Jerry down and out

[JustChip]

Yes, true. But old Jerry paid for everything, back then you could buy the best players. Look how Jimmy did in Miami, not much. I respect Jimmy alot, but it was both of them that got us those SBs.

Jerry the owner was a contributor, but not Jerry the GM. The only thing Jerry contributed to that early football success was hiring a competent coach and let him run the football operations without interference. Jerry had zero contribution to the football operation other than to sign checks and grin.

I’m not one that canonizes Jimmy, but the evidence that it was Jimmy and not Jerry responsible for the football success is the lackluster results for the past 2 1/2 decades. A time period in which Jerry has been the football guy.

At this point, even winning a Super Bowl won’t change that perception. The only way this team is going to get to and win a Super Bowl is for Jerry to go back to how it was with Jimmy. A strong coach that has the full powers for the on-field product. That includes the decisions on assistant coaches and players. Jerry isn’t going to do that because doing so would just confirm Jerry was not responsible.

People Love counting other peoples money like little B……!

That's all you bruh watch your mouth

 

[Loso86]

Don’t feel bad for him he’s the main reason for it

??

 

[zrinkill]

Now let me clarify that when I said I hope he does not recover ...... I was not talking about him dying ...... I was saying I hope he stays miserable like he has made Cowboy fans since the late 90's.

Exactly. If he actually cared about winning then he'd step aside and hire a GM. He refuses to do that, so one can only assume he doesn't actually care about winning. He's brought this misery on himself and the fans for nearly 3 decades.

That old coot being down is what makes losing more acceptable.

Remember what Crazy Al looked like when he’d stayed too long at the party?

He has made himself the face and voice of the franchise and both are annoying. But I’ve got this feeling that what’s waiting in the wings to take over is worse.

I want my Like back!

 

[john van brocklin]

nope

Then we are doomed !

Jerry's just wondering where all those years after Jimmy went. I wonder if he ever admits to himself how bad he screwed that up. He'd most likely be looking at 2 or 3 more SB trophies right now if he had swallowed his pride...

If you are really upset about the loss
Take responsibility and hire a gm.
Jerry is the man reason for the 28 years
Of futility.
Have some self awareness about your limitations.

I mean, seriously.

 

[john van brocklin]

I mean, seriously.

Yes ,
It is absolutely amazing to me that a good chunk of the fan base can see he is the problem and he cant see it himself.
He must have himself surrounded by a lot of yes men.
This is a modern version of the Emperour with no clothes....

Look at what just happened. We finally got a decent NT that I and many others have been begging for since 09, and BLAM, we were able to stop the run suddenly.

Why was our D good this year? NT and S's. Just what we've been telling Jerry.

He must have poor roster construction advise from his advisers.
How else can you explain these glaring holes on the defense for years ?

 

[john van brocklin]

A 1000 LIKES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since he's the GM and is responsible for hiring his advisors, it's on Jerry. Does he insist on certain things or is he getting bad advice? It really doesn't matter either way, as he's responsible for all as the GM. No one begged him to take this on, so I absolutely do not feel sorry for him.

Hey ! I agree 1000%.... Jerry is the GM and the buck stops with him!
He has no one to blame for the last 28 year fiasco but himself.
Now he's acting the victim!
This man appears to have no self awareness.

God is listening.

God is listening.

Not since he made that deal with the devil

All good points and we don't have to "cannonize" Jimmy. The Pro Football HOF already did.
