Howie Roseman Philly John Lynch SF Joe Schoen Giants Joe Douglas Jets these are guys who run football teams , scouting depts and yes you get results or you’re canned simple .


Jerry is the “ face “ of the Cowboys he goes to the senior bowl with cap & whistle it’s cute sure that’s it . Let’s not kid anyone who thinks differently , Jerry is the PR version . Has the radio show which I wouldn’t spend 2 mins listening to . McClay and the nuts & bolts make suggestions Jerry signs off makes the draft night phone call .

Want a “ football guy “ I give you Brad Holmes took over pure garbage from the previous regime , went out hired Dan Campbell drafted the likes of Sewell Hutchinson to control the lines , now the Lions are challenging SF and Lynch for NFC kingdom .

Brett Veach . Who ? The GM of the Chiefs that’s who . They’ve won a few SB rings lately . Tyreek Hill too expensive ? No problem trade him to Miami shuffle the deck . With each passing SB parade a new set of RB’s retooled OL . The “football guy” behind the glory .

Not sure of what your definition of a “Football Guy” is, but Jerry was co-captain of Arkansas 1964 National Championship game as an offensive lineman. Throughout his time in the NFL he’s learned from so many of the greats that he’s certainly learned even more. So IMO, he’s a football guy more than most here. His only problem is he’s convinced his way is the right way.

I agree with this only in the sense that at this point how can he not be.

The question should be how good of a football man is Jerry.

This isn't exactly fair, lol. Switch Dak & Mahommes and see which one is the "Football Guy". We'd be going for 3 in a row too

Jerry's a football guy in the classic American sense. Loves the sport, is passionate about it. Etc.

In that sense there are 10s of millions of football guys in this country

In the sense you are asking (is Jerry Jones wisdom in personnel and administrative matters at the level needed to be a top tier GM at the highest level) then the answer is a resounding NO.

If Jerry didn't work for himself as GM and owner, he would have been fired in the early 2000s. That simple.

I've watched a few episodes of 'Hard Knocks: the Giants off-season' and for all his faults, Mara pretty much just says, "Alright". I like that kind of owner.

Jerry is a football guy. Played in college, has always loved the game, and I do respect him but his ego gets in the way. He's not as smart as he thinks he is, basically.

No Dallas would not. Mahommes career would have been crushed under the ineptitude of J.G. and J.J.

He was blessed not to come into a dysfunctional cesspool of a front office in Dallas.
What, lmao? Dak must be the goat then if he could survive it and become a top 5-8 QB & Pat couldnt

He was a super rich guy that bought a football team. That doesn't necessarily make you a football guy. It just means he had enough $ to buy a football team.
Was Ted Turner a baseball guy? No, he was just a super rich guy that bought a baseball team.

Who made the decision to draft Mahomes ? Tell you what KC Veatch & Reid don’t go on 9 yrs without getting near a SB and stick with the QB and on the verge of the biggest contract no less .

Maybe a few highly paid people on the payroll try and fake it. Actual belief.........probably not.

LMAO in your dreams maybe. Nobody has been able to overcome this woeful organization for 30 years.... since the team no longer became Jimmy's team nobody has won more than 1 playoff game in a year.

Whoever wins a Super Bowl in this organization as it stands now has won the equivalent of 3 Super Bowls.
