Exactly. Jerry Jones may have had the GM title, but he was not making the decisions on players via the draft - it was Jimmy. Once Jimmy left Jerry made the decisions until Parcells arrived, and even then Jones made moves regarding players that Parcells ostensibly winced at (T.O.).
I LOVE Jerry Jones the owner. And he's gotten better as a GM no doubt, but imo (and I very well could be wrong), there is a fundamental conflict of interest between being both owner and GM. I hope I am dead-wrong on Jones the GM. Nothing would make me happier.
people see what they wanna see or want it to be, i suppose.
if "jimmy" were all that and a bucket of chicken, wouldn't he have won in miami -you know where he said shula should win it all the year before? he had full control again. yet, he didn't win.
maybe as a team they had something going on, ya know? maybe it wasn't one or the other (like far too many like to draw up in stupid - never to be proven - arguments) but what they could do together, ya think?
that's what we have to find again, that's all. maybe it's traditional maybe not. but from what i know of cowboys history we're far from traditional, yet we get mired in all that type of talk far too often.
jones is the GM.
make your wish list moves all you want, it ain't gonna change. tell the world how smart you are by saying jones is a bad GM - wheee. now what? he's still the GM and you're still floggin the fries at the quickie mart.
jones would never hire a real coach. he did and let him drive for 4 years.
so maybe those "extremeisms" are just people who like to hear themselves talk and cover their thoughts in the voice of the "common" vs. what is really going on.
