Amazing how many so called 'smart posters (they have to be that since they proclaim it themselves) do not understand Jerry still has the final say on things.
Lmao. So you’re telling me that a guy who ran the team one way for 20+ years, suddenly changed his way of doing things in his 70’s? Does that make any real logical sense? How many 70 year old billionaires pivot constructively?
It’s clear that the team makes decisions not in the same way they used to. If we didn’t, we would’ve drafted Johnny Manziel and not Zack Martin. The drafting, team building, and borderline extreme financial conservatism of the post 2012 Cowboys is so much different than the 1997-2011ish ways.
We are so much more consistently competitive and a much better team at building rosters. We also do not even look into big outside FA’s. Both of these are not Jerry Jones making decisions behavior.
So what is it? He suddenly decided to change how he does things at 70? Or is it the much more plausible scenario of him relinquishing some control to SJ, McClay, and coaches?
Cause something changed, so please enlighten me on why the team operates much differently now than in the mid-2000’s for example. Obviously Jerry has some influence, but to think he’s as involved or doing much more than a rubber stamp at this point where he’s clearly senile and not able to make decisions clearly is ignoring the obvious changes in how the team is built and operated.
Love when people claim Jones behavior and power are still the same as his heyday. Dude is a walking nursing home, he’s not making nearly the same amount of nitty gritty football decisions as he tried to do before. His age plus the clear differences in how we build rosters is clear evidence he does not have the same spoon in the soup that he used to.
