Desire and effort aren't the problem

[America's Cowboy]

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.

Agreed. Same goes for the coaching staff. Great effort but simply not good enough as coaches.

Every single owner and GM in the NFL wants to win more than Jerry.

For the GMs, their jobs depend on winning. Apparently, that's not the case for Jerry Jones.

For the owners, they want to win so much that they attempt to hire the most qualified GM they can find. They willingly transfer their control and authority to another because they concede, correctly, that the GM is an expert and will increase the probability of success compared to the owner.

For Jerry, the only winning that matters is when Jerry wins Jerry's way.

For a GM, winning is the job 24-7, as they say. For Jerry, it i's a part time job, just one of his many responsibilities he shares along with being an NFL owner, the CEO of his oil company, AT&T Stadium marketing manager, and media personality.

Even when the Cowboys were completely healthy and laden with talent, they couldn't sniff a conference championship game when Jerry made the football decisions.

As far as the players, the minute they discover they are eliminated from playoff contention, they will begin to make "business decisions" with their bodies.

Shhhhh...No one cares.

Yes…this roster is not good enough. One reason this roster isn’t good enough is this owner does not want to win bad enough to do what 31 other owners have done: Hire someone else to be their GM.

Sorry Jumbo, but to me it is blatantly obvious - Jerry Jones does not want to win bad enough to make the changes that would make this organization better. Starting with him stepping aside.

This IS a character and commitment issue. Jerry lacks the character to admit he can’t do it his way anymore if he’s really committed to winning a championship.

For the first 20 years I thought Jerry wasn't a bad owner.. a bit embarrassing like the drunk uncle at a wedding.

But if he (as an owner) hasn't figured out by now he needs a GM.. then he is one of the worst owners in NFL history.

I don't like to talk bad about anyone.. but when he moves on I certainly won't be shedding any tears.

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.

That sums it up with highly convincing accuracy -- I think you're onto something!

I think jerry loves playing GM, and being the big boss, and doing interviews, head spokesperson for the cowboys more than
winning or making $.
That is why he wont quit, step aside, or sell the team. He loves what he is doing, win or lose, make $ or not.

you are right, he certainly has a big ego and if he had to step aside, it would admit defeat and he hates that...

Jerry got to you, was it money? Is he blackmailing you brother?
Come forward to the authorities.

Jerry only wants to win his way with him leading the charge. There is a difference between commitment and insanity. The man is completely delusional in regard to his own ability to build a super bowl contender and was never fit for the GM job.

No one wants to win more than Jerry….


No one wants to win more and get all of the credit while simultaneously being cheap and not knowing enough to actually help with the winning and being an embarrassment to the organization and creating a toxic culture with no accountability and consistently undermining his coaching staff than Jerry.

There I fixed it.
