He can correct me but I believe his premise is future actions are automatically influenced by established past actions. Dynamically different actions can deviate from repeating past results.
In other words, doing the same thing repeatedly does not alter future actions. As George Santayana famously once (and accurately) observed, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
Dallas has enjoyed good and bad regular seasons over the past couple of decades. It has not experienced great postseasons during that stretch,
Unless 'something fundamentally changes', Dallas' 2024 season will end as either a fair or bad season. As the team's general manager, Jerry Jones is the main architect of those results. Year-in. Year-out. So, when you say:
--you have validated his observation since Jones has never learned (e.g. accepted) his way does not generate better results. He would have (long since) allowed another GM the opportunity of altering the seasonal trend if he had. Over time, Jones remains the constant variable for preventing real, fundamental change.
