DCFanatic Radio - Why does Jerry think he's cute? - 2/17/09

[dcfanatic]

Why in the world does Jerry Jones think the fans of the Dallas Cowboys want to hear him giving us 'cute' answers about the future of this franchise?

The man says a whole lot, but he doesn't say anything worth listening to these days.

And it's more than annoying!

Here's Jerry giving us some 'cute' answers and me giving my opinions on his answers and more...

DCFanatic talks Jerry Jones presser

It's already been a long off season and it's only February 17th, lol.

I agree with you on this. I am not in a laughing mood and I believe I am far from alone. I think Jerry is really misreading the fan base right now. A lot of fans I know personally are angry with the entire organization, including Jerry.

I love my Cowboys but man, it is really hard to see how keeping the status quo going into next year is going to change the result. Where do you see that working in life? I will always be a fan, but I am disgusted by the lack of leadership, vision, or heart.

To have Jerry come out and try and be cryptic and cute is not the way to go.

 

[5Countem5]

I thought for a while that even you would understand what Jerry is saying... Guess I was wrong.

 

[JJB500]

I thought for a while that even you would understand what Jerry is saying... Guess I was wrong.

He's not telling them what they want to hear.

I really think Jerry might be kind of losing it. We all know about Jerry's speaking style, but that 23-minute rambling call he made to Galloway was an incoherent mess even for him.

But yeah... He does seem massively out of touch with what the fans are thinking right now. Maybe he hasn't adjusted to the internet age where fans know much more about the internal goings-on than they used to.

And what's really sad... On GAC yesterday, they were discussing Jerry's comments that basically there was no locker room chemistry problem. Estridge and Mosley were basically saying that surely Jerry doesn't really believe that, does he? He had to just be saying that for PR, right?

Galloway said I'm telling you after 20 years of observing Jerry that when too many people line up and tell him something, he will bow up and go the other way every time. It doesn't matter if the people giving him advice are trusted advisors, either. He's just that stubborn.

Now how stupid is that? :bang2:

More and more, I think Jerry doesn't really want to win all that much. He just likes having the team as his personal plaything and vehicle for his ego. He's going to keep trying to prove he can win "his way" no matter how long he has to beat his head against the wall.

Its the way I feel about him too, He has this personality flaw that refuses for him to change and allow someone else to help him. And like they said, the more he hear's how he cant the more dug in he becomes.

That is why I really fear for this team next season. I am hoping a good smart draft will make me more optimistic again, but really there are some things here that can only get corrected in the offseason and so far they havent.

I actually think there may be more problems next year. Which is a sad thought.

and for what its worth Brian Estridge is the worst radio guy I have ever heard...I have to turn the station the minute I hear him speak

Ahhh, you're coming into my world of realization and acceptance....

Because he spent money, the perception was that Jerry really wanted to win. After all, it's the owners who don't spend who always get ragged about "not caring about winning."

But you are seeing, especially with these more and more frequent rambling comments, what I realized for quite some time - and I'm not bragging or claiming superiority saying that, really it's just sad. Namely, that it is more important to Jerry that he receive all the credit, than it is to win.

The best and the worst thing that happened to this franchise in recent history was Parcells. Good - he improved the talent base and created a football hierarchy and structure (which of course, Jerry has systematically torn down). Bad - he didn't win in the postseason.

Result? Proof to Jerry that "hey, I tried" and it didn't work so back to everything all Jerry all the time.

I love my team. I always will. But I've accepted that Jerry is Jerry and this thing will have to literally crash and burn - which it will - before he opts to go the "traditional" means of running an organization. And actually having any meaningful on-field success.

It is obvious that Jerry Jones views opposing viewpoints as challenges to prove other people wrong. That is how he operates. He's always behaved that way.

This whole T.O. situation reeks of him being stubborn and hanging onto him to prove that it is not a problem.

Good post Lab, and spot on. I couldn't agree more.

 

[Ichill2]

Yeah he looks at his cute billions in the bank so for him thats cute enough..I never thought I would say this but Im ready for Jerry to go!

 

[AMERICAS_FAN]

It's funny how everyone criticises Jerry Jones for not being a "Football Guy", even now when he's taking a page out of Bill Parcells' playbook, to only address the media on his time, and to do so with "cute" answers at that. So Jones, who is now acting more like Parcells, a Football Guy, is now being criticised for that very behavior. Unbelievable!

 

[Mash]

I think Jerry Jones is great...

its always entertaining and even when he misses....he is always trying to find a way to put a winner on the field.....gotta love him.

A Owner who truly loves being a football fan....

Go get them Jerry....bring us another SuperBowl.

Good post, CL.

I used to think Jerry wanted to win more than anything, but I don't think that anymore.

I'm looking forward to the day when he will no longer be running the team.

 

[WarC]

I'm looking forward to the day when he will no longer be running the team.

Seconded!

I'm excited to see what his son brings to the table.

WHat?

Are you smoking something?

He called into the local espn radio station 3 weeks ago.

A football guy...like parcells?

what?

Whats unbelievable is how many people complain about things on here without thinking or checking recent history.

 

[LatinMind]

its a shame how much fans cry. its not like the cowboys are in bad shape. they have the pieces to win. seems like media took jerrys silence and ran with their own assumptions. seems like espn and other outlets want to be the story these days instead of sticking to reporting the story. and aot of cowboy fans ate it up. sad

 

[jterrell]

rofl....

I love fans justifying the fact Jerry disagrees with them by saying he is just hard-headed....


Now that is "cute".

Jerry isn't saying anything that Ware or Roy Williams or anyone else didn't.
He has the most info in order to make the decisions and just because you don't like them do not mean they are wrong.

End of the day if the team wins his decisions are right, if it doesn't they aren't. It is that simple.

 

[BehindEnemyLinez]

More and more, I think Jerry doesn't really want to win all that much.

I used to think Jerry wanted to win more than anything, but I don't think that anymore

So, JJ no longer wants his team to win, in your minds, anyway. If that's the case, what's his motivation for running/owning the franchise? Money? Because if that's the case even w/ the popularity of the Cowboys, winning would simply multiply it and in effect, earn him more $$$. I'm sure he wants to win more than anything, but maybe his "downfall" is that he wants to do it HIS way! I'll continue to give the man the BOTD b/c no matter how much of a "football" man you guys claim he's not, I'm pretty sure he knows way more than any of us on here when it comes to running a NFL franchise...

Namely, that it is more important to Jerry that he receive all the credit, than it is to win.

If they're not winning, what credit is he receiving?! Right now, he's being blasted in forums like this and by the press for the team's recent failures and the only way he'll earn any kudos is by actually hoisting another Lombardi, so this statement makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. If he was constantly being showered w/ praise about how financially successful his team was, that's one thing, but anytime you hear his name nowadays it's usually to tear him down rather than pat him on the back. I'm sure the press he's receiving at the moment isn't exactly the way he wants to be perceived...

Hahahahahahaahahaha

You can't be serious?!?!?!? LOL

You really think you know what the internal goings-on are? Why? Because Werder and Galloway TELL you what they are?

 

[arync]

We are not entitled to know anything the owner of the team doesn't want us to know. You can dissect his every word, but the fact is nothing is going to change. Jerry will say want he wants when he wants because he can. He doesn't need to "get it". This is all he said she said high school BS. Witten said it best, shut up and play football. Who cares whats said and what isn't. Talk doesn't win or lose football games. Plays and execution win and lose not media press conferences and radio interviews
