George Teague on what Jerry Jones really meant when he said "All In"

[MountaineerCowboy]

Will you jump ship and go back with your Philly brethren?

If I was a Philly fan the last thing I would want is for Dallas to find a legit QB.

 

[Reality]

I have been saying this from the beginning that Jerry said "All in" as in what people say when they plan to go with what they have.

That said, after several players leaving for other teams, it kind of undermines that "all in" definition.

 

[BrassCowboy]

‘All in‘ means taking all your money and putting it in the pot, just as much as it means betting on your hand. Fans are justified thinking no money is going to the salary cap pot when they watch the slow free agency results.

Jerry goofed. But also doesn’t seem to be able to read the room, just like Stephen. Of course fans are going to interpret ‘All In‘ as an aggressive free agency and off-season. They’re dead tired of playoff flops and want to see a winner in Dallas again. 30 years and counting…

The guy says ridiculous things, often out of context. This one took the cake.

The part that pisses me off more than any of it is I’m sure he is happy about the attention it got.

I never took it to mean it was going to be a free agent bonanza, but at least make it look as if you’re trying…and stop doing things un Cowboys related publicly during the time when other teams are actively trying to get better.

Are they that dumb or just arrogant?

You’re right but the only thing I’ll say is that based on who they’ve lost everyone is replaceable. I think we may miss our C though more then we think.

I'm pretty sure calling me an Eagles fan in every post is a personal insult.

Hopefully the right thing is done according to the used to be stickied post.

 

[SultanOfSix]

All in to me still means just play next season without major changes and no contract updates and see what happens.

It literally could mean anything because it was completely decontextualized.

But even with the poker analogy that Church is referring to, what I said is more applicable based on the generality of the phrase than presuming that it is specific to the contracts of three select players.

Don’t worry I’ll just show them your posts on Eagles forum to confirm what I say.

Boy, Jerry Is One Slick Snake Oil Salesman...

OMG.

Now everybody thinks he/she needs to explain what JJ meant.
And everybody thinks that the world is interessted in it.


Maybe JJ meant all of this stuff must go in:

I wish you would.

You Eagles forum lurker, you.

Fly Eagles Fly.

Jerry once said theres a sucker born every minute. Its an old saying, but its true. Shame on us if we believed him with the all in crap.

 

[Doomsday]

He is a better salesmen than Jerry but still not buying it.

Thats is how he got so rich.

 

[pitt33]

Jerry knows what he said, he just lied about it and backtracked is what happened.

You’re a sucker if you believe him.

Post of the day.

 

[pitt33]

All In

So basically overpay greatly for Parsons, CD, and Dak hurting us even more for years to come.

Spot on.

I’m telling you the Cowboys will never win anything of significance.

It’s over.

It’s been over for years.

 

[Big_D]

If anyone else on the planet says they’re all in you know exactly what it means, this turd says it and now everyone has to dissent “Jerry’s definition” of it because they’re doing the complete opposite. They’re all out at this point.

 

[NDGAEDE]

He’s actually right

He broke it down really well. It makes total sense in this way.

 

[32BellyOption]

Jerry wasn’t lying. He went “all in” thus the paternity test.
