Once Jerry Buys the Farm, Will Stephen Hire a GM?

[WPBCowboysFan]

Not a stupid question although its mere speculation at this point. The Cowboys have been a hot topic all week after pissing away an almost certain win. Red J's job status and Jerry the GM have been a large part of the discussion. Of course Jerry is getting blasted for saying something along the lines of cutting out the middle man if we had a GM so he just makes it all more efficient by acting in that role.

We all know that as long as he is physically capable he will not give up his "GM" role. Not only does he love it, but if he gave it up it would look like an admittance of failure so he could never do that.

Stephen obviously will be next man up once Jerry is planted. Will he hire a true GM? Something I've thought about this week as there has been all kinds of talk about Jerry as a failure in the GM role. I may be wrong here, but Stephen doesnt seem to be even half the man that Jerry is when it comes to energy and being able to juggle so many balls in different roles.

Any thoughts on how things might change once Jerry is a memory? Can we get any kind of read on Stephen?

More of a curiosity question than anything?

You could be right. After all Jerry has the brain of a 40 year old.

Didn't see the "Once"...for a minute got excited...Then I remembered it's just a game...then I was still mad at Jerruh...Then I remembered it was just a game...sigh...

I think he said he would hire a football guy to handle stuff a while back iirc. Who really knows what to believe when it comes to them.

I don't think we'll know until this officially becomes his team. Once it becomes his we'll see if he does go that route. Until then he remains a shadow.

A 40 year old bourbon!

If Jerry does buy a farm, I'll donate a pig and a chicken!

I read somewhere in the past the Stephen would hire a GM once he is the active owner, sorry , but I can't recall where I saw that.

Guys, it's exactly like the movie Inception. We need to go 3 layers deep into Stephens dreams, and plant the idea in his head to give up his father's empire. We'll need a team of 6, I'm one, so 5 more. Where's Leonardo Dicaprio?

Fixed!

People keep saying that, but nobody can ever produce a direct quote.

I know I'd like to see it.

Until I do, I recognize him as basically nothing but a younger version of his father, who is ruining this franchise.

Starting to think Randy Galloway has been right all along...Jerry will outlive us all!

 

[DallasCowboysRule!]

Jerry will have it out in his will that his brain must be downloaded to a computer and consulted before every decision. He will be GM forever.

 

[Wheeltax]

I actually think Stephen will hire a GM, even if it's someone who doesn't get the title.

Maybe his buddy Jason...

 

[Wolf2k5]

Wow. Usually we have to wait till after everyone hates the draft and free agency for the annual (and incredibly innaporiate) "when Jerry dies..." Thread

How would you laugh? You would be dead. Answer that, Mr. Smarty Pants.
