Jerry Jones: I 'scream in my pillow' being at, not in, Super Bowl; getting Romo a supporting cast is

[NickyDawg]

Is there one guy in this organisation who is thinking long term?its the same reactionary bull**** every season.

RE-Active...Never PRO-Active!!! That's what happens when you have a part time GM (though in the case of Jerry Jones I almost consider it a blessing).

Hard to believe the team finished 25th in the league in sacks given the massive investment in pass rushers the past two years in Lawrence, Hardy, Gregory. You can add signing Crawford to a big money contract to that list as well.

Maybe, just maybe they should employ a 1 tech that isn't equivalent to some guy you can sign off the street.

well I see the excuses and hype train are getting ready to be deployed.

 

[Jerryrage]

Time to wipe out the scouting dept. Oh wait.. You can't.. Because Garretts daddy is running it. RIGHT IN THE GROUND!

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Little too late. You waited too long Jerry.

"Candidly, I'm just counting on Tony to come back and have some of the greatest years, if not the best years, of his career," Jerry Jones said. "We want to make sure that we've got him the supporting cast. Defense, as Stephen said, is a big part of that. We tried to do it this year. We didn't get here. We'll keep trying to get it done. We got to be able to stop them."

He is so in love with Romo that he is too stupid to understand he needs to find the next Romo. Doesnt even cross his mind. Instead of hanging onto the final years of this Romo, make an effort to find the next Romo for the next 15 years going forward.

Jerry is 100% of the mindset last season was a fluke. So what will he say next year when this team goes 8-8 and Romo has missed parts of the season with injury, again?

When Bill Parcells was being wooed as the Cowboys coach near the end of the '02 season he wanted to bring in Mike Tannenbaum as general manager. Jerry told him that wouldn't work, that he and Stephen handled those duties. Parcells met with Stephen and decided to proceed. The two got along really well. That doesn't mean they didn't have their moments. One day Parcells began to yell at Todd Williams, now the team's director of football administration, telling him to stay out of the training room. The coach then caught Stephen out of the corner of his eye. "You keep your *** out of there too,'' Parcells said. "Just so we're clear, Todd is going to be in the training room,'' Stephen shot back. "He's there when I can't be and will be as long as we own the team. And as long as we own this team, I'll go anywhere I want.'' -- From a story by The Dallas Morning News' David Moore that was published on Sept. 12, 2015...

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones likes to tell the story of how Stephen threw him against a wall at the Mansion 20 years ago when the club was about to sign cornerback Deion Sanders. Stephen thought the seven-year, $35 million contract was excessive and would create problems with Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith. When Jerry said he was going into the next room to tell Sanders' agent that they had a deal Stephen grabbed his father by the arm and pushed him. "What are you going to do, hit me?'' Jerry asked. "I'm not going to hit you, but let's talk a little more,'' Stephen said. The Cowboys did sign Sanders, but Jerry went to Aikman, Irvin and Smith first to secure buy-in. -- From a story by The Dallas Morning News' David Moore that was published on Sept. 12, 2015...

One month before the Cowboys took Martin over Manziel the club released DeMarcus Ware, a Pro Bowl fixture during his career, because of his salary and made no attempt to retain defensive tackle Jason Hatcher in free agency. That was an overt sign of Stephen's growing influence. That was followed by the decision six months ago to allow Murray, the NFL's rushing champion, to leave in free agency. "That was a tough one,'' Stephen said. Larry Lacewell, who spent 13 years as the team's director of college and pro scouting, wasn't in the draft room the night the Cowboys passed on Manziel. He wasn't part of the discussion on Ware or Murray or the other personnel moves that have been made of late. He didn't have to be there to know what's taking place. "When push comes to shove, Jerry listens to Stephen,'' Lacewell said. -- From a story by The Dallas Morning News' David Moore that was published on Sept. 12, 2015...

Uh, don't look now, but the Cowboys were 8-0 in all away games in 2014. Does that say something negative about home games and Cowboys fans there?

No, it just says this team caught lightning in a bottle for 2014.

Oh, I'm sure that opponents were thinking that team was a whole field of lightening bugs...in 2014.

Then injuries meant nothing in 2015.

Don't offer any stock portfolios for sale to anyone as well.

Well, to be fair, his father is not involved, but his brother has his hands all over pro personnel.

Three generations in the NFL...yea, that is a pretty stupid group alright.

 

[Bullflop]

I can see where "screaming in your pillow" is highly preferable to the hiring of a competent GM, rather than unselfishly relegating oneself to ownership. Yep, Jerry has it all figured out.

 

[zrinkill]

I wish this drunk idiot would just shut up.

It meant enough to give Jerruh and his sheep an excuse going into 2016, apparently. You obviously know this franchise is all about winning consistently. Posting double digit wins in only 3 of the last 12 seasons screams that.........

 

[Redball Express]

Banking on Romo not getting hurt. Good Plan.

this time why don't we change the plan.

Lets plan on him getting hurt and let's finally draft his replacement..

whether it's temporary or long term.

Winning the games is what is important..not whether we are right or wrong with whether or not Romo wins a SB.

Then we may not have to worry about rebuilding the defense for the next 5 drafts.

What a concept.
