What a load of crap.
Jerry, shut up.
With the suspension, his cap cost has gone way down. I would hold on to him just in case you need him down the stretch due to injuries. If week 11 gets here and he is out of football shape and you are set at LBer for the stretch, cut him. Seems an easy no brainier to me unless you need his cap dollars now to improve the team for the whole season. If not, wait it out and gauge the situation when he is eligible to come back. We just may be in a situation where we a extremely happy to get him back.
No matter what he said, people are entrenched in their positions when it comes to McClain. Had Jerry said it was his call, he would have been roasted for it, as has been speculated. Jerry comes out and says all the coaches were on board, he must be lying. If he says nothing at all, then folks would be frustrated on the lack of information coming out about the situation.Right....
Right....
I'm not buying it either we had a thread that said the coaches where mad he missed mini camp.
Jason I want McClain on the team how do you feel about it?
I don't know Jerry how should I feel about it?
You and all the coaches should be happy to have him on our team.
Jerry I know I can speak for all the coaches we desperately want him on the team. Please find us another scumbag to disrupt our team.

This reads like a thread on an Eagles message board. It's popular and fun to bash Jerry, but he's always had a history of telling too much truth. From draft plans to FA, to contract negotiations. He definitely talks too much but I don't think he's an outright liar the majority of the time.
I'm not sure how he can simultaneously be the puppet master who's yes men do his bidding while simultaneously getting over-ridden on Manziel and Hardy. Weird

This line puzzles me, but it is classic Jerry Jones gibberish:
"Potentially recognized"?
He should be roasted regardless of what he says.
If he indeed let the coaches decide on McClain staying, that's a problem. Jones runs the team, he's the owner, he's the GM. It's getting pretty clear that McClain is just not worth the effort anymore. Jones needs to show some leadership and make what should be a pretty easy decision at this point.
If he is lying and made the call himself to keep McClain, that's a failure as well and he deserves criticism.
I am not sure how anyone cannot see the clear dysfunction with this team. You think it's just bad luck this team has been a non-factor for 20 years? There's no clear vision coming from the man in charge. His plans on how to build a team are haphazard. He changes course on a whim. He's too loyal to people he shouldn't be loyal to.
People can talk about the team needing this player or that player or upgrade here or upgrade there. But the biggest thing holding this franchise back IMO is that there is no clear vision/plan coming from the Jones family. Until that changes, I suspect you are going to get 20 more years of non-SB football in Dallas.
That whole paragraph. He is really reaching for any justification for his continuous fandom of Rolando, after the fact.
I mean, it comes across as desperate.
Didn't see the last line the first time. They're keeping McClain because they don't want the "cap hit". Sounds like a good excuse to take the decision out of the coach's hands.
