Just about done with this organization

How much beer did you have while typing that?

Huge cowboy fan since early mid 70s. Staubach was my hero. Dallas was a quality organization until mid 90s when jerruh took complete control.

Reasons for considering leaving:

Jerruh has no idea what he is doing. Latest examples. Trading up for Claiborne, a press corner, then switching to more zone. Strength of the team was lbs and they switch to 4-3. Giving romo a huge contract instead of rebuilding. Giving Injury prone Lee a big contract. Giving injury prone spencer a big contract. Salary cap penalties. Watch ware explode in Denver.

Poor drafting and poor free agency

Poor cap management

Puppets as coaches. Garrett had zero head coaching experience prior to this.

Jerruhs kid shows no signs of being any better than his dad

One that should deeply concern jerruh is the fact Dallas is slipping in television ratings and merchandizing
I don't live in Texas and I don't get near the number of games on television I used too.

Current generations of fans cannot even remember when Dallas was anything above mediocre

Jerruhs fleecing of fans and taxpayers for his stadium

Jerruh handling of the Super Bowl

Jerruh is just plain arrogant and obnoxious

Look I complain and don't like a lot of what Jerry is doing or has done. Hate a lot of it, feel he hurts us.
Doesn't give us the best chance to be in position to win.


But.... YOU DONT LEAVE YOUR TEAM.

You just don't.

I get losing interest with the losing product being put on the field. I get that, .. but I could never agree with cheering for a different team.

Really the only chance we have of coming back is if Jerry hires someone who is a real coach, gives him time, and steps back. OR the Team loses its appeal and the ratings start dropping dramatically. We need another Bill Parcells who is smart enough to get along with Jerry and is also a great coach. That would be the fastest approach.

We're not here to talk a jumper off the ledge. If he wants to jump, do a flip on the way down. It was nice sharing a fandom with you for a while.

That is classic bro, just classic. Thanks for the laugh.

Lol another person that attaches his emotional livelihood to a game.

Peace!

I found a postable one at last!

Would not be suprized if someone here did this one.

You are a complainer. You are not a problem-solver. You could employ real tangible efforts to affect change. You could picket the stadium. You could engage in letter/fax/email writing campaigns to television stations, newspapers, etc. You could spearhead a bona fide grassroots crusade aimed at marshaling the mutual will of determined fans. You could perform a sit-in or walk across your county, state or county as a beacon of direction, purpose, and change. You could even seek out Jerry Jones and confront him face-to-face to voice your dissatisfaction.

No. You see issues outside your immediate influence and lazily place blame upon others. You are the transparent radical, hiding behind a façade of ineffective or make-believe billboard ideas. Or boast how you combat Jones's tyrannical hold on this franchise with non-confirmable claims of personal spending habits and non-supporting actions, while continually connecting yourself through television, internet, etc., with the very object of your dissatisfaction.

You are far from being the first individual to whine from a position of self-superiority. It is highly unlikely you will be the last. Time for the next complainer to step up to the mike, voice their complaint, point their finger at everyone other than themselves, then retreat to the comforts of home--and resume sitting comfortably atop their own solitary gluteus maximus. As always.

I have done much of what you suggest have you. My point, which you seem to ignore completely, instead going for some kind of personal attack is to hit Jerruh and his massive ego in the pocket book. I don't know about you but if I keep getting a poor meal or poor service from a business I don't go until it is changed. Apparently you get E Coli but keep eating the food

 

[mmillman]

Today's product illustrates my point. That was a pathetic showing. Unfortunately half the stadium was filled with red jerseys supporting jerry world

I would thin yesterday's gam illustrated my points better than I can. You are either blind or football ignorant to not see what a pathetic product jerruh puts out. It was really sad to see all the red jerseys in the stands.

I have never read that opinion on this site. Very original. You're a savant.

Really? I wouldn't know.

If people are submitting 'look at me i'm quitting talk me out of it,' or just simply 'look at me' type posts, than i can agree with the whole just let it hit you on the rear type responses (although it is just strangers on the internet i wonder at the vitriol on here sometimes, it's somewhat disconcerting to me that people feel the need to make these types of comments versus simply ignoring the post).

However, there is another side.

Personally i can identify with fans that appear to be questioning their loyalty to the franchise, i use the term loyalty somewhat loosely, this is sports were talking about.

In my opinion Jerry Jones has been an incredibly poor owner. There is no point in going into the details they are discussed here daily, with opinions on both sides.

