Jerry and Stephen disagree over Pacman PFT

[RS12]

Jerry Jones, son disagree over Pacman?



On a couple of occasions over the past couple of months, rumors have surfaced that the Cowboys might re-sign cornerback Pacman Jones. To date, it hasn't happened. As one league source explained it, Executive Vice President Stephen Jones has been acquiring more juice within the building, as evidenced by the decision to dump Terrell Owens. So while owner Jerry Jones might be tempted to give Pacman another chance, we're told that Stephen Jones is squarely against it -- and that as a result it most likely won't be happening.

Lies. Stooping to BSPN's level.

 

[zrinkill]

Awesome ...... I like Stephen more each day.

 

[Everlastingxxx]

Yea heard that on the Irvin show. The son is smarter than the dad. Sad.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

It was insane last year let alone another shot(no pun intended)

Why rid yourself of distractions that can play and then bring in one who cant

 

[KingintheNorth]

Can we just give Stephen the team already. Jerry can just make public appearances or something. Kind of like Rowdy...

 

[CATCH17]

No proof. Just someone throwing something out there.

Sounds plausible -- I think that Jerry realizes that things go better when someone is going to fight him (Jimmy, Parcells) - he doesn't have that in a coach right now and maybe doesn't like so much a coach who does that -- so he's increasingly letting the boy fill that role. Makes sense

Let's make that perfectly clear. The people who just read titles and respond may not get it, but it's the truth.

I'd rather have Owens than Jones. Newman/Scandrick/Jenkins are fine.

I always thought Stephen was more of a football guy than Jerry. I think Jerry applies his business personality to roster decisions like going out and signing FA's to try to build a team, ala the current Snyder/Cerrato regime. We have seen how the combination of Stephen/Jerry/BP and now Stephen/Tom C./Wade, we have built a younger more hungry team that is more focused now on chemistry, proving themselves as football players and not worrying about their statistics, like many of our big name FA's have tried to do (T.O., Deion, Bledsoe).

Stephen takes a more cautious approach that his dad. Jerry would much rather pay a player for his past accomplishments whereas Stephen will sign a guy for his future potential. These two approaches have been played out before, with the Stephen approach on guys like Romo, and now Barber and sometime soon Ware. Jerry, I would think with a lot of influence from Parcells did this to Bledsoe, Marco Rivera, Anthony Henry, and Terry Glenn to an extent.

I am happy to have the combination of Stephen and Tom Ciskowski running the show down the road and I am very excited to where they may lead us with their personnel decisions.

 

[Meat-O-Rama]

There is NO NEED for Pacman on this team. Not at the level he played at last year. Not even at his highest level. Even Jerry has to know this.

 

[Yeagermeister]

I'd rather have Owens than Jones. Newman/Scandrick/Jenkins are fine.

I'd rather not have either one.

 

[Plumfool]

You can suspect that Stephen has more say because if Demarcus' contract sutuation. Jerry would have signed Ware to whatever agent wanted. Steve is showing more cautiousness.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

No proof. Just someone throwing something out there.

And the way it's worded, they don't say they have knowledge that Jerry wanted to do this... Just that if Jerry "might" be tempted to, Stephen is against it.

For all we know, this all comes from that slip a drunken Jerry made to Clarence Hill about signing Pac back, when Jerry might not even have been serious.

I'm going to pray this is the case, anyway, because I don't want to hate Jerry.

Then again, Jerry has sworn again the last couple days that chemistry is meaningless, so who knows.

 

[NextGenBoys]

Keep that worthless thug away from this team.

We have three corner who are far better than he is.

If there would be one player I dont want in Dallas, its Pac.

How would this be "proven" to your or anyone else's satisfaction? I am sure you and others would call anything that puts Jerry Jones in negative light as a "lie" concocted by that darn evil media again.

I don't know if it is true or not. But there is evidence to suggest it might be the case. This isn't something out of the blue. There has been plenty to suggest Stephen Jones has had serious disagreements with Jerry about the personnel makeup of this team.

I realize it is disturbing that our GM would have to be talked out of not bringing back a disruption like Pacman Jones, but read the writing that has been on the wall since he was acquired. Jerry Jones took him in like an orphan, allowed him to do what he wanted without repercussions when he was here, reluctantly released him interestingly enough after an ESPN story was supposed to break and even made drunken comments about him possibly coming back thereafter.

This is not the Jerry Jones Home for Wayward Youth. This is a football team, with emphasis on the word team. If Jerry Jones isn't smart enough to appreciate the value of chemistry, thankfully we appear to have Stephen Jones who does.

I think we all know that "Romo friendly" is a euphemism for "chemistry." For some reason (ego?), Jerry just doesn't want to come right out and say it.

I think we all know that "Romo friendly" is a euphemism for "chemistry."

Romo-friendly could also mean offensive design. I believe Vela touched on it, more running, emphasis on roll-outs and a shortened field with less downfield passing.

For some reason (ego?), Jerry just doesn't want to come right out and say it.

Why on earth not? Oh yes. Ego. I'd like to think that but it is astonishing to me that he can dismiss the idea after his three world titles were delivered to him by teams with outstanding chemistry. We may have had roughnecks and hooligans, but there was no doubt they played together as a team and pulled together on the field (and often off). Better talent doesn't always mean winning.
