Jerry Jones is the Anchor

[MountaineerCowboy]

The situation you are obsessed with over a certain player.

The funny thing is you’ll be defeating him on another thread at some point today.

One foot on both sides of that fence. Scared to death to either be in or out on him.

You read more of it than I,

because I'm not even opening it, you know why because it's been said 100 * before,I don't need to read it to know what it's going to say.. These stories are redundant and unnecessary first of all the contract stuff we talked about it with lamb and Prescott this is not the same I think it's gonna be done before that but it's getting done so why talk about it it doesn't matter right now the Cowboys have more money right now to do something with free agents this contract specifically with Parsons is not him back from making moves. This is not last year's offseason they have done 10 times more this offseason even if it's not the way you like it then they did as far as being active and getting ready for the draft it's been far better night and day than last year.

my thoughts were did we really need another post on Jerry Jones or to complain about free agency, the front office, or anything that we cannot change?​

​

literally ,watch football!!!!!​

​

let's talk football and that's about it, anything else is just complaining and whining of things we cannot change..... So, why do we need hundreds of posts on Jerry Jones in the front office nothing's going to change unless one of you that's $15 billion and the NFL actually puts up a team for sale that you can run for yourself and or Jerry Jones would be willing to sell you the team for that, but right now it's not for sale there's nothing going to change probably the next 10 to 20 years is going to be like this,​

​

so why do we need hundreds of posts saying the same things redundantly daily basis I just really want to understand the mindset of some of these writers content creators or fans in here that need to post every one of these links..​

It's not going to change the Jones family will own this in some capacity passing it down to each other probably in the next 10 to 20 years So what? Maybe if you have enough money to hire a fixer and to set up the Jones family somehow and get them to sell the family I mean maybe you can come up with that kind of money because I know none of you in here even collectively are coming up with $10 billion to buy an NFL franchise that's not even up for sale you're going to lose on both ends so the complaining I hope it makes everyone feel better because it's getting very old to some of us that open this up on a daily basis and there's Jerry Jones or something about the Jones family and just about every single post...

To me it's about football, just like I really don't care anymore about Nico and the Luka trade, it's over, I'm a Mavericks fan I hope Luka sprains an ankle. LMAO I hope he has a bad year, I hope the Lakers fail I'm a Mavericks fan, nothing that the GM or the owner did is going to change the fact that on my Mavericks fan, so no I'm not pulling for Luka to have a big game tonight... I hope he sprains an ankle, that's right, that's what a fan does they just follow the players and coaches he watched the games comment on the games we're have no control.​

​

You think somehow if Jerry Jones made a stupid trade into our division with Parsons during the draft then I'd be so mad at Jerry that I would pull for an NFC East team just because Parsons went there? You think I would buy a Philadelphia Eagles jersey with Michael Parsons name on the back just because he used to be a cowboy no he's no longer a cowboy I'm no longer a fan.​

Which by the way,

the Denver Nuggets: this is what happens when an owner really meddles.... he fired his head coach whose team's in fourth place and they're going to make noise in the playoffs, because he disagreed with the way player rotations were used at the end of a game, and he doesn't get along with the head coach, so he decides with eight games left in the season to fire his head coach and let the GM know he won't have a job next year..

Does that count as lame duck management? you talk about bad ,let's talk about those two owners and GM of these two franchises because if you think ours is bad, that Jerry's the only one that meddles, here's some proof that someone's firing their head coach of a successful team because he didn't like a play call or a rotation of a player..

I thought that was the job of the coaches, and maybe even layered into the GM but this is an owner saying he didn't like the play calls, and he fired him right before the playoffs....

This stuff kind of goes on more than people think because you don't follow every sports franchise in every type of sports arena, and you find out that there are a lot of owners like this out there, it is what it is we have no control of the things that are going on.

I watch for the logo I follow the logo and the players that's it so whatever players are on this team whatever they feel this year is all I'm worried about...

lmao...Damn!

Jones has been pilloried for his insistence on control of his franchise when others would be far more qualified to take the reins. That has shown itself everywhere from the head coaches hired since Jones and Jimmy Johnson fell out over organizational control and the credit that comes with it in 1994, to overall personnel decisions that have mired the team in mediocrity for no good reason beyond Jones’s hubris and need to be the top dog.

But the worst dysfunction may well be Jones’s misunderstanding of how the modern player market works, because over and over, it’s sticking a knife through the heart of one of the NFL’s best evaluation rooms.

And based on Jones’s most recent comments regarding Parsons, there’s no reason to believe that it won’t continue for some time.

I found this part to be very well written and dripping with truths.

