Dallas Cowboys fans need to trust the process

It always starts at the top when putting together a roster worthy of making a title run. You need to have good evaluators within your personnel department that have a keen understanding of finding talent that fits your system, identity of your roster, and culture of your locker room.
During the process, like any business, the dollars and cents always come first. Whoever has control of the wheel may take risks and gambles, but to keep things functioning, the people performing for the business need to keep things aligned by operating their duties well. People will always come and go, but it’s up to the people upstairs to be able to find replacements that can handle the same responsibilities or do a better job.
Aside from the mess surrounding the New England Patriots’ involvement with Spy-gate and the recent deflate-gate from last year’s AFC title game against the Colts, we can’t ignore the fact they’ve made six Super Bowl trips since the ’01 season, winning their fourth in February. Their front office has been masterful on the business/personnel aspects of running a franchise. They’ve maintained the highest level of success than any organization over the last fourteen seasons – managing their budget properly, acquiring extra draft picks through trades, and signing, drafting and trading for players that fit the makeup of future Hall of Fame head coach Bill Belichick’s roster.
Not to compare the Cowboys to the Patriots’ string of success because nobody has really matched them in the salary cap era, but examining the Cowboys’ up to date ways of handling things, team owner/general manager Jerry Jones has given the powers beneath him more control in the ship he runs. Many are still chirping about the Cowboys letting last year’s rushing champion DeMarco Murray walk, and for what it seems, the confidence level in Dallas’ backs to keep the ground game solid is low in the minds of many...
