CFZ Nothing is going to change here

[jwooten15]

Nothing is going to change in Dallas. The Cowboys may arbitrarily have a good season here and there, but the future (20+ years) as a whole is very bleak.

Why?

The Jones family.

This once-revered franchise has become a family business that is solely driven by revenue and ratings. Jerry has nearly every family member on the Cowboys’ payroll. They’re a bunch of entitled, silver-spoon-fed individuals who haven’t the slightest clue of how to put together quality football teams. Success is secondary to nepotism and profit and brand recognition. Jerry all but said as such just this last week.

Record number of people show up to training camp, games, and buy ungodly amounts of apparel… all to support a mediocre franchise that hasn’t done anything in a quarter century.

Jerry is going to give the Cowboys to Stephen and then Stephen is going to pass it to one of his entitled, bratty children who have even less of a clue. It’s going to be a perpetual cycle of the same garbage we’ve seen for the last 25 years.

I used to hope that the Cowboys could luck their way to a championship DESPITE the Jones family. At this point, that hope is all but lost.

 

[Aftershock]

The only hope is for the fan base to rebel and not attend any games. Hurt the orgs revenue

 

[Jipper]

What will change is fans will stop believing

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Jerry gonna be spinning like a pro tomorrow on the Fan.


Think he's on K&C tomorrow..can't wait.

 

[stiletto]

I think most of us have known that for a long time. We still love the team, so we compartmentalize blame to coaches and players, scheme all that to bide time and pray the team backs into something meaningful.

It really is Groundhog Day pretty much ultimately. I had just turned 21 when the Cowboys were last a truly great franchise. That was probably 2 Livers worth of drinking ago! haha

It's quite a depressing rut to be in for a team you give so much to. Not just $$ but time emotions, and hope, etc. Sometimes I envy people like my sisters or parents who have never had any interest in the game. Seems like it would be easier sometimes.

That won’t happen, unfortunately. Think of all the moronic Cowboy fans out there who literally say, every year, “we’re winning it all!!!”. I can’t see that blind, cult-like following dying out

And he'll be getting trite/snarky towards the announcers for asking him why he thought the way he did. Questioning his great football mind.

I hear ya, man. Just think of all the awesome things we could go and do if we didn’t devote Sundays to this mess! lol

 

[bewp7]

[TX_Yid]

Mike will be sacrificed by November to appease the great unwashed

This is peak Jerry. As long as the money rolls in, there's no need to change.

I’m game for that. This organization should run out of money by 2054 by my calculations.

we can outlast them!

I'm walking away from it. I think we all need to.

 

[jwooten15]

How would we even organize a revolt on a large enough scale to make a difference? Seems pretty much impossible

Couldn't have said it any better,this **** hurts,and also the reason why a lot of us are so negative. I became a cowboy fan in the mid 70s,and in my wildest dreams could never believe we would turn out like this,a fraud.

I do not frequent this board often but the wife and I went to two 3 Super Bowls in the 90s. Long time STH at the old Texas Stadium. Winning is no longer necessary. That TM star is money to the Jones family and that goofy kid that is a grandson to one of the Jones's spawns will someday be the GM.

“We gotta take these *******s. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!”

It worked in Animal House…..

Stephen Jones looks to be the next Mike Brown so it’s time to scout how Stephen Jr will be as a gm 30 years from now

They have been able to get away with this for 2 reasons:
They lucked into both Romo and Dak for next to nothing.
Once they don't have a decent QB and can't luck into a decent one.
They are gonna have Campo years again.
That's going to create a lot of pressure to make real changes.