No I will not be. What I may do is defend against stupid insane comments that others may make (mostly to have fun). Not the player. I want a change.

Jerry cares most about consistently competitive Dallas teams. My read of his tactics is by overpaying his homegrown talent he secures their services and maintains stability, so overpaying is a non-issue.

As long as Dallas drafts relatively well and replinshes the few top end pieces they have while maintaining competent QB play, they will win enough games.

Now to the fans that is not enough. We want championships! Jerry has figured out the formula and most fans don't get it.

Division competitive teams that keep Dallas in the playoff picture churns media attention, stadium attendance (namely corporate suites), and product sales. My God, Jerry has even made this a side business folks! It's right in your face!! He sells the formula (literally) to other owners when they get a new stadium and market the corporate suites.

Jerry is laughing is arse off as fans call him incompetent.

Lots of truth here, but I also think they’ve allowed the roster to deteriorate to where this may still be the case, but it’ll result in a few less wins.

Washington and NY are done rolling over.

I wasn’t fully against extending Prescott the way some were…more like indifferent…but that injury is very likely to send him into decline mode, and when he is told to never run at all, he is going to struggle.

It was just the wrong call, and neither the first nor last Jerry contract that went south quickly.

So, I don’t see there being much left for Jerry to sell when they field a 5-7 win team for the next few years while trying to collect talent through the draft and former busts instead of free agency, which I’m thinking was the gist of the article in the OP.

 

[Jipper]

anchor dude; much heavier weight to have to carry around then any bird

well you sir need to go read the rhyme of the ancient mariner - Jerry has become the albatross around this franchises neck and until Jerry realizes the impacts of his actions and seeks forgiveness through change (or death), this franchise will be cursed

 

[Reid1boys]

just like the daily coffee.... come here to be miserable.

 

[jazzcat22]

Are you all in or all out on him?

The is a double edge question actually.

I am all out, as I want a change.
But until that happens, he is our QB so all in to root for him as the team goes. I will not root for failure to see a change.
As we know Jerry will not allow that. We know we are stuck with him for a few more years. Until his next injury each year.

But if I must to answer in or out. I am out. But not going to hate on the player. I just want a change for the better, like most do.

I was actually getting tired of Romo as well. I was starting to want a change back then. I think he should have got his job back though.

 

[jazzcat22]

Are you saying you get daily miserable coffee. Or coming here is a daily routine of being miserable like getting coffee daily?


I know what you mean.

 

[5Stars]

lol...yeah, I read it. Jerra says he would rather pay more for a player than paying less and get it wrong, as if the high paid players, Dakky Poo and little man child Micah will actually make it right.

Such a narcissist.

 

[MarcusRock]

I don't look over my shoulder, nor anyone else's.
How about you and your pal give it a break. But gang up all you want. I tell the truth, you all can't handle it.

When you are talking about what someone will post before they even post it, that's what I'm calling looking over your shoulder.

Is it "true" that a lot of topics around here can be bent to a negative slant? Yes. But that's what we all sign up for if we wish to remain here. Can you make them post something different? Nope. But if you continue to focus on it, it will always be with you and then your hope for more positive posts is always dragged down (like an anchor) as you unwittingly contribute to the negativity yourself. It's just inconsistent with someone who would rather see more positive posts. As a mod, you have to read them all, I get it but if they bother you that much to disrupt your posting peace, is it worth it?

 

[fivetwos]

Dude, seriously, I'm sitting here reading this and you guys just say one thing and then it it gets negated by the next thing you say... it makes no sense, Jerry Jones is supposed to be bad, but he hired the right people that are doing a good job ,which is it if he's hiring the right people that means

I know this is going to shock your system and probably go over your head ,

do you really think Jerry Jones woke up one day and said you know what today I'm going to bring Trey Lance over here, because I felt like it I woke up with lance on my mind while drinking coffee and eating his McMuffin?​

​

like HE made this decision all by myself ? the he alone wanted Lance? OR woke up one day and I was thinking about Mingo in the shower LOL IYNYK​

​

so, I'm going to bring Mingo over here I'm going to make a bad trade or a bad draft that I get blamed for all the bad things even though someone in this post someone in this thread someone who created that story to begin with the gaslight fans are the very reason these players are here,​

so, Jerry Jones gets blamed for all the bad decisions but you're trying to tell me that his coaching staff his scouts in this very department that you say are great or not the ones that brought these names to Jerry and said we need this guy in the draft right we need Taco we need HILL, weenie bingo we need Lance you're trying to tell me that Jerry made these decisions randomly independently by himself that the Jones family woke up one day and ignored all this good advice and just did this?

