This happened over 20 years ago

Only difference is Jerry will never go 2-15 or 3-14

For all his crap he can put together double digit win teams easily

Just not double digit teams that can do crap in the playoffs

Some of the differences between Al Davis and Jerry:
  • Al Davis was more interested in the football side of things. He studied film, was a great scout of talent and was a former coach and understood the Xs and Os of football. Jerry loves the business side more, just likes to play GM and is more like a fantasy football GM. Jerry is not a football expert.
  • Davis has only one child, Mark Davis, who inherited the team’s ownership from his father. Jerry has 4 children (that we know of) 3 of whom he will acknowledge.
  • Al Davis had a team win a conference championship and make the SB in 2003, and he had 5 SB appearances over 4 decades. All Jerry’s SB appearances were in the first decade of his ownership, 3 decades ago.
Al Davis was bad at the end of his time as owner/GM of the raiders, but he did have playoff success in multiple decades. Jerry’s playoff glory days were all in one decade.

Both of them have a similar problem.

It's not that Jerry doesn't care about winning. Jerry just doesn't care about winning unless it's done his way. It's not fun for him otherwise, it's someone elese's accomplishments.

He will accept endless seasons of mediocrity and early playoff exists over one season with a Super Bowl where Jerry sat quietly and the trophy was won by an outside GM and coach that had freedom and roster authority.

This is 100% correct. Excellent post.

There's only one hope in our future that someone with a lot more money than Jerry and who is as big a cowboy fan as we all are on this forum gets fed up watching this Spit show and makes Jerry an offer he can't refuse.

Has to be somebody young enough and wealthy enough also disgusted enough to take on this project and make something out of this team again.

How many of those people exist on the planet I'm not sure probably some that don't even know what football is or care.

But as long as Jerry or any of his descendants own this team we will never see a championship.

New ownership is our only salvation

The point is that they have at least contended. The Cowboys haven't even come close to contending in the 21st Century.

It’s even darker than that for Jethro cause his championship caliber success can’t even stretch over his first decade. It was basically completely limited to the team Jimmy built .

Jethro owes Jimmy everything he’s inherited which has provided him this pass for life it appears .

Jethro would have never survived in Dallas without the success with the team Jimmy built. And probably either been ran out of town or he would have moved the team or forced to sell.

He would have never had the support to move the team in a new stadium and probably not of been successful in suing the league for stadium sponsorship rights .

Jethro wouldn’t have been inducted into HOF without the early success with team Jimmy built. The NFL might look much different than the revenue ********** Jethro has helped create .

And he’s created it so the lack of success on the field wouldn’t impact the revenue . Tex taught him a very valuable lesson when he told Jethro that the success off the field wouldn’t be possible without success on the field and why the Cowboys were losing money when he bought them.

Jethro took that early success like tapping his red Ruby shoes together spurring all of his narcissistic ways taking advantage at every turn enabling him to finally gain his lifelong dream of becoming a celebrity football guy without the level of success on the field determining his fate off the field .

Tex might have taken a similar path if he thought was possible. He and Rozelle were pioneers in promoting and hyping their brands establishing the popularity and revenue. But they always placed the integrity of the game striving for success on the field as priority.

Jethro has basically taken this lesson and
example to another level for his selfish and egotistical ambitions . Along the way after failing challenging it all for his own franchises benefit the league has reaped his rewards as well as NFL is only league in professional sports where all teams are in the black and no longer are dependable on success on the field for profits off the field.

But he must still face the fire when fans and patrons are left with a disappointing product on the field . Fans are even more frustrated because they don’t hold the power they used to impacting using their dollar to force change .

Exactly what Jethro intended. And why no change as fans would expect to come. Because he doesn’t have or need to. But he will have to take on the criticism if he insist on remaining in public view which he’s always felt necessary to continue the hype .

At the end of the day, they both won multiple SBs....how many fans out there wouldn't like for their teams to have done that. Just win, baby!
