NFL's Best GMs 2017

[phildadon86]

Jerry chased away Jimmy
Jerry chased away Parcells
The ONLY reason jerry hired jimmy is because he was his buddy
The ONLY reason Jerry hired Parcells is because he wanted a new stadium

Jerry is the worst GM in sports and one if the worst owners because his ownership is the ONLY reason delusional and incompetent GM Jerry cannot be fired and why this franchise has had a high school level HC the last 6 years

Before you come back with your usual pro Jerry homer stuff, name me an NFL franchise that would hire Jerry as GM, as GM, if we were to fire him today

If you can't, and I know you can't, then please at least accept to yourself what you can't bring yourself to acknowledge publicly, that Jerry is a horrible GM and us the main reason for our mediocrity the last 20 years

Jerry may go down as the best OWNER in history and is already in the HOF. So dont start with the bad owner stuff. Unless you are just saying hes a bad owner because he hasnt fired himself then I agree. lol.

I don't know why people keep giving credit to Jerry for Dak, he didn't even want him. To Jerry, picking Dak was more of a consolation prize than a well thought out choice, he just happened to get lucky, thankfully. Regardless, he shouldn't get credit for being lucky especially when he even said he wanted Paxton Lynch over Dak.

If you take Dak out of the equation he did nothing other than use a 4th round draft pick for the best running back available behind the best offensive line in football. Yeah, genius, who would have ever thought? This is the same guy that wanted Johnny Football.

If anyone should get credit it should be Stephen for not letting him draft Manziel and for having a large say in improving the o line with 1st round picks which we all know Jerry would have never done on his own.

Don't forget Jerry even said he would have fired HIMSELF as GM. He knows he sucks but he's too much of a control freak and ego maniac to give it up. He admits it himself yet homers here still argue in his defense. Talking about drinking the Jerry Kool Aid...

Alright at best. Don't forget, it's the owner who controls the GM. So if he's the GM and is horrible at it then it stands to reason he's not great at being an owner as well. If people want to talk about what abgreat owner he is because he made people pay for a new football stadium and has done a fantastic job at marketing a mediocre team over the past 20 years then I agree. I know he's also active in the NFL which is what helped him get into the HOF. If you base his ownership off of wins and ruining great teams and coaches due to his ego than he fails miserably. If it weren't for Jimmy Johnson the Cowboys last Super Bowl win would still be 1978.

You are barking up the wrong tree. I'm not pro-GM Jerry. I'd like to see him put a qualified decision-maker in place. I am glad at least that he seems to be better listening to those around him than he did in the 1990s.

You, though, obviously have an anti-Jerry agenda if you truly believe Jones chased away Parcells. It's fine to dislike his work as a GM, but it's still no reason to distort the truth.

“That Seattle game … that had a real mental affect on me,” Parcells says, referring to the Cowboys’ 21-20 loss to the Seahawks in the 2006 NFC Wild Card round. “I really thought we had a chance to do something. And not only with Seattle, but Chicago the next week. I just thought we had a chance. That one beat me up a little bit.”

Not long after that game, Parcells decided to hang it up, citing a lack of desire to continue, especially with the finish in Seattle still fresh on his mind.

“I was just really upset and saddened by that last game,” Parcells says. “I just didn’t want to try to do it again. I know from coaching all these years, if you’re not mentally geared up for it – it’s hard enough to do it anyway, but if you don’t get really into it, it’s impossible. I just thought enough was enough.”

And although Parcells later returned to the NFL in a front-office role with the Dolphins, he never coached another game from the sideline.

To this day, Parcells still admits he has a few “what-if” moments about leaving the Cowboys after the 2006 season, particularly since they went 13-3 the following year under Wade Phillips.

“I’d say there were some times where I thought to myself, ‘I should’ve tried one more time,’” Parcells remembers. “With that group we had, maybe we could’ve done something more. I don’t know. But I just thought at the time it was the right decision to walk away.”

Yup, Parcells realized his personnel choices failed. He could not draft an offensive lineman to save his life. He wanted to pass on Ware but was overruled. He gutted a pretty good 4-3 defense for an average 3-4 defense. Then the topper was Bobby Carpenter. He spent several years building an average team. He took a good look in the mirror and decided to pack it in.

Based on what Parcells says, it wasn't that either. He's the type of coach who puts everything into what he's doing and after the Seattle loss in the playoffs, he just didn't want to coach anymore. It wasn't his personnel choices that drove him out of coaching because I think he felt pretty good about the direction he was taking the team. He just had had enough to the demands of coaching, especially letting losses eat at him.

I'm as big a jeri hater as anyone and think he's a worthless piece of **** as a GM but I'm pretty this is not correct.

Tex Schramm wanted to hire Jimmy but couldn't get his good friend Landry to retire and didn't have the heart to fire him. I believe Jimmy came highly recommended and was probably the next hire whomever bought the team. Their familiarity probably did bring a level of comfort to jeri but it wasnt the sole reason for the hire.

That is exactly what I'm saying

Keeping himself as GM and hiring Garrett to be HC to teach him how to kneel in front of Jerry and ruin the careers of Romo and Witten and Ware

As a fan of Cowboys, if you value winning championships, there is no way you can be a fan of Jerry. If you list all the reasons why the Cowboys were mediocre for the last 20 years, the clear number 1 reason is because Jerry jones was the owner of the Cowboys

 

[CowboyChris]

anyone who thinks Jerry is making the calls on personnel the last few years are only fooling themselves...our approach to FA, and the draft has changed significantly since Stephen, Will and Jason took charge.

Bathe in that.

Lots of guys who came up under Ron Wolf at the top of the list.

3. John Schneider, Seahawks
4. Ted Thompson, Packers
8. John Dorsey, Chiefs
12. Reggie McKenzie, Raiders

I questioned Ron Wolf making it into the HOF two years ago based on his teams only winning 1 Superbowl, however, when you look at the success of his proteges in the league you can see why he was well respected.

You could argue that he had a large hand in the Raiders titles in 1976 (he did a lot of legwork before taking the Bucs job that year), 1980 and 1983.

Bathe in that.

It is a badge of honor, dear sir

 

[Ranched]

Jones didn't chase off Parcells. There's also no evidence Jones was tired of strongwilled future Hall-of-Famers just because Garrett is now head coach. So this article doesn't seem to contain much accuracy.

True. It was Me-O. Tuna was quoted saying, "if he stays, I go".

 

[TwoDeep3]

Bathe in that.

Yes, you are correct. But I bet even the fans of the Browns hang on to useless stats and nonfactual garbage platitudes to assuage the truth that their franchise is mired in suckage.

He's the best owner totally ignores his penchant for keeping the very same GM that has not produced one NFC Championship seed for this team since Jimbo left. Not to mention lacking any real skill set to build even a mildly competent team around Romo so the kid could get his due and win something. Or reveal his ceiling isn't higher than a one and done play-off bid.

 

[cowboyblue22]

jerry jones is the number one reason the cowboys haven't won a divisional playoff game in over twenty years after Johnson and before parcells there was no chance during parcells time there was some chance now we are back to no chance
