Message to Jerry

[Clove]

Dear Jerry, go **** yourself. Sincerely, 100% of fandom.

I have no issue with knocking Jerry but one thing I can’t do is bring up death when talking about him. That’s when things go too far.

many NFL owners fall into this category btw. Its just the way the league has been. They all wanna win but they all have huge ego's in business and this is no different. The owners that run the team like a real football team/business with accountability/consequences etc...are ALWAYS the teams that are in the thick of things at the end of the year. Dallas just teases us and tinkers on the outer fringes. Never really a serious threat. The other teams like GB and SF understand this fact. We are a marketing business that plays a little ball on the side. For those of you who follow Nascar and remember Richard Petty, Thats what this team is now...a once elite franchise or "driver" that was a threat every time, that evolved into a caricature of themselves. Richard Petty during the last like 10 years of his racing career was experimenting with his car...never really a serious threat to win or even finish top 10. Can you guys see my analogy? You just had to be ok with it.... Because it was the King, Richard Petty. Well, thats now Dallas. We are Richard Petty towards his twilight years on the track. We are fading. The question is, Jerry willing to have the balls 1 last time to break the trend and reboot this thing? I think by Friday we shall know. APB is out for Wildcat Jerry.

There is not one NFL team that is even remotely like the Cowboys.

we still play football right? Just asking. All that other crap doesn't matter unless that becomes your objective. If Jerry wants that kind of attention and hoopla, then he must figure this out. the other 31 teams have no pity on us. NONE.

Giants, Jets, Philly may not be like Dallas but those are very hard towns to win in. The fans and media are brutal. I get it, Dallas is Hollywood east basically, but whose fault is that? Jerry is the number narcissist. Make no mistake, many NFL owners are as well. But some treat the team they own as a hobby, others treat it serious as it ought to be. Jerry is a misnomer of sorts in his own category. Time he picks a lane.

Back in the late Eighties you managed to raise the $150M necessary to allow your purchase of the once-proud Dallas Cowboys franchise. It was shrewdest business move you’ve ever made, your business is now valued at over $9B.

You came into this opportunity with a vision of turning the franchise BACK into a winner. And in a relatively short time the Cowboys were back on top of the NFL world.

But you decided, at the height of your team’s success that YOU required more recognition as a ‘football man.’ It wasn’t enough for you to be socking away mountains of cash.

Cut to almost thirty years later and your team, despite it’s ridiculously huge cash valuation, hasn’t won SQUAT in the interim.

So, my question to you Mr. Jones is… do you REALLY want to win another championship before you pass into the great beyond?

If so, then try THIS for a change:

1) Turn over the GM duties to somebody who has a proven record of success in the last decade or two. Not some sycophant - and fight that nepotistic penchant! Allow that person to make the necessary decisions regarding peronnel and trades.

2) Hire a headcoach with a vision, somebody younger than sixty with a shelf-life, and a strong personality. And let that hire bring in HIS people. Allow the new coach the player’s locker room and sideline as HIS domain. Meanwhile, your throne is in the owner’s box - and ONLY in the owner’s box.

3) Avoid speculation to the press regarding the team’s season prospects and player evaluations.

4) Be prepared to shut up and write checks. Send your kids to Europe for the late-Summer and Fall months, extending their stays through early Winter if need be (depending on team success).

Jerry Jones, you’ve tried it your way for going on three decades. It hasn’t gotten you that championship you claim you desire. So, show us how sincere you are in THAT pursuit. Show is that you REALLY MEAN IT. That it’s not just PT Barnum hot air. Do it for the Dallas Cowboys, your team. Do it for Cowboys Nation - the loyal fans of your team. Do it for history.

NO. FOR YHE LIVE IF GOD NO!!!

Jerry has paid more to Dak Prescott than he paid for the team.

 

[kskboys]

To understand JJ, simply know this: His hobby is playing amateur GM. He enjoys it. He can afford it.
It's that simple.

He's trying to win. He wants to win. He is not settling for mediocrity to keep selling T-shirts and filling seats. He has plenty of money.

No, he's not trying to win. Trying to win would mean he's doing everything he can. He is by far not. Winning is way down the list of his priorities.

 

[john van brocklin]

The best and only way to affect change is to stop watching Cowboys games, stop spending money on merch and stop attending functions at the stadium.

Bingo!!!!!
Money will get Jerry's attention.

 

[MojaveJT]

Agree with you 100% OP but unfortunately Jerry wants to win on his own terms. He’ll most likely take it to his grave without another SB win.

 

[Clove]

Jerry has paid more to Dak Prescott than he paid for the team.

And in 10 years, Jerry will pay more for the starting QB in a YEAR, than he paid for the team.

 

[kskboys]

Simple message to Jerry: Status quo not working. If no changes, will be the same mess next season. Get someone in charge who understands what this team needs. Hint: It is not another TE.

 

[VaqueroTD]

I don’t remember, did Al Davis ever step down? Or did he go all the way to death?

just wondering if there’s any optimistic precedent to look forward to. LOL

 

[MetalMike]

Yup. So he can once again take all the credit.

 

[gtdRR]

We go through this crap every single off season. It's usually after a first-round playoff exit. Nothing's going to change. We have no hope.

This guy gets it.

Not here there isn’t. Al’s dimwitted progeny now runs the Raiders. Same thing will happen in Dallas. AT&T Stadium is the new Factory of Sadness.

 

[Zordon]

6 months from now, Jerry will step foot on the Oxnard fields in his oversized Cowboys gear. The jorts and Novachek jersey crowd will serenade him with "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" chants. Optimism that THIS time will be different will fill the air. The spineless DFW media will subserviently chuckle at one of his stale colloquialisms. And all will be forgotten about the humiliation 6 months earlier.

My point is that there is no owner/"gm" in the NFL other than Jerry that insists on making all football decisions, constantly meddles with the team and coaches, hires some the head coach's staff, often before the next hc is even named. There is also the constant interviews and radio shows that he does undermining his hc, who has very little power. That makes Dallas completely unique and unlike any of the other 31 teams.

Jerry: TL;DR

 

[Quickdraw]

Yea Jerry, and while you're at it, take back the stadium and rename it Cowboys stadium. This AT&T stadium reference doesn't speak loudly that THIS IS THE HOME OF THE COWBOYS! /end rant
