Looks like another year of cheap/injured/washed up Free Agents for us

Should have??

The teams they played in the playoffs SHOULD HAVE laid down for them?

They choked BOTH times as a one seed.

Those years were worse than the losing ones.

And yet again you want to credit this buffoon with what Landry accomplished.

Ridiculous
Thank you for explaining the world you live in. When losings years are better than those we get the 1 seed in the playoffs and don't go all the way. I don't debate idiots so thank you for declaring you're an idiot.

Spending like a drunken fool in FA doesn't work.

Guess what else doesn't work? Hunting for scraps on the cheap two weeks after the start of FA.

If only there was another way to use FA, where maybe you target one guy early that you know can play, sign him and then look for solid roster filler as the market settles more? I wonder if the league rules allow that kind of judicious approach to free agency?

This! It’s crazy how I have moments where I miss free wheeling Jerry throwing away picks and bringing in TO because I know he’s trying. Now he and his sons sit on their hands. There is an in between...as you stated targeted FAs. Not a lot but even one guy that fills a massive need

Lmao. Romo would have gotten broke in half the second any defender got near him. He was washed up damaged goods by then. Only Dallas fans have some romanticized memory of what he really was. A injury prone regular season QB who choked in the playoffs.
Romo never got broken half but thanks for showing a glimpse of your exaggerated perspective. ;)

Ummmm those years were 100% failures. How were they not? #1 seed both times and both times, lost at home to opponents they dominated in the regular season. Oh but hey, just because you say we should have won, well then, that makes it a success! Riiiiiight.

How can a team who didn't even win a playoff game in those years should have won it all? You act like we had a fluke heartbreaking Super Bowl loss. Both of those years were disasters when it mattered most. Typical Jerry teams as the GM. In the 25 years he has been GM, this team has never been past the divisional round. In a league that begs for parity. Dallas under his GM duties, is nothing more than a junk .500 team.
We have had good years in the past quarter-century. It's not like it's been all bad. But you are probably one of those that count all seasons a failure unless your team wins the Super Bowl. :rolleyes:

26 years of failure yet still the owner and GM of the most winningest team in NFL history. 2007 & 2016 we should have won it all but if you want to dismiss those years as a failure, sure, I see what you mean. :rolleyes:

So now who's skewing the stats?

First of all, the Green Bay Packers are the most winningest team in NFL history.

Winning percentage-wise they are tied, but Green Bay has far more wins.

Second, since Dallas is the second most winningest team in NFL history, but GM Jerry has failed to build a roster capable of making it to a conference championship game for 26 years, it not only speaks volumes to how awful he is, but how truly great the previous architects (Jimmy Johnson and Tex Schramm) were.

Third, NFL and all of football is about winning championships. No one cares about regular season wins. 2007 and 2016? Did we make the NFCCG? No, okay then, I'll dismiss them as not achieving the goal every Cowboy fan who isn't an apologist should aspire to accomplish. You know? The standard that Jimmy Johnson and Tex Schramm established for this once great football organization. I'm not rooting for business and financial success on Sundays.

When Romo retired, he had the highest 4th quarter QBR in league history.

https://www.ticketcity.com/news-articles/the-best-4th-quarter-quarterbacks-in-the-nfl.html

From 2006-2016, Romo's 4th quarter QBR was 102.7, second only to Aaron Rodgers at 103.2 and ahead of Tom Brady's 98.3.

Romo had no defense. Just like Dak doesn't now.

Your article is from April 2020. It does not include the 2020 season.
List of all-time NFL win–loss records - Wikipedia

So now the Packer's edge over the Cowboys is minuscule. It took a 13-3 season to do it. The packers should be so proud to have that slight edge over a team that has done nothing in over a quarter-century.

The Packers have had so many more years in existence to accumulate wins. Of course, they have a ton more wins. Bragging about that is just dumb. We are talking about the all-time winning percentage. Congrats, the GB 13-3 season in 2020 gives them the slightest of an edge over the Cowboys.

Look who they are interested in...


The player is either cheap, old, injured or str8 up washed up, nothing has changed...
This organization will never learn.....

Too bad cause there is/was some good players out there who will help some teams win

I totally agree just because you said it...

It's still based on winning percentage so the fact that the Packers have been doing it longer is a good thing, not some sort of negative. The Packers going 13-3 is the sign of a winning team; typically means home field advantaged in the playoffs. The Cowboys going 6-10 and not being able to win what may be the worst division in football history? pretty clear sign that yet again, Jerry hasn't been able to put together a roster capable of competing for Lombardy trophies.

Okay, now let's compare playoff success? Super Bowl appearances?

The whole argument is how the team has performed since Jerry Jones was the clear-cut head decision maker on personnel.

The answer is NOT GOOD.

It's almost comical that he's trying to argue that Jerry Jones has done a really good job as GM.

25 straight years and they have 4 playoff wins. I mean holy crap, that's a sign of great GMing?

it is the way of the jones family. they already have three superbowl trophies so the only thing that they are worried about is how much money they are going to make or lose every year.

No, that's not it, obviously they would make more money the more successful the team is, just merchandise sales alone from a SB victory would be huge, we all know there are always bandwagon fans that love for people to think they're fans of a "winner" and would buy "2021 Super Bowl Champs" shirts, hats, etc. if they've never bought Cowboys gear before.
Jerry wants to win another SB, desperately, but he has to do it his way or in his mind he won't get enough credit.

But I don't expect anybody to change their minds about Jerry's aims, ain't happening....

Bingo. It's not just enough to win. They have to win one on his terms.

Pipe the hell down! The Packers had one good season that made the difference. I remember for many years the Packers sucked. It happens to all teams for a period of time. At the moment, it's the Cowboys that are experiencing that downtime. But times do change and Aaron Rodgers won't be around much longer. The Packer's time to suck will be back soon enough.

Expect Kazee and/or Ricardo Allen to be signed at S. Kazee coming off an injury and Allen is a declining player. Typical Jones FA signings...

At the moment? Like we are in the midst of a 3 year drought?

We have been in a drought for 25 years. Over the last quarter century the Cowboys have had 12 winning seasons, 10 playoff appearances and 4 playoff wins. Over the same stretch, the Packers have 19 winning seasons, 18 playoff appearances and 19 playoff wins.

Trying to write this off as some random down period for Dallas and Jerry is downright comical. We are talking 25 straight years here.

First, do you understand the GB Pack only edged the Cowboys out of the all-time winningest team by, .003 percentage points?

Second, it took the Packers having a 13-3 record just last year to overtake the Cowboys with that distinction.

Third, It's not been a straight quarter-century of bad seasons by the Cowboys. Jerry Jones won 3 world titles in the first 8 years he owned the team and has had a few really good seasons since then. Your spin on the Jerry Jones era is definitely more negative than it deserves. 3 Super Bowl wins in 4 seasons in a very big deal.
