Twitter: Jerry on his negotiation theory

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Now I know why we can't put together a comprehensive team...no one understands our owners train of thought.

 

[cern]

I understood every word.

So did i.. it made perfect sense. He will not mortgage the team for one player. Perhaps a bit more prosaic than necessary, but real. Signing dak will be just as problematic this off season as last season. The fo is aware of this now. And prepared to be more resolute in dealing with it.

 

[waving monkey]

if nobody is negotiating in good faith dont wast the energy

 

[Vanilla2]

He’s obviously talking about 55

Man lost his mind,, Al Davis syndrome 101

I hope Stephen doesn't have him in the suite, in the wheel chair....Don't do him like that.

 

[Cmac]

Either dementia has fully set in or he has already bottomed out his morning bottle of JWB.

You decide.

Smooth with a cube of ice.....but it's a problem if you sampling in the morning. Poor JJ.

Agree. Not hard to glean his point— but JJ’s home-spun “folksy” wisdom is a tired schtick lol. This FO does waaaay too much negotiating/talking/posturing through the media as it is, without adding JJ’s incoherent ramblings into the mix IMO.

 

[Montanalo]

Where, oh where, did i put my Cracker Jacks de-coder ring?

Actually, his comments (or, more precisely my interpretation of his comments) makes convoluted sense. When Jerry doles out wisdom like this, I feel like I am sitting at the feet of master Yoda... ha!

 

[visionary]

Clearly, Jerry is talking about Dak.

I think Dak called him to demand a trade

 

[Gaede]

Technically, I understand where he's coming from. But he's rushed to give big paydays to worse players, with less production. Why not the face of your franchise?

Also makes me wonder. Will they never sign a franchise QB to a long term contract?

 

[Diehardblues]

Our brilliant Idiot in Chief presents another analogy into his negotiating tactics.

This is what I love about Jethro is he always reveals why this franchise has struggled under his watch.

And why it’s difficult to have much hope things will get better.

 

[Diehardblues]

Basically Jethro is saying Dak isn’t elite enough to carry this team without an elite supporting cast.

 

[Diehardblues]

This is why we signed Cooper and Elliott because during the 2017 and 2018 seasons Dak struggled without those elites pieces.

So, our Idiot owners who can only follow public opinion with no football sense of their own have bought into this notion whether it’s true or not.

But since we don’t have real football people running the Cowboys we can’t be sure.

It’s all about playing to public perception.

It worked last year as many fans felt the Cowboys offer was fair and Dak should have signed.

 

[phildadon86]

Go back to being the Demarcus aware & Demarco Murray negotiator and stop being the Zeke Elliot & Jaylon Smith negotiator.

In all honesty what I got from that entire thing is letting Zeke go and Paying Dak. To be honest. Ankle injury Dak. Depreciation in Talent. Zeke.

Also. I wish he just wouldnt talk at all. lol

 

[NeathBlue]

Genuine question for the board...
Is there anyone left here that has any confidence with Jerry as the GM, and looking to the future, with Stephen has the future GM?
I’m trying to think of another so called elite sports franchise anywhere in the world, that’s in a constant maelstrom like the Cowboys seem to be stuck in.

 

[nyc-cowboy]

I think somewhere in there, is a lesson to be learned about using energy efficient bulbs. ; )

I guess he should have thought about that before signing Zeke.

The future is bright people. Just hang in there our luck is gonna turn.

Detroit much?

How many sports franchises are run by the family, with the only experience they have is reporting to Daddy? Is the son any better at cap management after all these years?

Mark Davis learned from watching his father but at one time Crazy Al was as good as anyone in building a team and could build whatever was needed, power or pizazz.

The answer is no but I accepted that a long time ago because a great myth is that people get better at doing by doing it for a longer time. When Booger goes toes up, the team will not be any better off and could be worse with the heir out to prove he is not the father.
