After much Senior Bowl Buffoonery via diarrhea mouth and offspring…no need to repeat any of it and ruin a good Sunday…you all heard it. Im left asking myself….

Are they selling their product the way they feel necessary, or do they truly believe the crap they spew?

They honestly say things that I would expect a not so knowledgeable casual fan to say, and it falls somewhere between scary and embarrassing. I have a difficult time admitting I’m a fan of this team these days, and it’s not at all about losing games.

I don’t expect them to trash players publicly, and I know Jerry only does this to be a celebrity, so asking him to shut it altogether isnt going to happen….but can’t they learn to say things like…”we will evaluate all players between now and the start of the league year, as we always do.”

How difficult is THAT? It isn’t.

So I ask again, as one example…do they truly BELIEVE that Elliott can still play at a high level, or do they just feel the need to SAY that?


If they kept it simple like saying we evaluate all players ect, that doesn’t get attention that Jerrah craves. They love to think they are smarter than everyone else and want to let you know it. Everyone knows Zeke is done but Stephen said he sees no drop off. They just can’t help themselves.

I feel that they will say that, but they certainly would draft Robinson and cut Elliott after June 1st, after they do the math for the roster that they want to create.

They absolutely believe it.

Jerry is emotionally invested in the Cowboys. He is emotionally invested in the team, and running it, and receiving credit.

People who are emotionally invested in something heavily enough will throw reason out the window. I believe it explains some of Jerry’s less-than-ideal decisions.

How about you not telling me how to think or feel?

I didn’t a write a word about telling anyone how to run their business, and you have NO idea what I have or haven’t accomplished in life, and it has zero to do with this.

As much as I try to be civil with you and make sense of your cryptic illiteracy, you don’t seem to want to get that everyone has their own opinion, and THIS is the place to express it.

I asked a question in the OP that you didn’t at all mention. You just decided on your own to attack me over being upset that people are being mean to your pals Jerry and son.

I’m sorry sir. Here’s a tissue.
Yet you do , you are an egomaniacal fans from past of group of KnowItAll fans who express ridiculous opinions which are all based off your hate for the team, coaches, and ownership. seems to me you need to leave this place , delete all Cowboy related groups you belong to, burn all your old gear that most likely dates back to Jimmy or Landry days and find another team to follow..

you are 100% negativity win or lose and its gets tiresome.im not sure how many Ignores I'm allowed, i imagine its getting filled up but you are being benched by me ... :oldcouple: 24-7-365 hate for team is not what fans do..

criticism yes but that not what some of you do, its insidious trying to take down your disdain for the team from within disguised as a fan.. you are not a fan and the group of you that do this 24-7 are also not true fans.. fake azz old guard fans who have hated the cowboys for a long time so you drop in to destroy these forums with negativity,

the constant put downs and posts on how Jones and company aren't doing their job and you of all people some fan mired in anonymity with ZERO Por football resume how to do their jobs better especially after b2b 12 win seasons and they have improved under MM and still moving forward until they don't..

they are making changes at a faster rate than they did under Garett and how about we wait until after the 23 season is played to actually debate what actually happens not what might happen.

Great question. Are they really that dumb?
OR are they so good at selling their inferior product that they can even pretend to double down on obvious product flaws while still reaping enormous profits?

They have mastered the sales vs. delusion mystery.

And here we are.

They got rid of Ware, Witt, Romo, Coop etc so maybe they are just bluffing with Zeke. I do think Zeke is huge in the locker room that carries a lot of worth with them.
