Feels like our legacy is dwindling

We no longer have one. Jerry has seen to that.

As long as it's under his control, though. That's the thing, his ego won't let him do what's really necessary, until the elusive SB win comes around again.
At that point, if he's still around, I suspect he'd hire a general manager since he'd have "proved his point"...

If he wants to do that, then he needs to study the moves the likes of the Chiefs have made. This is a copy cat league. Study those moves and figure out how to apply it to our team.

Bitterness has changed this dudes life.

It really is a shame what bitterness does to a person.

It really is a shame what bitterness does to a person.

It festers like an infected sore that never goes away. Eats away at you and then you end up being bitter towards everything.

Exactly, and look what's resulted from that. Look where we are now as a result of his bitterness.

We still have a legacy but it's a new one, we are no longer hated because of success but are more of a punchline for failure and referred to as 'One and Done' when it comes to the playoffs. We also have Jerry and his offspring to thank for this legacy.

You're the most bitter person on here.

 

[Rockport]

You're the most bitter person on here.

Only towards haters like yourself. Otherwise I’m one of the most positive.

Basically its a team with a winning tradition, won Super Bowls, is a good team now but not good enough

You guys talk as if their the Jaguars or Cardinals. You think they are the only team to get ever get knocked out of the playoffs?

 

[jterrell]

Good.
Org needs to stop living off of legacy and go build one.

Sports are about what's in front of you not behind you.

Fans and Jerry are why Jerry is still here.
By his thinking and thinking of so many delusional fans that SBs are everything he has a remainder of career pass to suck.

Dallas fans need to be humble. Win a playoff game? Celebrate it because it isn't that often.

The fact you let what strangers on the Internet say makes you bitter is sad and hilarious to me.

Completely agree

Oh we are building a legacy alright. It just isn't a legacy of winning. It is a legacy of nepotism and incompetence. It is a legacy of favoritism and greed. It is a legacy of shame.

 

[TexasHillbilly]

The Cowboys have become a joke of an organization, living off the past. It's a Boomer org.

I don't really believe that my team has become a joke. I've been a fan almost since inception and even though they are not what they used to be, the game isn't what it used to be. Some things are better but several things have ruined, (or at least have made it not as enjoyable), the game in my opinion. I won't go into details but I've not ever heard that Dallas has become a joke of an organization. Even if I did hear it, I would not pay attention because I don't care what others think about my Cowboys.

I will be a Cowboy fan win or lose and who gives a crap what others think of them and especially what others think of me as a fan. I just enjoy the game.

Couldn't you say that about the NFL as a whole? It's always been about the dollar hasn't it?

I get what you're saying, but even in the last offseason after Zeke got cut (which I had no problem in it of itself), I was raising concerns about our run game. I had concerns that Pollard wouldn't be enough. The LB group was thin as it was. I was wanting them to beef up the Lb group a bit more, and I wanted the best running back they could get. Fast forward to now, I hope shutting down the run when we are on defence and beefing up our running game is a priority this offseason. Every QB needs a reliable running game. Look at the Chiefs this year. Especially with their WR issues, they wouldn't be where they are now without Pacheco.

i agree but dudes been pretty dang good in that 2nd half last year in the super bowl and now,,, that's pretty lucky getting a seventh round running back that can run like that and the way he comes out of the backfield to receive...

as much as i would love a strong run game like the lions head kind of hard to win a game when your defense can't make any stops at all.......... in that last game against green bay we pretty much fell flat in every category, you know like the lions defense in the second half choked

 

[OGSixshooter]

Dak wasnt always bad. Were you happy when he became the starter in 2016 and went 13-3 and won the NFC East as a rookie? No one expected that. He wasnt even suppose to play for a few years. He was considered developmental.

I was happy then...because he got rid of the progress-stopper Tony Romo. Now...Dak has become a dry hole that Jerry thinks is going to turn to a gusher. Dak is a progress-stopper. We are stuck in mediocrity.

You're so close...one other important position choked...

I agree, and it's why I want linebacker, NT, and running back to be priorities. I want us to become more physical so we can match with the teams we have waiting for us this season. If we cannot stop the run and cannot run, we will be lucky to win 5 games with the projected opponents this season.

Nobody cares about the Browns anymore. That's what's going to happen when Stephen takes over and the old time fans die off unless they start winning again. Our legacy is tied to 2 coaches and that's becoming ancient history.

One thing that struck me through this is that dynasties are coaches. Really great coaches in their prime. When they go, the organizations frequently fall into obscurity. Post Lombardi Packers. Paul Brown Browns. Shula Dolphins. The Niners have been interesting in that they have had several good coaches post Walsh so its not impossible to recover.

Its not a great thought as a Cowboys fan since Jerry thinks that coach is an unimportant position. I doubt Stephen thinks much differently.
