Lost Organization

[Sully]

For the better part of 30 years, Jerry Jones has been a disgrace to his "toy" on the field football field.
He is a excellent marketing guy and has made the NFL billions. But as a owner/GM knowing how to build a
football team, ON THE FIELD, his is a bust. And the facts back that up. The Dallas Cowboys are the longest NFC
franchise not playing in a NFC Conference game.

Why? Answer: One Word >>>>> PRIDE

The bible clearly states in Proverbs 16:18 ~ Pride goes before destruction

Jerry will fire players and coaches but never ever look in the mirror. He will throw out his cute, carefully worded
cliches after each game, with the media drooling over his every word, to get access, but it is always the same
poison. He knows football ad he will get it fixed. 30 years later, the same poison still is being spit out like a cobra
and the fans, especially Dallas fans, continue to buy the hope (aka; FOOLS GOLD) Jerry continue to offer the
thirst starved Cowboys followers. After each wasted draft pick, Dallas fans renews that hope, only to rediscover,
yet again, the Cowboys are again a joke.

The Dallas draft is a huge issue. Jerry, with the media, sells how good the Cowboys have been drafting the past years,
only to be sold more pyrite. Look at the past several years how poor the 1st/2nd round picks have been.
Parson was easy the best selection but was traded away for $$$ issues PLUS was sold ( by Jerry) that in order to make a playoff run, Dallas has to stop the run. So off goes Parsons (which I agree with and will explain more soon) and bring in Clark to stop the run. Well, the run D is still horrible and has been bad for decades.
Jerry wants to sell jerseys ( Marketing) and DT/MLB/Centers/Guards and safeties are not big jerseys sellers. WRs/QB and RBs are.

Diggs/Bland have been a shell of themselves once they got their huge contracts. Bland had (6) pick 6 TDs, with Dan Quinn and I don't think Bland has 6 INTs total since then. Diggs is already washed up. And Parsons is not worth $40/million a season, let alone $46M. Parsons has 4 tackles and 2.5 sacks with the Packers. That is worth $46M?
But would Parson made Dallas D better? Maybe a tad but this team can't stop the run. Been a problem for so so long

So here we are yet again. Dallas wins against teams like the NY Jets and Dallas fans are once again, gas tank is full of optimism to only run out fuel the following week by another weak team like Carolina. Seen this scenario played over for decades and Jerry continues to be the #1 Forbes Sports Franchise, which validates the true Superbowl Jerry craves:
The Franchise SuperBowl because winning is not important, Business is.
Fans care about winning. Players, media and Jerry Jones #1 care is the business. Squeeze as much profit out of the
sheep (aka: fans) as possible. Play games over seas, have double header Monday Nights, pay-per view Thursday Nights,
Red Zones, shove Bad Bunny down your throats, messages in the endzones, move the NFL draft all around, etc....
All this is for more profits. It is a business, winning following and why Jerry will never replace himself as GM. Why should he? He is #1 with Forbes.

So until this organization can prove they can get to a NFC Conference game and now spit out endless cliches,
just watch this once dominant franchise, as entertainment. Like watching a TV series or movie.
Stop buying "Hope and Change" because it is only FOOLS Gold/pyrite. But if you continue to soak your emotions
into this, your return will be zero as what the worth of pyrite is. In 2035 and beyond, Dallas will still be where they are
right now because Jerry is grooming his son Stephen as Al Davis has done with his son with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Raiders can move but they are still the also once dominate franchise, as Dallas, and is also a disgrace.

Great summary on the history of the downfall of the Cowboys organization when it comes to football. The usual suspects will stick their head in the sand and just call you a hater. When they should stop lying to themselves and accept the truth. At the moment, Jerry is holding this organization hostage with his limited knowledge and inflated ego.

Can't disagree.
Still I feel Eberflus and his stubbornness to change is the biggest issue right now.
And BS standing behind him is making not like him so much.

