Jerry Jones should be worshiping the ground Jimmy Johnson walks on

Unbelievable. Actually, Jerry made more of those decisions than Jimmy . Jimmy has his revolving door. Then he got caught up in.
How long are you going to keep up with this falsehood?

“The time I was with the team, I had complete and total responsibility over the football operation,” he told Horn earlier this week. “That meant personnel, the draft, coaches, including the strength coach. Everything. It was always in my contract. …

“When we signed that first contract, Jerry said, ‘I’ll be in charge of the finances, you’ll be in charge of the football,’ we’ll make history,” Johnson added.

Hell, he should be worshiping mine. I've been screaming about this for 3 years.

Troy was going to be the first pick regardless.

Jimmy wanted an LB, but I believe he was gone at that point so they selected Emmitt. But it’s not like it was Jerry’s or Jimmy’s decision and Jerry override him.
Troy was going to be our QB if Landry stayed.

Look at the drafts after Jimmy left. It's clear who made the decisions.
The numerous opportunities at drafting was the reason for player successes then. And No, Jimmy didn't walk on water then as the now Hillbilly Ballad goes.

He was a good coach, disloyal, and earned being fired...truth. That is as far as I will bend all that occurred on that team. It was it's own group...and Jimmy purposely deserted them and their sacrifices.

You are dead wrong about this. Don't know why you have decided this lame hill is the one you are going to make your final stand on.

Actually Amigos, the ROH is the last of our concerns right now. This team is flawed and can't win when it absolutely needs to. How to fix that problem should be the most critical concern on everyone's mind that has a say in the team's future

Full of crap and play with a non-factual cause with a number as your proof. Holds no validity. Changes of a team stand on the play of roster and coaches. Now play some more and ***** with as that is this basis of yours. Not merit. You show no faith and or real care for the team...buy the team with enough money, or label facts on actual wins/losses without going straight to accepting no merit for accomplishments actually achieve.

Your statement actually has zero credability, as much facts have been posted a plenty on achievements over that picked upon period for quite a while.

You want a lombardi at the entrance of each bump in the road of a season, how about this...just shut your complaining on 27 years, queers, steers, fears up.

Or weather being a fan. Can't? Get a team you root for. Not achievements already in the past...and then bath in that as your own, now.
oh, so somehow your love of Cowboys is better and bigger than mine.

27+ years of results (or lack thereof) is enough proof. we have seen this same exact movie over and over and over, with different cast of characters on the field. tell me I am lying? you want to dig into the circumstances for each, spin it one or the other. please go ahead. END RESULT is the same.

my statement about Jerry the GM/Owner and this team has all the credibility given the results. what have you to say it doesn't? you have zero credibility in anything you say. prove it otherwise?

and no lombardi at the entrance of each bump, but when there is bump after bump after bump after bump and same results, never able to get over the hump, then there is a problem. I think you are sticking your head in the sand, refusing to see it.

at the end of the day, the GM/Owner is responsible for the product on the field. tell me you like this product and its results?

I don't use a complainer's basis for standard...first of all. If I see something, positive or negative, I state that. My post is based upon elements with sources...not opinions. Yea, in a discussion or analysis, that is more reliable. Your label of years was once used for descriminations. Remember that?

He wanted Emmitt, Troy was a no brainer.

So that's one player Jerry wanted. So I guess that means he made more decisions.
Jerry even said on video a long time ago that he made almost no decisions. He was too busy doing business trying to hold it all together at first is basically what he said.

Although It was a lot easier without the cap, etc... and you could basically just fire someone who sucked and move on.

The cap was needed, but some of these contracts now just tie the hands of organizations at times.

Not in Dallas...his head coach states direction and makes decisions.

Not in Dallas...his head coach states direction and makes decisions. Jerry and Stephen have to negotiate with the players and is a constant battle.

Sorry, the only standard being maintained is complaint of a NFC Championship or Super Bowl. This is professional football and that is not a standard of even excellence in play or achievement...no, that is the Glory of the Sport and only one team a season makes it there.

ONE, it is a very rough sport to ride out both injuries and mishap.

All you do here, is continue a whipping boy for your own entertainment. That is even poor entertainment but you pound chest on the very necessity to just ***** and challenge on that basis. That is not being a fan and keeping faith...not stupidly, but loyalty.

Your way is stupid...I won't walk that path.

I'll just keep my pride in current successes as well as past top achievements as well. I've been a FAN through it all, for your information.

No, I don't exchange faith for rewards. I still keep the faith and love the sport...even if the Cowboys take a rough bought in the course. You certainly don't justify the blame game do you?

I'll let the season round out before I scamper off the ropes at different ports of call.

Salary cap Jerry and non-salary cap Jerry are two totally different things. He’s worthless at this point, actually a handicap.
What will the secondary look like next season once all are whole again? Good, maybe?

That's the best head coach he has ever had. Jimmy was basically the GM too and was great at that too. So yah Jerry better put Jimmy in the ROH before it's too late. Without Jimmy , Jerry Jones would have been an abysmal failure in the NFL.
Yes, imagine if Jimmy had turned Jerry down. Jimmy either continued as the Miami Hurricanes head coach or some other NFL team hired him. Jerry hires some scrub HC and starts meddling right away. We would have had no Super Bowls in the 90s. It would be like now where winning the division from time to time is our best accomplishment. We would not have been champs since Super Bowl 12.

what I stated is not complaint. its facts. its reality. results in 27 years? how many QBs, how many coaches? results is the bottom line. everything else is an excuse.

Says you, don't hail reasons for failure with sequential numbers.

Foolishly insult respect to someone else.

I don''t care a second if somehow you affix and today is brought to you by number 55.

what sequential numbers!!!. tell me I am wrong about the results in the past 27 years?

you love Jerry, perhaps you work for him. but would any GM survive the past 25 years. show me one outside of Jerry. a single example would suffice.

what are you defending and disagreeing with anyway?
