Desire and effort aren't the problem

[Jumbo075]

I’ve been saying this for years. No one wants to win more than Jerry. No one puts in a greater commitment to winning than Jerry. He’s just not very good at his job.

The same can now be said of his players. The team simply lacks the talent and ability to be a contender.

This isn’t a character or commitment issue. They simply aren’t good. A few players are, but not enough of them to matter.

No:

- He doesn’t want to win, he wants money
- He doesn’t know how to win
- He doesn’t even know where he actually is in time and space
- He cares about branding not championships

#3 probably sums it all up!!!!!

The 3 keys pieces to the triangle of NFL success are GM, HC and QB.
The Dallas Cowboys GM, HC and QB are poor at their jobs and all need to be replaced.

And take it from there.

The art of acting SURPRISED when your team hasn't had a winning season, since you were SOOOo active in Free agency

Jerry just should've put on the coaching outfit right after he fired Jimmy and went at it. We could have solved this whole thing a long time ago.
You see, the only thing that's been missing since Jimmy left is a Super Bowl caliber Coach, he had one in Quinn, but of course he kept Mike and let Quinn walk.
I'm anxious to see the interaction between Mike and Quinn.

OK, tell the truth, how are you related to Jerry? You have to be to make such an asinine post. Are you Spaulding?

Looooool. loooooool looooool. Post of your career.

 

[Creeper]

I find it hard to believe Jerry does not care about winning. Making money or not, it is his team. How can he not be a fan of his own team?

I think the last 29 years were just plain ordinary incompetence. I think this year it is more than that.

IMO He wants to win. It'll validate he is a football "genius". He also wants money.
I agree he doesn't know how to win, as his ego to be a football genius is a cancer to the team.
They have been doing this for so long and with yes men outside of Parcells, probably to the point they actually believe their lies about being close to a championship.
He wants branding and a ring.

I disagree. if you want to win, then you do whatever it takes including giving up control and let somebody else do it.
the fact that he doesn't and insists he is still the one that's the best at it, tells you he is not committed. he is committed to making money.
I read and excerpt in an article where after a close home loss that we should have one, his comment back to somebody who asked him a question about it was, did you notice the stadium and experience people had!!!!

great teams, hate losing. great players hate losing more than love winning. great GMs, personnel people and football people hate losing. I just don't think Jerry hates losing more than he likes winning. he accepts losing as something he may have to do something about.

this team lacks talent or the right combination of talent, but as a GM that's his job and he sucks at it, yet he is not giving anybody else control to get it done.

we aren't good as a team because of Jerry and his decisions. I can go over this past off season decisions as examples of why this team is not very good. we had our chances, he screwed it up.

That makes a ton of sense. Probably very accurate.

How about this one….in late January they release a written statement claming they are “close,” which implies not being fully where they need to be.

How do you then follow it up with the off-season they had by clearly not attempting to improve?

Thats why I stated that he doesn’t even know where he is in time and space.

I believe these fools think the draft and player progression is good enough.

Mazi? A year in the training room + coaching
Guyton? Well, he was high on our boards. He can start
Beebe? Never snapped in his life, but by golly we liked him.


The sudden "rush" to trade for Phillips and sign Linval in August burst the hope that Mazi, Carl and the rookie were good enough.

They just went through 3 12-5 seasons by ignoring free agency and/or being very stingy on signing players on 1 year deals. Their delusion was probably at an all time high.
There was a need for DE's even before Williams went down. they waited till the last minute to when Lawson and the other guy were willing to take min salary.

Probably thought they could do it again. McClay is a yes-man with no motivation to leave this comfort zone.
I doubt there's anyone in the front office who disagrees with either Jerry or Stephen.

You are deluding yourself.

Of course not, you would get fired for that.

Yes, and the first and last sentences are key here.

Those two have no idea what they are looking at on the level that they need to, so they depend on coaches input directly so they can sound competent to the media.

Do these staffers really want to admit that either a young player is not working out because they fear that they themselves as coaches will be deemed as not doing a great job, or heaven forbid it was a bad pick to begin with?? Probably about never. So, they think they have more than they actually do.

The rot in this organization is deep. Literally give us Mahomes with total cap forgiveness for Dak right now and they still wouldn’t win.

Moore and Jeunty isn’t fixing this but I’d wager quite a bit that’s where it’s headed. Unfortunately we have to watch it crumble to the ground before rebuild is even possible to begin. Nothing against Jeunty but he is more of a final piece….Detroit built the lines before drafting Gibbs.

Not to beat a dead horse for the 50 thousandth time, if Jerry really wanted to win and, like he said, would do anything to do it, why hasn't he brought in a qualified GM? His refusal to replace the GM says he doesn't really want to win that bad.

 

[charron]

I completely disagree. He does not build a team to win a SB he builds a team to simply make the playoffs. His only concern is regular season wins and if he gets those he's done. Now that those aren't coming he will make some changes untill his team squeeks into the playoffs then he'll sit back and watch them lose in the wildcard round and still be content.
