I think too many bottom numbers are a result of thinking a team can always be a dynasty. Jerry is a joke at times, but if he was a 1 or a negative number, we’d be the Lions or the Browns. Dallas has always been competitive in the division, even when the division was good or had SB champs. We are the Cowboys, so 8-8 or 12-3 with a first round playoff loss sucks, but there are teams that would love just one 8-8 season or one top seeding. The reality is that he’s been the owner for 33 years and we’ve appeared in the playoffs 19 years, never been at the bottom. He’s been absolutely terrible and embarrassing at times, but the Cowboys are not just lucky and don’t make the playoffs just because they are the Cowboys.
Far from the best, Jerry has not been the worst owner or gm. Historians would easily point out that he hasn’t even been the worst owner the Cowboys have had.
