If Jerry actually stepped aside, how much better would this team be?

[baltcowboy]

Who really knows. Jerry lets his ego get in the way. Best example was the Parcells era. The Cowboys had develop a solid young defense with a great young quarterback but Jerry gets greedy then signs T.O. I don’t think we would have had the same flashes during the TO years but maybe if we let Parcells run the team we might have been a tougher team. A tough team would have beaten the Giants in that divisional game.

How much better would this team be in FA, Drafting, putting together a team, bringing less attention to us in the media, focusing on the actual aspect of football, player development, scouting, team building etc etc!! Please give your thoughts

Here's a question: If JJ was solely the owner and had a GM with his track record as GM/President... how long would it take for him to fire that guy?

 

[zrinkill]

A lot better

 

[TheCoolFan]

It won't change...the Jones Family will still run the organization as a family business concerned mainly with profit and enhancing the brand. Having a good football team will still only be secondary and Stephen will appoint someone else in the family to have input in the front office.

This is the Jones way….expecting mid round picks to be immediate impact starters.

Sky is the limit after being held down so long by Jerry.

None. Stephen Jones is just as bad, if not worst. He's a penny pincher who doesn't take free agency seriously because he is too cheap to pay for known talent. Everyone is overpaid in his eyes, well except his own overrated players

You might be on to something there , one thing is for sure it would make stephen look a lot smarter wouldn't it.If he was to hire a real GM.

I don't think Jerry would approve, so getting Stephan to admit something like that right now won't happen, but I can definitely see Stephan doing it one he has total control.

I am so far disgusted by Jerry Jones, what is so sad it that for the most part it has been greed lately that has cost this team everything. It is Jerry pinching pennies at every possible turn. Yet, here is a guy that has enough money to last for more than 1000 generations of family members, that all of them could live at the highest part of society for a 1000 generations. And yet with his type of money, this guy continues to pinch pennies at every corner, and then makes the mind boggling mistake of thinking because he pays a 4th string wanna be quarterback more money then any sports person ever, that somehow such a move would somehow convince the subconscious of Dak Prescott to actually begin to believe in himself..... which I am afraid will NEVER, EVER, HAPPEN.

Things are so far gone in Dallas now that our season is over even prior to half way through the season. And to think, this has happened all the while they have had a fairly talented team, at least a team that should make the playoffs and perhaps lose in the 1st or 2nd round. But this certainly is not a 5 and 10 team! And so we are left with asking ourselves, "why is this the case"? Why does a team with said talent come up so very short? and it is simply because of the greedy, old, decrepit owner. He has done nothing good since hiring Jimmy Johnson, nothing. And he fired Jimmy following back to back super bowls. You guys DO realize, had he not fired Jimmy after those two bowls, we would have had perhaps 4 or more in a row?!?!?!!??

This guy, the owner, has GOT TO GO. Regardless of cost, everyone should be doing everything possible and MORE, to get his guy to leave this club alone! He is the apex cancer of the entire organization, always has been, always will be!

Ii for one, am done watching this painful repetitive abuse. I simply will not allow my emotions to be placed into the hands of a greedy, old man, that is so narcissistic he cannot see beyond his own little, fragile psychopathic ego of greed, power, and loss. He truly has ruined the cowboys entire organization, the fans hearts, and all the players, RUINED THEM!

Good Luck, and God Speed!

Welcome to the Cowboys Zone .To answer your question,Jerry has a huge ego and he is not a football guy so, he is likely to mess it all up as usual .When you fire a head coach who just won you back to back ,SUPER BOWLS you are capable of anything.

I agree you know I often ask myself this question ,what is wrong with the Dallas Cowboys.Your post I believe is very correct ,a soft culture like the art work on the wall.

 

[Mark]

It would take new management the better part of a decade to resurrect this team in the salary-cap era.

 

[Mk2_Cowboys]

I’m wondering if the Jerry kool aid is finally done , the last drops have been drunk and we all collectively as a fan base realize that we should stop buying year after year what Jerry is selling?

Any hold outs left ?

Do you not know how things work? If Jerry doesn't want to pay high priced free agents, any new GM won't be paying high priced free agents. It doesn't matter if Jerry is there or not. It's not like if Jerry stepped aside a GM will be able to do whatever they want. It doesn't work that way.

Can't be much worse.

Jones likely will never step aside until he croaks or when fans finally stop showing up for games. The problem is the fans don’t seem to understand that.
