Jerry Jones should win Executive of the Year 2 years running

[ShiningStar]

that can be said for 31 other teams. Bottom line Jerry is the head man all of these people work for him. At any given moment if Jerry does not want that coach or that player they are gone.

hats being a boss not a gm, lets not cross lines here. a good gm knows what to keep and what to discard, a boss does it without talent factor.

Time to move along. Just my .02 worth.

You're probably right, but I see a little hope...

It's not about forgetting. It's about giving credit where it's due. You're rehashing old news to knock Jerry down. No one is saying Jerry hasn't made brutally bad decisions. I have raked him over the coals myself. However, what he has done the last couple years and so far this off season, raises and eye brow and deserves credit. If for no other reason than how poorly he had made decisions previously.

No one is ignoring his mistakes. This is a one year award. I don't know how to phrase that to get through to you.

The best thing Jerry has done lately is surround himself with good football minds on the draft, and listened to his son more and listening to other people. Allowing them to get more involved in the team and the decisions. That, and kicking Garrett to the curb as far as offense and relegating him to a walk around, fanny patting, clip board holder on game day. LOL

Hiring and firings, player and personnel decisions are made by the GM/Owner. Both of those positions can win Executive of the Year. Robert Kraft has won Executive of the year.

No one's picks have played this year though. Every GM is going to be rated and or discussed based on projections of their picks. It's the same for every single GM. With that in consideration, the Cowboys got three top-20 caliber players without making any moves. I can't hype that enough. That is an absolute coup.

if it pans out great if not, happens. but for all 3 to pan out, wow. can it happen, sure, let me ask this, and not to be argumentive. when was the last time that hapened, even just for the cowboys? do you know or shed some insight?

In this case the Boss is the GM. A good GM works with his coach and his scouts not just Jerry they all do. When those moves have failed it has fallen directly on one man but by the same token when those move pan out he or any GM should be given credit.

Shoot, you won't get an argument from me on any of that. Can you think of a bigger decision a GM has made in the last decade than Jerry Jones relinquishing power and duties? I can't. Sincerely.

But the award is based on ONE YEAR. I am not being argumentative, but you're sincerely not getting it. All we can work on, in regards to draft picks, is their projection.

thsi i disagree wiht slightly, Mara is the Boss, Reese is the GM, big difference. teh GM can not fire all as the boss can. THe boss doesnt need talent as the GM does for his success.. Does tha tmake sense?

ok ill agree to that.

In NY that may be the case, this is not New York. Jerry is the final say and he is also the owner he is the GM of the Dallas Cowboys.

thats why im saying a difference between a boss and a GM. thats my distinction.

That is fine that is how you see it. In Dallas Jerry is the GM and like most GM they hire scouts and coaches and if they are smart they listen to what the scouts and coaches are telling them. GM like any other position of authority is only as good as they people they put around them.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Hats off to Steven Jones and Jason Garrett for reigning in the Silver Haired Gremlin,,, lol. He really does seem to have turned the corner at GM.

The beauty of his Barnum and Bailey grandiosity is that when things start to go right and you throw in some luck "BOOM" they take-off exponentially.

exactly thats why i said i disagree with it a little bit and thats the point i wanted you to see. The rest i agree with you.

Jerry owns his mistakes and the crappy years he gave us as gm/owner, but I still say I wouldn't trade him for any other owner.
The Gregory pick is more about luck and having a system in place to support players like him ahead of most franchises over the years.
Collins being available at all is unfortunate for him and lucky for us, but I'll say this:
Jerry is the greatest salesman in the NFL...when he sets his sights on a guy, he gets him!
I thought there was no way Collins seriously considers Dallas....he just lost a ton of money in the draft; why in the world go to a team where a starting spot isn't guaranteed from day one? Why go to a team where you aren't going to be the left tackle and maximize earnings in the future? Won't happen!

Jerry gathers the coaches, the Pro Bowl OL, Tony Romo, and has the kid to his private mansion/home....deal done!
Jerry has plenty of warts, but how can you not love the guy?!

aww...so in your book, Garrett is the 2nd coming of Jimmy Johnson since that's what he did as head coach too.
