RotoWorld Ranks GMs

[SilverStarCowboy]

How ironic that Jerry himself has admitted he would have fired himself long ago as the GM. Funny how he sees his shortcomings and was brutally honest in his assessment yet people can't bring themselves to admit something Jerry already has. Priceless.

That's a real kick in the draws, Jerry himself is saying he sucks.

Besides the stereotype he's been branded with as the owner/GM who calls all the shots much to the chagrin of everyone else in the
organization, what actual proof do either of you have that Jerry DOESN'T delegate?

Garrett has a ton of input into what kind of players we bring in. The defensive coaches certainly offer input into what kind of players they need for their schemes. The scouting department isn't paid to sit around and do nothing.

Jerry is the guy who puts his face out there and wears the GM title because he wants credit if/when the team starts winning again. He craves it. So others in the organization have to swallow a bit of pride when working for Jerry. But that doesn't mean he actually runs the team like a dictator. Jimmy himself said Jerry never meddled. The only reason anyone would think Jerry's been calling his own shots for the last 10+ years is because of the perception that's been attached to him.

Either way, there's no way you can spin a .500 record into being the 6th worst GM in the NFL. If anything, he's proven to be average... and "average" falls somewhere in the 12-20 range.

Late to this answer from yesterday but here we go

1) My oldest brother worked for the Cowboys for 5 years. He sold high end suites for the stadium when it was opening. You would probably say "who cares, what insight is that?" Well there was only 3-4 of them selling these suites. Millions of dollars in investments. They officed at the stadium and saw Jerry or someone in the Jones family daily. He met with Jerry often. The group would go on Jer's private jet to a couple of games. They saw his work daily. The point being Jerry was involved even in things like suite sales. VERY involved despite my brother having really smart bosses above him. Also, a great perk was 2 tickets to all home games and wining and dining clients gameday. This included hanging with many ex players like Woodson. All said the same thing...he is in everything. So yeah he delegates, but it doesn't mean he doesn't control.

2) If Garrett and the coordinators have so much input then why not blame Garrett during Wade's stint too?

3) You can spin .500. This ranking is 2014 not 1994. So you can be .500 and be trending down due to cap, hires, playoffs, etc.
