Jerry is still trying to rationalize the Micah trade

[Risen Star]

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on @1053thefan on the Micah Parsons trade: “We’re going to be getting players in the top 30 (draft picks). We’ve got two years of getting Green Bay’s top 30 player. And that should do some damage for us. And then we add that to the picks we’re going to have anyway, and that should do some damage."

“Now, by the way, in between that time, there are 30 other teams other than the Cowboys playing without Micah, this week. There’s ways to play defense and scheme that don’t necessarily involve any player, whether it be Dion Sanders, looking way back, or who it is, a lot of people won a lot of games and didn’t have Dion Sanders on the field for them. How’d that happen?"

“That’s called, you got to have about, minimum, 40-something players to play this game. Between being available with a nick or an injury, plus at the same time, just availability from the numbers of snaps in a game. You can’t go out there and rush the passer for 60 plays a game at all.

“My point is, all of this weighs into the consideration, and it was so much thought out over the last months that we needed an opportunity to see if our trade was there.”

Ignore that Machota thinks it's "Dion Sanders".

To be fair, the media needles and prods Jerry into answering those types of questions and/or defending those types of decisions.

I'm not saying he wouldn't bring it up himself of course because after all it is Jerry, but the frequency, persistence and longevity of the media questions and attention play a huge role in it lingering.

I'm sure Jerry would love nothing more than to move past talking about Micah completely at this point.

This is par for the course. He is constant defense mode over the job he does, and he constantly fails.

Word salad

There are people on this forum trying to say it will be better than the Walker trade ............ Jerryism is a disease.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on @1053thefan on the Micah Parsons trade: “Everybody’s looking for the guy that could absolutely singly make the defense. Everybody wants that guy. Now, we had him for four years, and you see what we did for four years. So, my point is, one guy doesn’t do it.

“Now, the closest thing there is, for one guy to make that much difference, is a quarterback. When you start going from there, then, man, you’ve got to really look at allocating 100 million, 200 million dollars. And allocating that over many players and positions. That’s exactly what I did.”

We better win Sunday or we could be winless going into the Packers game. Imagine Jerry then……..

 

[Risen Star]

Consider yourself schooled.

Let's be honest, if the Packers get to the Super Bowl, the fallout against Jerry will be brutal. Probably like nothing he has seen since firing Jimmy.

My issue is they lack direction again. They aren't contenders, but the Jones boys think they can be. Getting two potential late firsts and a 30 year old DT doesnt jive. Clark did look good in game one and maybe he has a strong season. In all liklihood he is here for a year or two and then will be gone. It appears needing a DT in the trade back limited their options and now have two potentially lukewarm first round picks. The DT issue should have been a main focus the second the season ended. Not trying to solve by trading your best player.

We traded a bird in hand for two in the bush.

 

[CATCH17]

The trade is fine.

Micah is awesome. I don’t regret the trade at all.

If football is a team sport then the Cowboys should be able to greatly improve their team with all these assets.

Jerry's not the only one still trying to rationalize.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

We won't know how this turns out for a few years.

 

[Cowboyny]

Still have zero issues with this trade, weren't going to win with him, need more players.
