Jerry and his “quarterback friendly offense” quotes over the years don’t help

[zrinkill]

And they ask about it because fans care, and it generates clicks, not because it's meaningful.

Fair enough, we will just have to agree to disagree.
You are a great poster and I don't want to argue with you about Jerry Jones nonsense

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Truthfully saying your offense is Dak friendly be a bad thing. But the anti Cowboys crowd are clinching for anything. Because they are scared. They know this might be the year and they are trying to get their insults in while they still can.

 

[Ranching]

Jerry being Jerry, any fan that knows his history, knows to take it with a grain of salt. It doesn't bother me, I know he's full of himself. It is what it is.

Can't replay to convos...got the message and agree 100%
Go Cowboys!

 

[817Gill]

It doesn't help but it also doesn't matter. Fans just like to whine.

Literally! This doesn’t matter in the slightest bit lol. I remember there was a podcast with Ryan Clark that had Micah and Diggs on it. When they asked if Jerry’s comments affect the team they both just busted out laughing saying that it’s ridiculous to think that.

Honestly other than this board and sports media, no one really takes a senile 80 year old opinion serious at all. Seems like there’s a handshake agreement in the FO to let him speak as much as he wants as long as he doesn’t have too much say-so on actual football things.

At this point if you actually take him serious it’s on you. The players don’t care at all.

And what else are they going to say? They're not going to attack their boss. lol And I guess some do love the circus. Players that are just in it for the money/

He’s been bad this week. First he says we can’t redo Martin cuz we have to pay Micah. I don’t like how he singled out Micah by name. I don’t like him singling out Dak by saying this will be a “Dak friendly offense”. So if Martin doesn’t report to camp Jerry singled out Micah, if our offense doesn’t do well Jerry singled out Dak. How is singling out players going to help team chemistry and organization culture? It’s like he breeds conflict and divisiveness within the team on purpose to meet his attention needs. I said this in another thread but amateur move by an amateur GM.

Sometimes I wonder if we as fans are so divided over players like Dak, Romo, and others because Jerry polarizes the players and then fans take a side. Jerry does it for attention and to keep the team relevant and we as fans argue and Jerry cashes the checks. Who knows, the one thing I know for sure is Jerry is the sole reason for our 27 years of disappointment. Many have come and gone but Jerry remains and our record reflects that.

Let me get this straight, the fan base is so weak minded that they believe everything they hear and decide to take their own stance on it??! hmmm

we have to make up special threads and post to talk about Jerry even though this is just who he is and it's not affecting the team on a whole, at all. this is just fans being fans,

either they hate Jerry, some don't like Jerry, some like Jerry,

so now they blame Jerry for everything and again they have such a weak feeble minds, they're so easily influenced by a few quotes it isn't anything but a few quotes.. I say it doesn't matter, what matters is game one we have the best team on the field that we possibly can put on the field and the fans can debate football, can we stop the nonsense about $$, contracts and quotes.....

It seems like if it wasn't for Jerry, fans but they have nothing else to talk about... they already make stuff up, they all know the future, they're all better gms and better talent evaluators then real pro staffs Jerry assembled, they know everything.. they have a better idea how the draft should be and now they're trying to tell the owner he's not allowed to say what's on his mind as if it can hurt the IT is not hurting the team....

#1 Martin started THE PUBLIC debates on his issues jerry spoke about it..hes actually correct, simply discussing some changes to the offense that might make it tailored for dak and the wrs is big deal, when did honesty become big deal?

Once you let Kellen Moore go and a bunch of the offensive staff it was obvious the questions and the answers were going to be coming about why they did it it wasn't going to be hidden it wasn't going to be a secret, nothing in today's sports are a secret.. it's 24 hours a day seven days a week 365 days of social media saturation especially when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys and there's no getting around it , they're sticking microphones in people's faces and that's the answer is you're going to get...

100% like I said in my below reply if you have a weak feeble mind and this stuff is bothering you that much that's on you not on Jerry...

 

[blueblood70]

Jerry is the main reason we keep falling short. It's the environment he creates. This team has to try to win in-spite of Jerry and that's hard to do. We're going to move on from Dak eventually but our problems are still going to be there.

That's nonsense 100% nonsense anybody who believes little comments he makes the social media affects the team are the ones who have the issue he's not the reason that plays are not being made and we're losing by one score against the 49ers two years in a row that would be the team itself that would be people not making plays that would be people committing penalties that would be people committing turnovers Jerry actually put the team on the field that is competing and has a shot in the playoffs he is part of building the team and they're somehow good enough to win back-to-back twelve win seasons you're telling me oh but just that one game we fell short all on Jerry? It is not anybody thinks that are just sheep they're weak minded people that think little comments made from the owner somehow have a deep impact on the how the players play the last game of the season,,,

Seeing all the headlines this week with Jerry once again talking (when he shouldn’t of course) about the new “Dak friendly offense” made me look back on how often he has said almost the same thing over the years.

Before I say anything else, let me make clear I’m not anti-Dak at all. He’s definitely good enough to win with. And I want this “new” offense to succeed mightily. But JJ talking about it for hype doesn’t help this team at all.

