[Bungarian]

What's the reason for the good drafts in 2011 and 2013?

I am

Listening to Jerry is like watching Green Acres in Mandarin.

I have no idea what's going on.

That was hilarious!!

My God I love Jerry but I swear I do not know what the hell he is talking about half the time. I am completely lost.

Jerry is like the unprepared students I met in law school. When called upon, they speak with authority without really knowing what their talking about and while everyone else is laughing at them, they actually think they are saying something clever and enlightening.

I think you have to count the Galloway and Williams trades as amounting to the same thing. But he hasn't made a big non-draft offseason move since Carr in 2012. And Carr was an unusually young free agent: that's the kind of guy you should be willing to gamble your FA money on, even though it didn't work out as well as we would have liked in Carr's case.

The last really unsound FA move that Dallas made was...well, it was probably pursuing Nnamdi in 2011, who was 30 at the time. Before that it was the Williams trade in 2008.

The bigger sins over the last decade have tended to be the contracts given out to our own players.

Well said.

No kidding. He even spoke about talking in public and how it gets easier after you have done it 100 times. Really Jerry? Really?

I thot he said 1000 times

 

[WPBCowboysFan]

I have two Master Degrees and I'm a native Texan so I speak Texan fluently, and I still have a devil of a time following what he's talking about sometimes.

Jerry doesnt have those degrees, so thats a problem.

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

He mentioned going back and revisiting decisions in order to double down on what works and stop doing what doesn't work.

It may very well be that the picks that worked in 2011 and 2013 were influenced by certain people and ideas, and he's continuing to double down on those and make them a bigger and bigger part of the process

Did Jerry really said process? My God I think Garrett has a bit of Jedi mind trick up his sleeve.

It could be worst. Try watching a Bruce Lee movie dubbed in a British accent.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

I was going to comment that I could just about follow what he was saying. After reading all you guys. I changed my mind.

 

[Mansta54]

Jerry's never been what people made him out to be.

Exactly and his players would say the same thing. Jerry is good peoples.

Great post.

Yeah. You never hear a current or former player say anything but good stuff about Jerry. The criticism he gets comes from fans/media because of lack of success over the last 20ish years. However, that arrow is seriously pointing up right now. If we win a 6th? Jerry will be adored forever.

 

[AsthmaField]

It says an awful lot about Jerry that he said (and really meant) that the Executive of the Year Award was Stephen, McClay, Garrett, etc. As much **** as he's taken from the Pro Football Writers Association, there would certainly be a temptation to take a shot or two at them but he didn't and that is a credit to the man.

The best thing that Jerry said was that the PFWA guys who were criticizing him were right in their analysis. It drove him, he said, to improve how he was doing things and led him to listen much more to his scouts and coaches. I have said for a long time that Jerry has learned from his mistakes, and he has appeared to do so... but hearing out of his mouth that he listened to the criticism and changed sure was a good thing to hear.

Kudos to Jerry, who I have criticized a good bit myself.

 

[AKATheRake]

What I took from the press conference regarding free agency is

1 Demarco Murray is not coming back. Jerry mentioned something about learning from past situations, I assume he's talking about Marion Barber.

2 Jerry is not breaking the bank on star free agent like Suh. He's gonna try to get guys on a budget and try to hit on the draft picks.

I think Jerry is going to look for value in FA and obviously try to draft 2 more impact players.

Now when I say value that doesn't just mean a bargain. It means a key player that can take this team, especially the defense and make it dominant.

I don't think Jerry is thinking wait at this point. I think he's thinking now and he should taking into consideration this teams current talent and Romo being another year older.

If u have a masters degree you're not really a Texan anymore, so you don't count






I kid I kid

Hey Bud...once a Texan, always a Texan...degree or no degree!

 

[mahoneybill]

But you don't have a degree in snake oil salesman speak ...jerry has a natural knack to be on sales mode whenever he speaks. He is cautious and thinks about what he says as to not undersell anything and always prepared to rationalize and justify what he just said to give it more of an impact .. But he does it with such passion and tenacity that it feels like he's fleecing you and taking your wallet and giving you a handful of Magic beans ... It's a talent and this man has become extremely successful and rich from it

His most recent version of " oil" at least tastes better from a results standpoint

Add politicians to that group also.....

That's funny
