What makes one a legit GM? Jerry stayed on a national championship team. He's as qualified as any gm in the league. Put mahomes on his rosters and he had 3 more titles. It's as simple as that.
Where do I start?
Being a college football player doesn't even begin to qualify as a credential to be an NFL GM.
The only difference between Jerry Jones and other GM's in the league is credentials, experience, commitment, and talent.
If you were to read any team profile of their GM you will get a story of 20 to 30 years experience starting as a junior scout and then regional scout all the way up to assistant and chief director of operations. At each level they were promoted through their achievements and the success of the teams thy helped to build.
These GM's treat their jobs as a 24/7 responsibility. The only thing they have on their minds are ways in which they can increase their team's success. Jerry Jones treats this job as a part time affair, just one of his many roles. he does the team, the fans, and other GM's a huge disservice by claiming to be a qualified GM.
Jerry Jones has cheated us. He has replaced winning as the prime goal of this team to marketing and financial success.
I don't want to hear how much money he has milked us all for. It is not an attribute that i admire when I watch my team on the field. Profit does not appear on the scoreboard. I am a fan of the team, the players and the game. I am not a fan of Jerry's deceptive, dishonest, and conceited agenda of self-promotion.
When you read Jerry's profile you won't see any list of credentials prior to naming himself as the GM and let me make this clear. There is not a single team in this league that would have ever considered hiring Jerry Jones for any football related executive position.
In addition, if Jerry wasn't the owner then there are at least three occasion in which he would have been fired. Jerry has propped himself up as a football expert by standing on the heads of those with the real talent.
Jerry was so committed in delivering the same success from past teams that he scoured the entire country looking for the most qualified candidates for the GM job. He searched high and low. imagine his surprise when he discovered the most qualified person for the job......was him.
The only great decision that Jerry has made as an owner was hiring Jimmy Johnson, something four other teams were attempting to do. Jerry sealed the deal by agreeing tro two principles that Jimmy insisted upon.
1. Jimmy was going to make every football related decision.
2. Jerry would provide the money to meet any and all of his needs.
Despite the historical revisions, Jimmy ran everything when it came to the team. In fact, jerry never even publicly announced the fact that he had given himself the GM title.
When this finally became known, he was pressed by the media who insisted on knowing who was really7 the GM. I will never forget Jerry's answer. he said the Cowboys had two GM's. It wasn't long after that when Jimmy got tired of Jerry's antics.
I have about another 25 pages of criticism on Jerry, but i will spare everyone's eyes as well as my typing fingers for now.
