not gonna happen cause SJ is not a fan and honestly at this point all i think JJ is at this point is the voice that talks for the cowboys
Jerrys Comments today prove one thing
Jerry just imagines all the ticket sales from all the Aggies. All the press coverage from all the antics of Johnny football. He'll have a new circus to lead and JG his steadfast puppet and clown for all the fans to kick around.
JJ thinks he's the reincarnation of P. T. Barnum.
Jerry's comment that Romo has 4-5 years told me everything i needed to know.
I don't think he brought up Manziel. I think the radio hosts did.
It's still his way of saying 'see, I wasn't completely wrong because we could have used him!'
I am on the fence with Manziel. I certainly think he has talent and he seems to pick things up well. I think many people underestimate how incredible some of the plays he made in college and he has that Russell Wilson type of quality where he can throw it very well rolling out to the right or left.
The thing is that he would seriously need at least a year, if not 3 years before he was ready. Mainly his body size concerned me. He's short and thin which isn't a good combination in this league and he was learning a completely different way to do things (under center, huddle, etc). I also think that this is still primarily a larger QB's league. The Wilson's and Brees' of the world are extremely rare.
And then you would have to deal with the Dallas media and the team had bigger fish to fry at that point.
What bothered me was Jerry's claim that the team would be relevant for the next 10 years with Manziel. That tells me he's more worried about business than winning. And it's incredibly short sighted because we can look at RG3 and see a guy that was one of the most hyped up players in the entire league who is now basically extinct in just 3 years.
Thankfully, he didn't draft Manziel. And I say this because I don't want to draft a player based on the team 'staying relevant.' If you want to be relevant, win games....seems to do the trick.

What do relevant mean?
I can only assume it means popular or 'trending' on the internet.
I don't care about being relevant just by being relevant. If that is more important than winning to Jerry, I will have no reason to support him and his team.

The good thing about this offseason is that losing will create some necessary changes.
I will not be surprised, at all, if he signs Manziel. It won't shock me in the least.
