and TR are clicking now and you will continue to see that grow against the Chargers and so on and so forth.

For the same reason that some think he can walk on water.

I don't think he's great or horrible. I think he's middle of the road.

This is b/s and is not true at all. It's been addressed numerous times too.

You must be outside your mind, this is a legit article and true.

You're a fool if you think anything short of a casket will take Jerry away from the game.

No amount of articles will ever change that man.

The article has some points that are true but it fails to mention all the players and moves that Jerry bombed on. Jerry's got a far greater number of misses but the ones he has hit on have looked pretty good.

Everybody is hit and miss, even Hall of Fame coaches. Talent entices, but it just doesn't always come through.

When GM/coaches are right, you get articles like this. When they blow it, you get people calling for their heads. (Of course, with Jerry, people call for his head even when he doesn't blow it.)

You do realize that the GM is not responsible for wins and losses, right.

The job of the GM is to acquire talent for the team, the coaches are then graded on how many games they win with this talent.

Last time I checked, Dallas is loaded with talent.




Ergo..............the GM isnt the problem with the team.

Look closely at any GM and you will come up with players and picks that they bombed on. The intense focus on Jerry sometimes makes things appear more unbalanced than they are.

OF course, Jerry likes the spotlight, so some of those are self inflicted wounds.

2nd who hires the coaches?
