Ex-player lays out Cowboys issues, 'circus environment', 'inflated arrogance'

[PhillyCowboysFan]

Honestly... this is the same regurgitated opinion we see all the time. I thought this was going to be by an Ex-Cowboys player who had been with the team for more than 5 mins. Those comments hold more weight than someone from the outside.

But the title did its job as we all clicked on it!

Troy basically said he left Dallas because if the dysfunction. He actually got waived.

Has Judd Garrett left along with Jason, if it’s so ‘dysfunctional’? Why did Garrett try and keep his job?

Troy is just defending his clown friend. But it’s OK.. your buddy is out, that’s all the matters. If he’s so great, he’ll find under job

lol..your delusional, a multitude of players have said the same thing yet you claim false....lol

When are the homers on this board (and they know who they are) going to apologize or admit they were / are wrong about the Dallas Cowboys? At what point does realism kick in?

lol..your delusional, a multitude of players have said the same thing yet you claim false....lol

wait.. Troy getting waived is delusional?

Hatcher saying Garrett sabotaged Wade is delusional. Multiple players like Butler and Dez calling out Garrett are lying too?

So now you crying that Jerry isn’t extending Garrett, when before you were all about Jerry? Did Jerry hurt your feelings like Garrett hurt TOs?

and everything about that year proved otherwise, as I said you're d ilusional.
i guess the praise Lee, Witten, Lewis,Woods, D-Ware, scandrick gave him was lies...lol
oh o forgot, they were just his boy

“It was quite mind boggling to me that the staff, headed by Garrett, was promoting a false culture around a mystique that had long since faded in the mind of those who lived outside the cultural bubble of the silver and blue. There is no doubt that the market of the Cowboys brand is the most powerful in sports. That market is based on an image that was built on the back of champions. That image is maintained by a hype machine that works in overdrive 24/7 and usually is more to the detriment of those on the roster than a benefit.”

Despite the fact that it appears his commentary was a jab at a possibly-departing Garrett, Nwaneri went on to note that was not quite what he perceived as the root cause what he coined as a false culture.

“The Dallas Cowboys fail because they have an owner who has interjected himself in the daily operations of a professional sports franchise. True enough it is his team, but there is a certain level of trust that an owner needs to have in the abilities of his coaching staff to do the job he has paid them to do. Jerry is the final say on all personnel decisions. He is the spokesperson for the cowboys. The biggest fan of the Cowboys. And in the end, his decree is passed down as if he was the head coach of the Cowboys himself. His influence over the entire narrative for the Cowboys is undisputed, both in the media, and the locker room.”

For emphasis, the post finished specifically with addressing the pitfalls facing a locker room that is dominated by the Jones specter.

“In the end, for better AND for worse, Jerry Jones is responsible for the constant failings of the Dallas Cowboys. The locker room in Dallas buckles under the immense pressure, and hype created by long past success. Long past success and nostalgia that Jerry himself is chasing. Until he decides to let go of that past glory and undisputed control/influence over the narrative of his team, changing coaches will not amount to the success he seeks. Until he steps back and lets go of the power he has embellished himself in, nothing will change. Until he allows himself to see the Dallas Cowboys for what they truly are, they will never be what he so desperately wants them to be. The Dallas Cowboys are a mediocre football franchise. A mediocre franchise with an extraordinary amount of talent. And that is solely the fault of the very man who long ago turned the silver and blue into a way of life. Jerry Jones.”

When a former player castigates a powerful figure like Jones, it is bound to provide some important food for thought for the fanbase.

this guy was with the team for two months in like 2014 and was cut before the end of August

he doesn’t know anything about current team that most of us don’t know from reading this board. He’s a casual blogger and hardly qualified to give in depth analysis.

he’s just looking for tweets

Team is aweful. No better then washington. No real hope for future. Petty much done. Wishing my christmas tree was covered with ornaments of another team. Jerruh is an old senile alcoholic egomaniac. We are the Raiders at the end of Al Davis era.
