Dear Mr. Jones,

I write to you on behalf of a growing number of Dallas Cowboys fans, particularly members of the Cowboys Zone community, who feel it is time to address a hard truth: your era as owner and General Manager of this storied franchise needs to come to an end.

For nearly 30 years, our team has been mired in mediocrity, failing to reach even an NFC Championship game since 1995. This long drought of success has left fans frustrated and disillusioned. While the Dallas Cowboys remain one of the most valuable and recognizable brands in sports, the on-field product continues to fall short of expectations.

The roster is consistently constructed with glaring weaknesses. Whether it's a lack of depth at critical positions or a single, fatal flaw that every team seems to exploit, the Cowboys have struggled to field a complete and balanced team. Each season feels like a tale of missed opportunities, where one obvious deficiency undoes all potential progress. These shortcomings point to a broader issue: the constant mismanagement of the salary cap.

Despite having some of the league’s brightest talents, the financial strategy behind the team has been erratic. Large contracts are handed out without clear foresight, and the cap is often leveraged in ways that handicap the team’s flexibility. As a result, year after year, we see the Cowboys fall short, often undone by poor decisions at the top.

The role of owner and General Manager in today’s NFL is a demanding one, and the dual responsibilities are simply too much for one person to handle. Your contributions to the team in the early years, including the Super Bowl victories, are deeply appreciated and forever etched in history. However, in the modern era, your involvement in the day-to-day football operations has consistently failed to deliver results.

Cowboys Zone members, and many other fans, believe it’s time for a new direction. The passion of Cowboys fans is unmatched, but with each passing year, that passion is met with frustration and disappointment. The era of “almost” is not what this franchise deserves, and after nearly three decades, it’s clear that a change at the very top is necessary.

Mr. Jones, we are calling on you to sell the team and relinquish control over football operations. We are asking for a fresh start with leadership that prioritizes on-field success and brings in football minds dedicated solely to returning the Dallas Cowboys to their rightful place among the NFL elite.

The time has come for you to step back and allow the Cowboys to thrive again. This decision would honor your legacy while giving the next generation of Cowboys fans the hope and success that has eluded us for so long.


Sincerely,
J12B, Cowboys Zone Members and Loyal Cowboys Fans
Think someone wrote this 30 years ago. I don’t think Jerry cares lol.

Rambo, bless you, truly the most optimistic poster on this site by some margin.

I'm sure if someone dumped 10 tons of horse manure on your front lawn you'd run to the garden shed to grab a spade so you could start digging convinced there must by a million dollar thoroughbred stallion in there somewhere.
It's like the last three 12 win seasons never happened. I'd watch the Eagles tonight and next week before I would **** on our team..

Those wins are in the past, stop bring them up and live in the moment. But, can I ask you a question? How did you get on Daks payroll and how much does it pay?

The more time passes, the more I blame the terrible Giants and Washington team I cannot name. They are so bad we literally get a 4-0 or 3-1 record every year but it tilts our record.

Are we 12-5 or are we really 8-5? We are not a bad team, far from it but we aren't a great team and these "gimme" wins are letting us get fat and lazy.

It pains me as a fan but we aren't winning anything under this set up.

I like the open letter, but Jerry will just fart on it and throw it away. He doesn't care. As long as he's making money, what happened yesterday doesn't bother him one bit.

Edit

Jerry Jones giving a one-word response might be the more refreshing thing he has ever done, like, in his entire 82-year life.
So, you are waiting on a bunch of F words... :popcorn: :grin:

field goal
foul
fumble
formation
flat
flank
flick header
foot trap
football IQ
football strength

I have a letter for Jerry too. It's a one sentence letter with two words, but the first word is banned here...the second word is "YOU!" I think you can figure out the first word from that though.

Dear NotForLong,

Why don't you just go follow another team if you don't support your QB and the decisions I make! You can't spell! You're a broke and jealous hater and don't know football good like me and my ilk!

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:


Kind regards,

JJ and Family

Jerry can't read unless it's a contract with many zero's in it...Write one billion letters to him. No money involved Jerry could careless. You want to stop Jerry??? Stop his money from coming in...Only language he knows.

Billboard? :laugh:
That's actually a great idea. You know how amazing it would be if the Cowboys fanbase banded together and rented out billboards all over the DFW area with some kind of slight towards the Jones' boys. It would be glorious. :laugh:

The most illogical and grating issue is that Jerry Jones can have the best of both worlds. He can separate himself (his family would be a bonus) from football operations and install qualified football executives in the front office. And he can claim as much credit as he wishes for any positive results from that change in management, while continuing to make billions more. It is literally so simple a choice that a Caveman...
Oh what a great day that would be to have a great football mind running the Cowboys.It would be great for the franchise,and Jerry would be more popular and respected by the fans.And if the product on the field improved ,sales would follow.Everybody wins.
