Probably not for much longer.
As fans turn away their value will go down.
And it's happening as we speak.
Honestly, I would love to see that happen. As long as Jerry knows his "brand" is top dollar, he has no motivation to change his own behavior.

That said, even after last year they were still #1 per value, and how long has he been screwing things up?

Are you serious?

Belichick is on a different level to other 'retread coaches'. His attention to detail has been missing since the Parcells years.

If the players don't relate to him, the players need to go.
Exactly right. Belichick's players relate to him or they go work for McDonald's. We desperately need a new culture. Who cares if any of our current losers can't relate to an older coach. The new players coming in will learn to relate to him or they won't be drafted.

Sooner or later time catches up with everyone. No matter how big your dreams were we cannot live forever here in this life, and that reality sets in.
I think it's setting in for the Joneses.
The Cowboys were once the most loved franchise in sports. Their commitment to excellence and high expectations were realized in the results. They set out to achieve greatness, and they did.
But since 1993, that organization has no longer existed. Jerry's love for the limelight and his pride caused him to abandon the values that made the Cowboys franchise the most loved team in all of sports. His need to be seen as "the man" superseded the things that made this franchise great, and they were simply left out. The result was that the Cowboys of the past disappeared, and along the way everyone who knew what that meant disappeared with the memories.
The new Dallas Cowboys became a circus. While Jerry wanted them to be successful, his need to be seen as the reason they were successful was his main priority. He never realized that he was killing the franchise he purchased and once fulfilled it's purpose with Jimmy Johnson by winning two Super Bowls and building what may have been the most dominating team in the history of the NFL.
But that success also doomed the franchise. Jerry's pride took over, and though they would still win one more Super Bowl, the end of the Cowboys we once loved had begun.
Over the next thirty years we watched as "Jerry's Team" took over in Dallas. And while he put together talented rosters, his need to be seen as the mastermind behind the Cowboys success always undermined them. First it was his desire to be the loving grandfatherly figure to whomever he deemed as the next rising star. Then, as desperation set in, he became the NFL's big money businessman, and his wheeling and dealing helped teams secure the tax dollars to build majestic domed stadiums.
But the franchise that we once loved was gone, and the knowledge of how to achieve the greatness it once represented was gone with it.

I think the end of the Joneses is near. I think reality is setting in.
Jerry destroyed the team he first bought and restored to glory, and father time has caught up with him. I doubt Stephen will keep the Cowboys. I think he will sell, and the memories of what they once were will be gone, replaced by the new NFL's type of team; one that the gamblers will love.
It’s been almost 30 years. I gave up all hope halfway into the Romo era and I’ve been right every season since that we will never see an nfc championship game as long as the Jones idiots own the team.

But you mlk some excellent points and I share your grief that Jerry has literally smothering our franchise to death with his own alcohol soaked hands.

It was for 1000 or so folks when the Titanic hit that block of ice. A disaster caused in part by an ego needing to set a trans-Atlantic speed record.
The Cowboys hit the iceberg 28 years ago, and still won't sink !!!!

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
In this case we have to go all out

This situation requires a really stupid and futile gesture to be done on someone's part.

In other words Jerry needs to hire belichick

No coach can fix this.

Salary cap is mismanaged badly

Stars are not that great honestly

I’d trade Parsons while his stock is still relatively high.

You’re stuck with Dak /CeeDee

Do what you can to get a high pick /new QB and hope for 2029.

No owner can do it only Al D did it for a while but he was a real coach at one time.
