Jerry loves it when we blame coaches and players

[zrinkill]

Control of this team will have to be pried from his cold, liver spotted hands.

Hopefully soon

 

[blueblood70]

Yeah, I mean, we should have drafted Sanders in round 4. Or maybe he was too much of a circus given his helicopter dad. Or maybe next year we do draft one.

They like Stroud, whom I think is the best QB drafted recently. So they know how to evaluate.

Of the first of all, we had no round 4 picks the last 2 drafts and have tried addressing QB in trades vs drafts....

so, I'm not sure where you're getting that it would have had to been round 5 and I believe they had bigger needs because they had already made the trade for Milton, isn't that right?​

​

But once again Jerry's blamed for passing up on a quarterback that everybody else passed up on for many rounds, who knows why but ,we already had a quarterback in place, and we picked up Milton with a draft pick.​

Should they have considered it, sure, but how do we know they didn't?

This team is riddled full of holes, and we have a quarterback that's going to be on the team for at least two more seasons ,

I think they needed to fill some more of those holes over a quarterback,

so I'm going to have to deny anybody claiming we should have drafted a high quarterback,

yes, it's Jerry's fault we're in this pickle, and that we wasted two 4th round draft picks on Lance and a wide receiver, we could have gotten probably after he was likely released....

Oh yes, Jerry's bad decisions cost us some 4th round picks that cost us even having an option at picking a quarterback, when we have so many needs and still that needs and yes that's his fault for last year not filling enough needs that this year you can't fill them all and you have to skip quarterback in the draft..

I think this is more nonsense having a post started like this because it makes no sense to me why would jerry want us to blame coaches and players when he picks the coaches and players?/!!​

​

none of this makes sense,​

​

can people use common sense when they're posting, I mean first of all you're in his mind how do you know what he loves and this is pointed at Old Bob who loves to have 75% of his posts of Anti Jerry/ Anti Front office, with no proof whatsoever that that's what Jerry's thinking, because in my opinion Jerry would just be pointing the finger back at himself he chooses all these coaches and most of the players....​

​

Bob now reads minds,, hmmm makes sense it what posters claim to know everything...​

I never owned a Zuzo Enswami but their Botwako model is supposed to get really good gas mileage.

Of course if you stared down the barrel of a MOAB coming at you wearing two left footed boots, you'd know that

 

[CCBoy]

Maybe this is a 3rd grade class.

Just Kidding everyone.

I'd challenge that on functional I.Q. demonstrated, much less football discussed...not complained about.

Look him in the eyes and tell him he hasn't been distilling alcohol since he was 12.

Prohibition came, went, and returned. Anyone like peach brandy? I like peaches...and in tea.

Just ask him how to get the licka out quika.

In 2016(when Dak arrived), the Cowboys were worth a little over 4 billion. Today, they are worth about 10 billion. In Jerry’s eyes, Dak is the perfect face for the franchise. He is a family man with no major off the field issues and is involved with a lot of charities. As long as he keeps the team in the “conversation” for a title, is all JJ is concerned with. For the most part, Dak has done that(the same thing Tony did). If winning championships were JJ’s only concern, Jimmy Johnson would’ve been coach until 2005.

 

[MikeT22]

Never in the history of the NFL has any team won three consecutive 12 win seasons! Not even with a fan's 30 year calendar to the contrary.

Did you buy the 12 win T-shirts?

 

[ArtClink]

When did I say that....frustration is part of the enjoyment....acting a fool, shouldn't be.

Well certainly, if you're paying attention, I think you'll find that certain folks are trending up while others are trending down. Assuming splunge is central to our success, then there must be banana patch delivering a whimsical whammy at every turn, regardless of the fallout. Now that is something we can ALL agree on, right?

 

[Bobhaze]

I doubt "above average" is going to win a Superbowl trophy.

That is a very succinctly on target description of the last three decades.

While some of that might be true,

I'm a tell you right now Jimmy wasn't staying here till 2005, that's not who he was just like Parcells ran at the first sign of a struggle and a challenge,​

​

they didn't have the patience for total rebuild, they wanted it to work right away or they were going to leave..​

​

jimmy Johnson's team was deteriorating, getting old, they were leaving and there was no way he was rebuilding here..​

​

the breakup was mutual and had he even stayed until 2000, I don't think the results would have been different than what Barry Switzer did with the rest of the team while it still had some life left in it, it was on a downhill fall just like Bill Belichick left and yes he was there a lot longer but that's Bill Belichick the different kind of coach,​

​

but the parcel's and Jimmy Johnson types do not stay very long go look at their history he didn't stay long at Miami Hurricanes or the Miami Dolphins and by the way didn't do spit with the Miami Dolphins , anybody else couldn't have done what both of them wanted were to become GM's because apparently everyone around here thinks they're geniuses putting together teams, then why did neither one of them get true full time GM options? That's what they both truly wanted they wanted a GM job they wanted control of player personnel and neither one of them got it after they left here no surprise....​

Because that was overrated, what happened here with the Cowboys was a perfect storm the owner bought the team at the right time there was a right mix of players that were left here ,and then you made a trade, that probably doesn't happen very often with Herschel Walker, you were able to put together one of the greatest teams ever assembled and it was only happening once ,you were not striking lightning in a bottle twice, with all the changes to the salary cap and free agency...

