PFT: Jerry's interview with Peter King

[jrumann59]

That implies ethics also...

I am sure Jerry and company make sure he does not get into a room with a reporter without gatekeeper present.

 

[McKDaddy]

all that really matters is what they do on the field. all the talk is filler. i try to tune as much of it as possible out.

 

[Hennessy_King]

Some1 put him in a home already. The competitve world isnt made for 80 year olds

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Would any of those teams not trade for the Dallas success over the past two seasons? Now explain why that very success improved upon, deserves to be ignored!

Don't know. A couple of those teams are up and coming teams and Washington has a new owner. To be an up and coming team without JJ is something to ponder because in the end the last 2 seasons ended in failure. And those loses to the 49ers were really embarrassing.

 

[Montanalo]

My "relationship" with Jerry Jones has somewhat followed the classic seven stages of grief.

From the post Jimmy Johnson days of denial and anger, I now find myself in the "acceptance and hope" stage. Jerry is what he is: good to great owner and, at best, an average GM.

I've mentioned in other threads that I have grown to appreciate and enjoy his pressers... if nothing else, they're entertaining. I am less concerned with what JJ does now and more concerned with what happens when he is gone.

Just my two cents

Please also include the 'fans' that are belligerent towards anyone that is critical of Dak.

Belligerent? That is sometimes true as well. I am uncertain why anyone rooting for Prescott should be included within the context of what I stated. Below is my comment and the section you highlighted:

The media puts a target on the quarterback and use bazookas. Fans are belligerent towards fellow fans for cheering on the quarterback. Neither media nor fans have any say so as to what happens with the position.

What is highlighted in red and blue is relevant. Fans = Overly critical fans. Being overly critical is a rationalization that has merit regardless of an opposing view. However, being overly critical and essentially blaming fellow fans solely for supporting a player, whom they have zero say in his performance, starter status, contract, etc., holds zero merit.

Yet, there is a single individual who maintains total say over how a player's performance starter status, contract, etc., will be adhered. That is the individual I believe should receive the bulk or total ire of fans who do not like a player's performance, etc.--not fellow fans of the same team in my opinion.

Contextually, overly critical fans want Prescott gone. Their fellow fans want Prescott to stay. Overly critical fans should understand their fellow fans cannot bench Prescott. Their fellow fans cannot waive Prescott. Their fellow fans cannot draft Prescott's replacement.

Question: Who has the power to do what overly critical fans want?
Answer: Jerry Jones

Perhaps the overly critical fans might not receive returned belligerence from their fellow fans if over criticism targeted the true source of their misgivings about a player instead of them.

You get up, dust off, and continue mission. Last season there was a missing running back for a half and a weak receiver group...and if one combines the loss totals for two years, how many points were involved. By the way, has the defense been improving as well.

2 straight 12 win seasons are solid in all team's books, even if by a Dallas Cowboys team. Why would that even have to be mentioned? It's not a needed element to a fair picture.

 

[DallasEast]

Without using an insultive word for Jerry, do explain why a fan should not acknowledge a truly good team at the start of this very season...come on now.

"Why a fan should not acknowledge a truly good team at the start of this very season?"

Why not address this question to any member 'who has stated this is not a truly good team at the start of this very season'? I have not stated this assumption.

Quote what I have stated previously which prompted you to come to this conclusion. Or reply with another observation from another discussion tangent again.

Simply pointing out the other side of the coin that takes place daily within this group from all levels of posters.

This was the quote responded to:

Jerry's ego nor naievete are not where fans place it. This team is solid all the way through as to it's being built on solid ground.

Sure.

You deny a softly implied anti-Jerry attached element? Seen quite often to a response by mine with a pro Jerry statement included...(coughing)

If you say no, I'll discontinue a questioning...then.

Unlike most fans, I do believe Jerry wants to win. Why wouldn't an egomaniac want to win the greatest sports trophy on Earth? It's just him and his seedlings have proven they aren't very good at it. They can build competent teams, as we've seen, but they've yet to prove they can build a real winning group.

As a fan, I am basically riding on the law of averages at this point. Some year Dallas is going to make a run..............................................right??? RIGHT???

Yes , he wants to win more than anyone but only his way so he can receive the credit he’s pursuing as a celebrity football guy.

If winning at all cost was truly the ultimate priority he’d hire someone else and hold them accountable, like 30 other NFL owners .

But even at 80 years old he believes he’s what’s best for Cowboys Football insisting on being the face of the franchise.

What fan actually believes this is what’s best ?

 

[Diehardblues]

I don't take it personally and I am just pointing out facts about how this team has evolved over the past decade.

Honestly, Jerry has seeded a lot of the decisions to others in the organization and that's a big reason this team has been one of the best drafting in the past decade.

Also, we got our first road playoff win in 30 years and our first back to back playoffs in a long time.

This change from what we saw for the 20 years after 1995 has a lot to do with Jerry letting others do what they do best and it is ok to recognize that....it's not defending him, but rather acknowledging he did a crappy job for a long time but in his waning years he's improved and thus improved the team and its performance

All of this may be true but the bigger point is he’s still our biggest obstacle to overcome.

And it doesn’t excuse the damage he’s already done this era.

What Cowboy fan still believes at age 80 he’s our best option to run or oversee Cowboys Football as GM in whatever capacity ?

Thanks.

My direction of posts is consistent...leave a respected discussion, and it will be given diligent consistency to state as intended. Don't care for that, stay off my posts to stir pot then...I talk and don't accept categorization not intended from the start.

When supporting my team, I don't sit up for a brow beat. But those are my ethics and morales. Those come ernestly...

 

[Diehardblues]

Look how much improvement we’ve seen with a valid experienced and proven HC. Imagine if we had the same type of front office with a GM and VP.

 

[CCBoy]

He knows what is best for his own franchise run by he and his family. He already is in the Hall of Fame for NFL effectiveness and achievements.

Jerry loves the NFL and his heart bleeds blue for the Dallas Cowboys. Always has and always will..

 

[Diehardblues]

Not sure why all fans can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.

We can applaud and appreciate the progress made in last couple years while continuing to critique this era overall.

 

[DallasEast]

Right.

Dude. You do understand you initially responded to my post and not vice versa..?

I talk and don't accept categorization not intended from the start.

Good for you.
