He said it on espn radio in regard to Jerry’s contention that he’s good with the current roster and doesn’t feel the need to initiate any trade talks. Meanwhile , our division rival shuts down the leagues best offense and then goes out and makes a trade for an all-pro safety and all its costs is a player and 5th, 6th round picks. If these mid season acquisitions can be had so cheaply , why the heck is someone from Dallas not on the phone trying to improve the team?? It makes no sense. Gotta agree with canty here.

As has already been said numerous times, the GM in Philly is held accountable for his job. He has to actually perform well to keep it. That situation doesn't exist in Dallas.

The 'we like our guys' mantra is alive and well in Dallas

So the Cowboys haven't the urgency to make these moves. So Jerry doesn't want to win as much as the Eagles?

I think he does want to win, but only on his terms, his way of doing things.

Jerry's way of doing things sucks. If he was truly invested in winning he would fired the pile of poop he has for a GM 20 years ago. His refusal to do that tells me he really isn't all that interested in winning.

Part of that is true. Because all GMs are held accountable, but not all GMs do what Howie does. The Eagles and Rams ownership allow their GMs to be in full game mode. Probably a few other teams as well. What I mean by that is, they're playing to win as if it was a computer sim. They're all in on trying to win. Most ownership can't be bothered with all of that. So they probably don't give their GMs that kind of flexibility. And Jerry just seems like he can't be bothered anymore. He used to be like that, made a lot of mistakes, and now has dialed it back like 90%.

More people falling for a guy trying to get ratings by hating on the Owner of America's Team.

I expect fans to not realize it, but I would think someone in the business like Canty would understand to not believe what you hear with regards to things like that. What is he supposed to say publicly? "Yes, we must add a player at any cost" and then get fleeced? We can't criticize Jerry for not being able to keep his big mouth shut and then the one time he does, criticize him for that also
