Close enough is good enough

[Hawkeye19]

JJ loved that we were “hanging around the rim” after last season. In his view— we are “competing” and “finishing strong” this season.

There are those that claim he is just about the $$$ and is intentionally uninterested in putting a winning team out there and that he is indifferent to their performance.

I am afraid the malady is far more severe than greed, indifference, and being cheap. I think he ACTUALLY believes the fantasy that we are good enough to win the superbowl each and every year.

I think every year he literally talks himself into viewing his rosters as being capable and competent of getting the job done. I think he truly believes in the tripe he puts out there in the media.

Every player will play to his potential. Every second year player will develop. Every bargain bin player they take a flyer on will work out, etc….

It is terrifying to watch him point at this team now and convince himself that everything is rainbows and unicorns on the good ship lollipop. He is most certainly preparing to run it back and sell this season’s struggles as an anomaly and injury-plagued fiasco.

He has gone to the store and come back with all the lipstick he can find for his pig.

He will start selling 2025 the moment 2024 ends by “rallying” around extending Big Mike and hyping up how this roster “fought” and “competed” to the end.

It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so tragic.

Worst GM in North American sports.

A narcissist who believes the fluff his idiot son and everyone else around him feeds his empty brain and soul.

Great post. The truth in it is sad and infuriating, among several other choice words. Nice job.

I can wait until Jerry says Stephen let someone else take over, we're out of here

Jerry probably engages in enough Johnny Walker that he’s immune to illness he’s probably gonna outlive most of us

 

[baltcowboy]

I am watching the Pittsburgh-KC game and then a Cowboys documentary comercial with the triplets, Herschel Walker, and Deion pops up on the screen. That is what the Joneses are selling. They have to keep winning. The team finishes 9-8 the Cowboys would have 4 straight winning seasons.

 

[fivetwos]

They beat a couple of bad teams and a couple of mediocre ones and suddenly they are automatically winning the last two against playoff teams.

Let’s see what happens.

Maybe you can wait for that but most of us can not!

Hell Yeah! Finally! Who's going with you....I can finally blow out the candles and put the altar away. I'd say, I'm gonna miss you, but I'm not a liar.

yeah the Jethro Minions will never leave. Chugging down the Koolaide every year

Sorry, I misunderstood....you mean that you and your buddies are the minions, since you haven't left. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm glad you finally dropped your BBs and admitted it. Good for you.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Jerry is a problem, of course, but I don't get all the anger about this year. Do people expect there to be no drop off losing all these players, especially the starting QB? It does matter who is wearing those jerseys on game days.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

LOL

 

[cowboyec]

with this gm...its about the best we can hope for.

Id like to add to this a bit, if I may….

Many people say “they don’t care about winning,” or “only care about money, etc”

I don’t buy that. That would almost imply that they are capable of a plan that’s working. They are trying like hell to win, but aren’t any good at it.

They aren’t capable of player evaluations themselves, so they rely on staff for updates on who they decided to select off McClay and staffs draft board, and from coaches who are essentially assessing their own job at that point.

I doubt there’s much of…”gee Mr Jones, that 5th round pick you made was pretty awful,” more like….”yeah ‘so and so’ is really progressing,” and that contributes to the repeated over evaluations.

You then end up with “why should we pay Wagner 10m a year when Clark is ready to be a quality starter?”

It’s a mess because the bosses can’t figure it out for themselves. The coaches they are willing to hire…the ones that are willing to be undermined….do not have schemes good enough to overcome that, not against the top of the league anyway.

I’m no Dak hater or fan, but like basically every QB that ever existed, he can’t overcome that himself either, yet is pretty much expected to because of his paycheck.

As long as Jerry is large and in charge this team will never taste post season success.
29 years of proof and counting.

Jerry is trying to sell a crappy product, with zero intention of improving it. He will continue to reach for needs in the draft, because he refuses to invest in impact FA's.
