Fans/Posters should let the FO do their job!

Has anyone else grown so very tired of all the *****ing and moaning on here about the team ownership/management decisions on a daily basis? The majority of posters hated the Jaylon Smith pick. How has that worked out? The majority hated the Vander Esch pick. How’s that worked out? Many, if not most, hated the Zeke pick. How’s that worked out? Most thought drafting Dak was a bad selection, even though it was a compensatory fourth round pick. How’s that worked out? The examples are endless and I could go on and on. Every NFL team makes decisions that work out well and some that fall flat. It’s not an exact science. However, far too many Dallas “fans” (I often question their true fandom) seem to think they know more about running an NFL franchise than our FO. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so pathetic. Some of you guys are wasting your imagined talents. You should quit your day jobs and start sending your resumes to various NFL teams. Afterall, you always know better than those actually running the world’s most valuable professional sports team. Right?

I don’t get this. Scrutinizing management decisions, sometimes criticizing them, is part of what it is to be a fan.

This front office has done a nice job of finding talent in the draft recently. But that doesn’t mean they haven’t made some strategic errors in team building, such as over-investing in RB or undervaluing WR prior to the Cooper trade (a mistake they rightly recognized and corrected quickly). And it doesn’t mean we have any reason to trust their cap management going forward.

Go ahead and give them a pass on everything they do if you want. But I don’t see why others should be expected to do the same.

I agree, to an extent. Everyone can have their opinions on players, coaching decisions, strategies, etc. But, I think everyone would admit that it goes way over the top far too often. How many thousands of times do we have to hear “Jerry must be drunk again”, “Jerry and Stephen have no idea what they’re doing”, “the FO has no idea how to run an NFL draft”, and on and on. It’s just ridiculous.

It really doesn't go to far at all and what happens here isn't unique. It happens everywhere with every fan base.

That doesn’t make it right, smart, or valuable. I often disagree with some decisions that have been made. I wanted Garrett gone 2-3 years ago. However, simply coming on here and spouting “Jerry is an idiot” is pathetically lazy and frankly inaccurate.

Can you right a thesis on exactly how we have prevented them from doing their jobs? As far as I know not a single one of us has persuaded them to do a damn thing different.

I’m not being literal. I would think everyone would be smart enough to recognize this simple fact. I’m just saying the incessant *****ing reminds me of a bunch of 13 year old girls. Take that ever how you want.

Yet you start a thread acting like a so called 13 year old girl. Ironic isn't it?

they are as it's their only choice...as it should be...

if your assertion is that you can't voice options about the pros and cons of such details
then you would have to close ESPN, sports talk radio, and every pro sports forum on the planet
