Is this board capable of providing facts that support Stephen being just as bad as Jerry?

Stephen gets a lot of hate around here. Most of it seems pointless or attempts to manipulate you into thinking he is a trash decision maker.

What has Stephen done, not one or two things, but what is the list of mistakes that makes him unfit to take over?

This will be good for this board. I think a lot of posts will be desperate attempts to try and control my thinking...that Stephen doesnt deserve a shot because he is bad...without good reasons on why I should think that. It wants to tell me how to think about him, whether right or wrong.

Im gonna see a bunch of posts that dont bridge the gap. Example: "Jerry fired Jimmy therefor he is a narcissist". Way too much info missing to make that jump.

So...I have read about Stephen writing bad contracts. Ok...do we know he was fully responsible or did Jerry meddle? How the h e l l am I supposed to know Stephen is/was fully responsible with Jerry lurking?

So...I have heard posters complain that Stephen is a penny pincher. In Free Agency? What is Stephen responsible for that being a pennywise in a certain area is detrimental to the team?

If posters want to make jumps with nothing bridging the gap...cant I say that since Stephen ripped the Johnny Manziel card out of Jerry's hand....that shows Stephen knows some things? Or....when its someone you want to hate on like Stephen...its just simply "a broken clock is right twice a day"?

How do YOU know that Stephen will follow Jerry's GM'ing style? You dont.

Stephen has been in the immediate decision making circle since he was in his 20's. He's got 30 years experience with a football team. Jerry seems to have a personality issue that is effecting his teams...how do I make the jump to Stephen having those same issues?

I dont doubt that the Family wants the money train to continue choo choo'ing...but I cant just make the jump to "Like father like son. Its impossible for him to succeed" like some on this board try to make you think.

Can I get a list of things that support the Stephen hate around here?

Pay close attention to the type of responses I get to this.

It is not clear exactly how much Stephen does and how much Jerry does. We only have anecdotal examples of Stephen’s involvement, but beyond that we can go by what both of them claim: they are more or less two heads of the same Hydra.

 

[LonnieElam]

Stephen prevented Jerry from drafting Manziel. It's easier to list the one GOOD thing he's done.

 

[garyo1954]

Your answer is in Stephen's own words. He's doing this because he is thrilled to be spending time with his dad.

Don't confuse that as I love this job, I find it challenging, or I want to win a Super Bowl.

He said he loves the time he is spending with PT Booger.

Now my son and I decided to build a CNC as a father/son project. During the build son got a GF which is way more fun than spending time with dad. And the project became dad's thing

Stephen should just get his own life and quit trying to follow the old circus clown.

You have to remember that Stephen has never lived in actual reality his entire life.

 

[ArtClink]

The only thing I can confidently say is that he has memorized the salary cap rules. Other than that, he’s a football idiot just like his dad. And don’t tell me about not drafting Johnny Manzel that was a first rounder. Great football minds find talent in the fourth and fifth rounds. Neither of the Jones boys can do that.

The first thing you guys should have made with the CNC was a woman's torso with working parts.....he'd never have left the project

Boom! You got me there!

 

[Bagman]

Its my gut feeling that if Stephen was running things by himself, he would hire a GM. Jerry needs that power, Stephen doesn't. Stephen really likes being a partner to his dad but as a solo act, it wouldn't be as much fun. Plus, I think Stephen is super lazy and would rather delegate authority. Ideally, Stephen hires Troy Aikman as GM who hires Ben Johnson as HC.

 

[Nova]

Sorta yeah.

Stephen is more like Norman Osborne, and Jerry is the Green Goblin mask spitting guano ideas at him.

Right now the crazy is being kept at bay, but the result is that Norman is showing up to fist fight Spiderman (the rest of the NFL) in slacks.

 

[JBS]

If you don’t already know that S. Jones isn’t fit for the job then unfortunately, that’s a you problem. I’m not going to give you a list, but if somebody wanted to, they could compile a list of close to 100 reasons why he isn’t fit for the job.

That you even ask this question shows you will never accept any answers you do not like

 

[dagreat1_87]

Anyone who's watched the show succession should know Stephens game. He loves his dad, won't go against him to lose his chance at being next in line, but likely knows jerry is doing everything wrong.

As soon as jerry kicks the bucket, I expect him to take the mark davis route

Stephen told Parcells on day one that the Jones boys make all final decisions. That tells me he is a chip off the old block.

 

[BHendri5]

The only thing this board is capable of is whining, crying, griping, and complaining

 

[KingintheNorth]

Much as it took many Cowboys fans close to 30 years to realize how awful Jerry is at football, it's going to take some of you a long time to realize Stephen is equally as bad.

Jerry was reckless, whereas Stephen is risk adverse. Scared may be a better word. Agents and players aren't fans of Stephen. Around NFL circles, he's considered incompetent, arrogant, and unintelligent.

You'll see. Unfortunately.

 

[Sjoseph316]

Both Jerry and Stephen lie constantly and think everyone is stupid except them

 

[Tabascocat]

To start, he was given a job that he is absolutely not qualified for. From that, he will in no way be successful.

 

[kskboys]

I don't think he is, not even close.
