Jerry DOESN'T Care About Winning. Only $$$ and Ego. Facts:

[RoadRunner]

No doubt about it!!! I'll never understand how any Boyz fan can say that JJ doesn't care about winning.. It's so far from the truth. He's made some bad moves but he damn sure wants to win...

Jerry's own ego still trumps winning. He would have fired himself as GM over the results of the last 12 years if this were not the case.

 

[STSINAZ]

Actions speak louder than words in my book, and let's look at the man's actions. He can preach winning, but money and ego are more important...look at the record:

a) An incredibly successful businessman who has probably run his life by quarterly reports and demanded that his managers produce...So why would he continue to do things the same way, or allow subordinated NOT to produce?...ANSWER: He wouldn't if winning was his real priority. Unfortunately they are actually his ego, and making revenue on the team. There is no way that one would allow for a performance like what happened in Philly to be tolerated if winnign were really the key.

b) Statements like "I like having these reporters around...we are in the news..."...Obviously a team cannot win when presented with distractions like that so why would you allow for them to happen so you can be "in the news"?...ANSWER: The buzz generates interest and staying in the news creates revenue.

c) Removing Jimmy Johnson, and making a move that "probably" lead to Parcells leaving by getting Owens...Building a dynasty was not good enough Jerry, YOU needed to be the man in front???...ANSWER:He wanted credit. He got it early on, but then Jimmy's star surpassed him. That is why he began wrestling with Switzer during the last super bowl trophy ceremony. Parcells was getting credit for a turn around so Jerry needed to make a splash....you got one brother

d) Weekly press conferences from a GM...Why???...ANSWER: Jerry needs to be the face of the team, and when the face of your franchise is your owner YOU ARE IN TROUBLE (see Oakland for further review). Can any of you even recall what the Murchison family looked like? How about Landry, Dorsett, etc...understand my point

e) Doing it "The Jerry Way" has produced NO playoff wins in 12 years (the ONLY NFC East team not to have at least one), a 105-107 record, numerous coaches and assistants, and move sthat are widely seen as stupid across the league...So why would you let this continue if winning were the key?...ANSWER: It isn't. He just tells us what he thinks the fans want to hear. Actions Jerry, not words.

Bottom line is that you can say you want to win more than anything, BUT his actions do not reflect that.

HE wants to win if HE gets credit, and only by doing it HIS way. It's his team...he can do what he wants with it, but DO NOT BUY IN TO THIS CRAP ABOUT HIM WANTING TO WIN more than anything...he just wants to make money and he wants the fame.

He has succeeded in that, but will not have any rings for a while...which is probably his last concern...the sad thing is that if he really let football people run the show that winning would bring in money as well, but without him getting credit he won't do it.

I know I am missing several others, but I hopefully my point is understood. rom this point out despite the fact I will never drop in my support of this team, I will understand that Jerry Jones' words about winning are simply not true.

i agree with all that you have said, jerry cares about money first, if we want to get him to fix things we have to get to his wallet first....

This is all pretty fresh coming from an ego infused attention grabbing ***** himself.

Let me guess...the emboldened part is you yelling, isn't it?

OUCH!

Quarterbackcoach,

Great post. I totally agree. What I do not understand is how so many Cowboy fans think Jerry is a great owners. I think Jerry sucks as an owner. If Jerry was a good owner, he would deal with the fact he is an idiot when it comes to football knowledge and hire a football guy for a GM. But no, Jerry cares far more about getting his face in the camera and being the center of attention with the media above the Cowboys. Make no mistake about it, the Cowboys and winning are a very distant second to King Jerra's infinite sized ego. He sucks as a GM and he sucks as an owner. All about himself and how much camera time he can get first, after that if the Cowboys should win then that is just icing on the cake but not really that important to Jerra.

I care about money first as well... so does everybody on this forum, at least if they are sane...

Unbelievable. There's more to life than money. I'm only 21 years old and I know this much.

Look, I don't hate everything Jerry does, I just want him to do what he did when he first came here (and briefly when he hired Parcells).

Hire good, strong coaches that have a strong presence, can evaluate talent and have great motivation skills and then don't undermine their authority.

I also want scouting and managment to have the expertise to identify and develop talent and have the courage and expertise to know when to let a guy go a year early vs overpaying and getting stuck with them or the cap hit well after their skills have eroded.

Turnover is a good thing and it's important to have competition at every position. A steady infusion of youth and a healthy fear of losing your job if you don't perform up to and beyond expectations is essential. No one should feel their salary or job is secure beyond a reasonable point.

Expect excellance and accountability from the jocks to the socks and equip everyone on staff to do so even if that means you have to take a step back from the limelight.

Lastly, win as an organization without caring who gets credit.

Excellent post. Great points.

Wow.....I think I have found my long lost twin. Read any of my stuff. Been saying this for a while. I THINK Jerry wants to win....BUT only if he can win HIS way. Which should be obvious is NOT going to cut it. All the crap we come up with every week leading up to a game is a bigger deal than the game. As if WINNING the game is a GIVEN. Dallas has become the NFLs version of the Real World. Evereyone in Dallas is an actor. We got guys like Bobby Carpenter....who DO NOT EVEN PLAY....yet is a regular on ESPN whenever they need someone to come on an speak about the pulse in Dallas. That is just laughable beyond words.

Actually, he cares quite a bit about winning. He just doesn't know when to get out of the way. There's a reason Donald Trump doesn't personally draw up the blueprints of the buildings he finances.

 

[Quarterback Coach]

Reading posts people complain about facts...I understand...

FACT...NO PLAYOFF WINS....

FACT: NO THER OWNER OR GM DOES PRESS CONFERENCES WEEKLY...

FACT: DALLAS IS THE HIGHEST NET WORTH NFL FRANCHISE...

FACT: NO OTHER OWNERS RUN OFF SUPER BOWL CHAMPION COACHES (i.e. NEW ENGLAND, INDIANAPOLIS, etc.)...

FACT: YOU CAN'T WIN WITH DISTRACTION (...isn't this why people wants cuts???)...

Do these count? If not keep believing what Jerry says...he wants you to

Try reading some of the interviews and books written about the JJs, you may wanna take this one back.
