Cowboy fans need to listen to our owner not noise from media

[SteveTheCowboy]

Could you repeat that?

NOOOOOO! Why I oughta....!

 

[Diehardblues]

But of course he's "all in"...with himself. As far as dak goes, he'll do like he does with 90% of *his* players. If any changes are to be made, something will "force" his hand, like when Tony got injured. By his OWN admission, the win streak "forced" his hand to stay with Dak. How many years was he "all in" with JG?

It could not matter any less to me what Jerry says. He loves to flap his gums, to be "relevant". And he appears to be, but not from winning ships and Super Bowls.

He will do what he does, when and how... regardless of what he has said before. It's meaningless.

Of course but if you were wanting to speculate on whether he signs Dak again are you going to listen to hIm or fans and media.

Honestly? My "take" is he either will or won't. Really not listening to ANYone about that kind of thing.

Jerry doesn't have to tell me he's "all in with Dak". Jerry's history tells me that of course he is. And if that history continues...Lance will be the backup, Dak will get hurt, Lance moves up.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

LOL, listening to Jerry ....half the time he is in a drunken stupor, and the other half he doesn't know what he's saying either.
So take it all with a grain of salt, whatever that means, but just thought it sounds good. Just don't pay much attention to the old idiot impersonating a GM.

Everyone is making speculation on what the Cowboys should do in regards to our coaching , QB contract and overall situation but they aren’t soaking in what Jethro is telling us.

Regardless however ridiculous or frustrating we are with our current state of the union it probably isn’t on the same page as our owner.

In order to have a better insight or instincts to our owners priorities and intentions they should at least attempt to take him for his word and what’s he’s trying to communicate.

I’ve invested 35 years now following Jethro . In the early years I met him on several occasions beginning in New Orleans in Sept 1989 as I was part of the initial group of Dallas Cowboys Travel Club which I traveled with team . I was also a season ticket holder and attended all of the Training Camps at St Edwards in Austin, Midwestern Univ in Witchita Falls and Alamodome in San Antonio.

In those early years I was in support and All In because of his hiring of Jimmy . I said from Day 1 that he was a hands on owner we could tolerate as long as we were having success on the field. Once it was revealed after the fallout with Jimmy that his priorities weren’t all about winning placing his personal agendas ahead of what’s best for Cowboys Football is when I begun speaking out against him.

I tell you this because I’ve always felt appreciative of his personal demeanor greeting me and brief converse we had. But that was when we felt his intentions were honorable despite his socks to jocks mantra which initially made us very cautious and uncomfortable.

I’ve been on the forefront calling him out since . After most of 4 decades as season ticket holder at Texas Stadium ( my father had our tickets for first 15+ years) I was part of tens of thousands long time season ticket holders which refused to make the trip over to new stadium.

Anyway, I believe this qualifies me as much as anyone I’ve heard from in this forum to present some insight to what our owner is thinking or what his intent is. I hope fans here will take some credence to this.

In the end it’s still my opinion but it’s based on much history of following the man and his actions which unfortunately have been closer to reality than what I’d prefer. And these thoughts I present don’t necessarily represent my opinions on the matter but rather what I believe his are.

And too many pundits in the media , social media and fans aren’t either taking him for his word or don’t fully understand what makes him tick. But from everything he’s stated in last week suggest he’s still All In on our QB which means another contract . And while he’s not extended our HC he’s giving him his final year on contract in a situation most would probably have made a change.

He still sees this team as being close. At least that’s his perspective he’s perpetuating publicly which is what we need to follow. He’s often brutally honest revealing entirely too much information. He believes more will buy in as he truly believed it. And it appears he believes we aren’t a playoff team without our QB .

I’d suggest fans brace for the reality of the message he’s been sending about these two key elements. Will there be other roster changes , of course as there is always some adjustments needed made with Cap implications, etc.

But this old fool is still All In on our QB. He loves the comfortable situation of being a playoff contender with him even if it comes up short in playoffs. This is a much better situation to him than the risk of starting over and what those unknowns present.

He sold 8-8 as well as we’ve ever seen. I promise you he will sell 12-5 as well. What he can’t sell is 5-12. And that’s his greatest fear and why he will stay with what is a consistent winning situation however frustrating and disappointing these end of seasons are.

I wish I had better news. But if Cowboy fans truly want the change they are seeking will need to root for a collapse or possible career ending injury cause this owner is not about to walk away from this level of success with this QB until he sees another can take him as far like when he let Romo go for Dak.

I dont think this is even necessary. Surely most people already know Dak is getting re-signed. It's not difficult to decipher.

The true beauty of the situation is that it will tie up all our cap dollars until the deal is signed, and take us out of the running for any legitimate FAs. It's just too convenient for Jerry to follow his model of mediocrity.

You’d think everyone would already know but there’s much noise going on about whether we will resign him or not.

How does it go??? Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Fool me 27 times???? Commit me....

If your not taking a side on whether we sign Dak , not sure your interest on this subject,

Another pity party thread.

What’s your opinion? Do you believe in Jethro’s “ All In “ and is going to resign Dak or do you believe the noise by some media and fans Dak is gone?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

If your not taking a side on whether we sign Dak , not sure your interest on this subject,

Well...okay.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Another pity party thread.

Ill send you a sense of humor next Christmas.

This is the year to listen and heed Jerry.

No really! Trust me!

It would be hilarious if we let Dak go but my money is on Jethro’s intent to resign him.

 

[IceStar-D7]

Dallas fans better get used to this look for the foreseeable future....

 

[CowboyStar88]

Awesome. I went by the old Playboys / Cowboys building on Hwy 75 a few times myself.

My best friend moved to Valley Ranch years ago so he could be closer to the Cowboys. We used to go by and look thru the fence at practices. He still lives there .

It was a great childhood and young adult life with the Cowboys. I was so invested , emotionally and financially.

My parents were apart those clubs back in the early 90’s and we use to use them when we would travel to the games. Back in the mid 90’s my dad and uncle wanted to live closer to each other so they settled on Valley Ranch when they were developing all the homes. My uncle and cousin ended up passing away in a car accident 6 months before our move. It was too late to back out of the house as they had it built on the corner of Cowboys Parkway.

Had the chance to meet Jerry and Ms. Love many times as her and my father had become friends. I totally understand your point, but I can’t listen to him anymore it just always feels empty.

 

[noshame]

Well, I've been listening to Jerry since the beginning also, and I can tell you, He better begin to learn how to sell 5 and 12.
+ I don't think he's dumb enough to extend the current QB
The guy loses every big game he enters, besides his lack of certain skills, his doubts have now crept into his head and they're not leaving.