It is becoming difficult for many fans, i believe, to separate their love of the franchise from their dislike of the current ownership. I greatly disapprove of almost every aspect of the Jones' family operation of the team, including how they appear to conduct themselves both professionally and personally. It's getting to the point that i hope they are never rewarded for their narcissistic behavior and callow disregard for the Cowboy brand.

Wherein lies the problem. I have been a fan for forty plus years, how does one just give up on something that has been such a large part of their lives for so long. It's not easy man.. it's not simply a 'Man up or Move on' scenario, it's a labor of love and something that's been entwined like a thread through our lives seemingly forever. There was a post a year or so ago about the crazy things people have done Cowboy related through the years, i submitted a long and perhaps seriously weird list, i love this franchise.

So while it's easy to write snippy remarks about hitting the road etc.. try to have some empathy for those struggling with the balance between team support and Jerry Jones.. dislike.. if you will. For some it a legitimate and passionate conundrum.

I'd just like everyone know that I am forever impressed with the intelligence level of so many Zoners that it's humbling. I love my Cowboys and I love the passion of its incredible fan base. I will never turn away from a team with a history is so epic in victory or defeat. It's the fabric of the Cowboys to be the phoenix of the NFL, and I do believe the stars will align in our favor. I understand the frustration level of the fanbase. It's humiliating in the social media age to endure the barrage of negativity towards our team, its players and coaches. It really is. But we are riders on the storm, and the Cowboys owe me nothing personally for the emotional rush they provide.

If only the Jones family could understand that under the glitz and glamour that they thinks best for the Cowboys and its fans, lies a desire of its most ardent supporters of legitimate organizational change so enjoy our Sundays again, and not hope that bringing in say a Jeremy Mincey will be a coup. In short- the Cowboys structure needs change, and its ego- and only ego- that prevents it, whether at the 2 yard line on 2nd and 1, or resigning a player that could use change himself to a huge, foolish contract.

I bet that if the Cowboys were 1-0 this thread would never have appeared.

And to the OP good luck in New England.

I'm lucky because my brother is a 30 year Raiders fan so I know it when a team's owner is just declining. I don't take Jerry's ineptitude and transgressions personally. I hate seeing anyone drive my team into the ground and yes it's almost unbearable to watch but right now, it's not really my Cowboys he is driving into the dirt, its his. Sooner or later he will be done with it and if lucky, his son will return them to me in the form of a competent football operation. Till then he has my interest and commitment but not my heart. If I should inherit a chip off the old block in Stephen, then maybe it's my son who will see a return of my Cowboys and not me. Unfortunately, he loves the Packers so there will be no visits to my grave updating me on my team. Come from the ledge, enjoy a brew and find the entertainment till the storm passes. This is a game bro... just a game.

 

[T-RO]

But.... YOU DONT LEAVE YOUR TEAM.

Do explain.

I say:
1. Morality and football fandom (who you root for) have absolutely NOTHING to do with each other.
2. It's about rooting for someone you enjoy, admire, respect.
3. Jerry has no loyalty to you...why contrive some false loyalty to him?

I'm so glad to be free. I invite any and all of you to find another team.

I believe we even have an OBLIGATION...to evaluate the religion, politics and sports loyalties we grew up with. And if anything we have a moral obligation to leave a team that repeatedly demonstrates it has no moral compass...and repeatedly does a lot of gross stuff.

We all have different views. I respect that. But I say, if anything...YOU MUST LEAVE THIS TEAM.

I am hanging on by a thread, .. but when I go I will give up the entire NFL. I will not switch teams

Drug arrests, rape, child abuse, abuse of women, DUI manslaughter, Jones sexual assault accusations, .. I'm sick of it.

Players moving from team to team, players making millions and millions of dollars when some go to bed hungry in this country. Coaches moving from team to team.

NFL changing the rules, consequently changing the game that I love.

Talking about, and remembering Tom Landry lately revealed to me just how much all of us have compromised, little by little, gradually.

With Rice and Peterson beating their loved ones, Incognito looks like a choir boy.

^ I'm thinking about sustainability.

Anyone familiar with how the Dust Bowl happened? Farming land without rest until it could not produce.

That's the picture WV Cowboy is painting it seems....milking profit this season without regard to fan burnout, image, growing a new generation of fans by weeding out cheap seats to the suites, games going to pay-per-view. Domestically they can't milk the cow much more so now they are hoping to breaking into London and the rest of Europe.

Fans may just get burned out.
