Think about it:
We let Zimmer go and the Bengals have been in contention every since
We let Wade go and the Texans are an immediate top 5 Defense
We let Ryan go and he took the worse defense in the league to a top 5 defense

Maybe, just maybe, we fans don't know as much as we think we do and should let the people who do it for a living do it. That does include Jerry and STOP listening to us know-it-alls.

Judging what he has done in the last 15+ years, I'd like Mr. Jones to stop acting as GM too. I'm sure I won't be listened.

Um...wade was just fired and Robs D fell apart when they started loosing people. It's not like Rob is a genius. Better leadership culture=better results.

Jerry doesn't listen, he only makes inconsequential moves and fools you into believing they are the real issue.

No disrespect to the OP, but there are quite a few of us that did not want Zimmer and Ryan out of Dallas. I never wanted Wade as a coach in the first place because the end was highly predictable and played out exactly as scripted.

Since Zimmer is coaching in Cincy, Ryan is coaching in NO. Wade was hired as coach and Jerry is still GM, I would say he completely ignores me.

Those that are wrong love to lump everyone in with them. I didn't like firing Rob Ryan the day it happened. I'm not surprised he has had more success working for a sane owner in an environment conducive for coaches to have success. Doesn't surprise me one bit. Don't forget their head coach also sucked here and needed to go.

The best thing that could happen to Jason Garrett is to get the heck out of Dallas and start over where a coach has a chance.

Let me see if I can wrap my brain around what you're saying.

According to you, the Cowboys are mediocre due primarily to Jones' penchant for doing what the fans want (since, obviously, fans are completely monolithic in their opinions), and to rectify the situation, fans should cease all criticism of Jerry Jones?

Is that right?

I never wanted Rob Ryan gone. I always liked him and wanted him to get a shot at HC. Jerry only listens to himself. His ego won't allow him to listen to anyone when it comes to the cowboys. That's why he kept Garrett and let the strong personality guys go. Jerry needs his yes men.

If Jerry listened to the fans, Garrett would be long gone. He had to fire Wade. He lost the team. Jerry can't have his team getting blown out every week. He can't sell it to the public. Ryan was just a scapegoat for last year. I didn't hear many fans blaming him for that Washington loss. I knew it wasn't going to work.

Might be the best thing that's happened to both parties.

Maybe, just maybe, the problem isn't Jerry listening to fans. It 's Jerry listening to the WRONG fans.

LOL - and the sooner he stops listening to fans like Lacewell and Switzer and Rowdy the better we'll be.
