Jerry and Stephen think they are the smartest guys in the room and are constantly trying to prove that, often to their detriment; moreover, they are so arrogant that they think us fans buy into every word that comes out of their mouths…well…maybe some fans still do.
They have made a mess of the salary cap and consistently over-value the talent level; hold on to players too long and often get no meaningful return on their draft capital when players are released/traded.
Managing a team is a dynamic process; you look at Belichick constantly churning the roster, releasing players at the right times to get meaningful draft picks, rarely paying players huge second contracts and trading them while they still have value. This is something that the Jones’ boys cannot or will not do; they held on to Zeke way too long and are doing the same to Dak; who has had 9 years to show he is the franchise QB they paid him to be. Sure…he is better than average and generates lots of stats; but has consistently played poorly against the better competition in the league, as well as in the playoffs. Clearly he is not the QB to take the team to the next level…but he will be extended nonetheless due to lack of options as a result of poor strategic planning.
Nothing will ever change because they are not held accountable for their actions; clearly, Jerry was at his best when he had legitimate football guys like JJ and Parcells calling the shots; if Jerry wasn’t the owner of the Cowboys, both of these clowns would be out of the NFL.