Is that what you're trying to sell me that anything good that happens with this team must be Jerry's people even though he hired these people right but all the bad decisions are on the Jones family because you hate them so it must have been their fault only independently by themselves made these decisions?

See how hypocritical that is you guys need to stop it!!

these decisions are all made because of the scouting department ,because of the people who breakdown video, people who are scouring for possible players that need to be added to this team, and they bring the names to Jerry, and yes he has the final say ,and yes I'm not saying these were not bad trades Mingo was the worst one out of all of them...

I can live with Trey Lance I can live with bringing over Milton..

In a quarterback starved league sometimes you just need to take a chance I mean you're trying to tell me that Lance was such a bad deal that both the 49ers who used three first round picks to move up and get him that Jerry was really stupid for going for 1/4 rounder and then turns around the charger signed him for $6 million I mean if Jerry's the only blind person in the NFL other people be making the same mistakes...

So lastly in summarization Jerry made these decisions because of things that were whispered in his ear during meetings people have meetings don't think that this is only ran by a monarchy Jerry sits there on a pulpit makes these decisions by himself the very same people that you're patting on the back like all the coordinators of the past and the present all the scouting department and will mcclay a past and present have brought these names to Jerry and yes he chose to overdraft or over used draft picks that probably should have been less..

But Jerry's not doing this on his own that is a fact if you think that that's why these posts never make any sense you're saying that every person that Jerry hire is doing a good job except when a bad decision is made and that's all on Jerry..

This is why it's a group effort these decisions were made by the staff and finalized yes by the Jones family but all the good ones do also finalized by the Jones family you're telling me that they finally got good safeties in here but now we're not patting Jerry on the back that must have been will McClay that must have been Dan Quinn you mean the same Dan Quinn, who begged for Mazi and Nashon wright types..


You get that right the same bad mistakes that collectively Jerry and Dan Quinn made with these players and more I'm not going to list them all they made for the good players and bell and Thomas, Hooker and DONO..

It's the same way hill was a bad pick but OSA was a great one., I mean that trade down to get Micah Parsons and also pick up ossa that was both Jerry Jones and will mcclay the same way picking Hill and Mazi were both people they're all making these mistakes or these positive things collectively you can't nitpick and cherry pick the bad ones blamed on the ownership and all the good ones you pat on the back to the people he hired..

So just maybe you should see both sides of this they're doing this collectively and yes the only thing Jerry's doing wrong is he trusting these people too much somebody needs to tell him don't give a fourth for Mingo because somebody there had to know that that was a bad thing and they should have told him you think Jerry would have resisted offering A 5 or A 6 for this guy or waiting till he became free this year and not have to give anything for him these same people are giving him bad advice or no advice he doesn't do these things on his own..

I’m not sure that was a McMuffin. It looked more like something that sits under a lamp at the gas station mini mart. Then he decided to add salt, which made me feel a little better about the potential future of the team, but that was years ago by now. Sigh.

It was likely an expired, molded bagel.

He is not an anchor. The Dallas Cowboys was a shiny ship, sailing on the high seas, until its last great captain was forced to walk the plank.

Cowboys football did what any ship sailing near a shore will do. It ran aground. Stuck. Going nowhere.

Jerry Jones is a sandbar. The sand is poisoned. It is why no one has ever gotten close enough to pry the ship loose.

 

[gtb1943]

I said I did not read it word for word, about the Micah info. I read the rest of it.
Does that clarify it for you? Or do I need to explain further?

As I always say, I tell the truth, and am honest about it. I did not have to post what I did, about reading it word for word, making everyone assume I did.

Did you read it? Word for word.

yeah I suffered for my team and read it

Many fans believe Jerry doesn’t care what fans or the media thinks and couldn’t be bothered reading things like this. I disagree. He is aware of public perception, but is happy he is being talked about. A scathing article vs praise is irrelevant, it’s about him….and that’s all that matters.

 

[Reid1boys]

Are you saying you get daily miserable coffee. Or coming here is a daily routine of being miserable like getting coffee daily?


I know what you mean.

I used to come here daily and discuss things. I just cant put myself through it anymore. No matter the thread topic, give it 5 or 6 responses and here it comes. Jerry sucks, 30 years, fire the gm, makes too much money, tickets and food are way overpriced, cheerleaders are getting fat(well, im exaggerating on that...lol) our draft picks have been trash, they overpay their players, Jerry is too loyal, that player sucks, cut him.... just the same toxic crap daily.

I now read a threads topic, normally looking for any player signings and quietly close the door s I leave, after having talked with nobody....... thus is the new way of business.

He is okay with it until his football competence is thrown back at him in face-to-face questioning. Or sometimes during radio interviews, lol.