And…how many times is Jerry going to use the term “______ friendly offense”? Let us count the times.

• This isn’t even the first time he’s used the term “Dak friendly offense”…remember 2018? https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profo.../cowboys-seeking-to-make-offense-dak-friendly
• Or 2013 with a “Romo friendly” offense…https://www.espn.com/dallas/nfl/sto...wboys-see-romo-friendly-offense-come-fruition
• Or 2015 in another “Romo friendly” quote…https://www.foxnews.com/sports/jerr...ning-type-time-in-expanded-cowboys-role.print
• Or in 2009 after Jerry made the decision to cut T.O. (which was the right move)… https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/fanho-jerry-jones-cut-t-o-to-make-offense-romo-friendly/1869683/

My point is this: Like all Cowboys fans, I want to win and win now. I want this offense to be prolific. There’s a decent chance it will. But the last thing this team, this QB and this culture needs is a bunch of hype from the owner/GM who oversells and under-delivers every year. Wouldn’t it be nice for once to undersell and over-deliver?

Just my wishful opinion. I expect this team to do well this year- in spite of the 80 year old playing football big shot.

When Jerry speaks everyone should walk away. He is more full of b.s. than a politician. Like most high grade bull chippers he mixes his dungeree vernacular with a little sprinkle of truth. Jerry hopes you do not smell it right away. He is hoping the stench is masked long enough for you to open your wallet and purchase a helping.

 

[dargonking999]

I think its g funny that yall see so riled up. Oh I can see it now, eagles are just fired up cause Jerry said the offense is Dak friendly. Oh yea the SF DC, is planning all sorts of evil plays just cause Jerry said Dak friendly offense


Like yall just complain for the sake of it. What Jerry says has no impact on whether the team will have success or not. His job is to sell this team to fans so they can show up and spend gobs of money on tickets, food, and merchandise.

Yall want him to shut up? Stop showing up to the games and spending money. Then he'll shut up. Till then please stop with these cry sessions like other teams players and coaches care that Jerry is saying the same damn thing he says every time they make some major change on offense

Those concessions will never stop Jerry Jones from talking. He is a consummate salesperson. Decreases in stadium attendance and merchandise sales will motivate him to speak more.

27 years of doing it this way. Yea it never has any impact. lol

 

[817Gill]

It’s not hard to read body language when people respond man. They weren’t coy or calculated in the response, they literally laughed immediately after he finished the question lol.

We as fans take Jerry so much more serious than players. Another example was last year when they asked Zeke about Jerry’s preseason comments and Zeke said “we know Jerry, he’s just marketing”. It’s not hard to ignore a senile old man lol. They have infinitely more contact with coaches and real football people, those are much their “boss” performance wise than Jerry.

Players just flat out are not that affected by Jerry as you all want to believe. Don’t understand why he bothers y’all so much he just an old dribbling talking head at this point.

 

[817Gill]

27 years of doing it this way. Yea it never has any impact. lol

If you genuinely think this team is being run the same now as in 2003 then hey man I don’t know what to tell ya.

Organization is run so so so much better now than the 27 year history you’re referring to. Stop trying to lump all that into every season. The FO is completely different and Jones has much less influence on football stuff than he had before and it’s not even remotely close.

JJ used to be the GM. He’s now just the figurehead. Things change over time man.

Yea and I've heard that before too. Talk to me in January. We've had a few SB contending teams over the last 27 years and they were one and done in the playoffs. The only difference I see now is he's finally addressing the defense. JJ will never just be a figurehead. I guess people have to believe that to survive around here. Those 2 49er games tell me we have a ways to go before we even think we're winning a SB. I just hope we can somehow manage to stumble into a championship game somehow and the only reason we have a chance to do that is because the NFC is so weak.

 

[shabazz]

Almost every off-season, Andy Reid tells the media that he is going to ADD more complexity to the offense because he knows that Mahomes has the brains and the ability to continue the growth of that offense

Jerry and MM tell the media that they have essentially dumbed down the offense to simplify the thought process for Dak with less pre-read and less post-read. Less is not more in an offense that was already VANILLA

anybody who can’t see what’s happening just isn’t opening their eyes.

Yep. Definitely lots of contradiction in this offseason as to what's said and what's shown so far.
The Cowboy Way, lol.

I’m not saying your POV is wrong because there are some pillars of reason there for sure. For me, I see a clear difference especially in the McCarthy era on how things go here.

It’s only been about 8ish years of good drafting and 4ish of McCarthy. To me that’s just not a big enough sample size to say “oh same old team”. We lost to arguably the best roster and coaching staffs in football (Shanahan plus Saleh and Ryans who are now both HC’s). The only other proven contender in the conference is Philly and as a divisional opponent we play them well.

It sucks that it was the niners twice, but again they are a great organization and roster. And in 2021 we got pushed around. The FO spent the offseason addressing toughness and we were much much better matched in 2022. That’s something previous iterations of the team would never do. We just drafted NT in round 1 lol.

I would love to get over the Niner hump, but to me if we avoid them in the playoffs we walk in. No other team has that combination of suffocating defense, genius offensive schematics, and elite players all over.
