Because I can't think of a single thing to indicate he is not as power hungry and not willing to hold a position he has no qualifications for as his dear old Dad.
He's been in charge of the personnel department for years. My mother was as qualified as he was when he took the gig. My mother could have performed as well since he's had it.
Qualifications for a GM? What are you mumbling about? Like you have a clue what qualifications make a successful GM. Feel free to list your 'qualifications' for a GM. Both Jerry and Stephen are more than qualified to be GMs in the NFL. Jerry has dedicated decades of his life to football. Just because you don't like him doesn't mean he isn't qualified. Same with Stephen.
Don't know if all true, but here's a little on Stephen from a simple search:
"Entering his 11th year as a NFL executive, Mr. Jones has enjoyed a life-long association with the game of football. A four-year letterman as a linebacker and special teams stand-out at the University of Arkansas, Mr. Jones was a starter for the Razorbacks in the Orange Bowl Classic that followed the 1986 season. Prior to attending the University of Arkansas, Mr. Jones was an all-state quarterback and a three-year starter at Catholic High School in Little Rock, AR. Mr. Jones graduated from Arkansas in 1988 with a degree in chemical engineering and went to work in the oil and gas business for JMC Exploration as an engineer."
He is a chemical engineer. I am an electrical engineer and can assure you engineers are smart and logical. ChemE is very difficult, one of the hardest engineering fields. Engineers tend to avoid risk and have backup plans and look at the problem from various angles before choosing the best solution. Engineers are often good listeners and quick learners. Engineering at its basic is logic. Engineers understand statistics, probability, and risk-reward. Engineers make good leaders. Not the loners and individuals some engineers are but Stephen is not some loner. All NFL GMs get advice and make decisions. As long as Stephen is getting good advice from his advisors, scouts, etc. I am confident he will do well.
Power hungry? What does that have to do with the price of bananas? Those people exist in all phases of life. Most corporate execs are power hungry freaks. I can assure you that engineers detest to the nth degree micro-managers. I would be very surprised if Stephen turned into a micro-manager. Stephen was lucky to have inherited power, so I don't think he has a hunger for it.
For some reason you hate the Jones Family with a passion. Maybe some guy named Jones stole your lunch money or your girlfriend. Maybe you are just jealous because Jerry Jones has more money than you and all your ancestors both past, present,and future ever will combined. The Jones family ain't going anywhere. And if it means so much to you, there are 31 other teams out there with 'qualified' GMs.
Yeah, 8-8 the past three years. And basically a .500 record for the long run. That is some serious destruction ... if your definition of destruction is not winning the super bowl.
