Listening to NFL radio this morning, Ross Tucker ranks Dallas #3 behind Miami and Cleveland as most dysfunctional organization in the NFL. Agree or disagree?
 
I don't agree. Folks pile on Dallas because they have a history of winning Championships or competing for Championships. That hasn't occurred in the last 17 years, but we are far from the Raiders, Commanders, Jags, Lions or the world. We don't have a constant barage of players getting in trouble with the law or being suspended for PED's. We are a .500 team on the field. If the sole requirement is not winning a championship, then after this year, there are 15 teams ahead of us that finished worse than we did last year.

Dallas draws ratings so folks talk. It's the off-season, what else would they talk about.

I disagree. I think the Cowboys are the #1 dysfunctional NFL team.
 
Taking Jerry out of the equation, I'd be curious to know what makes them dysfunctional. That can't be the only reason. 90s Cowboys off-field stuff would warrant that ranking.

The current incarnation of the Cowboys are actually quite boring.
 
I would put Dallas @ #1.


Nobody with the resources that the Cowboys have should suck for this long.

What resources?? We have the same draft privileges as everyone else? We might not be able to go after as many FAs as some but FA hasn't proven to be fertile ground for acquiring talent speaking in general.

If you want to say we should have made it to a CC game or SB over that span then I'd agree. But we fight the same odds as the rest of the NFL. If you say we haven't acquired talent thru the draft as well as some then I'd agree.

I was listening to this as well. He had Cleveland and the Dolphins, then said there was dropoff and then Dallas at #3. If I remember correctly Ross was calling them dysfuntional for all the coaching changes the last couple years, not really about Jones. Also, the cohost seemed to disagree with his assessment.

Aaaahhhh! Context! Amazin' how that works. :)

We have the ability to have the best everything and we don't take advantage of it.

Our facilities are great.. Our scouting and coaching is bottom of the barrel.

With the money that Jerry Jones makes we should have the best everything.


Plus... A lot of these teams still don't spend as much as we do because they can't afford to pay their roster what we can.

Ok, gotcha. That's not dysfunctional. Unusual, but also likely to happen when you have a coach trying to save his job.

And he also must've forgotten about Tampa Bay w/Greg Schiano. Or even the Skins. I'd even throw the Jets in the ring, as well.

But hey, it's not my list.

I agree.

The Cowboys have no identity nor do they have a identifiable organizational philosophy. Jerry changes his vision of the Cowboys more often (I hope) than he changes his underwear. He seems to latch on to the latest fads or ideas each season and makes it difficult for his scouts to produce the ideal candidate/personnel to succeed in the Cowboys system. The only thing that can help the Cowboys now is continuity as bad as that may sound.
 
I have no way of knowing. What parameters is he using to measure this dysfunctionality or is he just putting his nose up in the air and sniffing?

Sorry, I meant to include those. It was how they are handling the recent coaching staff hires (offense and defensive coordinators) and salary cap management.
 
wow, another cowboys hater on the radio.
How about the Bucs and how they handled the Josh Freeman situation, the Commanders and the RGIII shanahan Feud.

Tampa was number 4 and Skins 5.
 
Looking at Dallas' history after the last Super Bowl justifies the statement. Parcells was the only bright spot. Just think of Dallas win/loss stats if he didn't coach the team.

So our facilities give us a big advantage.
No. That's not correct.