It may take a players meeting to revolt to get change.

Well, I am thankful for your response. I have be mocked and had several of these posts removed from
online Staff Members of this very board. I have been stating for the better part of 15 years( yes, I know this board was not in existence for all this but there was another Dallas Cowboy board prior) that Jerry is the problem

I wish I could find the video where someone asked Jerry Jones if he was the GM of the New York Yankees
and he produced the same output as he was with the Cowboys. Jerry's reply was he should be fired as the Yankees GM but the great things is he is the owner and will not fire himself. From that point further, I knew
this organization was in trouble. This interview was about 15 -20 years ago and here we sit today. Still swimming in this swamp and 10 years from now, will be swimming in it some more. Pride goes before destruction because as Mark David was taught by his father Al, the Raiders are still a disgrace. Jerry Jones
mentor was Al Davis. Jerry is teaching his son Stephen and the results will be the same.
Dallas will keep rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic because business is far more important than winning. Fans care about winning. Players/Owners care about the money. Micah Parson proved that.

I want to travel to an alternate universe where Jimmy Johnson never left. Dallas probably wins the Super Bowl five years in a row from 1992 thru 1996.

And in this universe, Jerry does not have ego issues and understands where there is success, there is enough credit to go along for everyone. He hires a real GM, doesn't waste a decade on Jason Garrett, etc..

Because as far as regular season records are concerned, Dallas has had some VERY good teams from 2006-23. At least a few of those could have won a title had this been a normal organization.

[Ironicalicon]

It really goes against my philosophy on life to be a fan of a team run by someone like Jerry and I'm forced to ask myself why I still care. I guess it's obsession... and I don't feel too good about that so the best thing I can do is just laugh at the absurdity.

We have decades of investment in the Cowboys at this point. It is hard to give that up, even for Jerry.

Blah. Blah. Blah.

Just fix the darn Defense and get a much better D-Coordinator. This team has the Offense that can compete. Fix the Defense and pair it up with this Offense. This team could then beat any other team.

Very simple. Why isn't Jerry firing Eberflunk and bringing in some other D-Coordinator who can immediately take over and improve this Defense?

That's what everyone should be screaming for right now. This season can still be saved, but Jerry needs to make such hard decisions immediately.

 

[Johannes44]

Still I feel Eberflus and his stubbornness to change is the biggest issue right now.

I keep seeing this. What exactly would you want him to change to?

 

[Johannes44]

.... and get a much better D-Coordinator

Because it's a buyers market on D-Coordinators isn't it? I bet Jerry can't even exit his home to get the newspaper without being inundated with Defensive Coordinator resumes.

This is 100% my feelings. I have followed Dallas since 1962, enjoyed every win and endured a painful few days after each loss…but I told my son this morning that Dallas would never win a championship with Jones. Good oil man doesn’t make an NFL GM capable of building a team. I really don’t care these days whether Dallas wins or loses, as I watch more out of habit now. Strongly considering watching and supporting the Texans as they and any of the other 30 teams have at least a chance to be champions. Jones has ruined a historic and once great franchise!!

More man coverage. That is the DB’s strengths. Design a defensive scheme against each opponent to take away their strength.
Not throw out the same old scheme every game regardless of the opponent.

 

[morat1959]

You left out the biggest elephant in the room. This organization has put zero stock in the most important position on the field since Jimmy left.

 

[doomsday808]

Fans need to organize a sell the team sign protest at the next home football game!

Jerry's biggest problem and the reason he is such a terrible GM is his optimism. That one quality that has made him such a huge success in every other aspect of life is not what you want in a GM. The GM has to take a sober, realistic look at his personnel and make decisions based on that. Jerry sees 53 potential pro bowlers every off season. He trusts and hopes to a fault.

Do they have the required pass rush to pressure the QB to make man coverage effective? I recall a time when we stuck with man coverage and consistently got burned as the coverage could not hold up because the rush never got there.
