Fisher: Fans bothered by Jerry's strange reaction to Will McClay

[Risen Star]

Cowboys vice president of player personnel Will McClay, like McCarthy, also has an expiring contract. And Jones' answers to our media questions about the McClay plan do not exactly create confidence in this GM among Cowboys Nation members.

When first asked, Jones replied, “I’m not discussing any of that, at all.''

But as has always been the case when Jerry offers a "no comment,'' what he ends up meaning, is "No comment, but ...''

“I’m not discussing any of that,” Jones repeated. “I’ll discuss how much I think of Will McClay. I’ll discuss that, but I’m not going to give any type of — that can go one way or the other. That’s like it’s something that I need to be concerned about. I don’t necessarily know that.”

"Will gathers the information for the scouting,” Jones said. “He doesn’t pick the players. He gathers the information for the scouting. He’s one of the best at gathering the information for the scouting. Is he one of the people that I would use to give me information and evaluation? Yes. He’s one of them. And Will’s outstanding at this."

"Of course, we have a great relationship with each other.''

“Is he perfect? Does he know how to, say, pick all of the good players? No. We all tried to go past (Micah) Parsons. And we all waited to the fourth round to pick Dak (Prescott). So much for any brains in the room at all,'' Jones said in a half-joke."

"I really enjoy, personally, working with Will and I think he’s very competent. I’m not trying to downplay it,'' he said. "I just don’t want to make it an issue because it’s not, in my mind.”

I've been trying to tell everyone this for a very long time.

Those who don't like any pick that was made needs to direct their displeasure at Jerry.

Will McClay is too talented to continue to do business w the loser Jones boys. He should move on like fleeing a sinking ship.

 

[Tabascocat]

I think most of us already knew Will was a glorified scout.

 

[Risen Star]

Tough blow for those who pretend Will is the real GM here.

 

[ShortRound]

Just do it all yourself Jerry

So only one person should be accountable for bad picks?

Personally,,,,I think McClay is over-rated. And the latest drafts are proof. The more they let this guy set up the draft board....the worse our drafts are becoming. He's constantly reaching for need....Instead of selecting the best player.

By the sound of Dak I thought he picked the coaches... So figured he picked the players as well.

Is he the one setting up the board? If not, I do not see how that's on him.

You think Jerry the actor/doctor/oil man/tv personality doing all these interviews has time to put together a draft board?

He can barely keep himself out of a bottle of Johnnie Walker and court.....

Nah I'm saying Will isn't the only one setting up the board. It's an entire team I bet.

 

[GoCowboysGo]

Lol, like we have a GM

 

[Tabascocat]

They probably follow Mel Kipers draft ticker

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

I think it's hilarious how defensive and irritated Jerrah sounds these days, he's surrounded by soft yes men and media shills who make his life super easy and never ask him hard questions and he still finds ways to get mad. Like a child. Soon he'll start crying when a journalist says hi to him, dementia is no joke.

 

[Risen Star]

McClay is the one responsible for the draft board.

Been saying it for years...Jerry blurs the line between dementia and drunkedness. Why can't the scandal hounds land a punch on him?

If h was at all worthwhile he would not be associated with Jerry Jones.

 

[Cowfan75Lives]

Taco. Enough said. Jerry is a clown, but Will is overrated.

I've been trying to tell everyone this for a very long time.

So to be fair, those who do like any pick that was made need to direct their pleasure at Jerry. Fair enough, right? Or does your agenda go only one way?

Their have been many more hits than misses.
