I'm really talking about Cowboys fans that I meet in person but my resolution has to do with the fact that I'm no longer going to talk people that get their information from the Stephen A's, Skip, Shannon and any other debate show. I can control if I'm going to have a conversation with someone in person or if on a message board. In short, I'm not talking to idiots about the Cowboys issues.
I agree that every conversation SHOULD start with this front office, however ..........I guess there is no however.

He controls the culture, attitudes, players, coaches and last quarter century of ineptitude.

Maybe it's just me, but shouldn't 'resolutions' be about personal goals and ambitions and not about things you can't influence or control? You can't control what people want to talk about on an internet message board.
In the first two sentences, he said, " If someone talks to me about the Cowboys issues and doesn't start with Jerry and Stephen Jones, I won't even engage in the conversation. This is my New Year's resolution." He didn't say anything about controlling what people want to talk about. He made a resolution not to engage in certain conversations. IE, that is a personal goal or ambition he set for himself.

I live in the Dallas Fort Worth area and get my information from 105.3 or from the local news stations. I have never listened to either of those talking heads, and wouldn't know where to find their shows if I wanted to.

But I get what you are saying.

They have "good" QBs making the NFC/AFC Championship games all the time. Dak was 2nd in MVP voting last year.....my bad ignore this post because you didn't mention the Joneses first so act like I didn't respond.
Here we go with that worthless accomplishment........ again. Dak fans are the only ones who care about that. Do you wonder why no one ever remembers the runner-up MVP's? Because 2nd place is still losing.

Oh I see you haven't said anything negative about the Joneses in this thread yet so you are one of them. Leader of the Idiocracy. Sucker you can respond but remember I'm not listening to any excuses that don't begin and end with the 30 year Joneses.

I agree with you. I'd rather see stats about him tops in the league in game winning , 2 minute drives, in the playoffs. But I'm not getting my hopes up.

Don't you wish the Cowboys front office would do some math so they know what is going to happen 3 or 4 years down the road?
That would go along with common sense and Ol Jerry don't seem to have any. But one would think that if Ol Jerry had any common football sense at all .He would hire some one to manage the salary cap for the Dallas Cowboys.Ol Jerry should be the poster boy for unsolved mysteries, Goodness Gracious .

The problem is simple we need smart people in the front office and we don't have them .Common sense is low with the Jones crew.

Trust me - I can't stand Jerry. I'm not saying I wish death on him, but I won't miss him when he's gone.

I don't watch any of those guys and I still think Dak and his contract are both major issues.

Where does thar put me in this puzzle?

you are no good young man. You failed to say Jones first and you havent factored in that Dak was # 2 in MVP voting. Shame on you, son.
Lol. I actually got a kick out of the OP

"I'm not talking to anyone who doesn't see things the exact sake way I do!"

Kind of defeats the purpose of the open forum doesn't it?:laugh:

We’ve had 30 years of no NFCCG appearance we currently have no player or coach that has been here that long but they do have a couple people that have been here. If you give any player the same smoke as the front office then yes I’m talking to you. I’m not saying that I don’t think any player doesn’t deserve criticism but our problems are much bigger than Daks contract.

I’m not interested in going through the same arguments that this board has had over the last 15 years or so. It gets old, it’s time to go at the root of the problem. Its like a couple that can’t afford to pay their mortgage but argue over what color to paint the walls.

If someone talks to me about the Cowboys issues and don't start with Jerry and Stephen Jones I won't even engage in the conversation. This is my new years resolution. People on this board talking about Dak and Parsons and their contracts, before that it was Romo and Dez before that it was someone else but through it all it's been the Joneses.This franchise has been blessed with pro bowl level QBing for 15 years and only gave up a 4th round pick to get it but still can't manage to even get to an NFCCG.

The Joneses have been blessed because we're actually living in an idocracy, no one wants to look deeper, no context, just "this player sucks" or "this player makes too much money" and while y'all doing that the Joneses continue to have circles ran around the by Howie Roseman. Roseman has signed Hurts 50 mil apy, Brown 32 mil apy and Smith 25mil apy and they only count as a total 33 mil against the cap but Cowboys fans want talk about Dak's contract. Roseman's motivation is different than the Joneses, see he HAS to win or eventually he'll be fired so his player acquisition looks different than the Joneses who, whether 17-0 or 0-17 are guaranteed to keep their jobs.

I need the Cowboy community to stop picking the low hanging fruit and start pointing out the real issue, if not they'll be another good to great qb that comes in here and the same thing will happen. How do I know... because history has already repeated itself.
Jerry isn't going anywhere. The only chance this team has is finding an elite QB that doesn't play like a 3rd stringer when he gets into the playoffs.

Haven't drafted a 1st round QB since Aikman. Pedigree makes a difference.
