Jerry's having a good year

[Rockport]

I’ve been critical of Jerry the GM but you have to admit, he’s done a good job this year.

Draft pick hits: Tyler Booker, Donovan Ezeiruaku, Shavon Revel, Shemar James. (Not giving up on Jaydon Blue)

Free agents: Kenneth Murray(playing better than given credit for), Sanborn before he got injured, Javonte Williams, Osawaru Odighizuwa, Dante Fowler, James Houston, Perrion Winfrey, Hakeem Adeniji, Joe Milton

Trades: Quinnen Williams, George Pickens, Kenny Clark, Jadaveon Clowney, Logan Wilson

Jettisoned: Parsons for 2 1st round picks and Clark, sent Mazi packing.

Coaches: Brian Shottenheimer and his coaching staff. Jerry to the risk in giving Schotty the chance he deserved.

All these players are either starters or solid depth.

Much better than expected. He's not giving up.

Best move, getting rid of Mazi….lol

As funny as that sounds, its absolutely true. Mazi has NO DRIVE whatsoever. That kind of mental weakness and lack of motivation, I would imagine, spreads in the locker room and onto the field. It just bums everyone out. Since his departure: TOTAL OPPOSITE.

I'd hold off saying Jerrah is having a good year until after the season. Lets say the cowboys win some more games but not enough to reach the playoffs. The loss of the draft picks, the parsons trade fiasco, etc. Well I'm not sure it would be such a good job, especially if it is not guaranteed we will be success next year.

I kinda stopped after you suggesting Murray is playing well. Oof.

Wasn't Clowney a signing, not a trade?

 

[Wildcat711]

Clowney wasn't a trade.. but anyway..

Im not giving Jerry any kudos yet.. *** him and the horse he rode in on.

We win something and then I might think about it.

 

[HungryLion]

I would wait to see how the year ends before declaring it a good year.

Cowboys still have work to do if they want to make the playoffs.

He leads the team in tackles.

He leads the team in tackles.

How far off the line of scrimmage? 12 yards?

Be miserable. Could care less.

Fact remains he leads the team in tackles.

You would, I’m not.

This fanbase is behaving like the team is 10-2. Its sad to see how mediocre expectations have become for this franchise, they make them looks like its on pair with the Browns or Jaguars.

 

[Risen Star]

Fantastic job.

6-5-1. Need to run off 8 straight wins to get a wild card berth. Outstanding.

 

[Kwyn]

Fantastic job.

6-5-1. Need to run off 8 straight wins to get a wild card berth. Outstanding.

And don’t forget the masterwork job of sabotage six days before the opener.

 

[nyc-cowboy]

“sent Mazi packing” you giving him credit for getting rid of his first round bust?

 

[HungryLion]

You would, I’m not.

Since you like to argue that people shouldn’t “give up” too soon.

It’s reasonable to counter argue that people shouldn’t take victory laps too soon either.

I would be more than happy to give the FO credit if the cowboys make the playoffs and win some playoff games. I would love for it to happen. But it’s gotta happen first.

Yep.

If they don’t make the playoffs how do we say he did a good job?

 

[Sydla]

You would, I’m not.

That’s because you consistently set the bar low for this franchise.

In no world does a GM get great grades if the team doesn’t make the playoffs.