You can balk at that all you want, but I promise you that we both know it was mutual, and yet everyone blames Jerry for what happened you cannot embarrass your owner in public just because you're drunk and expect nothing to happen but even if it could have worked out both of them decided they didn't want to work with each other anymore, but the other fact I already stated this team wasn't going to last past 2000, go look at they all broke down they got old they set their records ,they got their Hall of Fame bids, they're done, it was going to be done..​

This team was built with a bunch of great players that still had a little left and they did they went to an NFC championship game and lost a weird one and then got another championship it wasn't going to do much else after and Jimmy knew it and Jimmy was going to leave anyway.

Again, you could try to discredit what I said but it is the truth everybody knows Jimmy wasn't going to stay here very much longer and yes it was premature the mutual break up because of what happened that night at the bar, but they both admit they're both equally responsible for that breakup, but I know those types really well, and he wasn't going to stay past 2000, somehow in your brain you think 2005 was some number you randomly pulled out of your arse?​

Jimmy's window of opportunity would have been gone past 2000, probably before that they got everything they could out of that team and the NFL was changing that team was changing and Jimmy was going to run anyway he just ran a little sooner...

No one's saying that Jerry afterwards did make a bunch of mistakes those first 5+ years were the worst he's ever been but the last 10 years he's been better in the last five years even better than that he's definitely not a top front office guy but he's not the worst and we all know the history and yet people keep trying to reimagine history as if something would have been better had the breakup not happened and I don't think it could have this team only has so much life in it and then it was over..

Being an adult once meant being objective and not non instant crying on top of one's own frustrations.

Survival on a homestead...and a bear will charge you at 35 miles an hour that you are wanting for a defensive tackle. You don't make sense.

Yes, my apologies for my knee jerk, gut reaction to our franchise failing to win consecutive playoff games thirty years in a row. You’re right, I’m just not being objective.

Fan Myth that fans created to hate on the team. The value went up from all the money poured into the NFL from TV contracts and advertisement revenue.
ALL owners are in it for the money.
ALL teams have to work within the same salary cap. What money Jerry makes on top of that is called capitalism. Like all owners and businesses.

The difference is Jerry just mishandles a lot of stuff when it come to the GM part of it. It has nothing to do with paying Dak to bring in more money.

As I’ve said earlier this week, this is slowest time of year in the NFL calendar. Post draft, free agency, OTAs, mini-camps, but a few weeks from training camp. Zzzzzzzz…..

But this is also the time of year when our fans seem to be the most easily aggravated at each other by the same old arguments about the QB. Count me as exhausted by all that. Yeah I would love to see a better QB in here, I really would. And a better, more accomplished head coach, and better DTs and RBs, yada yada.

Guess who loves the fan base arguing and mudslinging over Dak Prescott? Or blaming Garrett or McCarthy or the 5 other HCs JJ has hired since Jimmy left? Jerry Jones loves the fans blaming Dak Prescott and coaches and anyone else for the mistakes he’s made. As long as we are arguing about the failures of players and coaches it takes the spotlight off the 82 year GM who is the architect for it all, and by design 100% responsible for the product on the field.

Answer these questions:

• For those who are screaming “Dak sucks” daily, are you as angry about the guy who keeps re-signing and overpaying him?
• Who is responsible for paying Dak Prescott the biggest contract in NFL history? Twice!
• Who is responsible for hiring HCs like Chan Gailey, Dave Campo, Wade Phillips, Jason Garrett and Brian Schottenheimer? (I know, Schotty deserves a chance before writing him off) Are we to believe those are the best coaches America’s Team could find?

I could ask more questions. But you get the picture.

For every player or coach who has ever done anything good or bad here, they were all hired, signed and approved by the oldest GM in NFL history. And supported and assisted by his son whose primary qualification is his birth certificate. And they all have lifetime contracts no matter what results they manifest.

And they can vastly overpay for the QB we are tired of, and hire underwhelming head coaches, many of whom had zero prior head coaching experience, get fleeced in stupid trades, and win 4 wild card games in a quarter century.

And watch us fans fight like 10 year olds day after day over the overpaid, underwhelming QB who is here only because our GM 100% wants it that way.

Who should really be receiving the blame?

I don't think Jerry cares who we blame. He just cares that his team is one of the most-watched and he makes lots of money. I still believe he wants to win, but only if it is done his way. He's egotistical enough to still believe his way will work.

 

[Catpappy]

I agree with you. Just hope we get a quarterback in here that threatens the whole field one day. Good post

 

[fivetwos]

I know. Who would have ever dreamed a bad actor would mk all the football decisions under the influence of Johnny Walker Blue and zero NFL qualifications lol?

Ah come on….give the guy a break. He is new at the acting thing and needs time. He isn’t like a 7th round DT that we all know will be great immediately. Different craft.

Wait until the Netflix Ego Special drops. That ought to land him some more roles playing himself, and gain him more popularity and notoriety….which is the real goal of it all.

It's true. I was at the charger preseason game last year and had a field box and lo and behold. There's Jerry doing an interview 20 yds away from me. I was thinking if I only had a box of rotten tomatoes.
