Have we become so used to Jerry that anytime he does bare minimum we praise him?

[Diehardblues]

And if Cowboys do overcome the trade from draft picks and acquired players which culminate to more success than we’ve had this era then we will have to credit Parsons much like we did Herschel.

I already apologized for it, I didn’t think I used the word fan, I thought I used the word support, that was my bad. I agree I was trying to ask an honest question as you will see further through the thread.

But it already has set off a landslide, because they misinterpreted my intention, I was curious just like he was, why do people support the Cowboys if they don’t approve them
Me it’s because of the star and what it represents
And I wanted to know, his honest opinion, I wasn’t being derogatory and I didn’t have an agenda

It was the questioning fanhood thingie. Here's why. The cheap shot artists use that vein incessently. So, by using that terminology, you have inadverdently aligned yourself w/ those who run around insulting everyone. I'm thinking that's not what you want.

Certainly can’t elevate as much when continue making other bad draft picks like in 1st round with Taco and Mazi.

While I’d agree receiving 2 1st rounds presents an excellent opportunity to overcome assuming we hit on those picks and the impacts made thereof.

I’d still continue to argue that Parsons did make our defense better . Singling out 2024 doesn’t tell entire story. Causing havoc and creating pressure helped mask other weaknesses like in secondary.

How our defense totally collapsed last year was a great indication how he did elevate defense. Was it enough. No but as we agree more help and better draft decisions were needed.

Greater staffs and organizations would continue attempting to build around such talents instead of starting over. Especially with a seasoned veteran QB and offense ready to contend now.

Good news is it provides us an opportunity to overcome if we make good decisions. Hopefully better ones than in previous drafts with 1st round bust as mentioned.

And still, our D was 28th w/ Parsons.

What was it previous playoff years with him? 2022 12th and 2023 5th

Since when do you not build around your best talents?

I don’t know what’s it was ranked against GB but it certainly was the worse defense I’ve ever seen when Jordan Love looked unstoppable.

How is asking someone why do they remain a fan a cheap shot?

And how did our offense look . Did we trade them too after GB playoff loss?

Of course not. You continue building around your best talents and upgrading your weaknesses not getting rid of our strengths.

Offense was equally as bad.

I don’t think they’re excuses at all, I think it’s wait-and-see, don’t bury the team before they’re buried

lets see pretty much zombie for 30+ years should be buried

When you need the resources acquired from that "best talent" to build a contender.

So, does this mean you were against the Herschel Walker trade? Seachickens are good in part because they traded away their best talent. Do you really not see how you need to trade away your best talent sometimes to reach contention?

Because it is. Completely unnecessary, and quite childish. Everyone is a fan in their own way, and if they choose the negative route, why is that wrong?

In 1989 we were a 1-15 team. In 2025 we were a playoff caliber team coming off a non playoff season cause our QB went down.

If you have a playoff caliber team you continue building around it not scrapping your best player or players to rebuild.

Attempting to discredit a member personally is Debate 101 but not allowed in this forum based on rules of personal insults and attacks.

Everyone conducts their fandom however they choose much like fans at a game. Argue their comments on merit and content alone .

But he didn't even ask it as an argument it's a genuine question. WHy do you root for the Cowboys if you don't even enjoy? I think its a question that bothers people because they know it makes no sense lol.

People will complain about players all day and never even enjoy the games. Admittedly they hate watching them....ask them why do they even root for this team and there's never a legit answer because it sounds stupid.

First, essentially nobody here is praising Jerry Jones. This board has reached the point where his death is hoped and openly prayed for. The visceral hatred for Jerry Jones here is unmatched in the world of sports message boards. I’m frankly shocked by what is allowed to be posted here about him.

Second, Jerry has had progressively less and less direct influence over personnel decisions for well over a decade. Stephen has had more direct influence over the roster since 2014 or so, and at this point he and McClay run this thing almost entirely. Jerry is a figurehead with technical veto power that in practice isn’t utilized much if at all.
