Jerry Jones: Cowboys won’t initiate trade talks to improve roster before deadline

[InDakEyeBack]

Stuck with Jerry Jones and Mark Cuban, my two least favorite owners in all of sports for my two favorite teams in all of sports.

I have a feeling that a lot of you guys are going to be surprised. The Cowboys will make a deal or 2

Howie Roseman never played or coached football at any level in his entire life. Playing football does not provide the expertise required to manage a contemporary NFL organization. If you’re suggesting Jerry Jones is a capable General Manager of an NFL franchise than you have to be saying the Dallas Cowboys’ post season difficulties for the past 20+ seasons are entirely the result of his efforts.

Show me where I said playing football was a mandatory pre-requisite to being an nfl executive? I didn’t. I said it helps immensely and it does. I’ve also mentioned several times that roseman is one of the best in the business if not the best. He also spent 10 years with the eagles organization before he was made head guy in charge learning the business top to bottom.

I simply said that Jerry knows more about football than most people here and he does. He played the game at close to the highest level which does nothing but help him and he’s been in the business for decades and has multiple super bowl rings to show for it. The cowboys also of late (last decade or so) have been a well run organization even if it’s not to the standard us as fans want.

The Mavs are/were championship quality recently, now the rangers. Here is Dallas and we haven't sniffed a SB in 27 years. CLEARLY its Jerry. Hès the 1 constant stumbling block.

We want to be surprised. Trust me.

Cuban is a bad human being as well... and from what I hear, Jerry is a baddie. I have the same issue my friend. Its a luv hate thing.

Jerry sleeps well at night because even as he sleeps, hes making millions in business ventures, team merch, ticket sales, what have u. What motivation does he have to better the team when its already the top-rated sports franchise in the world? Thats a big conundrum. Its all a carnival act to him as far as pretending to wanna win a SB and such. He has fun with it like a Hobby.

 

[Walker]

Why upgrade we love our guys we are aiming for a wild card exit.

that actually does not make sense. Jerry is at every game home and away, he gets excited when they win, bummed out when they lose.
I think he wants to win a champ or a SB, but for some reason is not willing to go all out to do it.
I think his brain just cant see the big picture, and I guess maybe he thinks he will live forever, so has plenty of time to do it.

He also may be a compulsive tightwad, and so is even tight with the cap money which he cant put in his pocket.
he is just a nut lol, so I can see where a young jerry would have driven jimmy crazy enough to just get in his car and leave town, and not come back
except for that last PC. and his last check.

The point is the amount of football he knows compared to the average fan and the fact that he’s inserted himself as GM of the team means he is infinitely more responsible the the Cowboys’ post-season struggles than any fan. So it is fair for fans to criticize him whenever the spirit moves them because the problems are a result of his efforts, not the fans’. What the fans don’t know about football or running a NFL franchise does not hinder the Dallas Cowboys organization. The same cannot be said for Jerry Jones. What Jerry Jones is unable, unwilling, or just too stupid to do is the Cowboys’ problem. Fans may not know as much about football as he does, but they certainly know he is a poor NFL General Manager. For god’s sake a blind man is able to see it.

28 years and counting...

Agree with most of whats been said.. personally I cant stand Jerry.

but I disagree with the whole "Jerry doesnt care about winning a SB"

I think he is desperate to win one,, he knows a lot of Cowboy fans dont give him any kudos for the 90's.. and he would like nothing more than to prove everyone wrong.

The biggest problem imo is he has no clue HOW to go about it since the cap was introduced.

I am starting to see a bit of Dan Snyder in Jerry. That did not end well for Snyder. With a huge ego you must have some common sense. That statement showed zero common sense. You are always looking at ways to improve your roster. Especially when your most recent draft class is displaying almost zero talent.

 

[Blackrain]

Heck Jerry don't care about improving the roster he leaves that teams like the eagles who really want to win a super bowl he just cares about having us on TV every week so he can make a ton of money

 

[Sarge]

3 decades and counting…….”we like our guys.”

"If anyone has any good ideas on how to improve our roster, please call me. We can't compete with SF and I'm a'scared of Philly. Please help."

show me where I said we can’t criticize him? Because I didn’t. I have a picture of his son with clown paint on his face, I’ve criticized him plenty and them plenty and it’s well deserved. The difference is I don’t delude myself into thinking I know more than jerry like some do here.

And again you guys always deflect….if you think this team is talented and a piece or a big trade away (which is the premise of this thread) and are mad at him for his perceived lack of aggressiveness in a year where we have a chance- ask yourself why we even have a chance and a talented roster to begin with? How can we be both “close” or on the “hump” of being elite with such a “poor gm”?

The fact is the cowboys have been a very well run team of late. Doesn’t give Jerry a pass for the lean years or change everything in totality but they’ve been well managed from a roster building aspect- look at their draft selections etc. we are right up there with the best. Now we need to translate that to further than the division round and Jerry can certainly be flamed for opening his big mouth at times- but many times he’s manipulating the fans with comments he doesn’t mean and the fans don’t get it.

The cowboys are 100% being active around the league, whether it leads to a deal we will see.

 

[phildadon86]

The Titans would. Keep an eye on Henry.

LOL. Man you really must work for the organization. I am convinced.

 

[phildadon86]

Recognizing you’re not the best team in the conference while also saying you have no real interest in improving the team….that about sums up the last 25 years of the Dallas Cowboys.

Yup
