I am original fan. Eddie LeBaron, Don Meredith, Frank Clarke, Bob Lilly. Loved the 70s and the 90s. Since then it has been less than mediocre, with the same formula for failure. An idiot for a General Manager, who hires feckless head coaches, and runs a soft camp and maintains a loser's culture. It is no coincidence that the formula continues to provide the GM an opportunity to sell the all new Cowboys. This happens with the draft and continues through camp. We always win the Super Bowl in that time period. We play no starters in the preseason and each year the first string looks lost for the first several games. Nothing has changed in 30 years and nothing will because no one is changing a thing. Same losing formula. But wait, the worst GM in any professional league is the owner of the franchise. I give him an A+ as owner. He makes so much money and his franchise value keeps rising, as he provides a mediocre product. Why change that formula? Money just keeps flowing in Jerry Jones' direction.
So, I am done. I cannot root for this hot mess. I need your help. What team do I root for? I live in New England but don't love the Pats even though they manage to put a quality product on the field almost every year.
I am thinking, San Francisco because they have such an incredible coach who innovates his offense every year. It is refreshing and fun to watch. Then there are the Kansas City Chiefs, who were in Dallas when the Cowboys first became a franchise. They were the Dallas Texans and were my first team. When they left I became what I thought would be a life long Cowboys fan. But I am done. I also like the Buffalo Bills because of Josh Allen, but I fear they are next year's team. The Raiders seem to be putting a good team together, but I don't like Las Vegas.
Looking for suggestions and reasons they make sense.
If you are a patsy dumb, I love my Cowboys no matter what, please do not wag your finger at me. You may do what you want to do. I get it, I did it for 66 years and had some great times watching my Pokes. Today, frustration and embarrassment have over come my fandom for this franchise. Help me out, please.
 
Pick a college team.
Good advice. Sorrily for me I went to Penn State. They are a mirror image of the Cowboys, can't run, can't defend the run. The Iowa State players have been over run by the Big Ten teams. Welcome to the big league, fellas. I stick with my team but it does not keep me happy on Sundays. I need a team for the other five days the NFL is on the telle.
 
Personally, since Dallaa has never really made it deep into the playoffs since snakes could walk, i go for the underdog once the playoffs begin. That usually meant taking the field against the 49ers, Rams, Eagles, Pats, and those favored to win that year. If they don't win, then who cares,....the key is it comes down to entertainment. I have various other interests and hobbies i choose to put more emotional value in.

But that's just me, choose what makes you happy, not more miserable. :thumbup:

Switch to UConn Women's Basketball?

Pick one of the most popular teams in your area.
We're fans. This is entertainment. Pick the team that is most socially useful for you.

I moved to Vegas. Might start following them. I was a Raiders fan back in the 70s living in Hawaii. We got "Oakland Raiders Football' every weekend. They were our adopted home team. So at least I have a little history as a Raider fan. Just win, baby!

No judgment from me but if I was to get off this garbage scow I would probably just be a fan of the game itself.

Not necessarily becoming a fan of one team unless it happened organically.

Other criteria could be the cheerleader squads. The Dolphins girls and the Raiderettes are pretty choice......stay away from the Eagles though because a couple of their cheerleaders are dudes.
 
No one cares if you quit. Pick a team and go. Dont post crap and expect not to hear about it. Bye
Thank you, Mrs. Jones. I enjoy this board. I do not think what I posted was crap, however I do not have the experience you have making, handling, and swimming in crap.

49ers? If you’re going that far, why not an NFC East team?

if I had a gun to my head and was FORCED to switch teams, it would be the Titans. I think their head coach learned a lot from his jets days and I expect him to build a solid team. He will build a defense for sure and I would think a run-first offense. Not sure if they have a QB yet though

Rather harsh on your part.
Yes, he is deflecting. The Cowboys suck, I know it, but I hate people who remind me of what a lousy team this has been for 30 years.
