Mic dropBusiness acumen aside, pretty poor actually. For an owner not to be aware he's a terrible GM is unforgivable

As we all know, Dallas, Washington and Detroit are the only NFC teams to have never made it to the conference title game since 1996. So we don't need to rehash that thing for the 1000th time.
That being said, it's worth it to discuss Jerry overall compared to the 31 other owners. Sure, we want wins rather than money, but there's no denying Jerry has done a fantastic business job growing the Cowboys to the world's most valuable sports team, having the highest ratings and having America's biggest NFL fan base despite Dallas' terrible playoff record since 26 years ago. If he could do all that despite sucking in wins, imagine how utterly dominant the Cowboys would be if they actually were making deep playoff runs regularly?
And also, under Jerry, we've had some fine drafts, even post-Jimmy. We got Diggs, Lamb, Parsons, Ware, Dez, Frederick, Witten, Romo, Dak, etc. It's not A+ drafting, but it's certainly not a C-.
So, objectively, grading Jerry in comparison to the other 31, is Jerry in the 50th percentile of owners? 80th? 20th?
Technically speaking, an owner's job is to make sure his/her company remains in existence, make sure his company turns a PROFIT, and make sure it remains relevant so it can continue to make a PROFIT!
No one is better than Jerry Jones in doing that.
While it is true that the Cowboys were America's Team before Jerry Jones, Jones revived the franchise. Whether you want to call it serendipity, blind stupidity or intentionality, he had the foresight to hire Jimmy Johnson and AGREED to the trade of Herschel Walker, which catapulted the Cowboys to three Super Bowl wins and restored their popularity and, honestly, expanded upon it.
The Cowboys today are living off the fumes of the 90s dynasty. I know people want to hate him in totality, but you MUST give him credit for the part he played in hiring Johnson and restoring the shine on America's Team.
Furthermore, Jerry Jones is a MARKETING GENIUS. Remember, he is the reason the NFL is the powerhouse it is as a league today, and his marketing prowess is the reason Jerry Jones is in the Hall of Fame.

But every team doesn't make as much money as the Dallas Cowboys do, just as every computer company doesn't make as much money as Apple.every team in the NFL makes a profit. I could care less about your articles on the Cowboys being leader in womans apparel and Jerry revolutionizing the NFL (and thats the writers opinion).
Now this is interesting. You dismiss my proof then ask for specifics.I could also care less about his marketing although the Cowboys led NFL in marketing before Jerry bought the team.
stop giving general statements-give me a specific
I care about winning not how much profit they make. Go tell the Rams they won but your team markets better and see the look you get. Jerry is the worst owner in the game
Can live with Jerry the owner.As we all know, Dallas, Washington and Detroit are the only NFC teams to have never made it to the conference title game since 1996. So we don't need to rehash that thing for the 1000th time.

In all fairness we have 3 SBs since he became the owner.If the ultimate goal is winning super bowls, his ranking would be bottom 10%.
to preface this lets continue but I have nothing against you-just a friendly argumentBut every team doesn't make as much money as the Dallas Cowboys do, just as every computer company doesn't make as much money as Apple.
Second, the writer works for Forbes magazine. That's like saying you couldn't care less about Roger Goodell's opinion on matters of the NFL.
The issue is credibility. And those in the know have more credibility than those who aren't.

Read the article. It gives SPECIFICS!
No, ownership is about ...
1. Making sure the business you own maintains relevance (with its primary customers) and
2. Making sure the business you own makes a PROFIT!
Winning is what maintains RELEVANCY! But if you can achieve relevancy sans winning, you're still doing your job as an owner.
Maybe not as a fan, but if you remain relevant, there's a possibility that you will ultimately win, seeing how not everyone can be on top every year.
But if you're in existence and if you're relevant, then you always have a chance.
In all honesty... he is one of the worst simply because he thinks he is a GM and that is what has cost us multiple NFC East championships and certainly at the very least probably 3 more SB's. One the first year of Switzer and certainly at least one during the Parcell years if he had stayed on longer. The Romo years maybe another.As we all know, Dallas, Washington and Detroit are the only NFC teams to have never made it to the conference title game since 1996. So we don't need to rehash that thing for the 1000th time.
