PFT: Troy Aikman calls out Jerry for a 30-year Super Bowl drought

[Hawkeye0202]

Agree 100%.........it's no longer about blaming players and/or coaches. It has taken me a while to see it, but this is on Jerry 100%. At a very minimum, he should have a high-level assistant GM with some authority working under him and NO, not McClay. He is also part of the problem IMO.

The worst thing that ever happened to the Cowboys was Jerry winning so soon into his tenure. It made him think he had the right stuff to win continuously and underestimate or completely disregard the impact other people had on the team's success.

This is why I am so adamant every year against people eating the cheese as long as Jerry is the GM. He makes it impossible to contend because the GM is too important to leave to an unprofessional, unqualified, part time, proven failure in that role or you get 30+ years of this crap. It's like playing NHL Hockey with no goalie the entire season. Yeah, you can win some games, but you'll never contend or compete in the championship.

Jerry probably has Troy on "ignore" at this point.

If only he would do what he did in those early years again with a coach like Jimmy and let him rule the locker room.

SHUT UP TROY AND CONSULT with us on Brooks lol

The team did it's best when all Jerry did was sign checks. That's his best role for the Cowboys. Sign the checks and stay the hell out of the way.

For sure, he can also walk around the locker room and give high fives. Make the press conference trade announcements. He can pretend he was a football guy just like he did with Jimmy running things.

Exactly! If Troy really wants to see a cowboys Super Bowl drought end then consult the Dolphins to trade Brooks to Dallas for a 6 round pick!

This year is not crap.

Aikman believes it’s unacceptable for the Cowboys to go three decades without a Lombardi Trophy, or even getting close to one.
